A special from Stillwater, Minn.,
finys that T. F. Mcllrlde, a convict at
tho prison, received from .Jackson coun
ty in December last, has mutlo a con
fession, showing him to bo one of tho
most high-handed murderers in tho
country. His confession was mado to
Warden Wolfer in a letter written on
October 8, and in it ho rotated tlio mur
der of twu olllecrs and a woman at Ge
neva, 111., In 1680, tho murder of tho
marshal at Ossawatomlc, Kan,, and
tho robbery of a hardwuro store and
tho shooting of a policeman nt Guide
Hock, Nub. Mcllrlde says his right
name iu George Mullock, and that ho
was born of respectable people who
havo resided in Geneva since 1871. Ho
Is thirty-three years old, and claims to
havo confessed because his conscience
bothered him, and ho Is anxious to be
punished for his many crimes.
It is believed Guide Hock, Neb., hns
been confused In the above with Table
Hock. There Is no known record of n
murder of a policeman at Guide Hock,
but at Tublo Hock, something ovur a
year ago, the marshal was shot and
killed by an unknown man whom he
was trying to arrest.
