Justice of the Peace George Of
fleld, of Merrill, Is a county seat
visitor this afternoon.
Is the statement mado by the Jail V
Inmates. They say Williams told
them he shot In self defense.
The prisoners say that after Wil
liams had entered a plea of guilty
and had been seutenced to life Im
prisonment, ho was questioned by
Sheriff Low, when tho lattor re
turned him to Jail, regarding tho
whereabouts of Medill. Williams
stoutly denied any knowledge of Mo
dill's wanderings, and said they
parted friends.
While Williams was in the court
room, one of tho prisoners had cut
from a magazine a rather gruosomo
picture, showing a mnu stalking
from a man ho had murdered. One
prisoner Jokingly asked Wllllai a If
that represented ho- and Medill.
At tlio sight of tho picture, Wil
liams turned pale and apparently be
camo weak, tho prisoners sny. Short
ly afterwards, ho told of tho end of
Medill.
Tho story told by tho prisoners
Is that Williams said he and Medill
woro camped Just across the Hue In
Lake county. Ho said there was an
argument as to where they should
go the next day.
Williams Bald ho wanted to go to
At this, according to the prisoners.
Williams said Medill flew Into a rage
and reached for his gun. Wllluuu
says he pulled quicker than Medill,
and shot the latter through the toft
hand.
Dosplto his wound, Medill palled
his gun, Williams told the prisoners,
aud was trying to get a "bead" oa
Williams when the lattor shot again.
This shot killed Medill.
What disposition was made of the
body, Williams did not say. He told
tho prisoners that the scene of the
last camp with Medill was marked
by some, cuts on a tree near the
road, and that about sixty yards
from tho tree was a chest. He asked
the first prisoner to get out to go
and dlspoBo of this chest, whloh tke
