I tell you. "Kelly planned " and perpetrated the GEORGE KELLEY. Siiverfield fur robbery alone. He con cocted it In my room in the Vlncennea house on Morrisbn street about three weeks prior to its execution. - He had with him here a kit 01 ioois ior Durg lary, safe-blowing and general criminal purposes, and he had no difficulty in making the key to Kan's store. He tore off" that Job at old man Kan's home, as The Journal said at the time. He made the key he used to enter the store in my room.. , ' ..sl, . .

How Xelly Worked. , "Kelly was the slickest guy I ever knew. He goes to work after planning the Siiverfield job and he rents a room for one week In the Cosmos house, right across the street, in the front so that he can-see everything that goes on along Morrison street. He has an actress who used to work at a local concert hail, and ' he spends all kinds of coin on her. He sets her to go to SUverfleld's and locate ' the window on the third floor where he enters later - from , Kan's store. Then he stays In his room nights, and he sizes - up the whole' situation. He sees when the coppers pull in their boxes; gets on in their habits to a T and 'spots' the specials,, learning exactly the time they show up to try the dehors and when they report on in ua morning. "After he gets everything stsed up, Kelly waits until 12:20 midnight; and then, with the cops and specials outf To make doubly sure of safety, he bus- , pends the nltro-glycerin above the door, for he had told me that he would blow every copper on, the force to pieces, ana then while they were lying wounded and dying he would fight his wty out with Detective 'Day took from him when he arrested him,- and which is stijl at the station. .Kelly stays la the fUr store "V t - .. I v! ' J o until 6:15 a. m. Then, having packed the furs In a neat satchel, he comes out. knowing the 'coppers and specials are out of the way, and soon mixes with the people going to work and all is well. He has three hours, almost, before his crime is discovered and he is safe. , Where Cullen Qot In. A few days after the fur Job was pulled off, Kelly comes to me in the Hub saloon, where I. was then working, and says he wants me to plant some of the-coats and skins. He has three with him. and Insists that I put them In the basement. 1 . tries to explain to him that I can't do it. for my people won't stand for It 'Besides,' I says, 'I have a poor old father and seven sisters in Chi cago to. look out for, and I can't af ford to mix in this. I can' f afford to Jose here.' Kelly looks at me and he savs: 'You're like all de rest no back- "But he Insists, and' makes me take three coats. - I plants them in the base ment, then I goes and ets drunk. Fear ful that I would be tipped off to the po lice,-1 -tried to get rid of the coats, and takes one to Elsie Douglas, a woman who runs a house at the corner of Stark and Sixth streets. It was a peach of a fur and worth 1300. She takes it, but gives it hack later, and I thinks, gosh. she'll tip me. I goes quickly to a spec ial omcer - my rriena - ana says to him, go and get the reward I'm tipped and you might as well have the $250. I'll cut my throat first," he says, and refuses to tell the police. But Elsie Douglas did, for less than an hour after wards I was arrested by Day and Welner. I understand Elsie. Douglas got the reward, and divided it several ways. 'i- . . v . .; "Well, I'm up against It. and In Jail. Of course, I tells the detectives all I know, and Kelly was Soon brought in. He was as cold-blooded as eyer, and when he sees me he says; "you're up against it. Matt; they know you turned that trick, and I feel sorry for you.' I said; Why. George, you ain't going to throw it into me, are your He says, well, they caught you with the furs, and I don't know anything about it They can't do anything to me, hut they'll bury you. I'm sorry for you. But keep a stiff upper lip don't let these guineas wid de stars bluff ye. vhen we get to de county Jail, we'll get a good lawyer. These fellows are not goln' to lay down When there's $250 in sight' Kelly Xlstmsted Polio. "Well, the result was Kelly refuses to tell a thing, and I gets soaked. The detectives tried to fix thing so that Kelly would blow back the furs and then get loose, but Kelly refused to take their word or the chiefs word, and said he would not give up the goods until he had Larry Sullivan's promise that he would be turned loose. When this was given, Kelly keeps his word, and turns up the skins. He goes free, and I am still in the county JalL - Kelly was flush when he came here, as he must have had $.000 bucks.' The Siiverfield people gave him -$20 when he left. I think he went to Seattle, for not long ago a fur store there was robbed, and I think he tumbled' that Mump.' It's a kick-off Just like the Job here." Cullen says he knows the perpetrators of the Slgmund Frank diamond robbery, which occurred three months ago. There were $3,400 worth, and there Is a reward of $500. "Kelly and three partners, known as Harrington, Betts and "Dutch, ' planned and executed the Frank robbery," said Cullen. "It Is Betts and "Dutch" Detec tive Day went to Salt Lake for. They are under arrest there, and I think Chief Hunt is holding back my ticket to Chi cago for the purpose of making me stay here and testify against them. My roiks teiegrapnea me rrom Chicago a week ago that my ticket had been sent, but it has not come, the chief says. It was to be sent to him. "Now, It was a few mornings after the Frank .robbery that those fellows all comes to , my room. They brings copies of The Journal, and some San Francisco papers, : and they cuts out some pieces. After they leave, I send out and gets copies of the same papers, and I see they rut "out stories of the Frank robbery. I didn't see Kelly for a week after that, and when I asked him about it, he laughed, saying the goods had been sent east, and were be ing held at option. "1 made arrangements to meet Kelly and his three partners In Seattle, and was Introduced by him to some fence people there. But In -the meantime, he and the others fell, out, and separated. so when I went to Seattle with De tectives Kerrigan and Snow, they failed to meet us. . TCeily's Xeeord. "Kelly and Betts are. both Chicago boys. , Betts is a short, chunky fellow, about SS years old, has dark hair, muS' tache and eyes, "Dutch' is from Port land, and is of light complexion, about five feet and eight Inches tall, and has light hair, Harrington is from San Francisoo, Is short of stature, is about 29 years old and has dark hair and eyes. Kelly served time In Jollet for tearing off a postofflce near Chicago. He was known as one of the highest fence climbers the Chicago police ever had to deal with. He could scale , a 12-foot fence with comparative ease, and es cape the coppers every time." Th Woman's Story. ; "1 deny having told the detectives about Cullen," said Elsie Douglas, "and I never received the reward. It is true that Cullen brought a fur Jacket to my house, but I told him to take it away. Furthermore I have forbidden Cullen to come to my house. I re quested Chief Hunt to keep him away. He is always, talking about this robbery and that theft, and I don't like it His statement that I told Day and Welner about him-la absurd, for they both scored me for not telling them of it They are both my friends, and if you ask them whether I got the reward they will tell you I did not" An Unusual Offering. ' What is undoubtedly a remarkable offering and one seldom made by any firm is the cocoa mats being sold by Calef Bros., 180 Sixth street this , week only at 89 cents. This mat is regularly sold, for (5 cents, and sold Ijw at this price.

He was such a talker that the people called him "Gassy Charley.' Lawrence was paid by the city so much a head for all the stock and geese that he locked up In the city pound. He would go out in the country -and If he saw a horse or hog- running loose he would promptly drive the animal to Portland, lock it up and then get the head money for its release.

On September 1, 1897, E. J. Friedman, known here as De Guilder, was placed under arrest at Tacoma, Wash., In time to prevent his departure and five days later was transferred to Spokane. Capt James Nevlns, superintendent of Plnkerton's Nationel Detective agency of this city, was sent to Spokane at the direction of tf e protective committee of the American Bankers' association to guard the interests of the association. Since April of that year Friedman had been operating under assumed names and swindling hotels In various parts of the country. Claiming to be the traveling representative of some specified firm, he would offer at a hotel office a check which purported to be drawn by the firm in his favor, and suc ceeded in acquiring considerable money In that way. ' In the course of his travels. It la said, he stopped at San Antonio, Tex., and in June, 1897, under the name of Eugene Guilbert, swindled a member of the Bankers' association on a bogus check for $200. The Flnkertons were apprised and have kept the man under almost constant surveillance since that time. In August of that yesr it became evi dent that Friedman was changing some what his mode of operating. He had de veloped into a cool, nervy forger. He called on H. C Brooks, Jr., of the United Coal company of Denver, Colo., and re newed an acquaintance forced on the railway between Colorado rad California. Showing a draft for ?iQ drawn on a New York bank and signed "Lasard Freres." Friedman asked Mr. Brooks to Identify him at the bank. Brooks readily agreed, and further, endorsed the draft It was returned as a forgery and Brooks was held responsible for the amount ' Later in the month Friedman struck up an acquaintance with a traveling man Journeying to Spokane. On, arriv ing at that place he apparently received a voluminous mall, among the letters being one containing what purported to be a certified check for $100. He had created such a good impression that his new-found, friend aided him to secure the money. The traveler was bound for Seattle and Friedman,' accompanying him there, received a similar check for $200. . With the aid of,his friend he ob tained the cash.
