that there were GA unlicensed liquor
dealers i'm Providence, and a canvass
made within a week showed the mini
mum of unlicensed liquor dealers to be

leave town, and the four men left him.
Instead of leaving town, however, Mum
son appeared bright and early at the pros
ecuting attorneys Office the next morn
ing and asked IL warrant had been Is
sued for his arrest. He was given a mega
tive answer, and then he made the state
ment that he believed he had been tricked
into making the confession. That same
day., however, the four men who obtained
the confession learned that Munson had
not kept his alleged promise to leave town,
arrest. They were put off until yesterday,
as the warrant was issued Munson learned
of 1t and gave himself up, at once furnish
ing bail for his appearance at the prelim-
mary examination. which is set for next
Wednesday.
r. b. Aibertson. of Lewis, Hardin G.
Albertson, which firm represents Munson,
and incidentally the owners of the Acme,
of which he is captain, declined to make
any statement of his Clients side of the
case yesterday, further than to say:
There are conspiracies and conSpiracies,
and we will be able to show one on the
other side of this case. Mr.. Munson has
nothing to fear, and as soon as he learned
of the issuance of the warrant he volun-
tariy gave himself up.''
1t is claimed by the friends of Munson
that Edgar was once indicted by an Ore
gon grand jury for felony. This Is not
denied by Edgar's friends, who say that
the latter recently made trip to Oregon
and had the indictment ouashed.

ing, Edgar claims. that they were to meet
again and discuss the matter.
Edgar says that Immediately after part
ing from Munson he notified = young man
named Russell. who IL employed on the ne
steamer, George Bartch, il also interested
in the Renton, the boas which Munson
proposed to have burned, OF the propos!-
ton which Munson had made TO MIN. Eo-
gar claims that he and Russell thereupon
be an eavesdropper at the subsequent con-
yersations between himself and Munsor. :.
Edgar asserts that after this time ne ana
Munson had several conversations, at eacn
OF which Russell was a silent ana unop-
served auditor His plan always In.v was .ov 70
where he would talk to him. Finally, It Is
claimed, Munson paid Edgar SO on ac-
count, to which payment Russell was g
witness. It Is claimed that the Identical ylO
paid Is now In the hands OF the prosecution on;
was not burned. On Christmas day It is
claimed that Capt. Bartch, Russell, Edgar
and Tompkins, the latter being the man
who yesterday swore to the complaint
against Munson, hunted Munson up took
been trapped; that he was caught red
handed In the act of conspiring to burn
the Renton but that he would not be
prosecuted II he would at first sign an
affidavit confessing his own guilt In the
matter, duplicating his co-conspirators.
Then the Renton people told him he must
leave town at once.

Matterson. who without question was the
coolest man in the affray, cooler even
than the desperadoes themselves, says that
he heard a whistle as If signal from the
man whom he wounded as he (Matterson)
left the car and took to the brush. Aside
from this he says he looked back as he
lay down in the brush and saw the fusil-
ade going on in the car. The man whom
Piimpton was shooting at, he says, was
not the man he shot.
Curious crowds visited the morgue all
day yesterday to look. at the dead man.
Nearly every one claimed to have seen
him before, but this is doubted in most in
stances, as he had been In town only
short time previous to the hold-up. From
all sources, however. it is believed that
he is a man who has been seen hanging
around saloons in the Tenderloin district for
the past two weeks. Nothing Is known
about the mans previous criminal record,
If he had any.
Coroner Sparkling will hold an inquest this
afternoon on the body. The inquest will be
held at Bonney & Stewards morgue, COM

Plimpton's Version Of the shooting.
Charles =. Plimpton, who had the des-

yesterday. He was operated on early in the
morning, and during the remainder OF the

made the statement that only one of the
bullets WHICH hit him was Aired by. the

says that the rst shot fired
for general rush out the back door on
the part Of the passengers inside. Just
as the shooting on the outside died away
the confederate OF the wounded bandit en-
tered the car, of which Plimpton was the
only occupant. He walked straight up to
Plimpton, who was crouching in. his seat.
and ordered him to hold up his hands.
Plimpton reached for his gun with one
hand and raised his left arm as II to
shield himself. The bandit fired at him

own gun out, and shot, he thinks. square,

him as he left the car He believes that
he wounded him, but of this he is not GER
not seen again. Plimpton says the man
shot at him only once.
Plimpton's wounds are not serious, and
he viii be out again in a few days.
No Trace Of Second bandit.
Yesterday afternoon Detectives Williams
and Phillips went out to the scene of the
robbery and death, and searched the sur
rounding brush and woods for great dis
lance in the possible hope of finding some
clue to the whereabouts of the second
highwayman, the man with whom Plimp-
ton had the encounter. The fact that
Plimpton fired at him at such close range
coupled with his opinion that he wounded
him, led the police to believe 1t possible
that his dead body would be found in the
brush, as was his confederate's. No sign
OF him was discovered.
The fact that no trace OF the second
man could be found caused a rumor to be
circulated and to gain some credence that

Austins court by George Tompkins, one
of the owners of the Renton.
The story of the alleged facts leading
up to Muns6n's arrest, as related by Dep
uty Prosecuting Attorney Fulton, who
drew up the complaint against Munson,
are as follows: For some time there has
been bitter rivalry between the Acme and
the Renton. and the owners of each boat,
1t is said, have made no secret OF their
desire to have the other removed from
the Seattle-B othel route. The business of
the route, 1t is said, has not been sufficient
ly profitable to justify the running of two
boats.
On the morning of December 16. it is
claimed, Capt. Munson, of the Acme, met
G. w. Edgar of Kirkland on the Madison
street wharf. and asked him il he was
willing to undertake the job of getting rid
Of the Renton After few preliminary re-
marks, Edgar according to his statement
made to Mr.. Fulton, asked Munson what
there was in it," He asked this question,
it is claimed, in order to draw Munson out,
and declares that Munson replied that he
could have s100 for the Job.
Details of Alleged Plot.
Munson. so Edgar claims, then went on
to state that on Christmas eve the Renton
was to take Christmas party to a dance
at Juanta. The boat would be tied up
during the dance, and Edgar says that
Munson suggested that this would be a
fitting time to set fire to it, Then Edgar
and Aupson parted. with the understand
