The Union Pacific Robhery. Death of James Berry Confession of His Complicity In the Robbery. Refuse to Reveal the Names of Ills Companions "Who lire Yet Alive. From the Mexico Intelligencer. At 12:20 p. m. Oct. 22d, James Berry 3 who by his own confession was a participant in the TJ. P. train robbery Sept. 19th, died at the lluigo House in this city, from gan grene, superinduced by wounds re ceived at the time of his capture, Sundar morning. During the latter part of the -night proceeding his death Berry , confessed to Sheriff Glascock and Mr. Gaines of the express company that he was one of ihe six men who committed the robbery of which lie (with others) was charged, and also gave the details of the separa tion of the party in the wilds of western Nebraska. The main facts i:i this statement were atterwards reiterated in the presence of Mr. J. A. Glandon, express agent in this .city. He talked freely of Collins, (the leader) and Mott, who were killed at Buffalo station, but was very reticent in reference to those yet alive, averring that he did not intend to ,cgive them away." He, .however, stated that his partner, whose name he would not divulge, .came to Mexico with him and took a night traiu on the C. A. R. It. for Chicago. Berry staled that Collins plan ned the robbery and was the ac knowledged leader of the party. When asked in view of nis ap proaching death, if he did not re gret what he had done he replied that he did not, and, upon the .question being repeated soon after ward he said somewhat testilv, "No, I'll be damned if I do." Tip to a short time before his disso lution Barry did not believe that he was going to die, but seemed to think that the assertion was made to induce further revelations upon .his part. Some further assertions were, however, made, which is not deemed advisable to repeat. His phy? icians, Dr. Russell and Roth Vell, say that his nervous system .had never been rallied from the severe shock received at the time .of his wounding and capture. His last hours were marked by little evidence of physical suffering. .Sheriff Glascock seemed unremit ting in his attentions to the prison ter, doing all in his po.ver to min ister to his want and maKe him comfortable, and it was remarked by those in attendance that Berry seemed to harbor uo ill will toward .his captors. Early yesterday morning a con veyance was sent for Berry's wife, but she did not reach town until tatter his death. Much sympathy js felt for this lady, who is said to be a most .excellent woman. Yesterday afternoon Dr. S. N. Russell, County Coroner, sum juraied ihe f ollowing named ge-ntle-menasajury of inquest: B. R. Cauthorn, W. M. Shumate, James Tasqueth, A. 13. Daniel, J. M. Coons and J. R. uckie. After hearing the testimony .produced the jury returned as their verdict that Tke deceased came to his (f e ith by gunshot wounds, -eight in num ber, inflicted on the left ler, by a -thotgun in the hands of H. Glas cock, on the morning ,of October 14th, 1877, as wo believe, a neces.--arv act in the discharge of his ,duty." The remains were taken in .cliarjje by friend. An additional tfftliction to the family is the fact that Berry's death was preceded only a few hours by that of his aged and respected mother, and to-day, at Richjbiud churchyard, the venerable mother and her err ing son will be consigned, side by ide, to that dreamless sleep that lenows no -waking.
