against the Roman church in the six

Chick Hawkins, the colored porter, and
Daisy Steel, the proprietor of the place
at Jas Wichita street, are equally guilty.
and says that he will try to send the
three over the road for the crime.
Carter sent for Mr.. Amidon, saying he
wished to see him regarding the hold-up.
Mr. Amidon surmised that he wished to
make a statement and took Detective
Harry Sutton and Park Massey along as
witnesses.
The confession Of Carter is said to
have been very dramatic. The officers
say that when Mr.. Amidon arrived, Car
ter lost no time in announcing that he
intended to shoulder the entire blame of
the affair and thus attempt to save the
other two from the penitentiary He de-
clared that they knew nothing of the
matter, in fact that Hawkins was not
there, and that he met Arson at the
alley on Wichita street near Douglas
He claimed that Arson had a roll of
bills in his hand counting them. Some
unaccountable impulse moved him, he
said, to snatch the money from AnsOn's
hand. give him a shove and tell him in
no uncertain tones to make a run for
his life. He says he then went home and
did not return to the resort.
Carter wept and plead with the officers
to save the others from the penitentiary,
for he said that he alone was the one
who should suffer. What is the USE
he cried tearfully, "of sending three peo-
pie to a life of hell for the fatal error
of judgment of one? I did not need the
7 hay in .ba. arb bar
and at Kansas City. I was making good
wages. 1 don't know what made me do
it, For Gods sake, men," he almost
screamed, 'ff you have any feeling of
pity in your hearts. save the Others"
After hearing Carriers story, Hawkins
was called in. He told a tale radically
different from the one so dramatically
related by Carter. He claimed, the of
ficers say, that Carter and the Street
woman shortchanged Arson and attempt
ed to gain possession of his money An
son, he claims, left the house and he and
the former quarrelled at the door. An
son, he alleges, struck at him and then
ran. g says he ran after him, but final
ly gave up the chase just in time TO see
Carter stop him He says that the latter
returned to the house, but only remained
few minutes, fearing arrest.
Daisy Steel, it is said, claimed to the
officers that she knew nothing of the af-
fair; that Arson spent SIS in her house.
but that was all. She denies that Carter
returned to her place after the robbery.
The officers say that she admitted hav-
ing told Carter that Arson had no re-
volver
Owing to the conflicting tales told by
the three, the officers are led to believe
that they were all implicated and Mr..
Amidon says he will make every effort
to have them all sent to the penitentiary
for the crime. The case will come up at
the next term Of the district court.
