Hsney Has coafsssed.

A dispatch from Carson Gays that

Aene!, The scontioed bulhon thief
has told overriding 10 &nows ahurt
the mint skortsge. While the gov.
eminent ohlGials. and attorneys de-
cline totalk on the subject it il .ststed
positively that Heney made a full
confession in'thS presence of witness:
g and the igcwethmSnt officias have
It in black and white. This docu-
msnt contaihs tonae very startling
accusations in connection with the
Mint cases and involves bigger game
than J0nes. It is Doubts, ihows III,
that the government will put Heney
on the stand, as its counsel feels non.
,fdent Of winning the case without his
testimony.
Heney's vito has been instrumental
in inducing her husband to talk. She
realized that he had been sold ont
and sacrificed in the interest of his
accomplices, and openly threatened
to tell everything she knew if her
husband did not talk. It
Inspector Mason gave the first hint
OF the coming storm by saying Wed.
mes lay that Jones had confederate
In the Mint. He had learned this by
conversation with Heney in the
PRISON. Woodburn, counsel for the
defense attempted to draw out more
from thus iDtimation. out Clark, for
the government, arose and warned
him that if he called for information
ne would get all OF it, and no more
questions we're asked.
1t has developed that six additional
bogus 'nelts we're made in the cupel
room, and it is supposed that Heney
gave the government the tip how to
secure the evidence. Mason had
already found the alterations in the
books, and the new evidence tends to
show that suspect Jones used the
same melts to serve a double purpose
and they were worked in twice in the
books. Mason declines to say who
the confederate of Heney wac, but
says he has not previously been even
suspected. Silver State.

Dog Eating In Mexico.

The dog meat business continues. de-
spite the stern examples that have been
made of its vendors. A policeman seized
man named Genaro Perez, passing
through the alley of Los Gachupines,
who bore suspicious looking bag,
which, on examination, disclosed the
skinned carcass of large dog with the
lower part of the legs cut off so as to pre-
vent the easy recognition of its species.
NJ. Perez was taken to the police station
10 the third Demarcacion to be examined
as to the antecedents of his dog meat,
which, it is shrewdly suspected, was des-
tined to be made into savory dishes
sold at the puestos under the arcades.
We are getting fast to be like Canton
and other big Chinese towns, where dog
is sold without shame and partaken of
with gusto. Mexican Herald.
