tho statement is a vtlo outrago ns n

Tho detailed stotoment of Frank
Garrison, sentenced to bo hanged for
tho murder of Roy .Perkins, rondo to
Judgo Coko at Coqulllo thla week
Just prior to being sentenced was ns
follows:
"I wish to atftto that I havo no
111 will concerning tho Judgo and
Jury, nono whatovor. I do not blamo
tho prosecuting attorney or doing
his duty, that is his business to pro
secute, thpso who vlolato tho law.
But I bollovo ho exceeded tho virtues
of his offlco to eocuro my conviction.
But if ho bollovos, every means wero
fair, thon I forglvo him. Now as I
renllzo tho fact that I will soon go
beforo n higher judgo than our Jud
ges horo on earth, I dcslro to mnko
an ausoiuto uomai oi somo siaio-
monts mau boforo tljp court by Mr.
J.. E. Grnham. First, that ho did
not know what gayo mo tho Impres
sion of mob vlolonco. Mr. Graham
called mo asldo at tho tlmo I was
arrested and told thnt thoro was
greatest oxcltoment and Jhat It I did
not tell what I know I was llablo to
suffer -vongenco of tho people.
'Then aftor I was placod into tho
city Jail of Marshflold, ho got him
self locked up In tho co)l with mo
saying ho, hlmsolf was undor suspi
cion, and that it I would toll what I
know about tho disappearance or itoy
Perkins It would get him released, to
which I said, Mr. Graham, I know
nothing, I do not know If you do or
not.
"Aftor that ho mado sovoral trips
to sco mo always trled to got mo to
make a confession.
"But I always told him tho uamo
thing, that I know nothing at all.
That tho last tlino I had boou Roy
Porklns was on tho ovonlng of Aug
ust 31, 1910, when ho left thp boat
landing going toward S.umnor on tho
handcar and that I had novor seen
him since. After I was brought oyer
horo to Coqulllo, Mr. Graham has
mado two trjps horo to got a confes
sion from mo, but ho has never been
ablo to do so, and that ho told a
dirty llo; that ho purgured himself.
And about tho statement which ho
said I mado tho morning of Septem
ber 1st, ho said, "what is tho mnttor
with you, you. look llko you had
been drawn through n knot holo."
1 said, "I had a bad attack of indi
gestion." Ho thon asked when I
came from Sumner. I told him the
ovenlng bofore. He, asked me how
I got across, I told him I borrowed
a boat and tied It up at tho stave
mill. I will stato hero why I decid
ed to take tho wagon road to Marsh
field. I had given my dogs Borne raw
cornmeal in milk that morning and
It mado ono of them ,slck, and I did
not want to dirty up the boat, Not

Perkins' threat of having me nrrest

attorney accused mo of stealing

over to Roy Perklus and Wm. Hower
to sell and glvo me credit for on our
accounts but thoy never dono so, so
I took, charge qf tho property after
