He was stupefied for a minute and

"Oh, yes, l got the confession all

while We were cleaning out the ice

Another somewhat similar expert
ence, but one that had far more Sc
rious possibilities, occurred in the
Coast Mountains, where Burns had
trailed murderer. He had been
hanging about the little hamlet in the
role of tenderfoot for several weeks.
He well knew that his mission, if dis
covered, would prove very unpopular
with the inhabitants, inasmuch as they
had lynched the last Ely cop" who
had come there on a similar mission.
Burns was summing himself in front
of the village saloon one day. The
stiffness of the MONDAY was suddenly
broken by a cavalcade of cowpuncch-
ers as they dashed through the street,
their pistols barking and their whoops
announced their arrival

William j. Burns, the detective, thus
described the part he played in the
now celebrated case while chatting
with a reporter recently, following his
hurried trip from Philadelphia to New
York City Strange to say, this side
of the case he had studiously avoided
i'm talks with the scores of reporters
who besieged him during his flying
trip to New York. combining his re-
marks in the course of those inter-
views to denunciation OF Samuel Com
pers and other heads Of the labor
world.
In many instances the most i'm
porant and damaging evidence l got
was from the perpetrators Of these
outrages themselves" said Burns.
They little dreamed they were talk
ing to a detective, but so determined
were they to wreak vengeance on
those opposed to unionism that they
cast discretion to the four winds and
blurted out just what ! most ardently

by mingling with them as one of them,

Namaras."
When asked if any of his various
DISCUSSES had been penetrated during
his search for dynamite evidence, MI
Burns said:
ION that point | am bit hazy.
There were times when / thought they

of plans and makeup was necessary
and would have to approach my quar-.
ry from an entirely different angle.
But l do know that there were times
when, if my identity had been discov-
cred, my life would not have been
worth 30 cents"
Burns would not admit that he at
tended various meetings of labor
unions throughout the country, and in
the role of a member, but there was d
merry little twinkle in his eye accom-
panying the denial which might be in
terpreted several ways.
There have been other cases, and
big cases, too, in which Burns played
many roles before worming himself
into the confidence of the confederate
of the particular criminal he was seek
ing. Take the case of Charles Ulrich,
for instance. He was one Of the most
