Minneapolis, Minn, "You are to blame le. You are the one that led my hus band into the crimes, and you are the one that got him Killed; you be- trayed him; friend." Dec. 20.- This was the passionate outburst Sullivan | | greeted "Red" Ryan the robber, as; his | coll at the city jail yesterday. The | with which Mrs. Arthur she confronted the in prisoner widow had delayed her return to Toronto at the last minute when Chief Brunekill told her she could see the robber in custody. The widow Was accompanied by Daniel | Sullivan. Ryan did not know the woman, but recognized her brother as soon as the two came up to his eell door. Two officers stood on each side of the pair as they talked Ryan. The outlaw held out hand to Sullivan, who but when he turned to Mrs, Sullivan, on the man telling him who it was, the widow spurned his cordial wel- come &nd burst out in denouncia-| tion. hh Fglon Protested. The g"n on Ryan's his to rather a serious expression and | as she continued to abuse him, the felon protested: "No, not me, I did not turn my oM pal up. It was the 'skirt' that gave him away, just as' always told him they would," he insisted. "No, it's you. You are the one that they tell me was always boast- ing of being a hero and a fearless robber. You are a cheap crook and always had women following you round and it was your women and the letters you were writing them and they to you that got you locat- | ed in Minneapolis and got you in Jail and my husband killed." And the woman began to sob. Brother Quieted Her. The brother quieted her and then the conversation with Ryan becams more ordered. The outlaw asked about his brother in Toronto and about Sullivan's sister in Detroit, whom the pair visited on December third just before coming back to Minneapolis. The talk continued for several minutes and later the two talked with the Canadian offi- cers and the chief. If there was any secret communication between Ryan and the Sullivans in the talk, it was not apparent. They did ask him if he knew of any money that the dead robber had left anywhere and Ryan answered no, that they were broke when the fight started here that resulted In Art being killed. The police believe that it was because of an alleged cache of Joot believed by all who knew the pair to be in some daposit vault or | in some safe place 'hat the Sullivans wanted to see Ryan to get a line on.

They think Ryan's brother in Toronto supplied the funds for this trip, but the couple deny this and say that they &id not have enough money to take the body | back and had to wire their father in Detroit. That was the reason they had not caught the early morning train. Daniel Sullivan does not look ke a orook, and his hands are cal- loused lke those of & man doing hard work, He says he is a carpenter in Detroit. Fear Suicide. Fearing that "Red" Ryan may at- tempt to do himself bodily harm rather than return to Canada, Chief Frank Brunskill ordered a further « guard placed around his cell in the oity jedl here. The jallars constantly watch over the prisoner and no one 18 now allowed to see or talk with . him. This action followed a conference . Chief Brunskill had with Ryan. Dur ing the conversation Ryan told the chief that he would rather die than return to Portsmouth. Ryan's atti- tude toward the police has changed during the last twenty-four hours. Now he refuses to discuss his career of banditry while before he was will- re- © "I'm through talking. chief," Ryan sald "T wont say another word or my name to anything.
