This wretch, who banned the massacre' and with his own little knife cut the throats of all four victims, has refused to talk with officers, reporters, or anybody about the affair, except to say that he had taken no hand ia the murder. While the others in the same cell with him have told their stories, telling freeing tbeir consciences as conscionsless as everything, Conti, evincwithout all heard a rock, has ing the least emotion. lie has evidently been fixing up his defense, and yesterday he signified his desire to snake a clean breast 3 of the matter and tell' the whole truth.

A good part ef this, he claims, was doled out in sums varying from $20 to $140, to all the parties concerned in the crime, and denies having buried any portion of the spoils; but says his share, except the amount found upon him when arrested, was 6pent iu getting ta New Mexico. Conti acknowledges that he got the others to join him in the murder. Deodata, whose prevarications are both amazing and amusing, was the first man spoken to on the Bubject. He agreed to go "snooks" with him in the murder.

She had thought his reformation was complete, and now "the old man was drunk again," with no sign of ever letting up. Finally she bethought her of the system in vogue at certain inebriate asylums that of mixing liquor with every article of food until tho patient acquires a lasting distaste for alcohol. She determined to try that plan on Lycurgus. She procured a gallon of the worst whiskey to be had, and put some of it in the old man's coffee, to begin with. It has been his unvarying custom to drink but one cup at a meal. That nighf he passed his cup back to be refilled, saying as he smacked his lips: "Better coffee 'n usual, ele gal." Next morning she increased the dose. He drank three cups, and fell from his chair as he was reaching for a fourth. He slept until noon, and went out to dinner. There was beef soup and whisky half and half. Sniffics ate it, and said, as he wiped r: . B NOTICE. Sirs. Sniffles has had more trouble with Lycurgus, and has been strengthened in the belief that he is totally unlike other meu; in tact, unlike many of them. He had been on a long sober stretch up to a couple of weeks ago. About that time he learned that his only aunt, a rich old lady in St. Louis, had died and left him aa immense fortune to get, if he could. This was a sore disappointment to our friend, for he expected to be made a rich man by the death of this (once respected) relative. Never was the news of an aunt's death read with more poignant grief by surviving kin. A postscript to tho letter conveying the sad intelligence stated that the cood old soul had bequeathed her entire wealth to a benevolent institu tion. This was tho rusty rod of iron that pierced his soul and made murky the fountain of hope. He tore the letter to pieces and bent his fal tering steps to the nearest saloon. He drank ha fell.
