San Francisco. Feb. 5-The murderer
Frank Butler today took Constable Con-
roy of Sydney into his confidence and
told him moro of the details of Captain
Wellers murder than has been told to
anyone else. He told Conroy that at
least two men besides himself had inti
mate knowledge of Weller and that he
would cause their arrest after arriving
in Sydney
He told him that the real murderers of
captain Weller had prevailed upon him
TO accept the effects of the dead man.
He says the murderers, whom he had as
ms companions, forced him to take We'll
Ter S Vaiise and its contents. and he. never
dreaming that anything would ever come
OF the case. consented.
he very earnestly begged the aid of the
Australian officer to clear up the case
as he was sure that by telling the truth
and having his accomplices arrested he
would escape the gallows by becoming a
queens witness.
The murderer is cOncealing much that
he will probably give out in a day or
two, as he is weakening under the strain
The police can see Il great change in
him and they think that before he is
taken back to the colonies he will tell
the whole story.
The plan of the police is to allow
Butler to say as much as he will in
the hope that he will further incriminata
himself.

Captain Evans hove her to and lashed the

reach port and then several months were
spent at the navy yard in trying to rem
