Peterson Offers Plea While Proclaiming Innocence
After two hours with County Attorney Matt Canning William Peterson offered to plead guilty to the dynamite attack on the Salvation Army hall but insisted he was innocent of the crime. He testified of his movements the night of the blast and said he received $2 from an adjutant for work and spent it in saloons. Peterson claimed he was picked out of the gutter in Seattle and felt used by the Army. Detectives and jail confessions were cited but reliability was unclear. He denied handling powder or knowing explosives. He faces potential trial if his plea is rejected.
