rjblo Crime.

In t h village lookup at
Grasston, Kanabec county, a
16 year old Minneapolis boy told
yesterday how he had killed an
unarmed man in cold blood.
He related how, interrupted in
the robbery of Kanabec set.
ler's cabin by the approach of
the settler, he drew a revolver,
waited the approach of the
settler, deliberately shot him
down in the cabin threshold,
rifled the pockets of the dead
man and left the cabin. He
told the story u"concernedly,
as a 16-year-old boy might tell
of killing his first rabbit.
The boy was Eugene Thomas
who gave himself up TO the
authorities in Minnea p o l.. q
Thursday. The man he killed
was r. N. Winters, who lived
IN a settlers cabin near the
village of Mora.
Men who heard Thomas mar
rative, the county attorney and
the sheriff, men whose business
is dealing with crime, said last
night that the story of the boy,
a confession of approximately
5000 words, is document
which has no counterpart in
the history of the state. 1t is
the story of a boys career in a
big city; story of yellow back
ed novels; of the bandit days of
childhood; of a boys longing
or the career of an outlaw; of
visions of robbery and wealth ;
first boyish prank; of the steps
which led to the final tragedy;
of a mans death and q boys
arrest on a charge of cold
blooded murder.
BOY CALM AFTER ORDEAL.
Last night the boy who told
the story and who told it only
after he had calmly looked at
pictures of the cabin in which
the settler was murdered and
of the settler lying dead on the
floor, slept peacefully on a cot
IL the village Jail. The men
who had heard the boy tell his
story did not sleep.
The lifeless body of r. N.
Winters was found on the
threshold of his cabin late last
Tuesday. Revolver bullets were
in his head. Winters had been
a recluse, a man who attended
to his own business. He had
no enemies.
In corner in the cabin the
authorities found mitten, a
boys gray mitten.
Three miles away, on the
road toward Mora, farmer
said that a boy who wore one
gray mitten came to his house
Sunday noon and asked for
food and for a team to drive
him to Mora. The boy got the
food, but not the team. He ate
heartily and started down the
road on foot. That night a
boy who wore one gray mitten
took q train in Mora fol Mime
apolis.
Eugene Thomas was known
in Mora, and he had been visit.
iag at his uncle's home ten
miles out on the Wahkon road.
The uncle was consulted. He
said that on Friday before the
murder he had told Eugene
that he ought to 60 home. that
the boy had talked of going
west and had boasted of his
misdeeds in Minneapolis. He

BOASTS OF CRUELTY.
This is one of the stories, &C.
cording to the men who were
investigating, t h a t Eugene
Thomas had told his relatives:
He told his relatives that q
neighbor in minneapolis had a
fine dog, that one day he went
to the neighbor's barn, tied the
dog up. hung it to a rafter by
it's feet and watched it die.
The men asked the boys
uncle what he had done on Fri.
day after he had quarreled with
with his uncle. The uncle told
them the boy had finally drawn
gun, had told him he would
not 60 back home, had backed
away, turned around and run
down the read.
What color mittens did
Eugene Thomas ear? He
wore gray mittens. The Min
nepolis police were notified to
look out for Eugene Thomas
and Thursday when he was
leaving the public library q
hoy friend tapped him on the
shoulder and told him he was
wanted in connection with the
Kanaoec county murder The
boy went home, talked the
situation over with his father
and Rev. Irving p. Johnson of
Gethsemane church, m e
down town and gave himself
up. He refused to discuss the
Kanabec county murder.
PICTURES BRING CONFESSION.
County Attorney o. w. King
and Sheriff Altman of Mora
took the boy from the Mime.
apolis city lookup Friday night
to Grasston. After he had
taken a nap and eaten a hearty
breakfast yesterday he told his
story. He did not confess till
the pictures were shown him,
but in some way the pictures
must have changed his mental
attitude. He showed no emo
tion, but he volunteered the
story. This was after he had
been told that anything he
might say would be used
against him at the trial.
Beginning with the time
when he was youngster in
short trousers Eugene Thomas
told of his life. He said he had
read the cheap novels of the
west and had resolved to be.
come a bandit. He told how
the determination to leave

finally purchased two re volvers
and left Minneapolis. He had
visited with his n le at

to stop at his uncle's home.

and stood waiting, how. when
the door opened, he fired, how
his victim crumpled up and
fell on the floor; how he rifled
the settlers pockets, left the
cabin and. made his way to
Mora.
This and how he went back
home to Minneapolis was told
by the l6-year-old boy without
ever break in his voice. He
showed no sorrow, no remorse.
He neither wept nor smiled.
His story was calm, connec.

Another member of the company in

however, far more apprecative Of the

No such thing happened The out
