A VOLUME OF CONFESSIONS.
Names of Two Hundred Bald Knobbers Revealed by One of the Outlaws.
OZARK, Mo., April 23.- The Bald Knob prisoners are gaining confidence as Graves and Inman become terrified over the fact that their confessions did not relieve them from indictment. Jack Hiles has become convinced of the enormity of the crimes committed and made a clean breast of his part of the raids, giving the names of 200 members of the organization, and relating particulars of the descent on E. P. Helms' house and the destruction of John R. Hodes' whisky shop. Graves has agreed to take the Sheriff to the place where the Bald Knobbers masks and arms are concealed. The Grand Jury will report fourteen more indictments for murder in the first degree for the killing of Wm. Green.
