The story he tells will bo more paticularly startling to Joseph O. Mackin than to thopublic, whichhas all ulong been pretty well convine.d that he was the contriver of all the “five work” dore in the election frauds, the chief instigator of all con- spiracies, and also the prompter of the suc- cessive perjuries which have pluvged mre than one poor dupe into a sea of trouble, Gilmore is the man who swore to a lie 1 ref- ereuce to the preparation of substitute tickets for the Eighteenth ward —polls He was committed to the conny jail on a charge of perjury, and has been ~ waiting all this time for his employer, Mackin, to come to his aid. Findiog that he has bern deserted, he determined to make a clean breast of it and requested District Attorney Tuthill to come snd see him in jail. The result ot ths iuterview 18 an affidavit by the pris.ner, in whica ho gives full details of the perjury he wan guilty of To u reporter this afterncon Gilmore said: ‘T have been thinkiog of makiug a confeasion for a long time, From the day 1 came into this hols the people whom I worked for never came to see me and when T asked them to aid me refused, I sent to Jos Mackin aud oth.ra of the gang to have them engage a democe: lawyer for me, and they eent back word that the court would take care of me aud appoint lawyer to defend me frce of cost. Just think of it, to let a republican ju'ge ap- point a republican lawyer to tuke care of my case, He'd piay into the hands of the other side right along snd I'd be played for a sucker., When the gang got done with me they would throw me aside. I swore to get even, and I told them I would, Mackin or some one elte sent me word that if I equealsd I'd be killed as soon as I put my nose wutside of the jail, Thie made we mad, for if the gang had stood by me I never would have gone back on it, I would rather have gone to the penitentiary or swuug, firet.
