A CRIME RECALLED Deathbed Confession That May Possibly Solve the Snell Murder Mystery. DSAD MURDERER'S FRIEND TALKS. Tells theSheriffat Lincoln, Neb., What He Knows Wants the Peward. Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 13. A miner's confession on his deathbed lu the Klon dike, and couimuuieated by the only person who heard It to the authori ties of Nebraska, now gives promise of solving the mysterious murder of some wealthy mau in a city in the United States. It Is suggested as a possibility that Amos J. Snell, the Chicago mil lionaire who was supjwsedly slain by Willie Tascott fifteen years ago. was the victim Involved in the miner's con- ession. Sheriff Branson, of this coun ty, several mouths ago received a let ter from H. D. Long, mailed at What com. Wash. Long wrote that he had just returned from Alaska. At Daw son City he had met a man, who pre ferred, for reasons that subsequently develoted. to be known as John Smith. Hmlth Make u Ileal hbed CoufeMion. They became well acquainted, and later, when they met at Circle City, ngred to go out prospecting together. While they were out in the gold fields Smith contracted pneumonia and died. On his deathlx-d Smith confessed that he had been implicated in a murder years before. He told Long all about it. giving names and details. Smith said that he and Sidney Land had been partners in various burglarious enter prises, and that one night they broke into the house 0& a wealthy man. I hey understood from hat they had learned in advance that the man was In the haliit of keeping large sums of money and many valuables alot:t the house. They expected a rich profit from their night s work. .Iol Itesultcd in a Murder. Whib they were going through the man s valuables they were surprise! bv him. and a fight ensued, in which the man was killed. The burglars got $'. in money, some diamonds and jewelry. $5,000 In notes, a lot of mort gages, some street railway ltonds. and one government bond. The men separ ated after the robbery, but later met for a division of 'the proceeds. Ac cording to smith s story, uis partner kept most of the money and jewelry, and he was deprived of what he deem ed his rightful share of the booty, but as they were equally guilty he did not dare to remonstrate. " ki:hm:s to ;ivk the names. Thiuk.it There Is ICrward and Would Di vide with the Sherifl. Smith told Long who the man was whom they robbed, but declined to im part this information to the sheriff. All he would say in his letter was that the man lived in an eastern city, ami that he left an estate worth a large amount. The burglar t allied off the man's will and life int.uraiice policy, and his heirs had a law suit over the division of the estate. Loug claimed to have had iu his iossessiou evidence sufficient to convict Lund. Long said that Smith had informed him that there was a re ward of ?10,O0O standing for the arrest and conviction of the murderers. This he had aft" ward verified and found It still at the command of the man who furnished the necessary evidence. This he offered to divide with the sheriff, but insistd that no other otii cers be drawn into it to diminish his share. Ing also said that from Smith he learned that Land served a term iu the Nebraska prison, somewhere about 1SS2 or lS.s.1. When Sheriff Branson first received the letter he was skeptical, but he answered It and drew from I,ong certain ctlur facts. He then went to the penitentiary and found from the records that Sidney Land had served a term there for forgery. He was received from Hall county on Sept. H, 1S7U, and released three years later. Long had given information of the whereabouts of land's relatives, and the sheriff learned where a brother of his huil resided in this state, but who died in the soldiers" home in Wiscon sin a year ago last September. He wrote the result of his inquiries to Iong. but the letter expressed the hope that here i-ay.be a reward paid for Hi" return of the 'stolen priqierty. One of the diamonds, a ring, he says, was sold to a woman In cm eastern city. The ring bore an iiiscriiHlon. This had been scratched out with a file. Smith said that Land had given him instructions to destroy the notes, none of which were negotiable, and an at tempt to sell which would have cer tainly resulted in arrest. Sni-tlu in stead of doing so. placed them in a wood box in a stone wall in the cellar of a house, where they were presum ably to le fountl. Ixng says he has a tlescrlntion of the house as well as the hiding place, and he s now prose cuting inquiries to find out if any re ward will be given for their return, they being valuable only to the legal owners. Sheriff Br.insontbiuks the case lears some resemblance to the Snell mys tery in Chicago. The sheriff Is still in communication with Ixmg. who now iives in Seattle. Jealuu Man In a . ioe orner.
