please send a reporter up to the
sail; 1 want to tell all about the Nc
Ginty robbery is what VIM. Brison
wrote the Eagle yesterday.
A reporter called at the county jail
and Brison was brought out into the
office and given a chance to talk
Il have read Hupp's interview" he
said, and there We're some things in
1T not true, and / thought would just
tell you the straight of it.
"Hupp gave you that story in order
to clear his own skirts. His statement
that he did not know where we were
going at the time we left town is un-
true. for we had talked of il for more
than a week
I'VE were all sober when we started
out and We met Officer Charles Burrows
just across the river coming In with a
prisoner from the country / did not
know him but some of the boys said it
was Burrows.
the old mans affairs than any of us,
and he claimed that he had bought
wheat of him.
Il had been running a chifi joint and
just got out OF business that day |
sold out and had all the money there
was in the crowd, and we had several
talks in my room and in Hupp's room
TOO
''Hupp and Ward said the old man
had just got $500 from the Missouri
Pacific railroad and that he was Of a.
misery turn and would be likely to
keep money In his home, and that he
was harmeleSs man and would not be
hard to rob.
''Hupp said he had only taken ten dol
n II r-f.- e IL
money and know two places where, he
spent money. One place was on Fourth
avenue. After the robbery and after
suspicion had begun to point to us. we
met Sheriff ROyse one night in bust
ness house on Douglas avenue and
ROy7se told Hupp: L have a notion to
take you along with rne for safe keep
ing 1t scared Hupp and he went out
3n the alley and hid his money. He
mad 1t all with him at that time.
Now about the robbery. When we
went out there and Old Man McGingty
opened the door Ward instantly fired
two shots in quick succession All the
rest of US were surprised as Ward and
Hupp had said there would be no need
OF hurting the old man.
The people who think Old Man Nc
Ginty is a. coward do not know him.
He was the coolest man ] ever saw,
even after ne WAS shot, and deliberat ely
Informed us that we did not need to Kill
him.
From the very time the shots were
fired MrGinty made all the delay pos
Sible. and j think he was trying to
identify US. / wonder that he did not
identify Ward for he pulled off his mask
after the lamp had been lighted and
threw it across the room TO put over
McGinty'S face.
''Hupp told you that he was not in the
no
There Is no truth in that, because he
held a revolver TO the aid mans head
and told him that he would shoot him
If he moved
McGinty at that time made a move
ment as if trying to get something from
his CLOTHES / caught hold of his wrist
and held up his hand and found that
his arm was covered with blood We
also found out THAI the old man wore a
truss and it had slipped down and the
movement he made was to put II in
place.
when we divided the money. we had
$i02 apiece, and that is what Hupp got
My money was all i'm gold. and l went
10 John Bartell to get it changed as /
thought the gold would cause suspicion.
j think Bartell gave Bedford Wood the
tipp, because when he went out Bedford
came in at one door while Bartell came
In at the other.
You stated IN the Eagle that the Of
flcers got $40 from me when they ar
rested me. They got exactly 1892 %.
All this talk about our blowing in so
much money is a mistake. You take
your pencil and figure it up, and I will
tell you exactly how much of the money
they recovered.
Now put down 1892 % for myself:
$3.50 for Burke; S1S5 for Ward. and $3.50
for Hupp. Now how much does that
make-S707.25. Well that is just what
they got. l gave SO of my money to
Brown. the hot tamala man, to keep
him still. He knew we had been talking
about the job. That is all / want TO
tell now. I do not want TO give any
body the worst of il "
