wish to state I am innocent of
the crime of which I was con

of circumstantial evidence. I
hope there may come a time
when the conscience of the per

will compel him to come to the
front and acknowledge the
crime. It is any honest pray
er to Cod that Ho may bring
the person guilty of the crime
to justice, that, my name may
be cleared of this stain that
the people may see the injus

killed an innocent boy.
To those who have given me
their kind assistance and have
trusted in me I give my sin

have nialicioiit.lv persecuted
and killed me, for them I pray
Cod's forgiveness.

SAN FKANC1SCO, Jan. 30. Geo.
Terry, formerly a clerk with the
National Ranking corporation, who
pleaded guilty to the embezzlement
of $13,000, told the court he
drank 100 quarts of beer in glx
hours. Part of the money went for
payment, of this. The court was
skeptical and called a cafe pro
prietor, who confirmed the state
ment. the comer and covered over with
tho mattress.
On returning to Gerlach, Bowen
reported tho grewsome discovery
and a search was made for Ellis,
who had returned to Gerlach from
Tonkey's cabin Tuesday night and
hnd been seen In Gerlach as late
as 10 o'clock Thursday morning.
Tills was about nu hour before
Bowen returned' to Gerlach from
Tonkey's cabin.
When Ellis returned to Gerlach
Tuesday night he had Tonkey's rifle
with him and also spent about $20
in Gerlach. This was about the
amount of money , Tonkey was
known to have had upon his per
son. It is not thought, however,
tlmt robbery was the motive of
the murder, as Ellis did not tak
Tonkey's watch.
It Is the belief of the district at
torney that the two men quarreled
while intoxicated and that In the
fight Ellis shot Tonkey with his
own rifle. The actions of Ellis ar
peculiar In that he did not attempt
to Pave Gerlach until two day
after the murder was committed.
