REPORTERS STATEMENT
The next day after his arrest he was
taken out to Forest Dale, Mr. Penrose
asked him how much money he had
and he said he had three quart fruit
jars full of $40 gold pieces. Mr.. Sheets
heard that statement and corroborat-
ed Mr.. Penrose, Mr.. Game showed you
yesterday that II he had had three Jars
full he would have had between $i2, 900
and $4,000. II Peter Mortensen had

he ought to do something to clear HIM

the time came, and Mr., Morton said
he thought Ii was time then. He called
defendants attention to his interview
with Mr.. Jessup where he said that he
was surprised that Mr. Hay came after
the money that night. Peter M0rtensen
said: I didn't say that because l
knew he was coming after the money
Mr. Morton then asked him II he knew
whether or not any one heard him make
the arrangements with Hay ON the car,
20 come after the money that night.
His answer was that he didn't know
whether anyone heard him or not.
Those are the words from Peter Nor

ALPINE, Tex, Dec. II. Another futile
effort has Just been made to explor" the
shaft and underground Workings OF the
so-called haunted Rcfugio mine in the
Ihispa Mountains, sixty miles southwest OF
here.
The mine was worked hv the Spaniards
more than century ago. II was abandoned
and forgotten uni il about twenty years ago,
when an American mining engineer Henry
Boyd, while looking up the title toa Mexican
mining property. came across mention of

Saltillo. Mexico.
The records gave q careful description Of
the propert and it's location. They showed
that il was worked for forty years prior to
1901. and that it produced during that time
moro than s7,ooo,O 900 Of silver ore, n large
share Of the revenue derived from I he mine
going to the Crown OF Spain.
Mr. Boyd was greatly surprised AZ the
information contained in the records and
proceeded to make a copy of them with the
view Of locating the lost mine. Accompani, d
by Mexican guide, no left Saltillo for the
Chi-pa Mountains.
II was long and fa'igring trip. and the

MISSISSIPPI STILL
STIRRED BY SCANDAL
PENITENTIARY. REPORT CAUSES
NO END OF TALK-MAY CUT A
FIGURE IN NEXT eUBER-
Material RACE.

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 16.-Like Ban
quo's ghost the penitentiary committee s
report continues to stalk through the halls
of the legislature. The senate seems to
be unable TO get off the subject For
three days IL has talked about the report,
but it has all been talk, for nothing has
been accomplished. The investigation
seems to be such good thing that the
senate wants more of Ii. 1t has passed
a joint resolution calling on the commit
tee to sit further, examine more witnesses
and take more testimony. Senator Moore
said on the floor of the senate. that since
the first report was submitted, that he
had heard of more damaging evidence
against the management of the peniten-
tiary, but he did not state who was in
vOlved in this new evidence and left the
senate and the public to uraw its own
conclusions.
That there is politics in the report
seems to be no doubt, and the way things
are shaping themselves right now, it looks
like the report may play a prominent
part in the next gubernatorial election.

A RUSSIAN PEASANT ASKS
THE POLICE TO KILL HIM

Michael Gotzintzky, cold from exposure
and faint from hunger. stepped into the
police station Thursday night and asked
some good policeman to please Kill him.
Michael was not insane, not drunk, but
man, a native OF Russia. who scarcely
knew the English language, out Of work
without friends or acquaintances and
weary. He saw little ahead Of him but
suffering OF the most intense kind, and
In the end death by starvation.
He sought what he thought was the
proper place. He walked into the sta
ton and meekly, though earnestly asked
that death be made the balm to heal all
his suffering and end his misery.
Gotzintzky is about IS years OF age. He
can not be easily understood In English
and this probably prevented him from
finding the work which he longed for. He
has been here about three months.
He was given a warm supper and bed
for the night by the policemen. He ate
ravenously. He devoured every crunb
and then said he felt better. He was al
lowed to go TO bed. and next morning
awoke much refreshed.
Gotzintzky wants work some where as
a gardener. He is a hard working man,
simple but earnest. and IL he can secure
the work he desires will again be happy.
