ADAMS ADMITS
CONFESSION
Error in Dates May Help His
Case

After that Adams said that be saw
Mcfarland and Theile a number of
times and that on the way to Orchard
he had told Theile about how he had
made the confession for Mcfarland
regarding the Idaho business. Theile
asked Adams about Simpkins and got
q description Of what Simpkins looked
like and where he was likely to be
found, from him. He denied ever
talking with Theile about relics Of
any sort except watch charm which
he was wearing at the time an which
SimPkins had given him. Theiie
asked him if he had his union cards
and il he had shotgun and Adams
replied that he had. Mrs. Adams
was present at this time and Adams
had told her that the union cards
were in his pocket book. When Mrs.
Adams heard this she laughed and
wrote on piece of paper to Steve
that This wedding present. was in
his pocket-book AS we'll, and both Of
them laughed.
He MADE ANSWERS.
Referring to the copy of the confess
sion which had been handed Chin
knight asked him whether the an
swers on page | are the answers he
gave Mcfarland. Adams real over a
whole page Of the confession and adj
mitted that they were. The confess
sion was taken page by page and
Adams practically ADMITTED every an
swer, with the exception Of one an
swer on page 8, where 1t stated that
he had been given 500 by Mason.
McParland had wanted him to state
that 500 had been given him by
Simpkins for the purpose of implicat-
ing the Western Federation of Miners
in the Marble creek vendetta, but
Adams refused to do it and agreed to
use the name of Mason instead, Simp-
kins having been a member of the ex.
ecutive board Of the Western Fedora
ton. When Knight had asked him
regarding his replies on every page of
the confession and when they were
about to the sixth page Adams ap-
peared i'll at ease, ard replied: II
believe that these are the answers Civ.
en- by me, but deny everything in
this statement connected with the
crime. -
DIRECTED ALTERATIONS.
In connection with the alterations
in Huebner's handwriting Adams ad-
mitted that many Of these had been
made by Huebner in conformity with !
Adams direction. The statement
would appear to contradict Adams
previous testimony in which he said
that he had only glanced at the state
ment before signing it. Adams ad-
mitted that Mcfarland told him when
trying to get the confession that he
was a detective and wanted it for the
purpose of convicting the officers Of
the Western Federation, but Adams
was unable to state how the confession
dealing with the murder of Tyler and |
Boule implicated any of these men,
not even Simpkins.
The greater part of Adams testi
mony simply corroborated the testi-
mony already given by himself or
other witnesses, but a new feature to
the Mcfarland interview was brought I
out when Adams testified to the effect t
that while he was swearing to the con-
fession he remarked to Mcfarland .
81 am signing away my rights TO
live, " and Mcfarland replied This .
paper cannot show our promises TO
you, but you will be all right and we .
will stand by you" There we're no
witnesses to this conversation.
