Carey's friend. Joe Tulip. Carey's klootch-

Carey is an Englishman who has been
living in a floating hut anchored in
bend OF the south bank Of the Duwamish
river near Ranke's brickyard. and about
a mile from where the river empties INTO
the Sound. A Frenchman named Joe Tu-
lip, with klootchman wife, and son, lived
next to him. their two floating houses be-
ing tied together.
on Christmas Carey and his klootchman
came TO Seattle in their fishing boat, and
while here both drank freely. The klootch-
man was not seen alive by any one after
they returned 10 their ca bin late on Christ
mas night.
He Reveals His Crime.
Carey, instead of going TO his own home.
stayed with Joe Tulips family all that
night and on the next day, Tulip says,
showed such antipathy TO going near his
shack that he would not even pull In his
fishing nets. but induced his friend Joe
TO do IL.
Late on Friday afternoon. December q,
Tulip says his suspicious that something
was wrong were confirmed in startling
manner, when Carey requested him 10
help take his woman out into the bay and
sink her in deep water. AT the same
time. pointing TO a rail on the end of his
raft. around which rope was tied. he
said she was tied TO the other end OF the
rope Tulip. who was afraid OF the man.
says he refused 10 help him, and pretended
TO go OUT fishing. Instead of doing so,
however. ne made his way TO the town
of Duwamish. and about 10 o'clock aroused
Constable Cotton. The latter. accompa-
MED by his brother. J. +. Cotton. and Tu-
lip. went TO the latter's shack.
When they arrived there about midnight.
Carey was found in bed, and on being ar
rested. asked Cotton the reason.
You know as well as l do" was the
answer. Carey then said:
II did not murder her" though nothing
was said about the woman or her death
The constable. with the aid of the other
two. then took him through the woods
TO Duwamlsh and. securing a team, drove
10 the county jail, where they arrived at
O'Clock yesterday morning on the way
Carey called Tulip all the vile names
Imaginable. and said If he had murdered
him instead OF the "old woman" he
"wouldn't care a - II he did hang" This
was repeated a number of times. being
supplemented by the remark that If the
constable would take off the handouts
he would tear Tulips heart out.
What the Coroner Found.
Coroner Askam was notified at o'clock
this morning. and together with Deputy
Sheriff McCorry drove 10 the SCENE. They
found the rail as It had been described
by Tulip and were Obliged to send Tulips
