laid that he had always liked the family,
and would not have harmed them had It
not been for tho fact that ho was bullied
Into what he had done. He said he armed
himself with an ax, not to hurt any of tho
people in the house, but to prevent their
escaping, as he had been told to watch a

planned by Bud McKnlght, a white
who was a suitor of tho girl, Maude Miller,
whose mother, Mrs. Cotton, whipped her
for allowing McKnlght's attentions. This
Is the only motive he knew for the crime.
He said at first that Arch Joiner shot Cot

Tho trouble arose from the alleged condi

her here, four negro sailors from tho West
Indies, say she is not seaworthy, and they
demanded a hearing before the British

abandoned hor when she cast anchor off
Stapleton, and were succeeded Tuesday by
Edwards as captain, and a new mate.
Tho crew meantime, according to their
statements to local boatman who went
out to the vessel, were kept prisoners.
Yesterday the tug Guiding Star wont

refused to move, reiterating their demand
that they be put ashore with their dun

ordered the 'longshoremen toproceod with
