Den vkk, March 17. Alfred (J. Packer.
one of tho most noted murderers the
lillh centurv has produced, arrived at
Denver last night, and is now lodged in
the county jail. Packer has been lost
sight of ciño years, but his hellish crime
has not. lie went to Wyoming territory
ast fall and settled near tort Jbetter-
man, going undr the name of Schwartze,
and engaged in ranching and prospt;Ct-
ng. 'Iho particulars ot bis arrest have
already been given. Packer, it must bo
remembered, in the winter ot l7u and
187-1. murdered live of his companions
in the San Juan country, and for some
days lived oil' their llesh. At a lale
hour last night Packer made the follow-
ng confession to General Adams :
"I. Alfred Packer, desire to make a
true and voluntary statement in regard
to the occurrences in southern Colorado
n the winterof 1873 and 1874. I wish to
make it to Adams because 1 have made
one to him onco before about the same
matter. When wo left Ouray camp wo
had about seven days food for one man.
We traveled on three days and a storm
came on us ; we came to a mountain,
crossed tho gulch, came to another
mountain, found the snow so dcp that
we lollowcil tne mountain on to tne top,
and the fourth day had only a pint of
flour left. Wo followed the mountain
and came to the main range. Do not
remember how many days we were
traveling then, but think about ten, liv-
on rosebiuls anil pmo gum, ami
some -f the men were crying and pray
ing. Then wo came over tho main
range and campen on a stream near
i ere Lake Citv now stands, a fork of
the Gunnison winch runs mío iig lane,
imd at San Chrystoval, the second
night, just above tho lake. Next morn
ing we crossed the lake and cut holes in
tho ice to catch iish, but there were no
fish, so we tried to catch snails. Ihe
ice was thin and some broke through.
We crossed the lako and went into a
grove of timber. All the men weru
crying, anil ono oi tiicm crazy, swan
asked mo to go up and see if I could
not see something from tho mountains.
1 took a gun and went up tho hill and
found a big roso bush with the buds
sticking through tho snow, but could
see nothing but, snow all around. 1 had
been a kind of a guide to them, but 1
did not know the mountains from that
side. When I came back tu the camp,
after being gone nearly all day, 1 louud
the rod-headed man Bell, who acted
crazy in the morning, sitting near the
lire roasting a piece ol meat, wnicu no
liad cut off of tho leg ot a German
butcher, named Miller. Tho latter' s
body was lying further east, oil' from
the fire down the stream, and his skull
was crushed in with a hatchet. Ihe
other men were lying near tho lite and
were cut in the forehead with a hatchet,
some having two and some three cuts.
1 came within a rod ot tho lire, ana
when tho man saw mo he got up with
his hatchet and camo towards me, when
I shot him sideways through the belly,
lie fell on his face, and the hatchet fell
forward. 1 grabbed it and hit him on
top of the head. I camped that night
at the fire and sat up all night. Next
morning I followed my tracks up the
mountain, but cciiul not mane it as tne
snow was too üeep. ana i came duck.
1 went sideways into a piece of pino
timber and set up two stakes and cov
ered it with pine boughs and mado a
shelter about three feet high. This was
my camp until I came cut. 1 went back
to tho lire, covered tho men up and
fetched to the camp a piece of human
meat that was laying near the
tire. I got some wood and made a lire
near mv camp and cooked tho piece of
meat ana ate it. I tried to get away
every day but could not, so I lived on
tho llesh of these men the greater part
of the sixty days I was out. Then the
snow began to havo a crust and 1 start
ed up the creek to a placo whore a big
slide seemed to come down a mountain
of vellowish clay, lhere 1 started up
and gat my feet wet ana having only a
piece of blanket around them, 1 iroze
my feet under tho tees. I camped be
fore 1 reached the top, making a fire
and stoping all night. Next day I made
the top of the hill and a littlo over.
built a lire on the top ol a log ana on
two Iocs close toüether I camped.
cookeusorue of the llesh aud carried it
with mo for food. I carried only one
blanket; there was $70 among the men
which 1 brought out with nie, and one
gun. The red-headed man, Boll, had
a $50 bill in his pocket, all the others
together had only $'.20. I had $0 my
self. If there was any more money in
the camp I did not know it, and it re
mained there. At last I camped just
before I reached the agency, and I ate
my last piece of meat. This meat 1
cooked at tho camp before I started out
and put it in a bag and carried the bag
with me, but could not eat but a little
atatinio. When I went out with the
party from the agency to look lor tho
bodies we came to tho mmintains over
looking tho stream, but I did not want
to take them farther, and I did not
want to go back to the camp. If I had
staid in that vicinity longer I would
havo taken you (General Adams) right
to tho place, but they advised mo to go
away," The prisoner declined to tell
who they were. "When I was at the
shenJTs cabin in Saguache, I was pass
ed a key made out of a penknife blade
with which I could unlock the irons. I
went to the Arkansas and worked all
summer for John Gill. eigMeen miles
below Pueblo; then I rented Gilbert's
J ranch farther down the river, put in a
ero; t,f corn. fM it
to John V,, nd
went to Arizona.

ing adjourned without action, and tuero
being no reason for further delay, the

sixty-eight miles the New Orleans and

for such lands as may have been earned
by construction and havo been issued
to tho New Orleans and Pacific railroad
exclusively, nevertheless, of tho lands
along said sixty-eight miles, on their
compliance with the law and regula
tions in such cases made and providod.
Tho patents will of course be subject to
rights acquired to any person or cor
poration by tho act of March 3, 1871."
The president to-day returned the pa
pers in the case, with his approval of
the recommendation mado by th& secre
tary. This action, in favor of the New

ed and operated by the Pacific rail
