MIR. William l.. Cross clerk of tho
United states district court. was seen
by a News man today. and was asked
what he knew concerning the statement
made by William Parsons. Jr,, OF Hall
fax. " =, I'm relation to the alleged
Bran confession.
Mr. Cross said that he knew no such
man by name, ana had certainly never
told Mr.. Parsons or anybody else, that
Bran had made "a confession To him of
his crime II will tell you all that there
Is To tell" said Mr.. Gross. In Septcm-
Der, 1897, i'm company with Mrs. Cross
and George Grant and his wife. | went
Co Halifax ON a vacation trip. and while
there we stopped at the WaVerly House
| engaged hackman 10 drive us 10
different points of the city. but never
learned his name. noi do | recall haV-
ing had any conversation with him
except upon general topics. such as one
would have with driver I'm a strange
city.
1T is possible however, that this man
may have learned that | was connected
with the United States courts, and, al
though | have no recollection Of il, he
may have asked me my opinion of the
Bran case, FOR people in Halifax We're
naturally more or less interested I'm the
case. do not know that | expressed
any opinion TO this man. but IL / did.
inasmuch as il was after Bran had
been sentenced by Judge Colt, | proba
bly, said that i'm my opinion he was
guilty OF the crime. But ! do not re-
call any such conversation. and cer-
tainly never told Parsons that Bran
had made a confession To me.
Now. gs a matter of fact, even had
Bran made any confession at any time,
IL would never have been To me, for l
had nothing whatever 10 do with the
Bran case either directly or indirectly.
for everything in relation 10 IL -Mas IN
the hands of the clerk ina Boston. |
never saw Bran In my life but once.
and that was ON the day that he was
sentenced by Judge colt l went to
Boston that day. and, by courtesy OF
the clerk OF the court I occupied a seat
at the clerks desk. Bran was In the
dock and at no time was ever nearer to
him. and never had any conversation
with him.
II cannot i'm any way account for the
remarkably and utterly incorrect story
that Mr.. Parsons Is telling at this late
day and / cannot surmise what his OBJ
ject can be i'm making such state
ment. To use the most charitable term
that I can think Of | can most emphati-
cally say that Mr.. Parsons is very
much mistaken
