MORGAN'S STATEMENT.
First Story of the Fight Told By the
Prisoner.

When Morgan was seen by a reporter
of The Herald some hours after his
sentence, he showed less concern than
he did in the courtroom. He was even
jolly, and he smiled when a joke was
passed. 1t was not sickly, forced
smile, but an open and candid appre-
citation of the point. His face was
fresh and smooth, but there was about
it a look of latent worry and anxiety.
There is no doubt that the boy feels
keenly his terrible position.
Heretofore he has refused to discuss
his case, and has said very little about
it, even to his attorneys. But when
he was told that anything he said
would be published. and that he had a
chance to give his side of the story, he
made this statement:
My brother and I were coming down
from Brigham on the night of April 30,
on the way to Salt Lake, where we
were going TO look for work. 1 wanted
TO get a place driving delivery wagon,
and my brother was looking for any
thing to do around horses, for that was
his line"
What of the robbery of Fred Han
SOM"
We'll, I admit we did that" said
Morgan. We were broke and we had
to have money on our way down; we
had to eat, and we thought it better to
get along that way than TO beg, so we
took $3.50 and his shoes from him.
LAS we got about seventy-five yards
from the Hot Springs hotel, several
shots were fired at us. This was, as
was said, about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing. l didn't know who was shooting,
or what it was about, so we ran back
and on up the hill behind a ledge of
rocks. There We remained about ten
seconds. The officers never had us
cornered, for while they thought they
were surrounding us and holding us till
morning, we were going up on the hill
side in the dark.
I'VE wandered about until daylight,
and then continued back in the direc-
ton from which we had come. We
didn't have anything to eat, and moth
ing to drink but snow water
AT about O'Clock during the af-
ternoon, as they say, we saw three men
above us on the mountainside, maybe
500 yards away, and they saw US at the
same time. Now, we didn't know any,
thing about the country nor about
trails on the mountains. We only
knew the general direction we wanted
to go to reach Salt Lake. The officers
saw US at the same time, and we start
ed to run slantingly down the noun
tainside. They gained on us until

WANTS TO SURRENDER.

the Herald from San Miguel, via Ma

1.-The insurgent general Gregoris Del
Pillar believes he has been deserted by
the Filipino government, and desires to
surrender, if he can secure what he
regards as honorable terms from the
Americans.

with wounded. General Pillars main
subsistence depot is five miles in front

Mayor Robert a. Van .Wyck was in
the witness chair before the assembly
committee appointed to investigate the
workings of the municipal depart
ments. He was questioned as to wheth-
er he consulted with Richard Croker re-
garding the conduct of the city govern
ment, and fatty denied that he did so.
Neither, Mr.. Van Wyck said. had he
consulted with Mr.. Croker regarding
the removal of city offices from the
New York Insurance building to the
new Syndicate building on Park row.
He was very well satisfied with the eff
ficiency shown in the various city Off
ces. Mr.. Van WICK said he had not
consulted with Mr.. Croker at Lake
wood in December. 1897, on the subject
of the election of heads of the depart

he did not know that the building to
which the health department had been
assigned was not fireproof.
There is not a fireproof building in
the city," replied the mayor.
Mr.. Van Wyck denied he had been
elected mayor by Tarlmany. He said
he had been chosen by the people of
Greater New York.
Who is there in the organization,
who is sponsor for your organization,

manded the lawyer.

responded the mayor, warmly.
Il cannot be called TO account except
the court shall organize some judicial
tribunal. No individual can call me to

Referred to Senator Platt.
In answer to the question if it was

SIZE OF 0RSON SMITHS DEBTS
NOW ESTIMATED THAT CACHE
FARMERS LOSE SIS, 900.
Inspector Small Examines Postoffice
and Finds Everything Right
Race For the Postmastership.
(special 10 INC Herald.l

Logan. May 16.-As the news of Or
son Smiths failure spreads the sum of
his liabilities is gradually increased 1t
now appears that farmers in the heavy
grain producing districts of the north
ern end and west side of the valley
are the greatest losers. Today the gen
eral impression is that the liabilities
will be nearer $4,000 than the figures
previously given. OF course, no accu-
rate estimate can be made just now, as
it is not known just how much each
individual received on the grain sold to
Smith. One paper today attempts TO
give the amounts lost by various far
mers but the figures given are abso-
lutely Enthusiastically. The first man
named-Bishop Davidson-is credited
with having lost 1,40O bushels. As a
matter of fact. he sold that amount of
grain to Smith for 80 cents per bushel
and received half of the money upon
delivery of the wheat. He is out the
rest-$370.
Perhaps the saddest case developed
by the failure is that of Thomas Will
son. an aged resident of the Fifth
ward, who loaned Smith all the money
he had. and in consequence is left
nearly pennilesS.
There is some talk here of money be-
ing raised for the purpose of helping TO
pay OFF some of the bankruptS debts
and inducing him to return here.
The news got abroad yesterday that
the First National bank was loser to
the extent of about $4,000. and the re-
suit was that a run on the institution
was threatened until it was learned
that s., 300 was the total Indebtedness
of Smith to the bank and that the
greater part of that was secured.
Inspection of Postoffice.
Postal Inspector ]. \. Small has been
going through the accounts of the
postoffice this afternoon. He found
everything all right. He has notified
Smiths bondsmen. L. r. Martineau.
Joseph Morrell and John II. Anderson,
that they must appoint someone imme-
diately to take charge of the office I'M
til a new appointment of postmaster is
made. Two of the bondsmen are out Of
town. but the appointment will be made
when they return. Glen Miller has
given the naming of the next postmas-
ter to Joseph Knowles, chairman of the
Republican county committee.
No active canvass for the position of
postmaster has as yet been made. and
the way in which the Tribune CORE
spondent. f. T. Hyde. throws bOquets
at himself in todays Tribune is caus-
ing unbounded amusement here Jo-
seph Squires, the young man who has
been the real postmaster ever since
Smith took the Office, will likely be a
formidable candidate for the Job. and
he will have the support of the younger
element of the town.
