this part of the program, 1t was final
ly concluded that a priest should be
sent for and that he was to meet the
prisoner in room in the custom
house. There was number of large
wardrobes, or armoires as they were
called in New Orleans, In the room.
These were used for storing books.
Some of them were removed from
one, giving room for man to enter.
When the good father and O'Rafferty
came and took a seat near this
armoire, they surely did not notice
that it's door was just little ajar.
Father NJ soon came out of the
room. There was an expression of
sadness upon his face, but he said
nothing that could throw any light
upon the robbery; yet it was quite ap-
parent that something unusual had
happened. Something had, and now
possessed the clue needed.
It was dark when I arrived at the
corner Of White and Clio streets and
knocked at the front door Of a small

opened by a middle-aged man. in

ly conscientious. He refused to make
a charge. Consequently took the
responsibility of holding the prisoner
and locking him In cell where he
was not allowed to converse with any
outsider.
After few days of confinement he
appeared quite down-hearted and
begged to be permitted to see his wife.
The meeting between the husband
and wife at their home was quite af-
fecting, yet there was no development
that would suggest guilt I now de-
termined to give O'Rafferty a little
jolt for the purpose Of frightening
him into a confession.
In the corridor, at a little distance
from his cell, person inquired:
What are they going to do with
O'Rafferty?" In as earnest manner
as could command I answered that
he was to be hung on the following
morning at nine o'clock, by order of
the commanding general. O'Rafferty,
Of course, heard the conversation that
was intended for his ears.
There was at this time prevailing
fear among many that General Butler
was liable to hang almost anyone. My
ruse had it's effect, as O'Rafferty now
began to sob and groan. stepped in
side his cell and made an effort to
console him, assuring him that I was
very sorry, but that nothing could
be done to help him unless he would
give up the money.
He was Catholic and begged that
he might see priest. / thought he
wanted to make a confession, and
went at once to the custom house to
consult Major -, and CHANGED to
meet the postmaster, who was Cen
eral Buffers brother-in-law. When
explained the situation and the posi-
bility of confession, he said it would
do no good to let him confess to a
priest, who would divulge nothing that
was told him, and suggested Major
Farr, chaplain of Connecticut regi-
ment. Don't try to fool Catholic"
I said, "but let us secure a real

Justice Pendleton found that Mrs

Mrs Gamblers effort at reconcile
