he was taken temporarily from Riley,
Warner broke down and admitted his
identity. At first he expressed a willing
ness to go on TO New York without re-
QUESTION papers, but when he crossed the
Missouri line this morning he changed his
mind, and declined to go further without
being forced TO. Warmers makeup as a
farmland was an excellent one.
He was dressed in q suit Of jeans, with
a yellow canvas jumper and a chick
wOolen cap. His face is covered with a
thick growth of red beard. In spite of
his disguise, however, certain lines Of re-
fnement In his face betrayed him as a
man of education and led to his arrest.
When questioned by a reporter, after his
arrival in Kansas City, Warner said:
81 expect to meet lot Of you newspaper
fellows, so I've made up my mind not TO
talk"
Later Warner told briefly how he had
escaped from the East and eluded the
officers so long. He had been in hiding in
jersey City for some time, he said, and
becoming tired of his concealment de-
cided to give himself up On the way 20
the station the sight of a bicycle on a
curbing opened up an avenue of escape.
He stole the wheel and rode to Philadel-
phia. After a short time in that city he
started West, making his way TO Kansas
on his wheel by easy stages. He claims
to have been at Riley for seven weeks.
