Goadie's Confession.

THI BEGINNING OF HIS OARBIR OF CRIME.

Ooudie, the principal in the Liver pool Bank frauds, has made a conCee fion, whioh hag been published in ex tenao. io it the convict describes how he was led into a career of crime. The beginning Ie thus told;-— "Towards the end of November 1893 I was pushed lor money, and my landlady was pressing me for the pay saent of my rooms. In addition, I owed £40 or so to a money-lender, whote same I do not care to dUclcne. At this time, November 1899,1 waa ledger clerk, and kept ledgers H to X, foeltuive, working accounts. Mr R W Hudson's private account waa in my ©harge. I noticed that be had been drawing email cheques in favour of a Mr Style, I got a blank cheque from a ©lerk at the bank upon payment of one penny. I drew a cheque for £100 on November 15,1899, in favour o! Jane Style, and signed it • R W Hudson. 1 1 went to the branch office of the North and South Wake Bank in Park Road, Liverpool, and showed the manager there the cheque, and told him that the payee was my mother, who had i banking acoonnt at one of their branches. I asked him to collect the cheque for me, which the bank did, and on November 18 the money wag paid tome over the counter. WJtb this money I paid my landlady and the money-lender, and generally got oat of j debt. I had £20 or £80 left. I en- \ deavonred to get back the money by backing horses, bat was unsuccessful, I loit the earn mentioned, and had to resort to other means to secure the £100 I leib. On December § I drew Knottier cheque for £100 in favour of Mm Style, and aigned it « R W Had-

On one occasion Stiles told me that Kelly was an'absolutely safe man, and if I followed hii le&d I wrs bound to com© out ob the top, as he had done on many occasions. About the same time Kelly told me that Sfeiles waa worth » too of money, and had large transactions on the Stock Exchange, and could put me on some good thing? there. Stiles endorsed what Kelly bad said about his position and means. HOW KELLY AND STILES DUPED HIM Dealing generally with my transac tions with Kelly and Stilee, they were aasoaiated together in order to dupe me, which they did effectually, I have, as far as my memory serves me, been victimised to tde extent of £78,000 odd, and all that I have ever had from the one has been reoeived by the other. This refers to Kelly and Stiles. The usual procedure was for Kelly to Bend me money, and for Stiles to obtain it from me. £205 was sent soe by Kelly immediately before I left the bank. That is practically all I got out of the associations of Kelly and Stiles; As an example of how Kelly aad Stiles duped me, I was supposed to have won on September 27, at Man ebesier, oo Konigswfnter, £40,000, On the following day 1 still supposed I had this amount) to my credit. I went to Manchester races. I was too late for the first race, and the horses were going to the post tor the second. 1 wanted to back a .„„, hone named Yanrtella, bat upon the stand I met Stiles, He said I had got XIO,OOO each' way on Forse. Kelly owned it, and said it was a walk over for It j further, that Kelly had de clared to him that I was on Forse to the amount of £5000 each way. I told Stiles the name of the horse I wanted to back. I could not see Kelly, so had to abide by what Stiles said. Vanstella iroo ß Forse was nowhere. Kelly oame up to me after the race. THB " PINK MAY" STOEY, The next race, juntas the horses were gofcg down to the post, Kelly oame op to Stiles and me. He told Stilea he had £10,000 each way "Pink May," and I was on to the extent of £5000 each way. I had already told Stiles I wanted to hack Vogelkop, I told Kelly X did not wint to have any thing to do with his «Pink May," but wanted Io back Vogelkop, Tbe race was Just about starting when Kelly practically Insisted on wj bet on " Pink May" standing good, and did riot back Vogelkop^ As usual, he said ./it waa simply a walk-over for the horse he iaid he had backed for me, Vogtlkop won ; Pink May waa miles off. On these two races I was sup posed to have lost £20,000 against my wish. Had the horses T selected been basked legitimately, I should have won i£BB,OOO-*-a difference of £58,000. With regard to my whole conduct, I should like to say that, of coarse, I be-

gam ia a small way, and in endeavour fog to extricate myself I went a little further. On more than one occasion I wa» nearly iquare, bot from the time 1 fell into the clutches of Kelly and Stiles, and subsequently Mances, Marks, and Co., and the rest, I recog nised they had me in their power, and that i had no alternative but to go on. I destroyed til the cheques in question i ia this case*
