It was purely luck for him that his operations were not discovered. Confession Is voluntary. The confession riven voluntarily be fore Deputy District Attornev John Mowry Raturdav night was said to bo of the following purport: Two years ago, when Patterson was employed as a teller in the Hartman Thomson bank, a friend, W.
