BRADY'S ALLEGED CONFESSION

Neither Detective Thacker or Sheriff
johnson Know Anything of 1t.
Statements have been made to the effect
that Brady, the train robber. had made
confession that he had participated in
the train robbery near Davisyille, Yolo
County, last October.
1t was rumored on Monday night that
Brady had made a confession after his
removal TO the Marysville jail. Inquiry
from this office developed the fact that no
such confession was made at Marysville.
\ Yesterday there were rumorS about the
city, and the statement was published
with considerable circumstantiality, that
the confession had been made by him
that he took part in the robbery and as
sisted in spending part of the money.
y RECORD UNION reporter interview ed
District Attorney Ryan on the subject
aud was told that in the inquisition to
which Brady was several times subjected
here he not only made no confession, but
steadily persisted that he had nothing to
do with any Of the train roDberies.
Sheriff Johnson stated that at no time
when Brady made statements in his
presence did he make any confession of
completely in the robbery, but always
denied having anything to do with it. So
also at MarysYllle, whittier Sheriff john
son accompanied Sheriff Inflow when
Brady was taken there, he still denied
being concerned in the robbery.
Detective Thaoke or OF Wells Fargo states
positively that if Brady made any con-
tession of the sort he is totally ignorant
OF it, although he questioned him closely
and interviewed him several times in
company with Detective Gard aud the
Sheriff.
And will bet $lO0 to s. that he made
no such confession," said be. "Of course.
| cannot say that he did not make such
confession to someone, for he may pos
sibly have done so, but don't believe he
did. AT all events. have no knowledge
Of his making any such confession, and
he certainly never did in my hearing.
OF course, if he had 1 should have con-
sidered it my duty not to give it to the
newspapers, but he never said anything
in my presence, except to say that
Browning had told him the money was
buried over beyond Washington"

YOLO'S ASSEMBLYMAN STILL LIVES.
The Gay Harry Laugenour Now in
Chicago.
a Sacramento Girl Eloped With Him,
But Gave Him the Shake
at Ogden.

It has been discovered that Harry W.
Laugenour. Y olo County's dashing young
Assem- blyman. who disappeared SO mys-
teriously week or so ago. was not a VIC
tim of foul play, as had been feared by
his faithful wife and relatives of Wood
land. 1t were better he had been.
The gay young statesman is said to be
in Chicago and we'll fixed financially.
The $4,000 note that his mother recently
Endorsed for him, with the understanding
that he was to pay off certain pressing liza
bilities, was not used for that purpose.
He cashed the note in San Francisco and
took the money East with him.
Laugenour did not go alone-at least not
all the way. The night he left the State
he was accompanied from this city by
young woman named Nellie Hart. She
went only to ogden, however. where she
shook the y oio statesman and returned,
going first TO San Francisco to carry out
the idea that she had been in that city all
the time on a visit These facts were
learned by railroad trainmen from the
girl herself on her return trip from Og-
den. as she told them all about her esca-
pade with Harry"
Laugenour left a loving and faithful wife
ana mother at W OOdlanu, VINO are
broken-hearted over the disgrace that he
has brought upon himself by his conduct,
and whom no has weil-nigh bankrupted
by his extravaganza and riotous mode OF
living.
He was very prominent figure in the
last Leg islature, and up to the time he
entered that body is said to have borne
good reputation and had the prospect be-
fore him Of useful and prosper US lie
But, like many other young men who
have been ongulphed in the same polti-
cal vortex, he soon lost his head and fell
from grace and became Spendthrift, the
companion of high-rollers, and patron
of dlssOlute women.
The eud was inevitable, though it came
to him more quickly than it usually does
to those who set the pace that leads to ruin.
lie lived at such rate that neither his
own nor his generous mothers purse
could stand the drain, and now he turns
up fugitive and eloper and squanderer
OF money that his mother had borrowed
to enable him 10 honestly discharge some
Of his debts. His home is ruined, and his
abandoned wife and relatives are suffer-
ing the modification that his misdeeds
have brought upon them.

WALL PAPER AGAIN.
A Pennsylvania Firm Would Like to
Establish Itself Here.

a Pennsylvania Firm Would Like to
Establish Itself Here.
On the 18th instant the RECORD UNION
published a letter from Alexander Ora
ham of New Brunswick, n. j., whose at
tention had been attracted by an article
in this paper suggesting the establish
ment of wall paper factory here, in
which the writer said:
IF you would care for me to send you
an estimate OF what it would cost to start
a tirst-class wall paper plant l will be
pleased to do so. There are over twenty
five factories between Boston and Phila-
delphia, and they are all making large
profits"
The letter was turned over to the Off
GERS of the Industrial Improvement Asso-
citation and is doubtless receiving their
attention. Evidently the RECORD
UNIONS article has been read by many
Fasteners, for yesterday the following
letter was received from firm in Penu-
sylvania on the same subject:
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, July %. 1895.
EDS. RECORD UNION: We noticed an
article copied from your paper in refer
ence TO establishing wall paper factory
in California. We have often thought OF
that and have no doubt it would pay. If
you desire to encourage a thing or en-
terprise of this sort, please state III your
paper that d manufacturer East, who has
had all of fifteen years experience, and
now has plant for the printing of said
paper, might consider the subject of
moving there if capital, etc., were offered.
Something may result from it.
Wood pulp aud raw material are all
found III abundance in Calliornis. and the
saving of freight alone would be fort
une for a concern in few years. We
sell lots OF paper to your people and they
pay the freight on it.
Work it up. if you desire, and oblige
yours truly,

HODSON'S ANSWER.
He Says That Varney Did Not Conduct
the Gallery AS He Did.

He Says That Varney Did Not Conduct
the Gallery as He Did.
Some time ago n. Dingley brought suit
in the Superior Court against J. r. Hold
son, ii. ID. Willard, Augustus X. Farney,
John Doe and Richard Roe to foreclose
mortgage which Hodson bad given on
fIty-tive acres OF land on the Jackson
road as security for loan of $1,000. The
other defendants claimed an interest in
the place.
Varney filed a cross-oomp plant, alleg-
ing that Hodson had given him mort
gage on the place as security for a con-
tract under which he bought Hodson's
photograph gallery.
Hodson yesterday filed an answer in
which he alleges that he agreed that if
Narney did not make $1,000 profit the
first year from the gallery. he would
make UP the difference between that sum
and what the profits were, providing that
Varney conducted the gallery as ne had
done.
Varney, however, he alleges, did not
so run II. and therefore had no reason to
claim balance off 800 or any other sum
as due him from Hodson. HOdson al
leges that when he was conducting the
gallery, he built up large business by
taking with a mammoth lens, con-
structed Tor him IN London, large direct
photographs of well-knOwn people in the
State and keeping them framed and OH
exhibition at his gallery. That thus his
name became known all over the state
and increased the business so that the
good will of the gallery became very
valuable. That he frequently renewed
the pictures, to make an attractive dis
play. He also was in the habit of adver-
Using largely.
That Varney did not employ any one
who had experience in making mann
moth direct pictures, and had no expert
ence in making them himself. That he
had no mammoth lens. and did not keep
up the exhibition OF such pictures nor
did he advertise as Hodson had. That he
was unknown as photographer, and
changed the name of the gallery from
Hodson's to Farney's, and that had he
conducted the business in the way Hold
son did, the profits would have much ex-
ceeded $4,000. He therefore prays that
Varnsy take nothing by his cross-eom-
plant, and he convey TO him (Hodson)
the lands and promises described in the
complaint, and that, in case of his failure
to 90 SO, receiver be appointed.

TWO YEARS In FOLSOM

That is What Bittner Gets for His At
tempt at Arson.
George Bittner appeared In Judge Cat
Inns court yesterday for sentence for
arson in trying to burn the Eureka
Restaurant.
Which asked what reason he had TO give
why sentence should not be passed, he
addressed the court, protesting sorrow
for his crime and for the disgrace brought
on his family. He pleaded his previous
good character and asked the court to be
lenient.
Judge Catin said be had arrival at
years OF discretion and must have known
better than TO commit so serious q crime.
DE was fortunate in not having sue
ceeded, although persistent in his at
tempt. The extreme penalty for his
otlense was five years imprisonment, but
varions circumstances induced him to be
lenlent and he would only sentence him
to Folsom for two years If he behaved
himself his credits would free him in one
and half years and give him chance
to lead a better life.

IKE SMITH MUST STAND 4 TRIAL.
His Gauzy Story Of the Levey-AxeIrod
Robbery
He Says He Merely Collected Pay
for His Services as an
L-Street Guide.

Ike Smith was held to answer by JUS
tice Davis yesterday for robbing Charles
Levey of fifty cents, by threatening to
kill him if he did not produce the money.
LeYey and B. AXelrod, who was with
the former when the alleged robbery oc-
Cured, testified that on last Sunday
afternoon they requested Smith to point
out to them a drayman, as they wanted
their baggage transferred. Smith took
them down on lower l. street, and from
there went with them as far as Sixth and
L streets, where he drew large-sized
pocket nife, and threatened to kill them
if they did not give him some money.
Under the pressure Levey gave him so
cents and Axelrod gave him 10 cents
One of them a4terward pointed Smith out
to officer LOgue, who arrested him.
Smith, in his own behalf, testified that
Levey and Axelrod met him in front of
the Lafayette saloon on * street and
asked him to show them where the frail
women of the community were located
They said they would make il all right
with him. When they reached Sixth
and L streets he reminded them of their
promise to pay him Tor acting as guide to
The dive quarter.
One of them gave him cents, but he
was not satisfied with that, and said they
should give him larger sum. Witness
said that at the time he was cutting his
finger-nails with his knife, and did not
have it out for the purpose of intimidat-
ing Levey ana AXelrod. Levey gave
him 30 cents. He denied having threat
ened to kill them.
Justice Davis said the affair was
one of the most audacious attempts
at robbery he had ever heard of, ow-
ing to the fact that it occurred on
public thoroughiare and III broad day
light. The testimony of Levey and Axel-
rod said Justice Davis, was consistent,
and was partly corroborated by the testi-
mony OF the defendant himself
Smiths bail was fixed at $1,000.

that Wharton asked her to sign the deed
to keep Woosley from getting the prop
erty on his notes. He told her if she
signed the deed the property would all go
to her, and then he turned her out of the
house and put another woman in.
X. I. Cohn testified that Wharton came
10 him on the evening before the deeds
were recorded and asked him to go back
to the office and record the deeds. Cohn
refused to go back to the Office and told
Wharton to come in the morning at 8
o'clock. He asked if Cohn could not
come at O'Clock, and the latter told him
no. Later in the day Mrs. Wharton ap-
peared for the purpose of filing home

been covered by mining locations, but
three more have been filed for record in

These new miners are D. II. Clippinger,
who appropriates one hundred acres in
the bed Of the river; Thomas II. Berkey,
who IS more modest, claims only sixty
acres, but =. r. Sims thinks that eighty
acres is about the size OF the claim he

There may be a few acres more that
