From Fridays Daily.
While Frank McCool and Joe Red
enbaugh, the twin city prisoners
whose names are now famous in
connection with two foul murders,
have denied repeatedly that they
stole DR.. L. T. Dodd's automobile,
there is no longer any doubt that
they were in Mankato about the time
that the car was stolen. and that
they not only went through the city
but stopped off here.
Some days ago DR.. Dodds received
a letter from the chief Of police of
Minneapolis, stating that Frank Nc
Cool had said that he and REDEEM
baugh and their wives passed through
Mankato on a train on May 8, Thurs
day. 1t was on the evening of that
day that the car was stolen.
Talked With the Men.
=, Yesterday member of the Man
kat0 police department was in the
twin cities and interviewed both
(; Redenbeugh and McCool. They both
admitted that they were in Mankate
and that they saw this officer. The
officer that morning happened to
step into the Esser saloon, making
ythe rounds, and there his attention
was arrested by a stranger, who sat
ON a beer case, and there he kept his
eyes fixed on the officer. The Off
Ger kept his eyes fixed on him. That,
as it afterwards proved, happened to
be McCool. At length McCool asked
the bartender whether the other was
a police officer, and received an an
swer in the affirmative. McCool sat
beside the officer and said he him.

from Sioux Rapids, Iowa.

The officer-did not at that time
know that Redenbaugh, whose name
is now familiar in criminal annals in
this part Of the country, was stand
2 ing by the bar, keeping his eyes fix
ed on the officer every moment. The
attention of the officer was taken up
with McCool
All of this happened on Thursday
morning, as the officer remembers,
and it was probably May 8, for the
bartender remembers that it was

yesterday, he received the informal
tion that the two men did not come
with their wives to the city, and
that after leaving the saloon, they
went over to the Boston lunch room,
after which they took the ~: AS train,
and went on their way from the twin
cities to Omaha.
The officer. saw McCool at st. Paul
and Redenbaugh at Minneapolis yes
terday, and obtained pictures of both
Y of them. He at once recognized Nc
Cool. He obtained the information
i at that time that when the two men
were in the Esser saloon, REDEEM
baugh carried in his shirt a big re-
yolyer. Redenbaugh told the officer
yesterday how he watched the Off
Ger every moment in the saloon,
though the officer had his attention
80 fixed on McCool that he paid no
attention to Redenbaugh..
