turned from the scene of the scrime
when Uric was brought from his cell
to the prisoners consulting room,
adjoining the sheriff'ss office, and
in the presence of District Attorney
Callahan and Sheriff Lamb made a
full and acomplete confession of the
holdup and murder.

self and J. F. TANNER, the man VIII
was arrested with him; and exhon-
crates the othe suspect named Dun
can, who was arrested by Sheriff
Lamb Monday. The sheriff found
Duncan in hiding ma saloon at I'M
lay and took him along, on general
principals of suspicion
Uric was brought into Court after
tho judge had informed him tht aa.
thing he might say, could be useu
qgainst him in the trial, he said:
Il wish to testify and tell the
whole story, the same as l did to Mr.
Lamb and Mr.. Callahan, (here refer
ing to his confession made to the

every thing l know And then Uri
after being sworn, told his story of
the terrible crime. Throughout he
manifested considerable nervousness
shown mainly by the trembling of
his fingers, and these he tried to
control by keeping his hands tightly
clasped togather.
He gave no signs of emotion at an
time though it was easy to see that
he appreciated the position he was
placed in by the confession, and he
evidently placed reliance upon some
mitigation of punishment by his stor
that Trammer had forced him to 9
take part in the murder, by the
threats that he would Kill him If he
refused. Urie's statement is as fol-
