go to the deputy's office at Kendall.
The Democrat reporter got an in
terview iwth Patrick Rodgers on Sat
urday, though at first he was not too
willing to grant it, owing to the fact,
as he said, that the Butte newspaper
men had given him the worst of it.
His story seems to be a straight one
and his body bears marks corrobora-
tive of his statements. The story,
as told to the Democrat is as fol-
lows:
"All the trouble was over relation
of mine called Leonard" said Rodg-
ers. II dropped around to the ST.
Lawrence saloon and found him drunk
and beat up; he had been in a row
up on Broadway. Kane, the bartender
asked me to take him home; he lived
at my mothers place. l started with
him and after had taken him few
blocks he hauled off and smashed me.
This made me SO mad that | knocked
him down, though l don't hit such
drunken guys as rule, and in the
scuffle both our hats fell off and
got his by mistake. He got the best
of the trade because mine was new
one. l left him and after awhile went
back to the st. Lawrence saloon,
where l found him lying over table
dead drunk with the hat that belong
ed to me beside him.
II walked over and picked up the
hat and left his in its place. The
bartender run out from behind the
bar and made a swipe at me. tried
to avoid trouble and ducked several
swings until | had to smash him.
Kane walked behind the bar and
started to wipe the blood off his face
and was talking to the gang, talking
kind Of sarcastic and saying that
Leonard was all beat up, as if | had
done it, While he was talking he
reached for a piece of gas pipe that
lay behind the bar and smashed me
and knocking me down. AS lay on
the floor | caught him by the knees
and pulled him on top of me and we
rolled around until l began to feel
myself again, when the gang in the
house, in which Burke was mixed,
grabbed chairs and billiard cues and
bartender picked up chair and
caught hold of him and swung around
so that | was near the door, when
friend of mine pulled me out to the
sidewalk There was a rock on the
sidewalk, and | admit that I threw
it through the window.
After l had been out there for a
few minutes | found that l had lost
gold nugget that | had on my watch
chain and | walked to the door, where
l saw the gang kicking my hat around
and having general rough house.
| wanted my hat and the nugget, and
| went and got two guns and went
in l took the drop on Kane, as
was not going to let him get another
poke at me with the gas pipe and
asked him for my stuff He plead
for his life and l told him l wouldn't
shoot such a guinea as him. About
that time Burke walked up and smash
cd mo with a oh air -
This was as far as Rodgers went
but when asked if he shot Burke at
that time he said that he did. He
stated that he was in bed and unable
to move for four days and could not
eat anything on account of the smash
in the mouth he got from Kane.
Rodgers mentioned that he was in
town for couple of weeks after the
killing and since then has been work
ing in different parts of the state.
