Fugitive Member of the St. Louis House of Delegates Combine Returns and Surrenders. HE HAS MADE A COMPLETE CONFESSION.

ou the StreneTth f it Ctreall noraai loii. Him laanei Ifaerante . 1 last stlarhteen laeaaes ana Präsent Maaaaave r tha Heese ' Delegat ea St. Louis, Sept. 9. A rost-Dispatch extra, leaned at. BOOn, Monday, -ays: k. htturraM, who led from st. Lottie alter indictment for attempted bribery, forfeiting his bond, hai been brought hack to St. Louis and turned over the authorities. Efforts to force hi- return through legal channels failed, ami it was generally 11 timed that both he and Kratz could -pend the rc-t of their lives in sc. 111 ity in Mexico if they wished; bill Murrell is In st. i.ouis, through tke efforts of the Poat-Dispatek. "Muriel!, who negotiated with the Suburban railway representatives for the ITSiOM that was to be paid to member- of the house of delegatea combine for their rotas, hn- made a full confession to Circuit Attorney Kolk I hat confession name- the men wlm composed the bOUeC coinl.ine. "It -lates that the combine was an association of house members formed for the purpose of getting money for votes in favor of measui's presented to the a-sembly. "It net- forth that the iii eiinu- of the combine were often held in a room off the house chamber, and details business proceedings of the combine. "The confession is Startling in ItS revelation of the thorough business organization of this association formed to rob. When a lio a.'ire of magnitude was presented to the assembly, the combine would hold a meeting and decide by ball -t the amount of money t be demanded for its passage. That decided, an intermediary would be Sleeted, one of the members being thus selected 1 receive the money and to divide it among the members of the combine. In this way the reprcsentaiv e of the individuals of corporation who had Introduced the bill dealt with only one man in each house. It is for this reason that Philip Stock and Charles H. Turner, representing the Suburban company, could give positive i lence against only two men: J. K. Murrell, repre-. nt nur the house combine, and Charles Krut, representing the council combine. "J. K. Murrell. however, not only a member, but the accredited representative of the house combine, could give all information regarding members and affnirs of Hint combine and he has done so. All its dealings, not only in the Suburban rase, hut on other bills, is in the hands of the circuit attorney, with uinpicst iona tile proof of every detail. "To complete the clean sweep for New St. Louis, it is only necessary that Kratz, or some other amber f the council combine, come to the front. This is not impossible. It is not even improbable. And, venturing a prophecy, even this may not be neces-ary in order to "land"' the council boodlers. "An interesting fact revealed by Murrell's confession is the discovery that Mr. Folk's deduction . made from his investigation of the boodle situation and brought out in his eir cumstaiitial evidence nnd argument in the Lehmunn and Faulkner trial-, have been proved to be entirely correct. They are confirmed in detail by Murrll's statement. "Warrants have been issued hy Circuit Attorney Folk against is former and present members of the house of delegates. All 18 are charged with bribery in connection with the Suburban and other bill-, and II of the 1H are charged with per im v be canst of testimony gives by them before the grand jury . "These warrants ure issued on the Confession of 1. K. Murrell. vvlo. is now in the custody of the circuit attorney. "It is charged that the men lor whom warrants nre out composed a 'combine' la the bonae of delegates at the nine the Suburban railway nnd other boodle bills were passed." Contract Let fur m llrlilur.
