FOLSOM. Feb. 1S.-'I frtd the shot that killed Fred Andrews at Terriers Hotel in Baden on November r last" !" said s. E. Moore, alias c. H. Raymond, to Warden Aull tonight. The con- victed murderer sent word from his cell early in the evening that he wanted to see the Warden again, and he was soon afterward taken to the office of the prison.
 Harry Winters, who is here in the prison with me with the sentence of death over him for complicity in the death of Andrews, had nothing to do with the killing of that man at Ba- den,'' he continued. Winters was not at the hotel on the night of the mur- der that I know of. James Willett was with me when the crime was commit ted"
 Moore 8 week ago sent word to War den Aull that he had some important information to make public, and he asked the Warden if he would send for Rev John Chisholm, the chaplain of the prison, to come and see him. The chaplain resides at Auburn, and he was communicated with by telephone. OCN~~NN not reach the prison before Saturday. Moore was notified of the chaplain's in ability to see him earlier in the week, and then the murderer sent word to the Warden that he wanted to confess his crime and correct a mistake that had been made. whereby, he claimed, man innocent of murder was about to sui fer the death penalty. What he told the Warden on that occasion was pub- lished in to-day's Call
 After the murderer was taken back to Ills cell he began acting in an eccen- tie manner, and 1t was the opinion Of h.s guards that he was feigning insan- ity.
 Chaplain Chisholm called on the pris- oner to-day, but Moore would not speak to him. Instead, he crouched in cor rer Of his cell, glancing at the minister, ard Chisholm backed away from the murderer, fearing he might be assault ed Tonight Moore again sent for the Warden, saying he wanted to make clear the statements he had made.
 About five days before the murder occurred he said, Winters and l went to Baden to look at the Grand Central Hotel there, with the purpose of seeing how the rooms were situated. We con- templated robbing the place. We went back to San Francisco, and spent most of the next two or three days around Attorney Nagle's office. l was at a Sal VatiOn Army meeting a night or two after returning from Baden, and there met James Willett. Willett and l had spent terms in this prison together for burglary. When we came cut of the meeting he asked me if I was ready to do job. I said yes and told him of the good chance of getting stake from Ferriter, the proprietor of the Baden Hotel.
 "On November Is we went to Baden. < day or two before going I got pis- tol from Winters, and I gave 1t to Will lett. Winters knew what l wanted the pistol for He knew we were going to rob Ferriter. On the way to Baden Willett and I met Winters in Holy Cross Cemetery. Winters knew where we were going, and, as l had no pistol with me, I asked Winters for one he showed me while we were in the was the weapon with which l killed Andrews.
 WiIlett and I reached Baden at about 4 D. m We loitered. about the place. keeping hid as well as we could. We watched the hotel until all the lights were out, then crept up to the side door and entered the house. The door was not locked, and as we went in a dog commenced barking. We knew then that we would be discover ed. and we resolved to rob the place if we had to kill.
 We went up the stairway. and we met a man in the upper hallway. I said I wanted some whisky, but he showed me part of the way down stairs. Willett then grappled with him, and there was scuff1e. Willett had his pistol in his hand. Then an- other man came in the hall carrying light. The man who carried the light I killed. I fired four shots. After the fourth shot I ran down the stairs, and Willett soon followed me. We went up the road, and we were to- separated. The last I saw of Willett was when I left him in. the road at the foot of the hill near Holy Cross Cemetery I was arrested about half an hour later The pistol found on me was the one I did the shooting with.
 T do not know what Winters was doing at Holy Cross Cemetery the day before the murder He said he was going to look for ajob in the Baden Packing House. but I, do not know if he was goin- to Baden for that pur- pose or not I did not see Winters at Baden that night.
 FeWhiIe I was in jail at Redwood City. I made a statement to the Sheriff of San Mateo County saying that Winters and Willett were with me in the murder of Andrews. That state ment was not true. Winters was not with me-
 James Willett. who. Moore claims, was his accondplice in the crime. was liberated from Folsom Prison only few months before the murder was committed He was sent from San Francisco for burglary.
