STORY OF HIS NuMER-
Gus CRIMES.
..s He Is Only Too Willing to Pay
the Penalty for the Murder of

.,o Youthful murderer of Lou Conway,
CoattIe saloon keeper, who will soon

that will undoubtedly be snuffed out on

murder of Conway. For his share of
tne crime White says ne is only too
willing to pay for it with his miserable
life. Following are extracts from
Whites writings:
