So He Tell Detectives at Snn Fran

Drue. He Denies Theft on

SAX FRANCISCO. Deo. It (Special.)
His nerves shattered and trembling from
weakness. In being deprived of drugs, E.
1- Smith, held at the City Prison as the
ringleader in the robbery of the treasure
from tlie AUska sronm.hip Humboldt
last 8eptemner. brokenly repeated his
tale this afternoon of securing the Ta
nuna gold bars from "Johnny" Gibson
on a west-bound train at Ovden three
months ago. But in trying to tell of
hlsi whereabout and establish a definite
ly connected mllbi, he fulled mitritbly.
Smith admitted that he was In Alaska
during the prsacnt year, but immediately
corrected his statement by saving that
lie returned over nine months ago. The
Federal authorities place but llltlp.-cre-dence
in his siory of receiving the gold
from tiltison oh the train, but neverthe
less have Inaugurated country-wide
search for Oihson. Secret Service ngents
in the North are working on the theory
that Mrs. K. L. Smith, alias Marjwn :
Henry. 'ho la under arrest with Smith,
made the passage on the Humboldt with

made Seattle.
Smith Plead Fatigue.
Ijii In the afternoon Secret Scrv'ce
Agent MolTltt vtritrd Smith in his cell,
but was unaMe to secure any information
'mpllcntttig oilier In the robbery of the
Humboldt's treasure. When crossed with
a ouestlon. Smith would hesitate and
tremblingly falter that he was weak and
needed rest, nnd so evaded answer.
He said that he come back from Alaska
nine months ago and went through the
Northwest, staying a few month at Hel
ena and finally going to Denver. When
asked as to where his wife had been dur
ing the puj: four montiis. Smith said lie
lid not know. But when told that It
waa bellevm that hi wife made the trip
on the Huiiboldt In September, he vigor
ously denied till, declaring that she had
never been In Alaska.
Treatment Complained Of.
"I have been through hell-fire," he
said. In telling his story. "Its not only
doing without the drug I've been ac
customed to, but, what they've done
to me since they took me. For 30
hours. I was kept over In the post
office building without rest, sitting on
a little round chair about so big."
(making a circle with his two stained
hands) "with nothing to lean against.
Every time I'd try to lean or get any
rest, I was forced to sit up and keep
my eyes open and answer questions
If my eyes would shut or my head
drop. I waa made to straighten up.
Why, I suffered so under the strain
that I Just broke down and cried like
a baby I was so worn out."
When told of the theory that his
wife had beguiled' the purser on the
Humboldt while he looted the treasure
boxes, he exclaimed: "What nonsense.
What a He. Why. we were never on
a boat together. In our lives. The gold
came Into my ' possession by being
handed to me at Ogden by Johnny Gib
son 'Little Johnny,' he Is called. He
waa on hi way Ka.4t to Kansas City
and my wife and I were on our way
from Denver.
Gibson Met at Ogden.
"We met at Ogden and he gave me
tha gold there. He was on his way
up from the North. I told the detec
tives that If they'd not say anything
about having me he would show up.
but now It's all out In the papers, and
I don't know what will happen."
Hugo Landecker. bullion-broker at
111 Montgomery street, said last night
that he has been buying large amounts
of gold filings frequently during the
last two months, but Is not able to say
whether or not It Is part of the Hum
boldt loot. .
Through Information which la under
stood to have come from a habitue of
"Little Tex" Woodsen'a opium layout,
the secret service agents and Pinker
tons who are working on the case ex
pect to make additional arrests to
morrow morning. It was admitted by
the local detectives that another per
son Implicated in the sale of the gold

"SMITH"' MAY BE MATLOCK
Bullion Holibery Sopcct Thought to
Be Oregon ex-Prizefighter.
SEATTLE, Dec. 12. E. C. Smith, un
der arrest In San Francisco suspected
of stealing- gold bullion from an ex
press box last September. Is believed
by local detectives to be William Mat
lock, who waa traced from Seattle to
Skagway "soon after the robbery.
Matlock, when at White Horse, posed
as a newspaper man. He Is said to
have been a prixefighter In Oregon,
jack .Woodson, formerly editor of the
Nome Digger, and Wade Woodson, his
brother, a miner, are in San Francisco,
but, of course, have no connestlon with
the case. The use of the name Wood
son by two of tha prisoners may fur
nish a clew.
Detectives working on the case have
decided that the bullion robbery took
place on the White Pass A Yukon Rail
way, between White Horse and Skag
way. either In Yukon Territory or
Alaska. In case the prisoners are held
for the robbery, there will be an In
teresting question of Jurisdiction.

Commissioner Prouty relative to a pro
