trunk. informed him that wc had a light rig. He said that was just the thing He told mo there was S2o in It for me if 1 could at the horse ara wagon and have it at designated spot | on Lincoln avenue before o'clock the next morning.
 That evening I stayed around tho sta ble playing cards with q MT. Scnica, of 1 Senica Rain, boot and shOo dealers, How ard and q man named Bates, until lO.3O or II o'clock.
 "I waited an hour and half or two | hours and then led the gray mare down the stairs. l put blanket ahead of her, over which she walked to prevent the noise. l had left the wagon in the alley and hitchcd up and drove up Lin- 1 coln avenue.
 .'when Coughlin paid me tho s25 he informed mo that would be met at Lin- coin avenue by two mon. l was to np- proach them and inquire of them whe re | Frank Williams lived. They would then get into the buggy with mo.
 ''On arriving near Ashland avenue and l Lincoln, two men jumped into the wagon without word. I recognized one of them as man by the name of O'Shea, alias "Mike McDougall," who was a machinist or blacksmith from Philadel- | phia. had known him In Wichita, Kan. The other man was Melville. I have met him before In Peoria, in connection with Irish matters.
 They ordered me to turn to the right on | Ashland avenue, and directed me to drive right up to tho cottage. The two len then jumped out and went in. There was dim light in the front room. After waiting q few moments Il | think it must have been nearly o'clock 1 by this time--P. O'Sullivau, Melville and | Williams came out the door carrying a trunk between them. They lifted the trunk into the wagon and Melville and Williams jumped into the seat with me. 7"
 Woodruff then gives description of the drive, which is practically tho same as ke told at first, and which has already been printed several times. He says it was the intention to TOW out into the lako with the trunk and sink it with the body in 1t, but just as they got to the lako shore they heard q vehicle approach ing, and getting frightened his compan- ions ordered him to drive on.
 II asked: Where shall I go2' Mel vile said: Anywhere. Just keep nov ing am afraid we are being followed.
 Williams turned to Melville and said i: 'The seweris us good place as any
 "The first sewer we came to Melville said to nc: This will do' Melville and Williams jumped out. went to the horses head. Melville jumped into the wagon and lifted one end of the trunk on tho top, but could not lift it, and called to Williams to help him. Melville l Jumped into the wagon and lifted ono end of tho trunk near the weeel. Williams grabbed it by the handle. gave 1t jerk and throw it to the ground. The weight of the body raised tho lid. The trunk was not turned over nor was the body thrown out. They carried the trunk to the sewer and tried to crowd it all down.
 II heard Williams say: We can't dump 1t in.' The next morning l saw they had lifted the trunk lengthwise and let the body drop head foremost into the sewer. They then tried to crowd the trnnk in after the body. Findidg they could not do this, Melville said: We can take this back and burn it. Williams said: We can't burn 1t at the house.
 "At this called out, Get in for God $ sake and let's get back We drove back Co Edgewater, where Melville and Will Hams got out and started for the lake carrying a little medicine case which had been lying at our feet and buried 1t in the sand on the lake shoro."
 | While they were doing this, Woodruff says he was accsted by a policeman, who being satisfied with his explanation that I ut uttIl lOSJ lilS way OAACSGCo uOW Io Sci back to the city.
 After going short distance" he con tinues, II pulled up, as l thought heard the sound of wheels in the gravel We were then on country crossroad. called out, Listen! We heard the sound of the wheels plainly, and said: There comes a team.' Williams said. My God So there isr said: Let's get rid of tn, trunk. It looks suspicious from the out side.
 Williams got out and took the trunk carrying 1t to the fence and hish bushes and throw it over. He came back, and walked the horse a short distance uuti the team had passed out of hearing. w, came back by way of Ashland avenue ant went past the cottage. As we passet
 we saw woman going in the back way } Just before we reached Webster auenu I asked Melville:
 "'What about the clothes. Have yo, , got rid of them? He said, 'Ol1, 5 al , right We'll attend to them Che turning to Williams he said, You hat better go out to the house tomorrow an, , , see that things are cleared up. William l replied, No, we have been around ther = enough already we will let Don atten
 to that.
 l "At that time we were near Belde
 avenue, and 1 turned to Melville an , asked, Are you going right down to tn barn with me? He answered, "No; al ;, we there?'
 "They then got out. l said to then D I will see you tomorrow
 .'Melville answered, I don't know. = may not be in town. You have as good @ scheme as you want now. I asked
 What is that? He replied, You won a need any training to work, Aleck.'
 said Well, I suppose l stand in wit '. you He replied No, you don't stand on our bet. It is every man for himself l. "As they left me. Williams said: Don strike him too heavy. There is a zoe 9 many of us.' I oeplied: Yes, the ma = would have to be millionaire to taE a care of this crowd.
