MAKES M0RTENSEN TIRED.
Prisoner Talks of Lurid "Pipe
Dreams" of Newspapers.


Peter Mortensen is sore" His dis
pleasure is caused by the publication
o. report which purports TO be an
authentic account Of how he killed Hay.
The report which MOrtensen saws is a
pipe dream" is quoted as coming
from reliable authority, and sets forth
in detail the manner in which Morten-
sen is alleged to have told some one
he killed Hay.
The report states that according to
authentic information. MOrtensen and
Hay left the formers house about $50
the night of the murder, and walked
about Forest Dale talking over some
proposition which MOrtensen had men
toned to Hay. AS the story goes they
wandered by the railroad track, across
cattle guards and down the track.
while Mortensen made a proposition to
Hay for the latter to give him the re-
ceipt for the debt and claim that he
had been robbed while on the wav
home, offering to divide his recent col
lections with Hay if the latter would
consent. Hay of course refused, at
cOrding to the story, and Mortensen
then to save himself shot and killed his
friend and neighbOr. He then buried
the body and burned the hat and his
Sill next udg- HIS is All Ola stuff
that has been rumOred about but in
which no credence has been placed.
MOrtensen, when seen in his cell last
night, was surprised to learn that an
alleged confession had been secured.
You can say for me" said he, that
] know nothing about this sO-caIled
confession. If they printed the details
of how Hay was killed. they have
learned something more than I know. I
don't see how a man can tell how a
murder was committed when ne dOesn' [
know himself anything about it,

port goes out that 1 have made a strong
denial, then the next day 1 have weak
ened; finally it goes forth that have
confessed. Tt seems TO me they would
stop this nonsense some time. but
guess it is d case Of short of news
and they got some one to smoke the
pipe"

HUBBARD GOES FREE
Charge Against Real Estate Man
Dismissed on Motion of Dis

District Attorney Eichnor secured
the dismissal yesterday Of four Grim
inal cases wherein he deemed the testi-
mOny insufficient to convict.
Chief among the cases was that of w
l.. Hubbard, the wei known real estate
man, who was charged with assault
upon Helen Knox, d girl of tender
years. As the testimony was stronger
in the first case upon which he was ac-
quilted than in the one now dismissed,
Mr.. Eichnor naturally did not believe
a conviction possible, and hence asked
for d dismissal.
The other cases dismissed were as
follows: Ephraim Madsen. assault with
deadly weapon with intent to do
bodily harm; James Mullett and James
Martin, grand larceny; Andrew Muir
