A rumor has been circulated about the city to the effect that Vesley has confessed that he! committed the murder. County Attorney E. E. McDonald, when asked about the matter this af- ternoon, stated that he had noth- | ing to say. Deputy Sheriff John | Bailey denies thatany confession has been made. interviewed this afternoon. He refused to say anything about the erime what- ever and seemed to harbor ill feeling against all newspaper men in geueral. He would not make any statement about thel! case, except that the newspape Vesley was hzd misvepresented him in pic- turing him as a desperate char-| acter, He said that the report to| the effect that two 1'c\'ul‘.‘t:l‘s: were hidden under his pillow when he wi ed atthe howe of his p t Green Bay, | been arrested on any charge,”’ said Vesley, “and I will be d d glad when the time for my trial‘ only twoj comes along. It’s months yet, but it seems a long time when you arelocked up in a cell.” Vesley said that yesterday morning before leaving the Ram- sey county jail he had a talk with Gottschalk, murderer ‘of Chris- tian H. Schindeldecker, and that Gottschalk wasin a very nervous condition. He wes surprised to hear about Gottschalk’s suicide and expressed himself as pleased that the convicted murderer had cheated the gallows. ¢“If I ever get sentenced to hang,” said “Shorty,” “I will certainly try to commit suicide.” Vesley talked quite freely with a deputy who was present while he was being interyiewed, but kept the conversation away from the Dahl affair as much as pos- sible. He used very fonl and pro- fane language and oaths accom- panied every sentence. He is apparently 30 years of age and is about five fect »nd six inches in height. 1le has blue eyes and dark brown hair. He was arrested at Green Bay, Wis , on March 27. and was taken to St. Paul by Sheriff Bailey on April 2. Since the latter date he ‘has been held at th: Ramsey county jail until last night, when he was brought to Bemidji. TICKETS MAY BE RETURNED If.
