meal by City Attorney Cathcart. assist
ing the coroner, corroborated all details
Of the murder az put together by Dep
nty Sheriff Rose from his own Observa-
tions and the circumstantial evidence
secured. The confession was hardly
needed, as that evidence. and particn
larly Toogood's 3 footprints at the scene
Of the murder, which could not be mis-
taken owing to different soles on each
loot, was sufficient to convict.
Toogood made one more bluff last
night before he finally admitted the
bloody crime. when he told Cathcart,
Rose and McDufie that barber at the
Magoon block had committed it. All
three officers, in his company, went to
the Magoon block, but the barber
could not be found On the way back
McDuflie asked him what use this par.
tieular tale would he to him. as If they
had found the barber ii would be but
one more lie against him.
Decides to Tell All.
Five minutes after he had been put
back in the cell he told Turnkey Fred
Iaukea that he wanted to tell every
thing, and McDufie was sent for. He
preluded his statement by saying that
a prisoner named Joe Bush, who was
being held for investigation, had kept
telling him not to say anything, al
though he had wanted to confess long
ago. He wound up by asking McDuffie
if they would hang him. McDufie left
that up to the court.
When he was brought before the
Jury. Cat6cart first told him plainly
that anything he said could and prob
ably would be used against him. Asked
if he wished to make statement, he
whispered assent, and was told to be-
gin. Tt was some minutes before he
could bring himself to speak, and when
he did the jurors had to lean forward
in their chairs to hear him.
