 'Ihe ilrst murder I committed was Tn San Francisco in the latter part of lS95' l was playing with a Chinese for small stakes and the Celestial was cheating me. I jumped up and told him that I had found him out, and he came at me with a knife. I pulled the heavy chair from under me, but I could not get good swing to strike him, so l poked the leg at him and struck 1 him in the face
 !

I was a | little pressed for money, and the girl had saved $500 I had her pat, but I | could not get the cash except by pre- i tending I had an Investment for her | that was a money ey-mal1er She turned over the money, and I took her out riding, shot her and buried the body. She was not very well known and was never missed. [ never heard of that matter from that day to this.

 ''T was introduced to Kate Cling in January 1891. That was a time when I had been suffering very heavy losses. It was about April before I was real well acquainted with her, and then ] set out to get her money. I secured about S500O from her. That was right about my playing the bank with her for partner in that Chicago business. l did not lose the money there and did not intend to- I never took any notes no" gave any up to the time when we fixed up the last scheme. I hypnotlzed her and played her right.
 She was a good business woman, but she was not highly educated, and yet wanted to pretend that she un- derstood things readily In that way l could work on her only through mys- tery. Morally with Kate Cling there was absolutely nothing wrong. l say honestly that while I talked pretty plain to her.
 q played the noble racket with her and said that, even though I was a wild devil, I would not do her wrong for the world. I was playing hel for other purposes you see"
