SO-CALLED
CONFESSION
OF NO AVAIL
Attorney General Says Man
Who Claims to be RObber
Can't be Found
MUST COME FORWARD
TO STOP STREET CASE

Attorney General Wolcott was asked
today II anything had been done by
the State regarding the alleged con-
fession OF an unknown, man given to
the Salvation Army people in Wash
ington. which bore on the case
against Cornelius Street, accused Of
burglary which is now pending in
the Court OF General Sessions and
will come up for trial at the Novem-
ber term OF Court. The man sup
posed to have made the confession.
claimed he, and not Street, was the
robber
Attorney General Wolcott said that
he had sent State Detective Mccoy
to Washington Immediately after a
newspaper account Of the alleged con-
tessiOn, to investigate the matter. and
if possible to get hold of the man who
was said TO have confessed. The
State detective returned and reported
that the identity Of the man who made
the alleged confession was not OBJ
ltainable. The Salvation Army people
did not know him, saying that he
gave them the name of Frank Hamil-
ton, which he admitted was q fictitious
name.
The attorney general was further
asked il the so-c3lled confession bv the
unknown men would have amy effect in
cansing the State 20 drop the case
against Street.
tie replied that il would have abso.
lutcly no effect for two reasons:
First. Because the so-called confes.
sion IL too mysterious. ANY man who
conlcsses 10 a crime in order TO protect
another who he says is suffering inno-
Gently for it, and who makes such con-
fession because he is driven TO it by
compunction of conscience, and who at
the same time hides himself so that the
proper officials can not talk with him,
shows that his so-called conjunction of
conscience is ieigned.
Second. The alleged confession
which he made is a very curious one. In
his so-called confession he tells abou.
some of the details connected with the
crime. The fact of thc matter is, the
mysterious individual is all wrong in
some OF his details. lie tells what did not
happen. II IS unnecessary 10 point out
wherein his account of what took place
varies from the facts. Ii he committed
the crime in question, as he SAYS, he
certainly ought TO know what he did;
yet his so-callcd confession does not
agree with what was done
The mysterious appearance of the
alleged concession and its vgriancc
from the facts IN the case look TOO
much like n Dogus affair Mr. Wolcott
said. AT all events for the two rea-
sons which are stated. the Attorney
| General said iha- lac will not ,liaw
/ the prosecution founded as it is upon
good prima facio evidence to be
stopped. III The man in question is
really rcpentant ana VIII come for
ward and do as a repcntant man
should. present himself instead oil
mystoriously appearing in distant
place and making his communication
TO the Attorney General of this state
through the newspapers. then he
would show bona fdes which
would tend 10 convince cvery body OF
the honesty Of his statement" Mr
WOlcott concluded.
