Talks On Dstsctivss.
Said detectives stood around his
rooms aud followed him. III they we're
there that evening they would be-
arrested. He was getting sick and tired
of being followed about by spies Sc
cured by his dearly beloved brothers"
Witness remembered talking about
gold mines to DIR. Palmer WAS lying
about them. He could mold his end cp
with any of them. He Was drunk
when he talked with Palmer. Always
got drunk when he saw detectives.
Had seen detectives In the Griffin
house. The envelope he gave the clerk
of that house contained mining stock.
fifty shares In the Lost Louisiana"
about SIX miles from Hot Syringe,
Arkansas. The ore from that mine
yielded about IS or $40 ton.
He also had . burglar alarm patent.
He had given $500 In cash and
$500 shares of assesable mining stock
for the alarm. The par value of the
stock Was IS = share, but wasn't worth
. cent. Didn't remember taking with
Mrs Johnston, the clairvoyant, about
the burglar alarm. Mrs. Johnston was
not clairvoyant and had never made
any pretentions of being one. Had
never roomed next to her. She had
insisted on his wearing the ring. DIR.
RICE accompanied him on the trip
when he lost the stone from the ring.
Took DIR. Rice directly to Mrs John
ston's room and left him there; didn't
know how long he stayed there. The
envelope containing the mining
papers are now In the safe

the mine; also had 200 shares in "The
Texas" near Hot Springs. Paid S20(
for it; bought it of Fred Remington

at New York. Witness considered the
package worth about 81, 900. Had tolc
detectives that il was worth anywhere
from SOC, 900 to $500, 900; it made {
difference how badly the detectives
were ''stuffing him."
