CONFESSED TO COM.
KNITTING MANY CRIMES
Execution of Welch MpfdeIers
Was Successful.
Gorman Tells Of other Crimes He
Had Committed and for Which
Another Is Serving life Sentence.

As stated in last Fridays TRIBUNE
TIA four murderers of Jack Welch
were hung in the State penitentiary.
in the old shoe factory, at Carson last
Friday. The message of the hanging
came just before going to press, hence
the details of the confession were
meager.
It is much satisfaction to the offic-
ers and public generally to have the
criminals confess their guilt before
the execution, for although there was
little doubt as to the guilt of these
condemned men, it makes assurance
doubly assure, to hear the confession
of the crime from their own lips.
All except Roberts acknowledged
their part in committing the murder,
but he stolidly refused to say word.
Germans statement was that Roberts
was with them on the train, but took
no part in the crime.
Following is Germans statement of
their actions on the night of the
crime: 4 met these men in Reno
first. We left Lovelock on the train
that night. Linderman, Sevener,
Roberts and |. Roberts was on the
train by himself: Sevener saw man
sitting on the car by the engine
Three of us went up to the man,
back several cars, and robbed him.
While the train was running slow.
seven or eight miles an hour, We put
the man off. When the train got mp
to Rye Patch, | believe, the train was
passing another train, coming the
other way. Sevener got young Rob
erts and had him get off the train
with US and go back to Lovelock, as
be knew the train would be searched
at Humboldt House.
I'VE then got on the train and
while walking over the cars, Roberts

man behind, we met three men, two
sitting on one car, one on another.

this the other man jumped up and

G0vegAOR SPARKS THANKS
GIVING PROCLAMATION.

In accordance with the expressed
desire of the President of the United
States, and in conformity to custom
long established, | hereby designate
and proclaim Thursday, November 30,
1905, as Thanksgiving Day. and rec
omend that the people of the State
of Nevada render thanks to God for
the numessous favors and blessings,
both State and National. bestowed up
on rs during the year now drawing to
close Nevada has made great pro-
gress; permanent developments of re-
sources contrihutory to the happiness
and comfort of our people have been
made; population has INCREASED; capi-
tai has found remuneratiYe Investment
in all business lines, and from no
source has failure followed prudent
management. Railroads are being
built and extended; mines have been
discovered and developed; water stor-
age and distribution have been inaug-
urated by the General Government,
which will, when applied to the soil.
make possible the reclamation of
thousands OF acres of land to be dedi-
Gated to home-seekers with small
means.
In consideration of the blessings
enumerated thankful hearts should
upon the day named remember the
poor and needy that they may also re-
joice in thankfulness, Churches and
schools, heing prime factors in religion
and education, should receive due en-
couragement to the end that all may
enjoy the occasion according to their

when he did that pointed my gun at
him and made him lie down on the
car"
While was searching him the
other two men were searching Welch
and Waldman. Roberts stood over
toward the end of the car and took
no part in either of the holdups, only
as a witness. The other two men,
Waldman and Welch, were put off the
train while | was robbing Kelly. We
then went into Lovelock and went to
the Owl saloon, the four of US, where
we were later arrested.
Roberts never had any gun during
all the time he was with us.
While we were robbing the men,
shots were fired. We were all drunk
at the time and none of us knew that
Welch had been injured"
Compare this statement with the
Identification that poor Jack Welch
made upon his death bed and judge
for yourself which is correct: 1.-The
prisoners were taken two at a time
into the room in which Welch lay dy.
ing. Besides DR. Giroux, Hospital
Superintendent Hurst, the District
Attorney and officers there We're
several other persons present. Cor
man and Roberts, the latter mete
boy, we're brought into the room first.
Welch, who was very weak but per-
fectly conscious, was first asked if he
knew German. Looking at him in
tently for a moment, he said: Yes,
you were one of the men that robbed
me, bat you did not shoot me-" When
asked the same question as to Roberts
Weleh's eyes lighted at once with rec
ognition and he exclaimed, Eyes, you
shot me; you know you shot me- AS
his accuser uttered these words Rob-
ert's was the picture of ahject fear.
His face paled and his body shook
like one suffering from ague," as re-
ported in the Humboldt Standard at
the time.
But the one redeeming act of Cor
mans life is the following confession
of robbery committed in California
in 1898, and for which a man named
Barker is serving a life sentence:
Il, Thomas German, being first duly
sworn, upon my oath, depose and say:
That in this, my dying statement,
this man, whose name is Barker, an
Englishman Il forget his initials), was
in the court with me, in Judge Wal
lace's court room, Barker being tried
for robbery, and was sentenced to life

Children well Cared For.

The agent sent out by the New
York Foundlings hospital to investi-
gate the charges that the children
placed by that institution in Russian
homes in this state were not properly
cared for, makes the following re-
port:
;S III After a careful consideration OF
the whole situation we were unable
to find any valid objection to the
policy Of placing children from this
state with the German Russian farm
ers Of North Dakota, provided the
homes are visited and found to be
satisfactory by a representative Of the
hospital before the children are
placed out.
In this connection it appears to
me important for the board to at
tempt to set desirable standard for
all placing out work, including the
making of reports and the keeping of
records, and ! would accordingly
.recomend that it cause pamphlet on
this subject to be prepared for gen.
eral circulation #
