Rochester before we went to Australia.
MIDAS diamonds have no similarity
to Bessie's. I went to Battle Creek
with Jennie and Andrews of Holyoke.
Mass. for a few days and then Jennie
went home. I looked around the big
cities and In New York I ran against
Nulda for the first time In my life.
Yet the police say she was with me in
Colorado Springs. She was in the East
all the time was in Colorado.
In few days the papers came out
with the murder mystery of Mount
Cutler. Col. and as Bessie and ! had
been on Mount Cutler and all through
the canyon several times on horseback.
1t caught my eye. The remains were
identified as those OF Bessie Bouton.
The liveryman at Mount Cutler says
that he heard the SHOT fired the 10th or
27th of October. 4eft there the 5th
of October and i was 1000 miles away
from Mount Cutler and was accused of
being her murderer because we had had
quarrels.
'If had committed murder would
have drawn the $500 which j had in
the Hibernia Bank of New Orleans and
made my escape. consulted my
brother at Hartford. Conn, and he told
me he had seen in a colorado paper
where the citizens OF Colorado were
preparing to lynch me. SO lied to Aus
tralia with Nulda, where 1 played
poker most of the time.'
Was Not I'm Connecticut.
Andrews then states that Mrs. Bos-
worth was murdered August ., 1904
at New Britain, Conn. 81 was all that
summer in Denver. taking treatment
of DIR. Serman Williams" he says
We travelled under the name of G.
Bouton and wife,
Andrews then goes into a history OF
htu To-
tic terms. Speaking of the Ellis af-
fair, when he attempted to murder the
latter in Berkeley after his arrival here
from Australia, he says that his as
sault was made as the result of a
gamblers quarrel, in which Nulda was
the bone of contention.
Il told Nu1da," says Andrews. that
1t was his life or mine, and that ]
would kill him for two reasons:
First, what he had done to her
and. second. that he would tell the
police liz we had another quarrel, az
had told him in confidence that
was fugitive from justice. A man
who makes money at gambling. as
do. does not have to murder people
for few hundred dollars"
He recited at length the story OF
his crooked methods of gambling In
| which Ellis was a partner and of this
big winnings which he claims to have
made. He further claims that the al.
legged attempt to shoot Ellis at Dia.
| mond Head, Honolulu, on the way uT
from Australia, was lie, saying: "As
was too sick to climb the mountains
and Ellis wanted revenge for the
crack / gave him on the head" He
then says:
Wanted to Marry Nuldn.
After 1 am cleared of my trials,
want the Judge to arrange for me
divorce from my minated Holyoke
wife SO / can marry Nulda. Nulda
Is to be entirely free of any charge
in case I surrender and no charge Is
to be brought against her and no
sweating of any description. The peo-
pie who are hiding us are not to be
prosecuted"
An examination of Andrews after
the bodies were taken to the morgue
brought to light the large diamond
ring he was known to wear, also the
oval-shaped ring Of csuster of small
diamonds that the woman wore. In a
purse was found $3.50 in gold and an
English sovereign. An emblem of a
fraternai order lodge and a gold watch
and chain completed the property
found on Andrews.
No property of Importance was found

was evidence, too. that they were pre-
pared for flight when the end came.
