The confession was not made until after the young man had learned that his brother was killed. Marshal Ruby guarded the prisoner in his home Sunday night. After breakfast Marshal Ruby and the prisoner had a long conversation', in which the marshal gradually turned the conversation to the Sherburne affair. The prisoner remarked in a seemingly ! less way that he understod that one of the men had been caught. Ruby said: "Yes, and in capturing him he was killed, but shot dead another man before going himself." The marshal's statement stunned the prisoner. Finally he looked up and said: "I suppose I might as well make a clean breast of it all. The fellow that Was killed was my brother. "We robbed the bank at Sherburne, bnt I am not guilty of killing one of the men. It was agreed that we were not to shoot. My brother came to our home, where I was staving with my parents, and asked me j to help him rob the bank. He had the scheme all planned. I consented, and we were in the neighborhood several days." . i
