Evidence Against Ramsev.

Detective Heppel went to Suffolk
yesterday. and. with Sheriff Norfeet,
of Nansemond county. searched the
house of Cornelius Ramsey, father of
the negro, Brooks Ramsey, who was
shot last Tuesday morning by Police
man Samuel T.. Salyer. 1t is believed
mat the search was fruitful in finding
other evidence connecting the dead
desperate with unsolved burglaries
that have occurred in this city. A
gentleman's light suit of clothes and a
ladies cloak were+faund. Brooks Ram
sey gave the former to his father and
the latter to his mother last October.
While the clothes have not been identi-
fled as yet, 1T is believed that they
were stolen by the negro.

MR.. WILCOX DECLINES.
Capt. WV Dey Reelected Chair
man Of Democratic Committee.
Another Meeting of Committee Tonight :
Judge Wilcox Giyos Reasons why He
Cannot Servo as Chairman, Thanking
tho Committee for Confidence in Him.

Judge Thomas H. Wilcox has de-
ciined the Craftsmanship Of the City
Democratic Executive Committee, and
Captain w. w. Dey, who recently re-
signed from this position. was last
night unanimously reelected
The Executive Committee meeting
last night. at which Judge Willcox's
declination was received, was held at
the office of Colonel w. w. Sale, MIR.
L. j. Randolph. the secretary, presid-
Ing. Judge Willcox's letter was ad-
dressed to the committee appointed to
notify him of his election, and was
only handed to that committee late
yesterday afternoon. 1t Is as fol-
lows:
"Messrs. w. w. Sale. T. j. Randolph
and w. r. Johnson, COMMITTEES:
Gentlemen: In response to your no.
tihcation of my unanimous election as
chairman Of the Democratic Executive
Committee, l must say that l am una
BILE to accept this honor.
Some weeks ago, at the solicitation
OF those interested in the success of the
Democratic party, l agreed to accept
this position If agreeable TO those who
had announced themselves as candi-
dates for office at the coming primary,
and withdrew my name as a candidate
Tor Commonwealth's Attorney for this
purpose.
Upon reflection, however, I prefer
holding. as do, the position of Police
Commissioner and being thereby so
closely identified with one of the candl-
dates, not to serve as chairman, and I
must therefore decline.
1t would have given me great pleas
ure to aid you in, harmonizing party
differences, and in trying to so conduct
the primary as to give satisfaction to
every one.
Thanking each member for his con-
fidence in me. and assuring them of
my Willingness to aid as a private,
am, Very truly yours,
THOMAS H. WILCOX"
When this was read. Mr.. w. r. John
son. of the First ward, arose. and ex-
pressing regret at Judge Willcox's de-
clination. moved that the committee
recall the resignation of Captain Dey
and re-elect him chairman. Mr.. John
son said that Captain Dey had made
good chairman, and would, II he
could be prevailed upon to accept,
please all the Democrats of the city.
He said the management of primary
had been taken out of the hands Of
the Executive Committee and CAPTAIN
Dey could hold the craftsmanship and
be candidate with propriety. Atten-
ton was called to the fact that Mr..
w. A. Young held the Craftsmanship
six years ago when candidate for
Clerk of the Courts.
Other gentlemen spoke in favor of
Captain Dey's reelection. and the mo-
ton was put by acting Chairman Ran
dolph and unanimously carried.
Messrs. Berry, Knapp and Jaques
were appointed n committee to notify
captain Dey of the committees action,
and meeting of the committee will
be held tonight. at which his decision
will be made known.
1t Is probable that at to-night's meet
ing the committee will order n pri-
mary and name the date for holding
same.

1t is understood that these gentlemen
have for some time been under the
impression that a first-class, thorough
ly clean and up-to-date vaudeville
house will be a paying institution in
Norfolk. Yesterday they looked over
the city for a site for theatre OF this
class, either a vacant lot OF a building
that can be rebuilt and used as a
theatre.
They returned last night to Rich
mond. IT is understood that they have
not decided on anything, but will fur
Their consider several locations that
may perhaps be available. 1t is not
however, proba BILE that the theatre will
be open this fall as the projectors wish
ed to have 1t.
The requirements of the gentlemen
interested call for a site that is cen
trally located. In desirable locality.
and not too high in price.
