The two officials named heard the prisoner's story as had been told to the captain, but this time from the prisoner's own lips. There was no variance at all.

but the deputy cotu misslor.er and the inspector plainly deter mined in their own minds that the man was a liar or Insane. In the first place, the fact was that Mr. Latimer was shot twice and not in the back. as tho man described. Then he stuck to the story that the man Walsh hp.d a dark lan tern, and he was so vague about his replies i concerning his movements since the day of the murder that it was plain that there was something that he wanted to conceal.

Captain Buchanan bad been expecting that Mrs. Latimer would be in the station when he got back with the prisoner, but he was disappointed, for she was not there. But he had made up his mind to try the prisoner on another woman. "Certainly I'd know Mrs. Latimer," was the man's reply.

Captain Buchanan went to the room of the police matron, where Mrs. Sarah Cavan agh. a trim little woman, about Mrs. Lati mer's build, was sitting attending to her offl clal duties. Mrs.

Cavanagh is just about the build of Mrs. Latimer but "'she does not look a bit like her. The captain told Mrs. Cavan agh to put on her bonnet and walk Into his 1 room in a few minutes as if she had just come from the street. The instructions were obeyed to the letter and while the Eagle re porter was sitting talking to the prisoner in the captain's room, Mrs.

Cavanagh, looking I like a demure little widow walked in, inci dentally showing by her carriage that she is a bright little actress. "How do you do?" asked Captain Buchanan.

Latimer and Walsh came in. They talked, but the voices were so low that 1 could not hear what they said. I know it was Walsh who was with her. for I recognized his voice. Then there was stillness and after that I heard Mr.

Latimer come In. I remained in the closet with the door shut. "The door of the closet was right opposite the bed. Some time afterward I heard Mrs. Latimer say to her husband that she heard a noise and that she thought there were burglars in the house.

I heard the bed creak, as if Latimer was netting out of it and then I heard him walking in the direction of the closet. Johnson's Story of the Shooting and Escape. "As he came I opened the closet door and fired one shot at him. I shot him in the back. He had a blanket over him.

POLICE SAY HE IS A LIAR, Johnson's Extraordinary Yarn Told in! r.ot iw. i i Great Detail Several Times Without Any Variation. William. G. Johnson, 27 years old, who says that he is a native of Philadelphia, was sent to jail this forenoon by Magistrate Furlong, in the Gates avenue court, pending hearing' on the charge that he killed Albert C.

Latimer at the house, 318 Hancock street, earlv oc the morning of. July 2 of, this year. The William G. Johnson, Who Insists That He Is the Who Killed Latimer. man was charged on his own confession that he was the person who had killed Latimer, and the complainant was Captain John Buchanan of the Gates avenue station, to whom he had madai Ui uenfession, after telling in his own way the story of the shooting to Captain B.

J. Hayes of the Greenpolnt avenue station. Johnson called at the Greenpoint police station at a late hour last night. Sergeant Bowes was at the desk when he came in. "Serccant," said he to Bowes.

"I am tho man who killed Albert C. Latimer. I've come tc give myself up." It has been the dream every policeman in Brooklyn to clear up the mystery of Latimer's death if possible, and Bowes almost dropped from his chair when he saw the man in front ot him and heard him make the calm declaration. He looked the fellow over and his first impression was that the man was Insane. There was, truly, a wild look in his shifty eyes, his face muscles were twitching, but the sergeant saw that he was evidently a person of determined character.

His mental photograph of the self confessed murderer was that of a person of about the medium heignt, with high cheek bones, a light mustache, carelessly twisted at the ends; knotty fingers much stained with the Juice of the tl os of cigarettes, wearing a fedora hot somewhat the worse for wear, a rnelton overcoat of blue, a shabby dark suit, a turnover col lar standing somewhat high and a four in hand necktie of creamy and dirty silk. The fingers were nervously grasping the' from of the desk. Bowes noted all the characters ties of the man's appearance before he asked i him if he was telling the truth. "I look like a sane man, don't queried Mr. Johnson.

Then Captain' Hayes was called and he took him into his private room and had a long talk with him. Captain Hayes seemed to be im with the truth of the man's for )he sent word at once to the Gates avenue station, which is the police district where the Latimer murder occurred, and Sergeant Edward Harrington, who was at the desk and who had done much personal detective work on the Latimer case, took the messaee. Harrington at once routed out Captain IJ 11 juwl.u,u( cut; mil sua v.viV UUriH'SPU ar, OUVd I to the patrol wagon with Harrington and Buchanan it was soon skimming over the streets over tho ncar. st route to Greenpolnt. The captain from Gales avenue reached the Greenpoint station at about 2 o'clock and the self confessed murderer was bundled in and taken hack with the wagon to Gates avenue.

On the way ever to the station, which was reached at about o'clock ihis morning. Johnson told in a disjointed way lhe story that, he had told in Captain At the station, in the room, the tab was gone over asain, and before his final committal lo jail the prisoner had reheat sod it a dozen of times. Yei he did not vary in it all in the slightest particular, improbable as it was. and spite of fact that everv 1 official to whom he told it pronounced it unhesitatingly a tissue of lies.
