The reporter then asked, us it true
that Attorney Tredway has been in con
sultation with Bismarck since his
return?
II will give you my word OF honor
that Tredway nor no one else has talked
with him."
Chief of Police Melon was interviewed
by a Journal reporter about his trip, and
while he treated the newspaper man very
~courteously, he vas careful not to give

"What is the import of ltP"
"That | am not at liberty to tell now"

ayes, when we get done with him."
Mr.. Melon said later tina. he wished
it was possible to turn the prisoner over
to the newspapers, they seemed 30
anxious to get at him, but thst could
not be done yet.
Police Judge Lawrence was asked
about the probable time of holding the
preliminary examination. and said:
The warrant was issued by me and l
do not know why a return is not made.
I held court this morning as usual, but
don't know why Kosnitski was not
brought IN. The CITY officials have had
this man IN charge all the way from
San Francisco and all around tho state
OF Iowa, and if ne has q statement 20
make, surely there has been time enough
to make it. 1 see no reason for keeping
these matters secret. IL he wapss to
to plead guilty he a do SO as we'll ir
public as in private, and il he wants q
hearing he can have that as we'll in
public as in private. I haze no axes to
grind in this matter.
