Sufferers from this horrible rnalady

Fat-ick and Jones. has made a state
NEXT concerning the alleged confess
sion of Jones. He says he does not
believe Jones ever confessed and bases
his belief on what he says Jones told
him on Wednesday. After calling at
tention to the fact that millions are
AT stake in the matter House said:
The confession is said to have been
made voluntarily Tuesday night Mr.
Osborne says that Captain McClusky
was not present. When l visited Jones
in the city prison yesterday morning
he told me that he had been SUBJ
jected to the third degree the night
previous. He said that he had been
told that l wanted TO see hin"
House then proceeded to quote Jones
as declaring that the prosecution was
continually putting pressure upon him
to force him to confess something that
he. continually told the state lawyers
he could not as il did not happen;
that they told him Patrick had con-
feSSed, and he replied that he could
not help what Patrick did; that if he
had confessed the truth it would. hurt
nobody. Said Jones. as House declares:
"Then three different statements We're
prepared by Mr.. Osborne. Each was
read to me. and / was asked to sign
one of them. l declined. 1 then said
that I would talk no more. I told
Mr.. Osborne that he had no right to
treat me as he was, and that l would
say nothing more save IN your pres
ence, Mr.. House"
