And the Captain Has Made a
Confession, Says Friend
OF Or. Cook.
A SCHEME TO GET MONEY
HE HAD AGREED TO CALL YES
TERDAY AND SIGN CONFESSION
or HIS CROOKED WORK, BUT
FAILED TO SHOW UP.

OsDOH, Oh lnlS CITY, secretary OF LnS
Arctic club, has written Captain Jos
+. Bernier and others that Captain
August w. Losses story of his deal
ings with DR.. Cook, as published in d
New York newspaper, was cOncocted
for sale without regard to the truth
I'm the presence of Witnesses" said
Captain Osbon last night, Il heard
Loose say: I was out for the money
and l didn't care how l got it,"
Captain Osbon does not believe that
Loose's narrative, as supported by
his affidavits, was a part of any plot
to discredit Cook.
THE idea originated with Loose
and Dunkle," said Captain Osbon
They had for sale in this controversy
explosive matter that nobody dared
handle. When they found that out
they cast about for something else.
DunkIe Got Money.
"Dunkle was the promoter, Loose
the workman: also, Dunkle got most
of the money. That's what Loose
says, and now he is casting around to
science and it smarts."
Il wrote these facts in private let
tiers to Captain Bernier and others,
and the premature publication is a
mistake and may spoil what would
have been complete documentary
proof of my assertion, sworn to be-
fore notary.
Loose had an appointment today to
sign a confession which has already
been drawn up. He did not appear,
and now he has just "a hours grace.
II he does not sign tomorrow the sub
stance of the address will then be
printed from notes Of the converse
tons on which it is based"
Influence on Loose.
Captain Osbon was not at liberty to
name the person who had obtained
and drafted the confession. "A ship
owner" he designated him, "a former
employer of Loose and a man who has
personal influence with him."
How did this man prevail on
Loose to confess?" was asked.
"He told Loose straight out" said
checkers with his own nose"
Captain Osbon does not deny that
DR.. Cook and Loose had dealings and
money passed between them, but he
said: 81 know enough shipmates of
the doctor who went into the Antarc-
tic with him to be sure the doctor
needed nobody to fabricate observa-
lions for him. No doubt he set prob
lens for Loose by which to check
his own calculations"
DunkIe Denies Confession.
George Dunkle made the following
statement last night:
Yesterday Captain Loose showed
me copy of a letter he had received,
inviting him to make a clean breast
of 1t. l told him that he ought to re-
member that he had already made
one affidavit, and that any contradic-
ton of that affidavit over his sigma
ture would make him out liar in
one instance or the other.
"He told me that he had never
made any verbal confession, and
therefore he did not intend to make
written one, although he had been in
formed that there was $4,000 on de-
post that would be turned over to him
the minute he put his signature to a
confession"
In the foregoing Dunkle gave the
name Of the man who he said. had
made this offer to Captain Loose.
