1870 O'Clock this morning. after
four hours Of sweating at the hands
Of Detectives Hodgkins and Flynn. En-
land II. Soderberg confessed to the
cold-blooded and brutal murder of his
aged mother. Mrs. Martha E. Soder-

Saturday night.

Dazed with the thought OF his deed
the young stevedore described the
crime-as ghastly, as horrible as any
ever Derpetrated.
~AES, KILLED HER.
Yes killed her he said at last
broken by the relentless cross -ques-
tioning Of the detectives after they
had pictured the bloody deed.

always nagEing al me for more money.

and the blood spurted out on me. She
struggled frantics1ly and I cut her
several times in the abdomen and on

pool OF blood. and her dead body was
lying beside me.

towels, washed the blood of it as much
IS could. wrapped IT in blankets and

This horrible confession OF the grew
some rnatricioe came at the end OF q
dramatic recital OF the crime as the
detectives imagined IT. After hours OF
Questioning and crosscuestionfng had
failed to force Soderberg into a con-
fession. Hodgkins and Flynn turned 10
the young prisoner and told him the
story Of the murder as they conceived
il. assuring him that they had proof TO
subsfsntiate the facts and send him TO
the Eallows.
Soderberg listened nervousfy, twitch-
ing from side TO side as the recital
progressed. but there was no sign OF
hysteris, no evidence OF sorrow for the
deed he had done.
The detectives had practically de-

Company
Samuel Jacoby, agent of the United States Inde-

against Ruef and the Supervisors.
The company Jacoby represents did not take the in

Willing to pay the city what it deemed fair price

Company had not been long in the field before learned
that the privilege had been secured irreguary by the
Home Company and that it would be useless to compete
with the influences then existing.
FIGURED FRANCHISE WORTH $1,0OOOO0
Dr. Ferdinand ButterfeId who was ntrusted with
the mission of securing the franchise for the United
States Independent Company, estimated that it would
be worth at least $0OO00O to the municipality He knew
from experience that the bidding of competitors had
forced the price of the Home Company franchise Oak

When Butterfeld finally learned that the Home Com

like privileges that could be secured by the United States
Independent Company

course of time into possession of all the plans out
lined by the latter.
NO DIFFICULTY, rs RUEF'S ASSURANCE
Ruef gave positive that there would be
difficulty in arranging matters. "
The United States Independent Company was ex-

business with Ruef and the negotiations with him ended
abruptly
