Hugh C. Van Amburgh, acquitted la superior court here in April of kWcaping Arthur. ItuBt on Febru- ary 1, today made public a confes sion that he committed the act.

Rust, millionaire mining man. At the trial Van Amburgh alleged that he and Rust entered into a plot to obtain and divide the money. The confession of Van Am burgh, signed before City Attor ney J.
