I lost my monele I was fleeeed. I had
just enough left t.) take me to Tuesan,
Arizona, and there I' went. When I

of changing my mode of living. I had

to my old life. I had ,grownslissatislied
with my faxm life; I did not like it as
well as I.might have. I was not mak-
ing as much money as I thought 1,
should I am naturally impulsive, and
under the influence of liquor I become
extraordivarily so. I had, as I said
before, become dissatistied with my
life, and when I got some liquor in me
the impulse came suddenly on me to
seek for a change -to make a home
some place else. I decided to raise
$1,000 on my farm. I asked. it for the
short time of two weeks, because I
thought I would get it more readily.
The story about my wanting tesre-
alize on some investment in Nonelch,
mid the one about my r wanting ,. to
buy some Cattle in Zorra, were made
for the purpose 01 furnishing a .reason-
able explanation. After I had got a-
way front Woodstock I gradually grew
ashamed Of myself,and decided I would
not come back. but would seek a new
home in the far West,a,nd having made
it bring my ,wife there. I • admit the -
circumstances were suspicious -looking, •,
and it,was to allay the easpicion that I
came home. I have been furnished by
my friends in Woodstock with clippings
from the newspapersin Which my name
was freely used in connection with the
Benwell tragedy, and it was •this that
a.ecided me to come back. I 'might
have gone on to California,made anew -
home, and have got my wife to ,follevi
me, but that course would net have re-
moved her and my friends „frem the
cloud of suspicion that hung over them.
I felt that by clearing myself I cleared
thein, and so I came. In short, I •left
here through a sudden impulse, aggea-
vated by liquor, with the intentien of .
begining life again, andl carne back
to clear myeelf of the suspicions that
very naturallywere attached. to me."
