From gentleman intimate with the course
Of recent events in the Southwest. R,Pab-
iicun reporter Yesterday learned something
of the substance of the confession Of Ables,

late repIieve from hanging has Caused some
thing Of . sensation. The .act that Asles
Vas reprieved because Of alleged new tesii =
mony in his case, and because oil the fact
stated that Lane, the murdered man, had
been criminaliy intimate with the wife Of
Ables. and that the killing was the ven-
geance Of an injured husband, considerable
mystery still hangs about the case. /. Is
supposed that in final confession Ables
was afforded means :or securing the new
testimony partly exonorating him, bu, the
details Of this confession have not yet been
made public. II is now stated, how
ever, that the confession was full and COM
plete, made to Hon. W. II. Phillips, and
that Ables makes something like claim to
having acted in self-lefence. His alleged
statement il to the effect that when his wife
ran away with another he secured Lane and
started in pursuit, and tina, while foIIowin.
the fleeing wife Ables thought Lane in earn

shot at Ables several times, one shot taking
effect in Ables' wrist. the latter then
turned and fired at Lane. the frs, shot TAX
ing effect in the breast and Lane ielI beg
ging for mercy. Ables said, II believe You
ran my wife off," Lane admitted that he
had. and Ables fred another shot, which
took effect in his victims head. Lanes dy-
ing confession was to the effect that he in
duced Ables' wife to run of. for which he
asked to be forgiven. The first sho, he
says, was fred in self-defence and the second
for revenge.
After killing Lare, Ables took the formers

on To the bridge and Ball was struck By one

narrow oue. The moment he was struck he
was dashed down on to the bridge and the
train swept on ahead.
When Ball leaned out he was struck in
the head by an upright, AMI dashed with
considerable violence ON one 81 the cross

The funeral of Mrs. J. Z. Leake took

church was crowded, and the ceremoni, e
were of the most solemn and impressive
character. Rev. Davidson offciated, assist

the deceased.
The following, composed for the occasion
by Rosa Pearle, and arranged to music by

Banished and all its fears:
Thou hast found home of glory,
Thro' the bright. eternal years.

Thou shalt walk with the Eternal.
And with Hun Thy spirit fill.
Farcwel-farewell.
Farewell, farewell. tho well miss thee,
We shall meet upon that shore,
Where the weary soul L. welcome,
And sad partings come no more

io answer the charge at this term IL court.
Knowing that
HE WAS GUILTY,
and that his doom would br imprisonment
in the pcLr,en,isry and bring ever
LISTING disgrace upon himself and his
family, he grew moruss aud desperate, and
determined To die rather than To wait the
retrihutinn ri the law.
Yesterday morning, while in Faye:.e
and under the Influence III whisky, he at
tempted To put his desperate resolution into
execution n, the Central Hotel. He de-
libcrately drew y pistol and cccked it,
PLACED THE MrZzLE ro Hts BREAST
and fired. Strange To saw. he was unhurt-
the thick, heavy overcoat he wore proving
an impenctrable shield To the bullet which
lodged in IL, AMI thus he was saved from
the humiliaiins death he sought.
At the rePor, OF the weapon crowd a.
sembl.i, and had it no, been for their un-
firing efforts. he would have again shot
himself. ~ he had alread y taken of his Goa
