For the first time since his return to St. Louis, last Friday, John K. Murrell talked to several close friends about his flight from the city and the causes that led him to come back. Shortly after Slgmund I. Kramer qualified for $25,000 on Murrell'a bond, the former member of the combine, who has turned state's evidence, made this statement to one of hla Intimate friends: The penitentiary could not hold as many terrors for me as being a fugitive from Jus tice. My own mental anguihh and my wife's aprrme jiugni in t. iouie, where she w deserted by those who had promised to aid her In my absence, were the causes that prompted me to come back and divulge all. After my Indictment I did not have any Idea of going away until the evening of March 16, when Julius Lehmann and John Helms came to me and said I bad better get out. Montr Was Promised. "We'll send you money while you're gone," they said, "and eCe that your wife Is supplied with funds, alto." They declared that It was of the utmost Importance that 1 leave, so I lost no time In shaving off my moustache and changing ray clothes so as to disguise myself as much as possible. I took a train that night lor Juares, Mexico. At Juares I stopped at a leading hotel and went over to EI Paso frequently. While In El Paso Julius Len mano came down to see me. Instead of bringing me money, however, Lehmann borrowed 110 from me. I had exp cted some remittance from the gang and then I began to realize that they were apt to throw me. I continued to receive letters from the aajig, in wmcn there were tne usual prom ises and which urged the necessity of my keeping as far away as possible. A-few days after hla return to St. Louis Lehmann telegraphed me that I had better go further Into-the interior, as It was dangerous for J?,?.!0 remaln nar ,ne border. I -went- to C hlfiiiahua, where I assumed the name of H. Adams, and later went to Mexico City. ., Destroyed Wife's Letters. t continued to receive letters from Leh mann, but letters from my wife- became less frequent. 1 found out since then that the fang destroyed many of her letters, evidently suspecting that she was after me to come back. I did not receive one cent from the gang from the time I left the city and It was simply my own mental anguish and the fact that my wife was deserted aad probably starving in St Louis that ted me Ljfom." back.

Granting an extension of time for the Payment of all debts due by the burghers o the late governments of the South African republics. Proposals Surprise Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain, In replying, expressed great surprise at the number and character of the proposals, pointing out that the con- . dltlons agreed upon at Vereenlging were duly accepted by the burghers and the Brit ish government and that they could not be reopened nor could proposals rejected at the time be again discussed. It the Inter pretation of the agreement was open to qneatlon, his majesty's government would endeavor to remove all doubts. At the opening of the conference the Eoer generals disclaimed any desire to alter the terms of surrender In any way. On the subject of amnesty to rebels. General Botha expressed disappointment that, after ' the promise given by Lore Kitchener, the rebels had not been granted amnesty at the t me of King Edward's coronation. In reply to which Mr. Chamberlain promised that the imperial government would not hinder any generous Intentions of the governments of Natal and Cape Colony in regard to rebels). Relt la Made Exception. As tu the return cf bursssrs to Sesth Africa,- the colonial secretary declared tt waa the government's Attention to retain the right to prsvent the return of disloyal per sons who had not frankly accepted ths terms of peace, Instancing former 'State Secretary Relts of the Transvaal as case In point, and saying, that Mr. Rett was using language on thgjcontlnent inconsist ent with the declaration he had slfned at Vereenlging. ..? General Botha said he hoped that the "sins of one man -would not be visited on others,'.' adding, "If one man says foolish things let blm suffer "therefor alone," ' Mr, Chamberlain . Miferraed the generals that there waa no truth In the report, that the government Intended to sell farms be (oOftlng to burghers. Regarding 'noma farms sold-in the Orange River Cojony, tinder the proclamation of amnesty pf 1901, Mr. Chamberlain promised that the' farms bought by the government would Je re transferred to their former owners. General Botha criticised the composition of the commission appointed to allot the grant of ' $15,000,000 for the 'purpose of assisting burghers and their families to re turn to ineir nomes ana ror restocKing their farms, etc., and objected 'to national scouts serving as commissioners, but Mr. Chamberlain maintained that the govern ment must be true to those who supported it. Boers Are) to Leave Ratal,.' " Relative to the transfer to Natal of part of the Transvaal, General Botha said the burghers proposed to trsk therefrom. He lived there, but fee saw no chance '.of re maining, the feeling of the British in Natal being so strongly anti-Boer. On the subject of martial 4awv Mr Cham berlain said it would '- Hot -be continued much longer. J The colonial secretary refused to recog- nlie, as burghers, foreigners who had been naturalised during or Just before the war, saying they had been bribed by the reso lution of the Volkaraad giving burghers rights as a reward, .for taking, part in a conflict in Which the Were! -not concerned. Oeneral Botha cbncluded 'with an appeal for the widows and orphan, and aald he considered, that the appropriation of $15, 000,000 was inadequate, ' ; i" Referring to this Mr.-Chamberlaln com pared Great Britain's treatment 'of the Boers with the treatment ef. the south by the north after the civil war in America. "I would remind the general," aald Mr. Chamberlain, "that what we have under taken is under similar circumstances. To take ons case In- my time. ' I recollect very well the great civil war In America, and I appeal to that, because that stands out as a case In' which more' than ever be fore, or Indeed ever since, the victor, the conqueror, showed. a magnanimous and gen erous feeling to the conquered. There was good reason for this, because they were brothers of the same race, the aame rs It Ion, the same everything. It 'was a civil war, but even In that case, the northern aide, that is to say, ths victorious side. made no provision whatever, either by way of grant, pension er allowance, to the peo pie who had been wounded, to the side that had been conquered. . They gave them thei, lives and their liberties, and after a period of ten years gave them votes, but did not give them any money compensation. England Oeee Step Farther. "But we have goo a step beyond that, be cause we have contributed. In addition to all our own enormous expenses; a very lsrge sum to relieve those who are really destitute in our new colonies. We have done more than I tb nk was expected, and we have done all we can afford to do, and I think it would be undesirable for the generals to press us any further in this matter, either now or In writing Proceeding.' Mr. Chamberlain recipro cated the desire expressed by Geasrel Botha that they should all live la peace In the future fa nuuiii Awiu. "We want in this country," aald the colonial secretary, "to forget and forgive, because. If you think, as you well may, that you have something to forgive, we alsj think we have a great deal to forgive. But we want to put all that on one aids. The war Is ovsr. We alt Nougat a well aa we knew how, aad eeaj. there ts .peace, All we want is to reeogmise you aa fellow sub JecU, with ourselves; .work Ids as we shall work for the prosperity end-liberty of Bouih Africa. If " U How great that liberty ts, and bow soon MWItf , bum nww iwd complete self-government wDI be extended te South Africa, - depend entirely cn tb rapidity with which the old animosities d e out." Mr. Chamberlain concluded with saying that the government would be glad of the co-operation of men like the generals, who bad loyally accepted the new situation. As they wanted South Africa to be a happy abiding place for all, he felt sure that if the burghers met the British half way they would find them quite as good fr ends In the future as they bad been enemies In the past. Comment of the Press. LONDON, Sept. 10 The report Is sued yesterday of the recent conference between Secretary Chamberlain and the Boer generals Is received this morning with spirator in suggesting the demands by which an endeavor waa made to overturn the whole basis upon which peace had been es tablished and which pressed tor terms which Great Britain would not have lis tened to for one minute during the war. "The whole scheme," says the paper, "re calls nothing so much as Orattan's grim witticism about making the man pay for the razor that was to be used for cutting his throat." The Dally News, while expressing sat isfaction that "Lord Mllner's colonisation" scheme Is not to be carried out, and that other points Mr. Chamberlain was "fair enough," concludes that the Boer generals got cold comfort. "The Verecnlglng terms," says the paper, "are a rough draft which will have to be filled In with a free constitution. That Is tha essence of the case of the Boer gen erals and It Is a pity that Mr. Chamberlain has dealt rather with Its form than with Its spirit." Another leading organ supports Mr. Chamberlain's views without comment.
