CONFESSION OF
WHVERFDLLDWS
SECOND ARREST
Man Implicated in Druid Hills
Trolley Tragedy by Charley
Walker's Confession Admits
Guilt
Willfam Schley Howard, solicitor of
DeKalb county, after a conference with
City Detectives Elack and Bullard, an
nounced Saturday afternoon the DeKalb
county grand Jury would be called in a
special session to give the negroes, ac
cused of the Druid Hills trolley hold-up
tesultmg in the murder of Motorman
8 T. Brown and the wounding of Con
ductor W 11. Bryson, a speedy trial.
The city detectives stated that they had
completed taking their evidence on the
case and would be ready tor trial at any
lime they are called upon oy the officers
ot DeKalb county, where the hold-up
occurred and where the negroes must be
tried.- • . .
oaturday afternoon Ed Weaver, the ne
gro who was arrested at the Nichol*
grading camp aftei the confession of
Charley WajKer. under pressure of the
cross-examination by the detectives, made
a complete con(esa.on, corroborating in
e* efy octail the story told by " alker.
The double confession assures the con
viction of the four men. so it is stated
by the detectives working on the case.
In making hi* statement. Weaver told the
full story of the crime.
“Jim Black.” he said, ■•started the whole
business—we were all in camp together,
v ben Jim said that he had to have some
money, and asked u* to hold-up me street
cat.
“Jim was the only man with a gyn
and he had two pistols. You know. Will
Johnson got stiot in the chest six months
ago. and he was not much account. *o
Jim gave him the other pistol. Me and
Charlev didn’t have any guns.
TO ROB PASSENGERS.
-We wanted to get the passengers,
aud so we went, up to me car ir-.c...
and hid in a little clump of oushes.
Jim Black told us to go after all the
passengers, if there Were not too many
of them. When we started out we
didn’t think about robbing the car men.
but wanted the passengers.
•'After we sat down oeuind the bushes
waiting for the car. Jim Black told me
and Will Johnson to go togetner to the
iront end of the car. while he and Char
ley Walker went to the other end.
•When the car came up. Jim said, as
there were no passengers, he would get
bis money form the car men.
“Will Johnson and I went after the
motorman and Charley Walker and Jim
went for the conductor. The men saw
us about the same time. I guess, be
cause the white man that Johnson shot
started to get on the car and turned to
look up into Wili s gun Just at the
time I heard Jim Black say. ‘gimme
your coin.*
"WE ALL RAN.”
"When Will shot the man in the face
and he fell down dead, we all ran. and
all came to town except Charley Walker,
and he went back to his shack at the
camp."
Walker’s confession, as published Sat
urday afternoon is not correct In some
minor details, the most important be
ing the alleged fact- that Black and
Walker shot Conductor W. H. Bryson in
the back.
The account of the confession as pub
rTshed Saturday afternoon was given to
The Journal by Detective Sergeant Lan
ford. who at that time had not received
full details from his subordinates.
In his confession, made after the arrest
Os Weaver, but not in his presence. Walk
er stated that Black shot the conductor
and gives the following version of the
cold-blooded affair:
"GIMME YOl’R COIN.”
“W'hen Jim and I separated from John
son and Weaver and went after the con
ductor. Jim had the gun. He put It in
the man s face and said: ‘Gimme your
Coin.*
‘The whit • man held up his handfc—
I was so scared that I didn't know what
to do and Just stood there looking at the
two men.
"Then Jim Black says. ‘What's the mat
ter with you. nigger. I will shoot you too,
first thing you know.*
'Then I went up behind the white man
and grabbed him behind the waist. Jim
jerked his money belt away from him and
says. ‘White man. can you run?*
"When the man said that he could Jin>
trld him to hike out
"Just a minute after he started. Jim
aiiot h.m in the back and we all ran. I
went back to the shack and Jim went to
tvwn with all the money.
TO DIVIDE SPOHJt.
"Jim l ad told me while we were wait
ing for the car that he would come by
my place Sunday morning and that we
would all divide up the money evenly.”
Jim Black didn't have a chance to di
vide up the money as two of the four
men were in custody the next morning,
while he was arrested during the day.
The detectives were particularly glad
to learn that Jim Black kept all of the
stolen money, as he was the only negro
arrested fnr the crime, who had an un
usual amount of money on his person. It
was shown at the time of his arrest that
be had spent several dollars besides the
$7, which he had in his pocket, when
taken in custody by Sheriff Mangum.
Charley Walker was arrested shortly
after the murder, by Officers Black and
Bullard, who arrested Will Johnson—the
man who shot the motorman—last Mon
•day. Ed Weaver was arrested for the
second time on Saturday following the
confession of Walker.
Charley Walker was actuated largely
by a desire to help his brother, when he
made his confession. Emmett Walker
was held on purely circumstantial evi
dence. but the officers had decided to
bring him to trial with his brother. Em
mett was sick and tired of his fncercera
'tion and urged his brother to confess.
Tbe four men Were all being held at
poHce headquarters Saturday.
The officers will probably hold them tn
'Fulton county until the cases are called
.for trial by the DeKalb county grand
jury.- They will then be taken to Dei-a
--• tur.
H. B. Pierce, assistant superintend-nt
of Pinkerton s national detective agency,
and two of his men were associated with
'JJetectives Black and Bullard tn work
ing out the hard case. Both of the At
lanta men have stated that they were

PLAYMATE~SHOOTS boy
WHILE PLAYING “COWBOY”
' 'DALTON, Ga.. May 9.—While playing
"cowboy” with a number of his young
‘companions on Fort Hill Saturday after
noon shortly before dark. Jack Smith, the
15-year-oid son of Mr. Brawner SYnith,
was probably fatally wounded ty I eir.g
shot with a pistol by Carter Tankersley,
'■ the H-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. G.
Tankersley. The bullet entered the
youth's head through the mouth, several
teeth being knocked out.
: Ten young boys, between the ages of
12 and 16. had erected tents on Fort Hill
and were having "wild west shows”
every afternoon. Saturday they succeed
ed in persuading young Tankersley io se
cui e his father's .32-caiiter pistol to
make the show more realistic, and it
was while they were snapping the pistol
that young Smith was wounded.
The injured boy was hurried home and
the boys had all arranged to tell that he
'had fallen down and hurt himself. This
story they held to until about 6 o'clock
when the boy who did the shooting told
how it was done.
He stated, and the other boys bore him
out in his statement. that they didn’t
, know the pistol was loaded and had
snapped it several times before it went
off. He was snapping It when Jack
I Smith ran in front of him. The cartridge
exploded and the ball entered the young
* boy's head. He was «o close to the
weapon that his chin was badly burned
by the powder smoke. All of the boys
were so badly frightened that they made
up the false statement.
I Physicians were hurried to ti>v vround

10 KILLED.SO HURT
IN ON EXPLOSION IN
BIG POWDER MILL
Magazine of General Explo
sives Co., at Ottawa, Blows
Up—Fire in Workshop At
tracts Crowd to Scene
OTTAWA, May 9.—An explosion which
shook Canada’s capital to the founda
tions and sent the people into the streets
in panic, occurred just before 6 o'clock
Sunday night when the magazine of the
General Explosives company, located
four miles away, across the Ottawa river
on the outskirts of the French city of
Hull, blew up. ,
Ten aie known to be dead and at
least EO are injured, some very seriously.
Fire broke out in the workshop of the
factory, attracting to the neighborhood
a crowd of a thousand men and boys
who had been watching a baseball game
in a field nearby. Warnings were disre
g'arded and the crowd stayed until two
terrific explosions filled the air with a
mass of stone which had formed the
walls of tne factory.
VICTIMS ARE MOWED DOWN.
Men and boys were mowed down as by
a tire of artillery. The nearest houses of
workmen were a quarter of a mile from
the factory, but the flying debris reached
many of these. In front of one of these
Fernand Iznirin was mangled, while his
wife, who had been beside him,* was left
uni but covered with the blood of
her ausband.
Two deal and dumb sisters were killed
at their supper table by a half-ton boul
der which had traveled half a mile. One
of their heads was cut entirely off toy
flying fragments.
The electric light plant was damaged,
adding to the difficulty of hunting the
injured. Plate glass windows five miles
away were broken by the shocks. This
is considered as under estimated. Prac
tically every window in Hull was broken
and glass was broken in every part of
Ottawa.
WINDOWS TWO MILfcS OFF BROKEN.
Windows were blown out of the Can
adian parliament building; the official
residence of the governor general, which
was only two miles from the scene of the
explosion, lost practically all of its win
dows and two chimneys came down. Earl
Grey and the entire household were so
alarmed that they sought safety in the
open.
Hull has twice sought orders from the
court for the removal of this industry,
hut the company each time was able to
convince the court that its methods pro
vided for absolute safety.
The Quebec law requires explosives to
be made behind heavy walls instead of
the flimsy structure ordinarily employed
In such works, and this largely accounts
for the loss of life. r
The property damage is probably .within
JICO.OOO. The parish church of the Holy
Redeemer, half a mile away, contaipel
an unusual number of statues. The head
of every one of these was shaken off,
while the bodies were left standing.
PERRYTs STABBED
BY JOHN MAYNARD
DALTON, Ga., May 6.—John Maynard,
the 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bob
Maynard, severely wounded James Perry,
a married man, with a knife at Tilton
Thursday afternoon. The two were en
gaged in a light when Maynard opened
his knife and gashed Perry in several
places, two cuts in the left side coming
near proving fatal.
According to Maynard's story they
were working on a house at Tilton and
began fussing. Perrj’ struck him and to
escape a fight he turned and ran, Perry
pursuing him. Perry caught up with
him and knocked him down and was
making a rough-and-tumble affair of it
what Maynard drew his knife and began
cutting him.
Perry's injuries were so severe that a
physician from this city was hurried to
Tilton by automobile. The wounded
man has two severe cuts in his chest,
and is cut about the face and neck, back
and leg. It is believed he will recover
from his injuries.

TEXJS PIONEER IN
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Indians Knew of Use. Before
Whites Came in, Probably
Due to Seamy Rainfall
New York Herald.
FORT WORTH. Tex.—Texas, although
one of the youngest states in the union
in development, is the pioneer in irriga
tion. The beginning of irrigation in
western Texas antedates any records so
far found, and it ,1s probable that in no
portion of tlie United States is the prac
tice older, is the • claim made by J. C.
Nagle, who is professor of civil en
gineering at the Agricultural and Me
chanical College of Texas. , Scanty and
irregular distribution .of rainfall was
doubtless the cause of Its use in the be
ginning, and ev.en at later dates, when
unnumbered acres of fertile lands could
be had for little more than the trouble
of preparing them for cultivation. Coro
nado, on his journey northward in the
early part of the 16th century, so history
tells us, found well established systems
of irrigation in the vicinity of El Paso,
utilizing water from the Rio Grande on
both sides of its present channel.
Tradition tells us that the Pueblo In
dians of Ysleta'claimed that ancient irri
gation systems of great extent were built
centuries ago by the Yuma Indians on
the'Pecos river in the vicinity of Pecos
and Grand Falls, but the constant raids
by the Comanche and Apache Indians
caused- them to move on to the valley of
the Rio Grande, only to be followed there
by their old enemies and forced to move
out to the Colorado of the west. In the
vicinity of the Toyah Springs evidence is
found indicating that these waters were
used for irrigation purposes long before
the first white man found his way
there. ,
At San Antonio, where the Franciscan
fathers founded their missions, they di
rected tlie construction of canals by the
Indians. These canals were used not only
for supplying k-ater to the missions for
domestic puiqioses, but for Irrigation az
well. Among the ditches constructed
between the years 1716 and 1t74 may be
mehtioned the Conception, Alamo. San
Jose, San Juan and Espada. Irt 1730 the
San Pedro ditch was built by immigrants
from the Canary islands, and was used
for conducting water to the cultivated
fields. For many years this ditch was
conducted for field irrigation on farms,
and even to this day this old ditch is in
operation and being used constantly. It
supplied water for a large percentage of
the city lawns a few years ago in San
Antonio, and was" extensively used tor
domestic purposes.
At old Fort San Saba, near Menardville.
the present home of James Callain, presi
dent of the Texas Catle Raisers’ associa
tion, the remains of an Irrigation system
constructed in 1774, also by the Franciscan
fathers, can still be traced. At this time
Texas was under Spanish tuIP,-but since
then has sworn allegiance to and floated
five different fla»;s
As early as 1852 the fourth legislature
passed an act relative to irrigation. In
ISB2 the 17th legislature passed an act
making large giants of land for the
construction Os Irrigation ditches. There
were several classes and a number of
sections of land granted per mile of ditch
varied with the class. In 1889 and in 1895
additional regulations were established
with a view of encouraging irrigation.
The The result of some of these enact
ments was the projection of rtumeious
irrigation schemes, many of Which were
"boom” propositions ,from the start,
while others proved failures when con
structed because of-the lack of sufficient
hydrograpnlc and othw data.
As west Texas wfis pioneer in ancient
irrigation 50 it is in modern, as irriga
tions along the lines now practised, be
gan to develop first in this section of
the state. The first diteh IM the vicinity
of Rel Rio was constructed in 1868, anoth
er in 1860 and another, jh . 1874. On the
Pecos one of the present large systems
was built tn 1575, another in 1887 and
another in 1896. It might habeen ex
pected that the. old?r systems in, the vi
cinity of El Paso vi'ould have suggested
earlier extensions imder present>methods,
but work of this character did not be
come active until about 1889 to .1891. At.
Fort Stockton and fpr the. Nueces drain
age area it began as early as 1876. . On
the Concho, San -Saha, Ltano and "Other
tributaries of 'the Colorado river irriga
tion systems began to spring up about
A1875. and possibly,earlier, and these, were
{added, to. about 1879, hut tills work be-
Lcame most active in the '9Cs.

Hope For Consumptives
Many consumptives and persons suffering from lung trouble, who had given up all hope of ever being well again,
have been, and are being, today restored to health and happiness by the wonderful discovery of Judd Q. Lloyd, the
eminent scientist who discovered a marvelous preparation for the successful treatment of consumption and lunjr
troubles, known as AICSOL (LLOYD,) and for this discovery was. on Dec. 15th, 1908, awarded a diploma of merit
by the London Society of Science, Letters and Arts of London, England, in recognition of his valuable services to
mankind in discovering AICSOL (LLOYD.)

BOY ■ KILLED POUND
15 PROSTRATED BI GRIEF
MILLEDGEVILLE. Ga., May 7.—One
of the most tragical occurrences in years
in this section was caused by a so-called
unloaded gun here at noon today, when
Jere M. Pound, Jr., son of the state
school commissioner, was accidentally
killed by a playmate. With a playful
remark the boy pointed the gun at his
schoolmate, and pulled the trigger with
fatal result. •
Young Pound’s side was torn off and
his backbone severed, causing death in
stantly. - •
The boy who did the shooting is in a
critical condition, as he was a classmate
of young. Pound, who was in the sopho
more class at the Georgia Military col
lege here, and regarded as one of the
brightest children of this. city.
He,was just 15 years of age. but had

BIG HATS’fHE’LiMrT
VOLIVA DECLARES
CHICAGO, May 9. —"Ministerial jump
ing jacks” and big hats were among
the things discussed yesterday by the
Rev. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, general over
seer of the Christian Apostolic church In
Zion, and successor to the late John Al
exander Dowie, in the first of a series
of monthly sermons which he intends
to deliver in Zion tabernacle, Michigan
avenue and Sixteenth street.
"Ministers should be sent, not called.”
he said. "There never was a greater
farce on God’s earth than congregation
al government. The preacher should be
the boss. 1 intend to be the boss of my
church.
"The candidating of ministers resem
bles the horse show at a county fair.
The candidates are all curried and Comb
ed and undergo Inspection and criti
cism. just as the horses do. and all for
the sake of congregational approval.
They are ministerial Jumping Jacks."
Mr. Voliva pleaded for tolerance and
broad-mindedness In the churcn.
"Every person,” he said, “should be
free to eat and drink whatever ne
chooses, so long as it does not injure
him or his neighbor. Freedom of Indi
vidual action should be respected by the
church. Only, I think that women’s hats
have about reached the limit."
