FOR REVENGE
 SHE CONFESSES
Mrs. Gordon duplicates the Con- . federates Of Her Convict
 Husband.
Recalls the Selling of Gold Brick
 to Banker Little of Dixon.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 NEW YORK, Feb. "A morning paper says: Mrs. Edna Gordon, queen of con- fidence women, who Is we'll known in San Francisco, has made confession, in which she says that Frank Aldridge, William Raymond and James Leak have deserted her and her husband, Charles Gordon, who is now serving term in San Quentin pen1tentiary, and for that reason she betrays them. She says:
 ''In 1895, Aldridge, Raymond and Leak played a trick on Banker Little of Dixon, Cal. My husband, Charles Gordon, was not mixed with this work. My husband was in New York at the time. The gang shortly met in New York, and a dispute arose, which resulted in a split Ray mond, Leak and my husband formed a new gang, and Aldridge went with two crooks named Ray and Smith. Aldridge had succeeded in getting Smith out of prison in the South. Gordon, Raymond and Leak went back to California in 1896 and caught a man named Hostetter for s10,000. While trying to work another trick, Gordon, Raymond and Leak were caught. Banker Little heard or their cap ture and was present at the trial.
 As 1t happens, my husband and AL dridge are as alike as twins. Raymond and Leak were not identified, but Banker Little swore. that my husband was the same person who had swindled him. He identified Charlie positively. My husband at the time of the little trick was with me at Nineteenth street and Amsterdam avenue He got ten years.
 Now. Frank Aldridge promised me that he would furnish means of letting me go to California to establish an alibi, but he prevented my going It was a principle with the crowd that they would never desert each other. My husband is now in San Quentin. He has consump- tion. They have known that my daugh ter, now 20 years of age, a sickly girl. unable to make her own living, was on my hands. They have refused to help me.
 My daughter is now grown. do not wish her to be a crook but my spirit and my heart are broken, and I want her to lead an honest life. I shall be an honest woman henceforth. I shall aid in bringing to justice the men who have ruined my life and betrayed my hus- band.''

place the moose on Tanners neck. He replied:
 Boys, I cannot do it unless you cover his head with a cap. l don't want Doc. to see me-"
 Tanner said: "Gentlemen, l would like to put 1t on myself.
 This, however was not allowed, but | a gentleman who is well known in the l vicinity of San Francisco and who IS | an ex-county official of San Mateo, of | fered his services, and the rope was soon in place Tanner was then asked if he had anything to say or if he had any messages to leave. He replied:
 T have no messages to leaves as have no relatives or friends I would like to know how you are going to hang me. Do you intend to pull me up and | down or are you going to just pull me up?'
 He was told that for mercy's sake they would only pull him up and tie the rope Tanner said, "All right"
 The cap now being placed over his head he was pulled up about three feet above the snow and the rope tied to the trunk of the tree. The only move ments in his body which were noticed after it's being raised was the drawing of his shoulders up toward the neck and a sudden throwing forward of the head. When he had been hanging five minutes or so he raised his legs upward and then strengthened out, and was not seen to move again.
 The executioners then marched back to the camp and buried Call and Lee. Each of them had been rolled m his blankets, and they were inferred in the same grave A rough but imposing ceremony was had, and mother earth closed on them forever.
 Returning to where Tanner had been hanged, after an interval of two hours and a half, he was cut down, placed on a sled and hauled off into the snow flats and buried face downward under eigh- teen inches of sand, no ceremony being held at his grave.
 Tanner was light complexioned, 45 years of age, weighed 190 pounds and was six feet in height. His hair was slightly red, he was partly bald, his teeth were large and noticeably long, HIS CIllH pIOJcSllIS dIiO oAlLIAii6 CyOos which were deep set, peered out over long, straight nose. He was large boned and very muscular; in fact, his was face and figure any one would remember, once having seen them. He was of a very nervous temperament. His party endeavored several times while in Seattle to have him have his photograph taken in a group with them, but he always stoutly refused, giving some trivial excuse. Tobacco he never used and he was never seen to use any kind of liquor. He was not an unusually profane man, but was given to boasting. remarking to one of the party on the way here that he could draw a gun as quickly as any man in America.
 The effects of Call, Lee and Tanner will be sold at auction and the pro- ceeds sent to the families of Call and Lee. Call leaves a widow and grown daughter. He owns property in Mime sota, from which he receives $1200 rent a year. Lees wife said as she kissed him good-by at Boston that she would never see him again. He leaves a daughter twelve years of age

 A vote was then taken by the jury. All declared Tanner guilty; twenty nine were for hanging at once and nine voted to send Tanner to Sitka. As the majority of the Jurors had voted to hanS him at the camp it was so de- clded- Tanner was given till 10: 30 a. m. to make his peace and do any writing that he might wish to. Tanner was again placed in charge of Mcintyre and Martin. and taken to his cabin jail. From the time of killing up to the time of his conviction Tanner made no attempt to: make a demonstration or a fight. He gave up his revolver without word of dissent. He was not searched at any time.
 At the commencement. of the trial and when Tanner was being ushered into the courtroom Haines, seeing him loose sprang from his chair and cried to Planners guards to tie Tanners arms, as he was dangerous Nor would Haines approach Tanner during the trial, but kept a close watch upon him, as if fearing some bodily harm At the conclusion of the trial Haines requested the jurors to allow him one privilege-to place the moose on Tan ner's neck. They promised to grant him this favor.
 The following morning, the 3d of Jan- uary, the trial having lasted from g p. m. to i a. m., everything was put into readiness for the execution of Tanner. The miners formed in line at 10 a. m., and Tanner was taken from his temporary jail, his arms bound be- hind his body. He was then placed in the center of the committee and marched a half mile to the edge of some cottonwood timber. where a few scattering spruce and hemlock grew The committee having selected a dead hemlock with a long projecting limb which stood on the border of the grove, Tanner was marched up to it, rope was thrown over the limb of the tree and Haines was then requested to
