His strength Of will has lowered by the
simple truth Of death, not those he had
caused, but the death of his partner,
who was no other than his brother, al

The prisoner sat still, with his head be-

Finally he looked up and said in low
tones: 81 might as well make a clean
breast Of it all. The fellow that was
killed was my brother. We robbed the
bank at Sherburne, but am not guilty
of killing either Of the men. 1t was
agreed that we were not to shoot. My
brother came to Our house where I was
staying with my parents, and asked me
to help him rob the bank. I finally
consented, and went there several
days before, remaining in the neighbor-
hood. We fixed up Wednesday as the
day, and about O'Clock in the morning
we rode towards the town and re-
mained on the outside streets some
time, and when the coast was clear

there are occasions when a political platform
means disaster to the country, when politics
are closely connected with morals or re

man must be the patriot, without allowing a

economic questions which concern the wef-
fare of mankind may well engage the atten-
ton of those who are charged with the care
of souls. Rejecting the broad basis of inter
national agreement which the Irish prelate
has made his plea for bimetallism, a portion
OF oEr countrymen have perverted his argu-
ments to the support of policy which looks
to the debasement of our currency the re-
pudiation of our obligations and the monetary
isolation of our country from the commercial
world. Using the name of a great political
party Of whose organization they have OBJ
tanned control. they have put forth a platform
which embodies the following declarations:
eve demand the free and unlimited coinage
of both silver and gold at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation. We demand
that the standard silver dollar shall be a.
fulH legal tender, equally with gold for all
debts. public and private. and we favor such
legislation as will prevent for the future the
demonetization of any kind OF legal tender
money by private contract.

of surrendering to the holders of the obIiga-
tions of the United States the option reserved

The prisoner uses the term the other
fellow while In other places he calls
him his brother. Marshal Ruby said
that he used these expressions about
as they appear above. He refuses to
make any further statements and re-
fuses to give his correct name, as he
does not want his folks TO know any
thing about it.
Early in the day the prisoner had
made statements repeatedly contradict
Ing himself, first giving his name as
McMullen and claiming to reside at
Sioux City, To-, but upon request to
wire to his friends at that point for
assistance, he came out point blank
stating he had lied as to the place of
his residence, and refused to give any
further information. About 2:30 %. M
Mr.. Ballard, of Fairmont, Mimi, ac-
companied by two other men from
Minnesota, arrived for the purpose Of
Identifying the captured man. Mr.. Bal
lard had been in the bank not over
three minutes before the murder; and
was one Of the first to get a glimpse
of the men as they left on their wheels.
No doubt but that McMullen had made
good inspection of Mr.. Ballard, for
when McMullen was confronted by Mr.
Ballard this afternoon for the purpose
or Identification his fingers moved and
his face flushed for the first time since
his capture, and he acted as if he was
getting into an uncomfortable position.
Excitement runs high in every manner
about the town and the officers are
guarding their prisoner with great pre-
caution. Mr.. Ballard and others are
positive that he is the right man. The
man McMullen, with many aliases, has
consented to go to Minnesota without
requisition papers, In charge Of Mar
shall A. F. Ruby, and the three men

SHERBURNE, Mimi, Oct. 11.-Today

as well as one affording an oppor-

rounding towns to look at the scene
OF Wednesdays robbery and the body
OF the dead robber. Several hundred
from adjoining counties came In dur

the bank where the tragedy occurred.

to the depot. whence the remains win
be shipped tomorrow to Montreal AT
the church there were impressive SER
vices, Rev. c. E. Walker and a male

spoke feelingly, being intimately ac-
quainted with the dead man. There
has been a good deal Of speculation
here today concerning the man under
arrest at Lake Mills, To-, but nothing
can be learned locally. 1t is now sup
posed that the name of the dead rob-

DEPARTED FROM DEMOCRACY.
No Free Silver Ever Advocated by
Early Leaders OF the Purity.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-John r.
Proctor, Of Kentucky, chairman Of the
United States civil service commission,
has made public an article reviewing
the history of the Democratic party's
position on the question of the gold
standard. Mr.. Proctor says he has
been at some pains to collect authentic
information regarding the coinage laws
of the past, which satisfies him. that
the trainers of the constitution and the
founders OF the government were unit
cd and determined that the coined
value of our gold and silver money
should correspond with the market
value Of the bullion contained. This.
Mr.. Proctor says, is demonstra ted by
the writings of Jefferson, Monroe and
Hamilton. Mr.. Proctor quotes many
high Democratic authorities in support
Of his position, and concludes by say
ing that many others might be cited
to show that the free silver plank in
the Chicago platform is violation Of
Democratic principles and that no man
advocating fiat money has a right to
call himself a Democrat

is the guilty party. This evening, with
head lowered in shame and disgrace,

crimes ever committed. A confession

is that Of patriot in d national crisis,
The archbishop warmly opposes the
ticket placed in nomination at Chicago
and vigorously attacks the platform
upon which it stands. OF paramount
importance he makes the plank attack
ing the supreme court Of the United
States and the power Of the president
to send troops in defense of national
property in the various states of the
union. He sees in the shibboleths of
the platform dangerous ear-marks of
socialism and warns adherents of the
Bryan cause that "they are lighting
torches which, borne In the hands of
reckless men, may light up in the coun-
