The tunnel is an Immense affair, being
rroiected to extend outward from the
abore for a distance of four and one-half
miles and it has been under construction
for more than year.
The work has been attended with great
6aicultv. About six weeks ago there was
an explosion of gas in the shore end OF
tbe big hole, which killed eight men and
injured a number of others.
Soon afterward a big pocket of quick
sand was struck, and work was stopped
for some time.
The contractors then asked permission
IN defect the course of the tunnel from
the route fixed by the city engineers, but
il was refused. Work was finally resumed
and had progressed uneventfully until this
evening, when this latest and most horri-
bic accident came.
The explosion occurred at a few min
utes before o'clock, but nobody will ever
be able to tel what caused it or how il
happened, for every witness is dead and
the bodies of all are lying where they fell,
$500 feet out under the lake.
The only man in the tunnel who escaped
death is Con O'Donnell, a lock tender,
who was stationed 300 feet from the
shore
He heard the explosion or series of ex-
blossoms.
He says there were ten Of the shocks
and the conclusion was something terri
bic, for it threw him off his feet, and for
hours he was in such a dazed condition
that he could scarcely remember what had
happened
He finally CROPPED his way out and told
what had occurred.
Two men, Patrick Vonzer and Martin
McCauley were the first to venture in
the TUNE. after the accident occurred
They made their way to a lock $500 feet
from the shore but were there overcome
by The gas and fell to the floor
When they failed to return, a young
man named James Clements, son of one
Of the men killed, and who is employed
as a mule driver, went to their rescue

nIaees and inducing him to spend his money there. It is this action on the mart of Krieg and her husband that induced her to make this sensational exposure.
 immediately after Mrs. scully had made her affidavit, a copy of 1t was taken to the Chief of Police and read to him. He sent for Officer Scully. Scully at first denied all knowledge of money having been paid for his posi- tion. but after all the details of the transaction were related and he had been cautioned by Chief Kidward, be admitted that he had signed note for $50, which was in part payment of the s2OO that he and his wife had agreed to pay for his position. He denied, however, that he had seen his wife pay over the $150 in cash to W. c. Krieg. His other answers were given in such a way as to indicate that he was far from telling "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
 He could not recollect when or where the note was signed, whether or not his wife had signed the note with him, or what had become of the note. When pressed on the matter he said that he had destroyed the note, after he had paid it by giving four orders on the City Treasurer for SIS 35 each to W. c.

Krieg. The last of these orders was paid on January 21, of this year He said that he knew his wife had paid s150 to W. c. Krieg for his position, as she had told him so, but he did not know when or where this money was paid. He also knew that she had bor- rowed it. Scully made the following further statement:
 T had the first talk with W. C.. Krieg about securing position on the police force In November, 1896, just be- fore the election. I afterward ap- preached Councilman Krieg and said I would like to get a place on the police force. He said it depended on who got elected as members of the council. He would then see how things stood. 1 next saw W. c. Krieg in his shop after election. He said there was a pretty hard crowd elected and that 1t would take money for fellow to get in. He said it would take about $50. He did not mention any names, but said that parties up town would have to have it. I was also present at my house when W. c. Krieg spoke to my wife about this matter
 Chief Kidward was rendered almost speechless by the revelations to which he was listener. When the interview with Scully was over and the latter rhad

left the Chiefs private office, Chief Kidward expressed himself as follows: ''I didn't know the first thing about this. It was a cloudburst to me. The only thing I knew was about the col lecting of the money by W. c. Krieg. thought he was simply collecting money for some work done for Scully. I col lect the money for the whole depart ment from the City Treasurer, and these orders are a check against the mems salary, which I generally pay. I remember the payment of two of these orders to w. c. Krieg. The first order was left with the City Treasurer. and I think when I called for the money they gave me the order as part of Scully's salary. The second order was presented to me by W. c. Krieg. He brought the order in here and I paid it to him and kept it out of Scully' s salary"
 Chief Kidward then paid the fol- lowing tribute to Scully as an officer: "As far as Scully personally in con- cerned he has been a number 1 off, cer. He has shown himself to be ex- ceedingly bright, and for new man has done remarkably good work. expected good work from him, but he far exceeded my expectations. He always proved himself faithful, willing and energetic"
 At the close of the interview the Chief gave the order for the immediate suspension of Officer Scully pending an investigation before the City Council. The Chief evidently regretted to take this course, but said he had to act promptly in order to protect himself and the police force as a whole from unfavorable criticism. He added that he would lay the matter before the Council on Monday night.
 In the course of his interview Scully said he could not place his hands on any of the orders or the note given to w. c. Krieg, but the last order paid bv Chief Kidward was secured. It reads as follows:
 San Jose, March 9, 1897.
 I. N. Ewing. Treasurer City or San Jose: Please pay to w. c. krieg, on or der thirteen 35-100 dollars $13.35) and de- duct the same from my salary Tor the month of July, 1897, and oblige.

1 sou1ly's star for him simply out of friendship.
 Whatever the Council may do in this matter there is a certainty that 1t will be brought to the attention of the Grand Jury for immediate considera tion. It Is very likely that the New Charter Club will take the case in hand.
 While Mrs. Scully was dictating her affidavit to-day the tears which she vainly endeavored to restrain would now and again we'll over, and her words would come in trembling, half sobbing tones, as days of anguish and suffering were apparently recalled to her mind. She lays all the blame for the apparent alienation of her hus- bands affection to the companionship of Councilman Krieg. Her most fer vent wish. she says, is that Krieg may be put in the States prison, and that men like him may never again be elected to hold office in the city of San Jose.
 A sad touch of romance runs through this story of bribery, cruelty and cor ruption. Mrs. Scully was a rich wid- ow, with four children. when she mar ried John H. Scully about five years ago Her first husband, Welsh, left her fortune of about $50 900, nearly all In real estate. on Fl Dorado street, just north of the business center of San Jose. She has the reputation of being extremely generous, and never in the days of her prosperity refused a re- quest from a friend for a loan. Be- tween her ilI-advised 1iberality and the drains made on her by her youthful and good-looking husband, all her property is today mortgaged up to the full limit, and the rents are pledged to pay the interest on these mortgages For this reason Mrs. Scully has of late been dependent on what her husband could earn to provide food and cloth ing for herself and children. Recently, she says, she has been getting little or nothing from Scully, whose salary IS police officer has been s75 a month. Some days, she stated, she had no mon- ey with which to provide her family with food.
 She charges that Krieg has been talk ing her husband into disreputable

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 12.-C. M. Ray mond, alias Moore who is now in Fol- som prison and who is to be hanged on the Sth day of April for the murder of Fred Andrews in a hotel at Baden. San Mateo County. has made a full and complete confession. He generates Winters and duplicates a man by the name of Willets. To-night's Bee has the following statement of the con- fession:
 "On last Monday Moore sent for Warden Aull. saying he was anxious to see him upon important business. It was a wet, dismal day, and this, per haps, may have led him to think of his crime. When Warden Aull arrived at the cell Moore told the Warden that he wanted to confess to the murder, and asked the Warden to send for Brother Chisholm, the prison chaplain. Warden Aull told him that he would send for Brother Chisholm, but that the chaplain generally came over on Sat- urday.
 Moore said that he could not wait that long. Warden Aull then said he would see how soon he could get Brother Chisholm and telephoned to the chaplain, who answered he would try to get over from Auburn the next day. The warden was very busy, hav- ing other matters to attend to, and told the chaplain he could not see him on Tuesday.
 Warden Aull then went to Moore that same evening and told him that Chisholm would not be over until Sat- urday. Moore still insisted that he could not wait that long.
 The condemned man said that he and Winters went to Baden one week prior to the shooting and examined the building. They then went back to San Francisco, where Moore procured a re- volver from Winters. Later, Moore said. he met Willets, who was an ex- convict, and together they returned to Baden. While there. Moore said, he met Winters in Holy Cross Cemetery and got another pistol from him. Will lets and Moore that night entered Fer riter's Hotel for the purpose of com- hitting the burglary.
 Some one who was at the head of the stairs" said Moore, saw us and threw me down stairs. The noise att tracted several other roomers. who ap- peared on the scene. At the foot of the stairs I looked up and saw several people struggling with Willets. when [ shot four times"
 Warden Aull asked Moore what Win- ters was doing in Baden at that time.
