Woodstock, Ont., April 1. -Neville H:Pickthall arrived in town early this morning by the Grand Trunk limited express from ,the west, When Staked if he desired to make an explarietien he replied, "Certainly I do; here is My story :--,I left Woodstock on, Monday, Feb. 10th- Our train stopped for live intifintes'at Niagara Falls and I get off, On the' station platform Lamy Me.

On one occasion in New York I thought reetegtlized Mrs. Burchell in- the Metro- politan Hotel, but was not sure abolla it. Since, however, she is said to have seen me there I feel confident that 1 saw her. I did not see Buechel'. In- deed I would uot have known him as Buechel', and although I looked on the register, not finding Somerset there had tio idea that he, really was there. I stayed in New "York from Wednesday till the following. Monday 'When 1 bought a transcontinental tieket to California and took the train.

It was there and then that I lost my monele I was fleeeed. I had just enough left t.) take me to Tuesan, Arizona, and there I' went. When I left Woodstock it was with the intention of changing my mode of living. I had no delinite plans; I had no positive in- tention of remaining away for good, neither had 1 any intention of settling down on my farm again and returning. 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."
