thought that Rugg was possessed of
considerable money, as he had been
quite free with his cash during the
afternoon and evening" Green want
ed that money and the thought of
murder entered his heart. He went
up stairs In the coal chute, found a
coal pick and with this weapon in
his hands he returned to the bench
where Rugg was lying sound asleep.
Green states that he struck Rugg on
the head with the blunt end of the
pick. Rugg did not move, but was
dead in an instant. He then dragged
the body a distance of about two
hundred feet and laid his head on
the rails, expecting that the first
train would mangle his remains and
conceal the crime
Rifed Mans Pockets.
Green rifted the mans pockets be
fore placing his body on the railroad
tracks and extracted therefrOm near
ly SIS. Some of this money! five
dollar bill-he carried in his hat
band for several days and then
gave it to his brother-John Green.
stores. He was never known to
have money before
1t is reported from LIE Sueur that
on Wednesday a search was made of
the Green home and a ten dollar
bill was found therein.
Young Green told the detective
and the county attorney that after
killing jRugg he threw the pick over
the bank of the Minnesota river
Notwithstanding Green's confess
sion that he alone killed Rugg, a
great many people in LIE Suealr are
still of the belief that Green had
assistance. Green is a small man,
weighing about 100 pounds. His vic.
tim weighed more than 200 pounds,
and it would have been impossible
for Green to have dragged the body
200 feet along the ground, and be-
sides he could hardly have gotten
the body out from under the coal
chute alone, as there are a number
of beams and other Instructions
standing in the way of an easy exit.
There was no evidence that the
body had been dragged, nor were
the footprints made by Green and
whoever assisted him in carrying The
body the distance mentioned, obliter-
ated. Had the body been dragged
no tell-tale footprints would have
left their mark in the earth Those
who examined the spot where the
dead body, of Rugg was found de-
clare that the footprints gave evil
dence of several persons having had
a hand in committing the crime.
Masterson Informed Authorities.
On the morning following the MUIR
der Pat Masterson informed the au-
thorities that he had been drinking
with Rugg and that when he left
the coal chute on Saturday night
Green and Rugg were still together.
No one is of the belief that Mas
terson is guilty of either committing
the murder or being implicated in it
in any way. He is still held at the
LeSueur Center Jail and will be I'M
til August II when his case is sched-
uled for "a hearing. He may be
turned over to the authorities of
Nicollet county on the charge, of
stealing a gun from Pat Henrietta
in North Mankato.
