Louis Reveals Operations. OFFICER KEMP SHOT TRUE TO THE MARK PRISONER WITH BULLET WOUND IN NECK ADMITS HE WAS SHOT WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE. Had it not been for the disturbance at the Airdome 014 the night of June 11, when the sun rose on the morning of the there probably would have been a lot of wrecked safes and offices in Mexico, for the three yeggs, Burns, Priest and Kelly, who have numerous aliases, had planbed an elaborate blowing-up for Mexico. Postoffice Inspector Adolph Bunsen, who was here today securing more evidence with which to convict the three men who are under arrest in St. Louis, said to a reporter for The that the prisoners had confessed and exhibited a diagram showing Pollock's Mill and its relative distance to the Alton and Wabash stations and the Hathaway warehouse under which the yeggs had stored tools and explosives.
"Pollock's said Mr. Bunsen, was one of the jobs laid out for Saturday night, June 12 and here it is." The officer displayed a sheet of paper, which showed the stations and railroad tracks with figures placed at certain points, the numbers representing the men whose stations 88 guards were designated on the map. When told that the safe at the mill contained 110 money and bore a sign which said it Was unlocked, the men replied that when they found a safe unlockled, they filled it with dynamite and blew it up anyway just to show their contempt. Priest, is the man who had an "ulcerated when he WaS arrested. It developed later that the man had a bullet wound which extended from the back of his neck to his mouth.
He confessed to the officers that he was shot by Night Officer Jas. H. Kemp while running down the alley east of the Airdome when he was trying to escape. The bullet tore through the muscles of Priest's neck and came out at the left of his mouth. Priest is a bad man.
The officers say he has figured in holdups all over the country. He has seven bullet holes in his body, where he has been shot through. It is related of Priest that he once attempted a job at Tulsa, and a couple of his pals had no "shooting irons." Priest and another man went out and held up two policemen under an electric light, blew open a safe and left the policemen's revolvers on the floor as exidence of the deed. Inspector Bunsen said that the men had confessed the Wellsville, and Tipton, safe-blowing jobs and various other crimes over the West and South. They told him where they had hidden their outfit here and early this morning, the inspector in company with Postmaster Kunkel, went down to the Hathaway warehouse and dug up a quanity of automatic pistol cartridges, a cake of soap, a roll of cotton, some fine steel drills and punches.
Mr. Bunsen then inquired at the Crown Laundry and secured a bandle of laundered shirts and collars, which were left there by the trio. "It was fortunate the men were drank here that night' said the inspector, for it gave 118 a clue which has worked out well. I am confident that the man who shot first down there at the Airdome did it unintentionHe was trying to get 8 shell into the chamber of his when it exploded prematurely." Night Officer Kemp sports A fine automatic, which he took from Priest in the alley. Had he used it when he shot at Priest, instead of his own gun, there probably would have been a coroner's inquest next day.
