dicted TO the use Of morphine.
At 2o'cIock this morning the condition
Of the patient vas much changed for the
worse and tho watchers ct the bedside
realized that the end Was not far OF.
After Frank Minsch had bssn taken TO
police headquarters he was searched and
then locked mp In the steel tank. On his
person Was found the 3s-calibsr revolver
with which he did the shooting and other
things Of no special interest. He appeared
to DO somewhat under the influence Of H.
quor and did not seem to have full ap-
probation Of what he had done. Chief
Rogers had short talk with himeirst
giving him to understand that no should
use his own discretion about making re-
plies that might affect his case. Minsch,
however, said that he did the shooting,
but the chief declined 10 repeat anything
else he said.
A PosT-lEfEiLieEScER reporter was a.
lowed TO interview tho prisoner in his cell,
but the result simply confirmed the report
that he had nothing to say relative to his
case

Then he fell back in his hammock and
commenced breathing very LOUD. There
was no doubt that he had been drinking.
