CONFLICTING REPORTS OF
A CONFESSION.
Taylor Said to Have Exoner-
ated Brown in One Story and
in Another Says He was
With Him When the Deed
was Done.

A dispatch to the Sun from
Frederick Tuesday night states
that ArmiStead Taylor, who was
convicted and sentenced to death
for the murder of Dora Rosenstein
on May l3, at her home in SlideIl,
Montgomery County, had made
confession and sworn affidavit
stating that he had killed both
Louis RoSenstein and his wife,
and that John Alfred Brown was
innocent.
This caused considerable excite.
ment as rumorS to that effect had
been spread. Sheriff Patterson
said that TAYLOR had admitted
that he had killed both Rosen
stein and his wife, but Brown
was with him at the time and was
an accomplice in the crime.
"Taylor, said the sheriff, has told
SO many and such conflicting
stories that it is difficult to be-
lieve any of them. TAYLOR is said
to have personally admitted that
he killed the RosensteinS, but in
sisted that Brown was with him.
Mr.. II. Dorsey EtchiSon. coun
sci for Brown, has promised that
he would have a statement to
make to the press to-day, (Fri-
day
Sentiment in this community is
somewhat divided as to the guilt
of Brown and some say that the
Governor has good reasons to ex-
tend a pardon i'll his ease.
Others think that the jury in
both eases rendered n Just verdict
in accordance with the evidence.
AS one gentleman stated to the
writer: sit certainly makes very
little actual difference, as far as
the verdict of the jury is concern
ed, whether Brown actually com
mitted the murder or not, He
certainly was there at the
time, and all things show him to
have conspired with Taylor to
commit the deed and divide the
money. If Taylor did the act,
Brown certainly was willing to do
it i Gfhances had favored him, and
III 50 being present and not seek
ing to hinder Taylor from doing
the bloody deed, he is in the eyes
Of God, man and law just as
guilty as the actual murderer.
No one should draw such coarse
distinctions between the doing of
the deed and the watching and
helping to have it done. II
Brown was present when Rosen-
stein and his wife were killed by
Taylor, then he deserves his fate
as much as his companion. Gov.
ernor Lowndes will certainly not
interfere in the matter"

A PHILIPPINE WANTS TO BE-

A Tangle Results, but Finally the
Applicant Is Forced to Forswear
Allegiance to Spain and

Florentine Rubio, a Filipino. wants to
become a citizen of this Government. This
is a laudable intention on the part Of
Florentine, but it caused considerable
trouble in Judge Daingerfield's court
yesterday. When .Florentine presented
himself and asked permission to take out
his first papers, it became necessary, in
asmuch as he is an alien, that he for
swear allegiance to the flag under which
he claimed protection. This caused the
difficulty. He was a Filipino and for
years had dwelt under Spanish rule.
SPANS rule in the Philippines has ceased
to be, and instead there remains the frag-
ments of the shattered philippine re-
public" of which one Aguinaldo is the
President The Philippines are practical
ly part of the United States at the pres
ent time. so the legal tangle that re-
suited was eXcusable. Finally Judge
Dangerfield decided to make Florentine
forswear allegiance to Spain and the So
called Philippine Republic" after which
he allowed him to take out his first pa
pers. The Judges of the Superior Court
will now look into the matter, and If in
the future a Filipino appears for first
papers he will be dealt with without
DELAY.

Three Fish Killers Discovered Using

The State Fish Commissioners and sports

capture of three fellows who were caught

State officers have wondered why Austin
Creek in Sonoma County was so barren

With view of learning something of the
cause Secretary ]. P. Babcock and Deputy
A. W. Wilson made. a trip to the, creek
on Sunday, and while they, worked hard
and used all of the arts known to the
trout fishers to get fish their efforts
were without result. AT last, tired and
discouraged they rested on high bank
at the junction of East and West Austin
creeks.

During the past few days a number of
raids have been made on the fan-tan
games, the opium dens and the dealers in
lottery tickets, and these have set all
Chinatown agog. There was time when
tickets could be purchased regularly in
certain stands. The police succeeded in
breaking up this practice, and then the
wary Celestials resorted to the practice
of employing agents, who would mark
tickets in almost any out of the way cor
ner. The squad under Lieutenant Price
has captured so many at this Illicit prac-
tice of late that it has been practically
abandoned and the dealers have found
new game.
Last night officer Stephen Bonner of the
squad noticed a Chinaman handing an
envelope to a white man in a manner
which excited his suspicion. He captured
the white man, and on examining the en-
velope found it contained a lottery ticket
already marked. The time of the draw
ing, however, was not marked on the
ticket, but on the envelope. He did not
take the trouble to arrest his man. as
there was no evidence against him. 1t
is no crime to have a lottery ticket in
your possession unless it is for a drawing
to come off at some future date, which
date must be marked on the ticket. The
ticket found had no date upon it. The
date was on the envelope. but there was
no proof that the envelope and ticket be-
longed together. The envelope simply
