CHICAGO, July Eowlcs, the man in
the conspiracy against the Burlington road
against whom the testimony given ycstcr-
day was most conclusive, has il is stated,
made a full confession OF his share in tho
conspiracy. lie saw that in his case there
was little hope Of escape from conviction,
and early this morning 1t was made known
to District Attorney Ewing that Bowlcs
was ready to squcaL Arrangements wero
at once made TO take down his statement,
and he was conveyed to Mr. Ewing's of
flee TO tell all he knew. Another OF tho
arrested men, Cooling il is said, also con-
cludcd to come into camp, and bynoon to-
day all he knows about the plot against tho
Burlington will be told. The case Of
Chairmcn lIosc and Murphy which was
TO have come up before Justice Lyon this
morning WIS postponed for one week.
II is understood that Eowlcs has told tho
prosecution facts which will make the COM
yiction OF lIogc certain. Chairman llogc, IL
will be- seen, is the man thcyarc really after,
not only IA u blow they wish 90 strike the
brotherhood, hut because the road officials
dislike him personally. The other deicnd-
ants they are iavorably disposed toward.

Before the attorneys for the brotherhood
could get chance, BOwlcs still trembling,
was induced by the district attorney 10
arise quickly aud waive examination.
A sensational scene cnsucd. The broth
crhood attorneys, Donohoc and David, pro-
tested loudly that they had been treated
with great uniairncss and given no show
from the very outset ol the trial. Lawyer
David denounced Commissioner lloyne,
declaring eve could expect nothing else

10 bo arrested by the marshal, hut the lat
ter did not at once comply aud David sub
sequcntly made PickWickian apology To
