the Officer.
Napa Register, January Goth.

the Officer.
Napa Register, January 10th.
Carl Schmidt continues to give the officers
points about the Greenwood tragedy which
have not before been unearthed, thus tight
ening the chains Of evidence around him
self.
Tuesday,, in company with Constable Sc
cord, Paul Chaigneau and g. w. Hill. Sheriff
Mckenzie took Schmidt to the spot where
he said his companion in the crime had hid
den a bundle. He led the officers to a
bridge about q mile this side of Cordeia. on
the railroad. Under this bridge, Schmidt
said his partner" had taken bundle to
hide it. The officers. however. could tiud
no bundle, but the bank had cayed since
the date Of the murder and the structure
had been retimbeTed.
Schmidt was then taken to the Green
wood residence. Here he showed himself
TO be perfectly familiar with the dwelling,
and told the officers the most minute details
in regard 10 the terrible crime. He pointed
cut the rocking-chair in which Captain
GreeuwO0 was seated, and showed how it
had been placed for him. He led the officers
into the room where Mrs. Greenwood met
her death, and showed where the bed Since
removed stood The bureau, which had
been overhauled and the contents Of the
drawers dumped upon the floor, was pointed
out.
Those couversant with the details Of the
sickenng murder will remember that Cap
tain Greenwood said that lie was shot twice
at the time of the second visit Of the villains
to the house. He was then taken 10y the
feet and dragged into the hallway, where he
was shot again one Cf the men being about
two-thirds OF the way up the stairs when
the last shot was fired. Without inquiry on
the part of his attendants Schmidt said that
he obeyed the command Of his companion
and dragged Captain Greenwood as related
above He also showed the officers where
he stood on the stairs when his leader fired
the last shot. Schmidt showed the exact
spot where Captain Greenwood's head lay
In the hall and on lifting the rug that COW
cred tine carpet there was the blood stain,
that showed that he (Schm dU had told the
truth.
Schmidt says that he never knew until he
was arrested in Denver that Captain
Greenwood was alive, having supposed that
the poison and bullets had done their
deadly work. lie also says that if be had
known that Mr.. Greenwood was alive he
would nave confessed before, as ne is conf
dent Mr.. GreenwoOd's evidence Will sub
stantiate his own.
Schmidt impTesses those with whom he
talks that he Is telling The truth. and al
ready many are expressing belief in his
story that he was forced into assisting in
the murder. Schmidt himself believes that
he will promptly be set free at the trial.
