DYING
CONFESSION
YOUNG E!it! TELLS Es0DOC
LYHCHiNG.
Received Fatal Iojuries From
One of the Victims.

REDDING, April 9.-Strangely anH
terribly, as it were that an inscrutable
avenging fate had pursued him unpi.
ingly to his final retributive hour on
earth, WILLIAM Mcdaniel, a young man
Of Lookout, in Modoc county, died at
his home there few days ago.
AS he was dying Mcdaniel confided
to his relatives for the first time. that
he was a member of the band Of merci-
less outlaws who lynched five men and
boys at Lookout in April 1901 Then
for the first time also he explained to
them the cause of his long continued
and seemingly mysterious illness. A
blow in the abdomen, struck by one Of
the mob's victims during a struggle at
the bridge gallows. had caused an III
jury that grew in seriousness until
1T became fatal.
McDaniels participation in the afro
cious crime Of two years ago had never
even been suspected. The trials of
the men charged with the murders had
long ago been concluded, and the affair
itself had become little more than a
melOdOrOus memory. But for these
two yearsMcDaniel had gripped tight
ly his life destroying secret and borne
in desperate silence the agony Of the
wound one Of his victims had inflicted
and finally when death was near and
silence for safety's sake had become
a mockery, the man spread clear tn,
truth and passed away
Shortly after the lynching affair
Mcdaniel began to decline He grad
ually wasted away and it was be
lieved he had consumption, but ply
sicians could find no trace of tuber
culasis. Neither could they determil
the cause of the wasting illness.
/ When the dying man called his re.
atives about his bed he was extreme
| ly weak, but managed to tell fras
mentary story 1t was to the effec
that he was one of the mob that wen
out on a moonlight night in Apri
two years ago, to string up the fly'
men and boys whose presence til
mob considered a menace to the couii
try.

in the eyes of the church as he was not
baptized in the Catholic Church, and no
dispensation for the marriage was granted.

THREATENED WITH ASSASSINATION
Judge Cardwell who presided over the
City Court at Jackson, KY, and who
fined the two men brought before him on
the charge of firing Capt Ewen's hotel,
has received notice of a threat of assas-
sination, and has taken up his residence
in his store. He will be guarded by the
militia There is considerable anxiety
over the disappearance of Gray Haddick,
who testified to seeing Crawford and
Tharp, teamsters for Hargis, coming
away from Ewen's Hotel just before it
was burned. Following an assault on
the bridge one night, and threats to burn
him out, guards were placed around
Haddick's house, but the guards have
been removed and Haddick is missing.
He was the principal witness for the
arson cases to be considered by the grand
jury on July 20.
