Winnipeg, Man, Dec. 31.--William
Dycke. the chauffeur of Plum Coulee,
driver Of the murder" car following
the robbery OF the bank of Montreal
in that town OF Dec. 8. last night
before a crowded courtroom told his
gripping story of what happened on,
the afternoon Of that thrilling day.
He positively identified John Kraf-
chenko as his passenger Of that wild
ride. The night previous to Dec.
8, Dycke said Krafchenko had met
him behind a hotel in Plum Coulee
and with an electric flash light in
his eyes and revolver at his head told
him to have his automobile ready the
following day, when the school bell
rang" for a friend of Krafchenko's
who was about coronered by the police
and had to make a quick getaway
from the town.
Awed by these threats, Dycke did
as he was told, had the cal ready and
running in front of his livery at the
hour of one. He waited at his livery
door. talking to two travellers who
were bargaining for a car, when he
saw q a bearing the description
given him by Krafchenko approach
ing on the run. He wore a black
beard and heavy dark fur overc3at,
with a hat drawn over his eyes.
Dycke was commanded to drive on,
and as he did 80 Ills passenger re-
mark @
II hop 7 didn't kill him."
kill who?" said Dycke.
"Why Arnold" and as Dycke
looked UP at the face he recognized
Krafchenko. The latter saw. that he
was known to the chauffeur. so he
pulled off his false beard and put
ting the revolver to the head OF
Dycke, said: :Hit her up or you'll
meet the same fate"
They went to lei Osborne, a few
miles from Winnipeg. when Kraft
chenko got out, took off the fur coat.
threw it. into the bushes. where it
was found next day, handed to the
police and identified in court yester-
day. Getting in again, Krafchenko
ordered Dycke to go ahead, and m
phasizing his desires by sending a
bullet through the side Of the car as
he entered.
A few miles farther on KRAFT
chenko ordered the car to stop. or
dered Dycke out and tried to break
the spark. but at the earnest request
OF Dycke he. refrained, Dycke claim
ing he was fifty miles from home and
1t was nearly dark. Krafchenko again
putting the revolver to his head, told
Dycke~ exactly what. to say when he
got back to Plum Coulee and follow
ing 1t up by stating that il he told
the police who his passenger was he
would be shot, If not by the speaker,
by n Of his pals who was in the
game with him.
Dycke returned to Plum Coulee,
Informed the police gradually Of the
true story. sought their protection
and was kept in Jail where he was
we'll treated, safe from harm.
During the entire recital of
Dycke's story, which occupied nearly
two hours, Krafchenko sat hand
cuffed to the policeman in the prison
ers' box. with a grin on his face, but 1
his appearance gave every evidence Of
his being a worried man.
The hearing was adjourned until a
from today, when fifteen
more witnesses will be heard. one OF
whom is a pal of Krafchenko, who
taken in on the scene but
dunked when it came to being a

TO SMOKE
out CLAN
KENTUCKY OFFICERS HOPE
HENDRIcKsoN WILL YIELD
= TO WIFE'S PLEA.

Pineville, KY, Dec. S1.-The guards
around the abandoned mine entrances
In which the Hendricksons and their
followers are hiding, were hopeful that
Mrs. Jack Hendrickson, wife of the
leader Of the mountaineers, would be
successful in inducing her husband to
surrender. Mrs. Hendrickson announc-
ed that she would enter the mine to-
day. Sheriff ELECT Rufus Wilson will
accompany her,
Two barrels Of sulphur have been
purchased, and should the clansmen
refuse to surrender, an effort will be
made to smoke them out.
Seventy-five men are now on duty
about the mine entrances. They are
anxious to enter the mine in a body,
but this will not be attempted until
all other efforts for a peaceful sur
render are exhausted.
A friend of Jack Hendrickson ex-
pressed the opinion that the leader Of
the clansmen had nothing to fear in
a. fair trial, and. that he would come
out of the mine and surrender were 1t
not for the fact that q brother of
Thomas Stewart Is mi Of the deputies
assisting in guarding the mine. Hen
erickson fears that Stewart will shoot
him on sight. Tom Stewart was kill
ed about ten years ago by John Hen
Erickson, whose term expired only a
few months ago.
