THE FLIGHT rgoM MIXER
There we're several men around, but
before they could move or the sound of the
gun had died away Hamilton was making
for the brush. | stood still for about two
minutes and then made after him as last
as could. After going sixty feet into the
brush | came upon q wood road. which /
followed until came 70 the railroad track.
Ii was after dark then and had not gone
far mp the track When I heard some one
behind me. I listened and I heard Hamil-
tons voice.
= Is that you p he said.
Yes. it's me- ! replied. and he came
up 10 me. He was walking slong with his
hands IN his trousers pockets as cool and
Calm as II nothing had happened.
. Did kill t.at fellow p he said.
Yes replied; you put it through
his heart
That's what shot for be said.
He gave the matter no more attention
aud we walked along until two guards
we're seen abort distance ahead of US.
Hamilton stopped, thought moment.
and was afraid he was going to do them
up. Finally he concluded TO take to the
brush and told me TO meet him al Palmer.
He disappeared and walked right mp TO
the guards. who asked me my
me go. You bet I went id
quick, too. | got past the next
two guards without any trouble and
made my way to South Prairie, where /
was arrested. l did not know anything
about the work Hamilton was doing here
until yesterday. but | know that he is a
desperate man and can hit the bulls eve
every time. He always shoots for the
heart and i guess prides himself on it."
Did he ever say anything 70 you about
train robberies ?"
ExPEKTs AT TRAIN ROBBERY.
No. but | guess be and his pal are up
to that business together with strong
arm work. Hamilton had a fine, false
long beard when 1 saw him last and was
having another made in Tacoma. He also
had thing that went over his shoulders
and came down in front to his waist Ii
was a sort of carpenters apron, but train
robbers use the same thing for passengers
10 drop their valuables into. / don't
think either of INV friends did any
work in this section, but | know
they were hard men. and believe Hamii-
ton was the miider of the two. OF course
was In bad company, but l have been
going wrong ever since was sent to the
reform school. If they had done any
bolding-up would have probably been in
with them. They were good to me, and
know would have fought for me. am
sorry for Hamilton, but don't see as il
will do him any good now. lie might as
well be dead as alive. He is pretty we'll
educated. and understands phrenology
from beginning to end. lie is also an I'M
fidei and always said he did not think IL
made much difference whether q man was
alive or dead. don't believe, however,
that he viii hang. He had rather be shot
down while attempting 10 escape"
THE MURDERER TLKADs GUILTY.
The latter prophecy of young McMurray
Ia at variance with Blanck or Hamil,on's
actions yesterday. He was taken into
Judge Humes' court at o'clock in the
morning by Sheriff Woolery. who walked
with his hand on his gun To prevent any
sudden break. BIanck took the course of
events without displaying any emotion or
interest. lie pleaded guilty, and when
asked by the judge If he realized what he
was doing replied that he did SO of his
own free will and volition His trial was
SET for October l6. After he was taken be-
low the Tacoma people saw him and iden-
tilted him. He would not admit that he
was the murderer of Jeffrey. however. ana
still persists In evading that point.
lie talked freely with Posr-IxrErIt-
sESCKR reporter in the afternoon and
reiterated his desire TO die, either by the
rope or bullet, il did not make any differ
enee which, provided the Job was done
quickly.
