Well, but I know you did it.'
 This was the substance of the re- markable conversation between the murderer and the one man who best knew whose hand had caused the tragedy. =.
 Since that time Bird and Frank Belew have often met at Sacramento and Dixon, discussing the murder in all it's phases, part of the time when Con- stable Frank Newby of Dixon was se- creted so as to overhear the murderer admit without a tremor that he slew those whose death he pretended to mourn with bitter contrition.
 Bird, the strange brother-in- law, who has kept the dreadful secret for months to save his wife from the dis grace of being known to all the world as the sister of an infamous moral monster, at last made his confession through fear. -
 Hints repeated with increasing fre- quency and persistency led him to be- lieve that the brutal wretch intended to murder him so that no human be- ing could confront him with more than suspicion.
 Td1h HdS Deeil tTytuS tO get me to go out hunting in the jules for long time,'' said Bird last night. "He has been persistent in this request, and has planned in every way to get me to go with him to some lonely spot. When [ refused he seemed more determined than ever, and I read unmistakably that he wanted to murder me because he wanted me out of his way"
 This suspicion was corroborated by the fact that Belew tried to shoot a farm hand he owed money some years ago, pretending that his gun was acci- dentally discharged. When this failed he placed poison in biscuit The hand made complaint at Dixon, whereupon Belew tried to make everybody be- leve that the hand, who was a. stran- ger, was insane and had tried to com- init suicide.
 "Frank has always admitted the crime," runs Birds narrative, much of which Constable Newby corrobor- ates. "He has never expressed re-; morse for the murder, but has often laughed at the way he eluded tho officers and perpetrated what he. threatened. He said he did good job and thought he was pretty smooth in getting away with tho sleuths." i When the idea of murdering Bird while the two men were out hunting failed to pan out owing to Birds re- :. fusal to go to the jules Frank Belew began to urge his brother-in-law .to accompany him to the Klondike coun- try, Bird fearing, however, that the : object was to murder him rather than to hunt gold.
 Then dark days of fear and suspicion came to Bird. His secret grew heavy. It became a burden that bore him down, drove sleep from his eyelids and : made him suspicious that every mor- sel he ate contained poison.
 It was for these reasons that the se- cret of the dreadful murder finally came to the ears of the authorities.

MURDERER BELEW CAGED
DixOn'S POiSOner Behind the Bars for Killing Brother and
 Sister.

Frank Belew's arrest for the flendish murder of his brother and sister marks | an epoch in one of the most celebrated | crimes of the century.
 Retributive justice has overtaken the 1 brutal wretch with the suddenness of a stroke of lightning, at moment when he felt most secure, and when the pub | lie had given up all hope that the pois- l oner would ever be brought to the gall | lows-tree.
 In spite of the cunning with which he planned the crime that swept his rela- 1 tives away, and of the remarkable way he sat at his sisters bedside and watched her drink of the waters of | death as he held her hand, he has been | outdone in cunning. From his own lips have been heard the monstrous confessions that stamp him as one of the most infamous demons that the ages have produced.
 Frank Belew's arrest and confession are strange proofs of the truth of the statement of the immortal Webster that murder will out.
 The moral monster who committed that dark crime is the one man in all the world toward whom the finger of suspicion was pointed by all who knew the circumstances; yet the evidence seemed forever lost until the murderer himself gave it to the expectant world.
 Before the victims of the murder were buried The Call exclusively pub lished the fact that Frank Belew was the murderer. His own shameful con-
  dreamed that hostile ears were listen ing, is more marvellous than the tales of Aladdin, more dark and damning than the blackest pages from Dante or Milton. and more cruel than the stories of tortures common with savage races and benighted tribes, in lands where human blood is held of no more value than water that runs in ditches.
 Though there has been no doubt in the minds of those who know Frank Belew that he eeisoned his relatives hope had heei@ Ieandoned and the 1 Dixon public believed the murderer would never be arrested
 Two weeks ago Frank Belew was met by Call reporter in the Postoff1ce at Dixon. Discussing the murder of his DrOLler ana SlStor ne SdlQ. we would | all contribute literally to help hang the 1 flend who committed this dark crime. I don't think a worse murder was ever committed In the United States. It gave me lots of trouble, but am glad | they have let me alone now and are hunting elsewhere for the criminal | do not believe there are many persons in this county who will believe that I | could have poisoned my relatives and | held my sisters hand while she was writhing in pain and slowly dying. Tommy will tell you that I did more for her and Lewis while they were suf- fering than anybody else did, and that it broke me all up."

nurses to make gruel, using water from the tea kettle he had poisoned 1 The monstrous murderer insisted or holding Susie Belew's hand while she writhed in pain and pleaded with those around her to give her relief from the pangs of dissolution. He was with hel to the end.
 At the funeral, which took place or November 10, Frank Belew was dressed in a suit of solemn black, apparently one of the most deeply affected mourn CTS.
 In the wild night of crime, however his mind slipped cog. So fierce was the storm of rage. so high leaped the flames of revenge, that he forgot a threat he had made the day before he poisoned his relatives for the purpose of a few thousand dollars-a threat that he would commit a crime that would startle the world.
 The day before he poisoned his brother and sister the wretch who now stands confronted with his own con- fessions called upon his brother-in-law, John w. Bird, a Sacramento pho tographer. He complained to him bit terly, as he had done to others, that he had not received enough of the prop erty of his parents, who overlooked him in their will.
 I've just been down to- see Susie,' he said. "She showed me her wedding clothes and said she and Charley En- man were going to Nevada on a tour. :"
 The fiend then passed, gritting his 1,fe efc J brother were both about to marry thereby introducing new people in the family to divide the hard earned wealth of his parents. In desperation he said:
 "They have not treated mo right in regard to the estate, but I'll have some of it yet. They'll not live to enjoy it."
 There was pause. some interrup- tion causing a change of the subject. Then the spirit of murder again spoke, saying:
 "Bird, I'm going to commit ter rible crime tomorrow. I'm going to commit tragedy that will shock the whole community"
 Bird, whose wife was Franks sister, Ellen, said:
 Do not do anything foolish. old man. Think of the consequences of such a crime"
 Belew said no more about his plans of murder, though he seemed dogged, morose, determined. The men then separated and did not meet again un- til after the funeral, where both had attended apparently as sincere mourn CTS Then there was a strange conver- saton.
 Well, you did what you said you would do,' said Bird.
 'Did what?" asked the murderer, ap parently startled.
 Murdered Lewis and Susie.'
 Did I tell you that?" he asked in great trepidation.
 Yes
 Then the sullen wretch studied for a moment and said: "Yes, do remember that I made threat, but didn't tell you had done it.:

 As his reputation for valor was now | firmly established he would have liked in his vanity thousands of voices to be raised in his praise and grew angry when the frogs croaked requiem in | compliment to the fallen cavalier. However, such is the way of the world. As long as one is alive 1t refuses to pay one homage. One must die before being appreciated and honored.
 What would Narcissus have said had he known that the Edelweiss took the veil on account of her deep sorrow on the death of the cavalier Gentianf Toward evening, when he had rested from the fatigue of the day, he cried in voice so loud as to be heard all around "Come to me, thou beauteous her init, so white and pure. Thou art meet and fit to be my own princess Hardly had he pronounced these words when he was attacked by prick ing pains, which seemed to be burning him on all sides, but he determined to grasp and conquer his enemy. He succeeded in catching hold of the Will-o' the wisp and grasped 1t so firm ly that 1t was soon inert and grew cold or and colder and heavier and heavier. Eventually the burden became So great that be let it fall at his feet, and there lay monstrous jewel, white as the

Suddenly the Reeds were pushed aside, and long bearded gnome issued from the lake and gazed with goggle eyes at the newborn Opal. Lost in admiration, he hastened to pick it up Its effulgenoe was so bril- liant that he thrust 1t into a lantern which he wore slung round his neck and set out to rejoin his fellow gnomes On reaching them be cried out: "Come and see what a magnificent gem have found"
 His companions laughed at him, say ing:
 "Why, it is but Will -the-w wisp " "I tell you it is an Opal. I picked it up, and its fire scorched my band.
 "Yet 'tis but Will-o' -the-wispp' The poor gnome was furious with anger and exclaimed:
 "I know that it is an Opal, and ye are jealous because I am wealthier than ye allr'
 He preserved his treasure for some days, but he perceived that it dwindled slowly away as its rays grew fainter and fainter-so faint, indeed. that it scarce ly seemed to shine.
 ''Take it back to the lake" cried his companion. Perhaps it may there re- cover its effulgence and beauty"
 So the gnome went sorrowfully back to the lake, hoping against hope Hard ly had be opened his lantern when the flame sprang out, and, increasing per oeptibly in size, glided noiselessly over the surface of the water to the center of the lake, where it distended and sepa- rated itself into broad green leaves whence emerged the ohaste Water Lily. which once more lifted its fair face to gaze on the resplendent Moon.
