When he came out Of the ONCE or
Circuit Attorney Folk, Gutke gave out
written extracts from his confession Of
which the following is a part:
''The best reparation that I can make
for the wrongs I have done is to con-
fess fully to everything in order that
the public may realize what has been
going on. Yielding to the pleadings OF
my wife ( have determined to do all

a member of the combine and that

900: on the Central Traction bill we got
$4,000: on the Third Street Line bill we
got $4,000; on the Lightning bill We
got $4,000; on the Suburban bill we
were to get $4,000 which is now in the
safe deposit box in the Lincoln Trust
Co., being placed there with the agree
ment that it should be turned over to
us when the bill had been passed. The
bride prices were fixed in meetings
of the combine.
"Then we would select an agent OF

and receive the money. This agent
would distribute the money among US.
