Err LArIMER's CONFESSION


to Drug Him.
JACKSON, Mich, March o. Latimer
was this afternoon placed in the solitary
cell, where he will undoubtedly remain
for some time. As he entered SOLITARY"
his wonderful nerve, which has stood by
him ever since the murder. completely de-
serted him and he broke down and cried
like child.
JACKSON, Mich, March Or. Irving
Latimer, the triple murderer who was
caught last night at Jerome, was brought
here again and lodged in the penitentiary
at 2:15 O'Clock this morning. During the
lang ride from Jerome, he told the story
of his escape. He said ne had been at
work on the plan over q year and had
made an exhaustive study of the effects of
poisons. He declared he had no intention
of killing Haight and gave Gill the same
dose he did Haight. He said he would
rather have rotted in prison than have
killed Haight. The dose he gave them
was . mixture Of opium and prussic acid.
The intended effect was for the opium to
cause sleep and the prussic acid to make
1t take effect at once. He administered it
in q glass of lemonade. There was
certainly mistake somewhere, as he had
no intention of doing anything more than
make them sleep half an hour. Tho
rafting of the dish when Haight fell dis
couraged all his plans as it brought Rice
to the scene. and but for that he would
have been able to leave the prison, drive
rapidly away In a buggy and before
successful pursuit could have been organ
lied, he would have been 200 miles away.
He declared that Gill was not to blame in
any way, except for carelessness. Latimer
told the story Of his wanderings after his
escape and said he might have escaped
any way, but he sprained his ankle, which
handicapped his movements and settled
all chance of his getting away.

THE ROAD ACROSS THE CAsCADEs.


WnotCOm county People Laugh ot Rf0p.
osition to Use = skagit Pass.
WHArcoM. March 29.-[Special. Tho
news published in the Posr.INrELLrGENcER
Monday of the appointment of a commit
tee by the people OF the Upper Skagit val
ley to visit Whatcom and protest before
the Cascade road commission against the
route designated by law for the construc-
tion Of a state highway across the noun
tains to Okanogan county, occasioned
some surprise here, not unmlxed with in
dignation. If he people of the Upper
Skagit are really taking themselves seri-
ously in this matter, they must be either
wonderfully cheeky or simple-minded to
believe for q minute that it is possible to
induce the road commissioners to ignore
the express provision of the law, which
designates the route and locates the road
over the Cascade pass. Tho late Tilton
Sheets, to whom reference is made in tho
article in question. was never employed by
the people of this county to hunt for q
route across the range, but he did make
some surveys for the Northern Pacific and
also made trip for q local company here.
About tho time of his death, which oc-
Cured about . year ago at Friday Harbor,
an article concerning him was published,
in which the statement was made that he
regarded the Mount Baker pass as the best
between the Columbia and Fraser rivers.
Certainly it is not "a we'll known fact"
that the route proposed is in the least de-
gree impracticable, or that it would be
nothing more than a summer trail"
Commissioners Cryderman and Hanne-
gan are both familiar in q general way
with . considerable portion of the two
routes under discussion, and both are of
the opinion that the northern one is much
preferable to the other. taking into consid-
Grafton the objects sought to be obtained.
As Mr.. Cryderman is civil engineer by
profession. and Mr.. Hannegan is An expe-
rienced woodsman and timber cruiser,
their opinions are entitled to moro than
ordinary consideration. 1t was largely
upon the advice and through the influence
of Mr.. Hannegan that the route was out
lined as it was in the bill

RATHpRUM. Idaho. March 3.-William
Shaefer, of Eight Mile Prairie, was in.
stantly killed last evening. 1t was be-
Iieved that his death was the result Of an
accident, but the coroner's inquest now in
progress has developed facts which lead to
the suspicion that a crime has been COM
mitted. Shaefer was returning home from
Rathdrum and met Jack Lyle and his
brother. Lyle came to the city and re-
ported that in a scuffle for possession Of .
gun the weapon was discharged and
Shae!er killed.

PoRT TowxsEHD. March 20-f6pecial.E
A serious muddle has arisen in the city
treasurer's Office. Recently City Treas
urer Bowen obtained permission from
Mayor Tucker to go East He appointed
q deputy and departed. Since then muni-
cipal warrants to the amount Of over
1000 have been issued. The deputy
treasurer Endorsed the Vsrrants 20
that they would draw the legal
rate Of interest It now transpires that
there 10 no authority either in the charter
or ordinances for tho appointment Of .
treasurer's deputy. Consequently the in-
dorsements on the warrants are illegal,
and they will bear no interest until prop.
erly Endorsed by the treasurer himself.
the question will be passed upon by City
Attorney ID. G. Smith and some action
will be taken next week.
