was done between Columbus and Mansfield,
on the Pennsylvania railroad. Duffy shot
him four or five times, and we threw the
body off the train near Toledo Junction.
From there we went to Battle Creek, where
we held up some fellows coming from Ring
ling's circus one night, and then went to
Chicago and Down to Fort Wayne, where
we got into the trouble which landed me
here. 1t was in Fort Wayne that We shot
deputy Herd. There is one crime that 1
forgot to speak of. The time we were going
back from the East to the West Duffy and
Walworth and myself stopped in Kansas
City for a week. We went over to Wyan-
dotte to a Dance, and. coming back to the
city about midnight, we crossed the Sixth
street bridge. About half way over we met
a man, and Billy Walworth asked him for a
match. While he was getting the match.
Duffy hit him in the head. We robbed him
and took his watch m money. A police
man saw the deed. and came up and talked
with us about 1t, and we said II he would
keep quiet we would make it all right with
him, so we gave him the watch. This police
man was sent to the penitentiary afterward
for killing another officer. L went to the
penitentiary at Lansing, Kan, to see him.
His wife was wearing that watch around.
