Carroll. July 1.-The confession of
Henry Clark, the negro in Jail here for
the shooting of Brakemen Warner and
Brechtel, of the %. & n. W., is the
only new development in the case.
Wednesday Chief Detective Riley. of
the Northwestern service, accompanied
by Assistant Stewart, came to Carroll
and with Sheriff Hamilton had an in
terview with Clark. After a few pre-
liminaries the black man told the de-
tectives to get paper and pencils and
he would tell the truth about what had
happened the night of the shooting.
His story followed.
He said that after the train started
out from Vail he and his partner We're
on the flat car fitted out with an oil
tank. The two brakemen boarded the
car from the front and passed to the
rear toward them. Warner handing his
lantern to Brechtel started toward
Hubbard, Clark says, saying at the
same time that he would throw that
black - - - - under the wheels"
Seeing that there was trouble ahead
and that he was likely to be thrown
off the train by Warner, who had given
his light to the other brakeman, Clark
says, he ran to the rear and climbed to
the top of the box car. Without wait
ing any longer, SO he states, he began
to shoot from his elevated position 1t
is now known that several shots missed
and hit the end of the oil tank. He
then climbed down and both jumped
from the moving train. He gave the
revolver to Hubbard, who reloaded be-
fore they made their way to Manila,
where they were captured.
On Thursday County Attorney Kiln
ker, of Crawford county, came here
and the confession of Clark was taken
down formally. Brechtel. who fingers
at the point of death at the hospNal.
made supplementary statement to
the county attorney. He corroborated
Clark's statement so far as it-related to

part of these anonymous parties.
which Immediately led up to the rash
act of the girl, was the writing of a
letter to her which contained what an

The girl took the matter to heart

apparently were healing nicely, the at
tending physician was confident from
the start that there was but little
chance Of saving her life One of the
burns in the throat failed to heal and
developed into an ulcer which ate its
way thru and into the windpipe. About
a week ago she began to grow rap;a,y
worse, until death relieved her from
her suffering and troubles, at an early
hour yesterday morning. A week or so
ago she was brought in from the home

General Agent Miller, of the Val
Blatz Brewing Co., booked losing
of $485 in gold in the saloon adjoin.
ing the Eddy Livery last evening,
and to date no trace of the missing
coin has been found.
Miller was in the act OF "buying'
for the crowd at the bar when his
attention was diverted for mo-
ment, leaving his sack of sitnoleons
on the bar as he turned his hack.
When he again set his face toward
the mahogany there was no sack in
sight-nor is there any particular
cause for believing it will again
come in sight, although one Of the
by-standers in the place put in sew
eral hours in durance vile in an at.
tempt to "sweat" something out of
him. He refused to sweat gold, how.
ever, and the brewery agent will
likely always remember that had
he spent his money faster he would
not have had 30 much to lose.

Rich and Poor Criminals.

II poor man impeIled by his
poverty succumbs to temptation
and robs wood pile or coal yard

is regarded a. Il :e,ri''r example OF
human depravity, and if caught he
is usually speedily sentenced to
prison. There are no motions for a
new trial, neither are efforts made
to have the sentence suspended or
the prison term shortened on some
himsy pretext. Is this because the
man is poor and therefore stern
example must be made Of !;,no
But if the wrong-doer hAtps rs ~
be member of a gigantic trus,
that has robbed the public-no, to
stave off poverty but to swell al
ready gigantic fortunes, all the ma
chinery possible is set in motion to
prevent trial or, if that cannot be
prevented, to secure his acquittal
through some legal technicality
If, in spite of all efforts put forth,
the man is found guilty, then still
more machinery operates to prevent
the law from taking its course.
Such inequality of justice is too
often seen, and it breeds disconten,
and gives color to the idea that
there is one law for the rich and an
other law for the poor, especially
when the poor criminal is sent to
prison while the trust criminal, if
pronounced guilty, is let off with
fine which he can at once pay with
out.teeling the loss. Before the law,
in practice as we'll as in theory,
there should be no difference be.
