Vickery Admits 1t.

Mr.. Vickery informed Judge Armstrong
that what Sullivan said was true. He
had prepared the affidavit hurriediV.
without comforting with Sullivan, and the
name of the wrong railroad depot had
been inserted. Mr. Nickery took all of
the blame upon himself.
Sullivan ended by telling the details of
his long trip from Salt Lake to Port
land, during which he went without food
for twenty-fOur hours at a stretch He
left Salt Lake with $50 and was PEN
niless when he reached San Francisco
After a rest of three days, he continued
his journey. He claimed that when he

he was without money.

Profits Not Excessive.

Mr.. Metcalf and Chief Constructor
Capps both declared they knew of no
excessive profits being realized on the
submarines, and the former held that
the navy department should be allowed
to arrange the details of the types of
boats.
Admiral Caps quoted unofficial fig
ures to show that the English subma-
rine boats have cost that country more
than this class of boats have cost this
government.
Regarding the number Of submarine
boats this government could use Ad-
miral Capps said an addition of ten
would be by no means in excess of the
requirements of the defense of the
country.

In a sIiaht TanaIe.

When Sullivan described the visit with
Garcia TO the Belchers' loom in the old
Kimball house. he was caught i'm a slight
tangle by District Attorney Loofbourow.
He first said that Garcia talked of Ieav-
ing Salt Lake and said that he thought
that he might travel with the porch
climber if he were going his way Later,
he said that he had no intention of go
ing with Garcia, but when his testimony
was read TO him, he quietly asserted that
his first statement was correct.
Cor corning the revolver. Garcia had
given to him, Sullivan declared that il
had not been loaded from the time he
left Salt Lake to the day when he was
captured. He said that the weapon was
so rusty from long disuse that it could
rot be used
Some excitement was caused when Mr..
LOOfbOuroW produced an affidavit, sworn
to by Sullivan, asking for a postponement
of his trial while search was being made
for man who had seen him at the Den
yer * Rio Grande depot on the morning
of December IA. Sullivan stated that he
was not at the Denver & Rio Grande sta
ton on That morning, having parted with
Garcia and Owen at the Oregon Short
Line depot. He said that his lawyer, r.
Il. Vicnery, had given the affidavit TO
him to sign one evening at the peniten-
tiary, where he is being confined. In
his haste he had affixed his signature
without reading the document He had
never sworn to it. although it bore the
notary seal of J. II. Bailey, jr.

Parts From His Pals.

We went outside of the Belcher place
after eating and stood talking on the side

that If l would go inside until he changed
his shoes he would walk part of the way
to the Oregon Short Line yards with me.
as l was determined 20 get out of Salt
Lake. Owen said that he would remain
outside and wait for US, so Garcia and ]
re-entered The Belcher room.
We walked 10 the Continental saloon
but did not so inside, going instead
