TELLS DETAILS OF THE MURDER

The real Will Gholson, the murderer Of Chief Deputy Sheriff Robert Warnock, is prisoner in the big rock jail, not over l0O feet away from where his victim formerly sat directing the business of the sherin s office.
 His capture was effected shortly after o'clock yesterday afternoon by Officers Patton and Mcdonald of the police depart- ment. He was chased under house cor ner of Avenue F and Seventeenth street and run to earth he surrendered.
 The ominous click, click of pair of re- vovers shook his courage and at the com mand of the officers he unloaded his pistol and threw up his hands. In twenty min utes he was in the city jail, had been identified by Sheriff OBrien, and admitted his guilt.
 People who saw modest grocer's delivery wagon moving slowly behind a worn-out horse along Second avenue and down Nine teenth street to the police station about 2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon did not realize the importance of it's human freight. There was nothing to attract attention. A negro was sitting in the rear with police- man on either side The occupants were Wft GholSon ana ms captorS.
 Sheriff O'Brien was on his way to the court house when Deputy Sheriff John Barker notified him of the capture He hastened to the police station and edging his way through the enormous crowd that had already gathered, he was admitted to the jail. Taking one quick glance at the negro he said. that's the negro"
 Admitted His Guilt
 ro several newspaper reporters the negro then admitted his identity and that he had killed Warnock. The crowd which gath cred about the jail frightened him and his face bore a deadly ashen hue. Great beads of precipitation dropped from his forehead. He was then too much excited to tell more than rambling story of the crime and his whereabouts since the fatal Sunday after noon.
 Desk Sergeant Rowlette asked him if he had heard of the death of his child. His reply was "no." The desk sergeant then told him that the child was dead, but the negro did not seem to be affected. It will be remembered that the child was sick on the Sunday afternoon that Warnock and the other deputies visiter the house in Third alley.
 Trouble was feared from the crowd out side, and as ruse Gholson was chained to Bud Oliver to be taken to the county jail. With Sheriff O'Brien by Gholson's side the party. including thirteen deputies and policeman, made the exit through the front door of the station and thence around through the alley to the rear of the mar ket house and out to Fourth avenue. By tia+l. a mob of more than a thousand people was following the officers and their prisoner. It was with difficulty that path was cleared on up to Twenty-first street. As soon as they turned in this thoroughfare crowd of five hundred people around the jail greet ed them. A peculiar incident was that half the crowd was made up of negroes, and they were most persistent in their efforts to get glimpse of the notorious murderer.
 Several of the officers drove the crowd back from the alley and the officers with their pistols gleaming from their hip pock- cts moved on to the jail door. There was a clank of chains and then the jail door closed on Will Gholson, who will likely never come out alive only to his trial.
 Read the Warrant As soon as they had gotten inside Sheriff O'Brien read the warrant, which had been sworn out by Albert Stratford before Jus tice Benners. ,The negro listened to the reading and not muscle twitched. When the reading was finished, F. R. Gaudien, Fourth avenue grocer, came in and spoke to the negro, who recognized him at once. Gaudien sold Gholson goods on number of occas sions.
 Gholson made another rambling state ment of his crime and was taken very much excited to cell No. and locked up. Later in the afternoon when the crowd had dispersed and he had had time to col lect his thoughts he made a tolerably straightforward statement to Captain O'Brien and an Age-Herald reporter. Ac- cording to Gholson's assertions he has spent but little time in the city, but has never been outside of Jefferson county. This is contradictory to the statement of Lundell, the boarding house keeper, which appears further down. He began at the commission of the crime, and his statement was given in cool, collected manner. It is | as follows:
 Marderer's Sta tement l He was sitting in front of the fire holding l his child in his arms. He heard some one | knock on the fence. He then saw MT. warnock and another man enter the yard. | The other man went around the house. MT. | Warnock came up on the porch and opened the door. He grabbed his pistol, which was banging over the fire place. and ran to meet him. Mir. Warnock ieveied his pistol
