being Che affidavit of one of the Jurors
that ha agreed to the verdict of guilty be-

In th court above He has not yet been

San Francisco August 10 Jack Winters
who was arrested for tho Selby smelting
works robbery baa confessed the crime
and so far 130000 worth of bullion has
been recovered from the bay where he had
sunk It For three days the detectives
made every effort t6 Induce Winters to
confess but without avail llnally ho
asked to see Superintendent Kopp of the
works who he said was the only friend
hi had In his conversation with Kopp
Winters manner Indicated that he knew
where the gold had been hidden Itopp told
him that they had a strong case agilnst
him and that he would be sent to prison
for thirty years He said You will be
an old man when yon get out and It will
do you no good to hldo the gold We know
It is hidden in tho water near the woiks
and we will search every Inch You may-
be sure that the gold will be found befoic
you get out of prison
Winters finally weakened and told Hopp
that he had taken the gold nnd would take
him to the spot where it was hidden In
company with Superintendent Ropp and a
force of detectives he left on n tug last
night for Crockett There they waited nil
night for low tide Winters pointed tho
pince at the end of the railroad wharf be-
hind the coal bunkers at the beginning
of the Vallejo ferry slip At that point
at low tide the mud is about four feet
deep covered by a foot of water When
the tug reached Crockett Winters pointed
out the spot In the water where he said ho
had thrown tho gold Superintendent Itopp
marked the place on the wharf and the
tug steamed away to wait for low tide
This morning Winters himself got Into the
mud and water up to his neck and for nn
hour and a half groped for the missing
bullion Up to 10 oclock MROOOO worth
hid been recovered This Includes the four
birs of fine gold Winters had put sAmo
of the bais In bags He said that one of
the bags had broken nnd some bars hid
dropped out It Is now only a question of
careful icarch to find the rest of the 2S0
000 Winters claims that he did the Job
alone He scys tint he made fourteen
trlpB from the vault to the wharf from
which he dropped the gold Tho smelter
officials however arc positive that he re
celved assistance from some one The do
It nil himself Is correct
The tug with the detectives and prisoner
Wlntcts on board haj teturned to this city
Winters when he had made up his mind
to tell what he knew about the crime wis
exceedingly willing to give all the Informa-
tion necessary towaid the recovery of tho
bullion He acted mote like one ot tho
detectives than a prlsoucr As soon as he
arrived at tho waters edge he picked UP
thice stones nhd pacing forward tossed
one Into the water It fell to the south
of the spot nt which tho prlhoncr stood
Another stone fell to the cast and the third
was thrown directly In front of Winters
That said the prisoner will mark the
water boundary of the place win re jonr
gold Is hidden Stepping to the left Win-
ters drew a nail from his pocket and asked
for a hammer He then paced no a few
j arils to the right nnd drove another nail
In the timber
lho gold he continued will be found
between two nails sotnewhire In Hue with
tho spots marked bj the stones I Jut thiew

A small skiff was secured and into which
Sheriff Vale Detective Kimball ofthellnk

bricks He talked glibly nil the while
Tho deep mud finally put a stop to opera
tlons and it was decided to build a coffer
dim befoie tijlng to recover tho rest of
< h < r treasure
Winters Bald that he planned the robbery
long ago with minute detail He hid been
two or three months working on his little
tunnel It was two nights labor to cut
