Last One Caught,

Lake Mills, Iowa, Oct. ia young
man under arrest here on a charge OF
having oeen implicated in the double
murder and bank robbery at Sherburn
has made confession, acknowledging
that he was associated in the affair.
He says that the man killed while re-
sisting arrest near Elmore was his
brother. He will not reveal his true
name or the location of his home.
The confession was secured by his
captor, Marshal Ruby, this morning.
In it he declares that his brother
planned the robbery and killed the two
men in the Sherburn bank. After de-
failing the killing, he said he and his
brother were greatly alarmed lest they
be penned up in the bank, and both
agreed they must work rapidly. He
continues:
81 went to the money drawer and
took out the money. thought there
were about S70O in the bunch that 1
had. put it in sack that we had for
that purpose. And then we cut the
screen to the back window and left
town on our bicycles. Just as we
mounted / handed my brother the
money and he put it in his bicycle bag.
We separated about two and half or
three miles out of Sherburne.
My brother. being the best rider,
made south for the state line and took
southwesterly direction, until l got
south of Jackson, and then struck
out south along the Des Moines river to
Algona. Then 1 crossed the country
around about Britt and Forest City to
Lake Mills. l had pretty hard time
getting through.
after making the confession, the
marshal wanted the prisoner to tell his
right name, but he shook his head and
said: 81 do not wish to let my folks
to know anything about this sup
pose shall plead guilty under an as
sumed name.''
The name he first gave upon being
taken into custody was Jim McMullen.
He now says that it is fictitious.

We denounce tho administration OF President

as departure from those principles which are

been used to subsidize the press, to debauch

public. We repudiate the construction placed

Daniel as presiding officer. Ex-Gov.
Hogg, of Texas, then made a 20-min-
ute speech urging harmony and ar
raigning the republican party as be-
ing the tool of trusts and combines.
AT this point the chair announced
partial report of the committee on
credentials, recommending that each
Of the territories and the District of
Columbia be granted six votes. Second,
after careful comparison of the creden-
tials as returned by the national COM
mittee, they found all of them correct
except those from Nebraska and Mich
igan. In regard to Nebraska they rec
ommended that the delegates headed
by Hon. w. j. Bryan should be ad-
mitted to seats. In regard to Michi-
gan they asked for further time. They
seated the gold delegates from South
Dakota.
NEBRASKA GOLD MEN RETIRE.
Mr.. Mahoney, of Nebraska, rose in
the body of the hall and gracefully Of
fered to vacate the seats now occupied
by the sitting members for the benefit
of their successful contestants. The
motion to adopt the report was de-
clared carried by viva voce vote.
The gold delegation from Nebraska re-
tired and their successors took their
places. The Bryan men as they marched
in were loudly applauded.
The committee on credentials noti-
fed Chairman White that it would re-
quire at least three hours to digest the
mass of testimony relating to the Mich
igan case and prepare its report, and
recess until 5 o'clock was taken.
THE NIGHT SESSION.
The convention reassembled at $50
p. m. with full attendance of dele
gates and with crowded galleries. SEN
ator Daniel, of Virginia, was in the
chair. The committee on credentials
presented it's complete report, admit
ting TO seats the contesting delegates
from the Fourth congressional district
of Michigan, Messrs. Chamberlain and
Hart; also admitting the contesting
delegates from the Ninth congressional
district of Michigan, Messrs. Hoyt and
White, and recognizing the right to
their seats of all the other delegates
from Michigan.
Mr.. Crosby, of Massachusetts,, said
the minority felt that it should be
known that in their opinion the report
was a great injustice. He closed by
offering an amendment to retain the
four unseated members in their seats.
Mr.. Taylor, of Arkansas, member
of the committee on credentials, ar.
gued in favor of the majority report.
He said the question to decide was
whether delegates representing ma
jority of the democrats of Michigan
should be throttled in the convention.
A wrong had been committed by the
national committee in seating the gold
delegates.
The discussion was closed with two
more speeches-one by Mr.. Weadock
of Michigan, and the other by Mr.
O'Donnell, of Colorado. Little atten
tion was paid to these speeches, as tn.
crowd in the galleries was quite tur
bulent and could not be kept in order
The convention itself as well as the
spectators in the galleries were in {
hurry to come to vote and Mr.. o'Don
