CHIEF CLARK.
Chief of Police CLARK also testified be-
fore Mayor O'Brien, giving the details of
the murder, the finding of the body, &c.
He testified to the burglary of Bailey's
residence the night of tho murder and the
finding of some trinkets near the body of
the murdered man which were stolen from
the Bailey residence. He also testified to
having met Delos. He (Delos) stopped at
Geo. Morton's colored resort, and George
Morton told him the men Underhill and
Washington were in the city at the time
of the murder, and that Morton told him
they were desperate men. Chief Clark
produced tin-type picture of the man
Underhill which was identified by Delos.
He said the tin-type was obtained from
st. Louis.
CAPT. BREsETT.
Capt. Bresett, of the police force, who
has, more than any other man, worked up
the case, gave his testimony showing what
he had obtained from Delos. He had told
where the supposed murderer was to be
found, IN the Illinois penetentiary at
Chester and thither he went. Bresett
said he went there and saw Wash
ington, one of the accused men. Wash
ington admitted that he was in st. Paul
at the time of the murder, and admitted
everything except that he did rot want to
tell who did the shooting. He also ad
mitted that Underhill was with him, that
they were at Geo. Mortan's together, and
left the city in box car
for Hastings and from there
went by boat to st. Louis.
Further questioning showed that he SUBJ
stantially knew of some great crime Un-
derhill had committed, but did not want
to give him away.
GEO. MORTON.
Geo. Morton testifes that the two sup
posed murderers left his house at 8 O'Clock
the night of the murder and he never saw
them afterward.
The whole chain of evidence is 80 inter-
woven that it seems certain that the mur-
derers have at last been secured, and if so,
it is to be hoped that their speedy trial and
punishment will follow.
