A Confession of Murder
Red Bluff, Dec. 12 --In April last A. D. Buck of this county was found dead on his ranch with a bullet hole through his body.
The officers have never relaxed their efforts to find the murderers.
Suspicion was fastened upon the following individuals: W. R. Donnalson, John Cluckey, and John F. Martin. The district attorney has succeeded in getting a full confession out of all of them.
Donnalson did the shooting and the others were accessories. The confession develops a plot that has never been equaled by the fiendish work of Troy Dye and his associates.
They accused the deceased of poisoning some horses belonging to them and agreed that the first one of the three who saw him was to shoot the "old badger," as they called him.
