v
Tressufe-Prlsoner Claims He Did
the Job Alone but smelter Officials
Believe He Had Assistance.
San Francisco, Aug. 11.-Jack Win
ters, who was arrested as suspect in
connection with the Selby smelling
works robbery, has confessed, and so
far $3.50, ,O0eWorth of bullion has been
recovered from the bay where he had
sunk it.
For three days the detectives have
tried all sorts of persuasion to make
Winters confess, but apparently with
rat effect. Finally he asked to soc
Superintendent Ropp of the selby
works, who, he said, was the only
friend he had.
In his conversation with Ropp Win.
ters' manner indicated that he knew
where the gold had been hidden. Ropp
told Winters they had strong case
against him and that he would be sent
to prison for 80 years. He said:
''You will be an old man when you
get out, and it will do you no good to
hide the gold. We know 1t is hidden
In the water near the works, and we
will search every inch. You may be
sure that the gold will be found be-
fore you are out of prison"
Winters finally weakened and told
Ropp that he had taken the gold and
would take him to the spot where 1t
was hidden. Winters, in company
with Superintendent Ropp and force
Of detectives, left on tug Friday
night for Crockett. There they waited
all night for low tide. Winters point
ed out the place at
The End of the Railroad Wharf
beyond the coal bunkers, at the head
of the Vallejo ferry slip. At that
point at low tide the mud is about four
feet deep, covered by foot of water.
When the tug first reached Crockett
Winters pointed out the spot in the
water where he said he had thrown
the gold. Superintendent Ropp mark
cd the place on the wharf and the tug
steamed away to wait for low tide.
In the morning Winters got into the
mud and water up to his neck and, for
an hour and half, groped for the
missing bullion. Up to 10 o'clock
100000 worth had been recovered.
This includes the four bars Of fine
gold. Winters had put some Of the bars
In bags. He said one of the bags had
broken and some small bars had
dropped out. It is now only ques-
ton of careful search to find the rest
Of the $2S0,0O0.
Winters claims he did the job all
alone. He says he made fourteen trips
from the vault to the wharf, from
which he dropped the gold. The
smelter officials, however. are positive
that he received assistance from some
one, while the detectives think his
story is correct.
The tug with the detectives and
prisoner returned to this city during
the afternoon.

sisted that adequate protection for the

and the mill officers, claiming that
their men were being threatened and
in danger Of violence, called on Mayor
Black to clear the streets and protect.
The mayor said that he would only in.
