The pair proceeded Woodruff declares, to
No. III Clark-st. This is the place where, as
has frequently been published, the furniture of
the Carlson cottage was first stored. Wood
ruff said he.demanded to know what he would
have to do. Williams" replied: "You need
not know anything about it. Ii is deal, and
yo1 will not be implicated"
Turning round and looking me straight in
the face, he asked: Are you one of them still?
He referred to my helping fenisns at the time

This was about the Goth of April. On leav-
ing civilians" again urged him to go over and
see Alexander Sullivan. Woodruff's narrative
proceeds:
81 went to Deans barn and thought the mat
ter over and then returned and applied at
Alexander Sullivan's.
Alexander Sullivan was not in bis Office, but
going out | met him in the hall before |
reached the elevator / said: Mr.. Sullivan,

Alexander Sullivan replied: have moth
ing to say; have never met you before
"'Well, said, 4 think | have met you be-
fore; have grown out of your recollection

returned from Canada
Sullivan repeated his first answer 1 don't
recollect you; have never met you before
81 told him / was looking for a job and
Williams had recommended me to him. He
said: No, have no work for anybody. Are
you a stranger here? l said: ooh, have only
few acquaintance He asked: What kind
of work would you like? / said: Anything in
Gods world, if there is any money in it, He
looked at me sharply and replied: If | hear
of anything for you I'll let Mr.. WILLIAMS"
know and he walked away without even say
ing goodbye to me.
81 met Williams an hour later, after going out
of Sullivan's room on Clark-st. We took grip
car and came over on the north-side. ! told
him had seen Sullivan, and he asked: What
did he sayY / said: He came pretty near
telling me to go to hill without doing it."
Soon after this they met Sullivan on the
street He took Williams" to one side and
handed him money, saying: Now pay that
rent" Then seeing Woodruff, Sullivan told
him he must not take offense at his manner the
previous day, as he was very busy and had
great many applications for jobs.
The climax of the whole confession" is an
assertion by Woodruff that all his previous al
legged confessions" are bogus, and that this is
"the first and only statement | have made
since my arrest" the intimation being that the
other confessions" we're given circulation by
interested persons to create the impression
that he (Woodruff) was liar.
