BREWER DECLINES
 THE NOMINATION For Congress from the Fifth Alabama District HIS ODD WAY OF STATING II
  Makes No Reference to the Second Pri- mary Election in Which Thomp- son Won-Requests That
 His Namebe Not Printed
HIS ODD WAY OF STATING II

Montgomery, November L-(SpeciaL)- Col. Willis Brewer, late candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Fifth District, has written letter to the Secretary of State, declining to accept the nomination of a Goodwater convention, and requesting that his name be not placed up- on the official ballot to be voted next Tues day.
 The letter was written at the solicitation of Colonel Brewers friends, and it leaves cleap fight in the district, as between Col. Charles w.. Thompson, Democrat, and A. J. Mlstead, Republican The attorney general has also written an opinion to the effect that Brewers name can legally be left off the ticket.
 Colonel Brewers letter was quoted in full as folows:
 "Haynesvile Ala, Oct. 31, 1900. "Hon. R. P. McDavid, Secretary of State,
 Montgomery, Ala:
 "Sr-I decline the nomination for Con Gress from the Fifth District and request that my name be not printed on the ticket. Respectfully, w. BREWER
 Colonel Thompson, the Democratic nom inee, was in Montgomery today, and he Is quite enthusiastic over his chances for | election He expects a majority in the dis trict of upwards of 10,000 votes. Colonel I Thompson has been in Lowndes County l for the past two days looking after Demo- 1 cratic interests there and he returns fully ] convinced that the Democracy of that County will give him handsome majority vote.
 Chairman Robert J. Lowe of the State Committee was in the city today, and said that since the withdrawal of Brewer he believed that election of Thompson was made certain. Chairman Lowe will write to the several county chairmen directing that tickets be printed with the name of Colonel Brewer left off. In speaking of the fight in the Fifth to- day, a prominent Democrat from Fillmore said:
 'Milstead is a perfect baby in politics. He is permitting a little handful of dis gruntled Democrats in the district to run his campaign, and they simply laugh ing in their sleeves at the manner in which they pulling the scales over his eyes Many of the leading Republicans dis satisfied with the course of their candidate, and they are not supporting him. MT. Mill stead will be overwhelmingly defeated, and his defeat will be made the greater because of his childishnss in politics"

The Christian

The most succes ssful play entour today is Hall Gaines great drama, 'The Chris tian," adapted from his famous novel of the same name. This splendid attraction, in all of it's metropolitan completeness, will be seen here on next Monday and Tuesday and Tuesday matinee, with Julia Stuart as Glory Quayle. Lionel Adams as John Storm and a company of fifty people. The original scenery and stage effects exactly as in New York, where the play had a run of l75 nights, will be seen here
 Mir. Hall Caine owes his position entirely to his own industry, persistence and con- scientious workma anship He began literary lfo as a journalist, but he never intended scared from the first. He had a form, which of course, with such a one, means to prune the exuberance of his early style. He wrote essays, he lectured, he exercised of all people who taught him tenderly, not to use unfamiliar words under the i'm pression they were fine. MT. Caine sooD acquired the very vehicle which he wanted, a marvellous, direct, clear, and eff the ad- jectives may be allowed to pass) richly simple English. If originality means eccen- tricity, MT. Catne has an originality of style, but the one in which he reveals himself suits him like a gIove-is style cost Fhomme-and nowadays, having taken to heart Rossetti's warning, he is never affected and precocious.

fession could not be used. He is "a. lawyer. He knows that dead men tell no tales"
 The Confession Denied
 Frederick B. House, attorney for Pat rick and Jones, made a later statement concerning the alleged confession of Jones. He says he does not believe Jones ever confessed and bases his belief on what he says Jones told him Wednesday. After calling attention to the fact that millions are at stake in the case, MT. Osborne said:
 when I visited Jones in the prison yes- terday morning he told me that he had been subjected to the third degree the night previous. He said that he had been told that I wanted to see him.
 " I knew it was contrary to the regula- tions for you to be admitted at that hour,' said Jones, but I went with the keeper without suspicion. l was taken past the council room into what I suppose is the warden's office. There I found Mir. Os- borne, Captain McClusky, Captain Baker, MT. Byrne, MT Miller and two other men whom I did not know
 "Jones said that he was asked to confess that the checks were forged, that the will was forged and that the old man was mur- dered. Jones said to me: MT House, told them just what have always said to you. l had only one statement to make, and that was the one 1 made to Captain Mc- Cluskey. I said there was nothing else
 
 told them to get the statement taken down by Captain MeClusky. A statement was produced, which was said to be the one made to Captain McClusky. I read it and afterward was asked to sign it. I refused to do so, because many things had been added to it since I made 1t. I was asked to correct it and sign it. This I refused to do 1 told them that I was in no condition to protect my own interests. Then some one, either Captain McCluskey or Baker, said that I had better tell and save my self. I was told that Patrick had confessed. I replied that could not help what Patrick had done. If he made truthful confession, I said, it can do harm.
 Then three different statements were prepared by MT. Osborne. Each was read to me and was asked to sign one of them. I declined. I then said that I would talk no more I told MT. Osborne that he had no right to treat me so, and that would say nothing more, save in your presence, MT. House. "
 Dr. Walter Curry, who attended MT. Rice during the illness which preceded his death and who was called in afterward, said to- night that when he was called in on the day of Mr. Rice's death he saw no towel or sponge near the body, nor did he detect any odor of any chloroform or other anesthet- ics in the room. He cannot recall anything about the appearance or feeling of the body that would indicate that death was caused by poison or any anesthet.cs.

SENSATIONAL TURN
 IN GEL LEBRAlED CASE
[continued From First Page.J


 
 concluded the statement and asked many questions, all of which Jones answered and declared he answered truthfully.
 MT. Osborne was asked if he thought there would be any arrests in the case and if any of those interested in the case would be arrested. He said he was not prepared to answer that
 MT. Miller of the firm of Hornblower & Byrne was at the prison ward in Bellevue Hospital with Jones for an hour. Jones, he said, was unueryed and broken. He lay on his cot and sobbed and cried like child. Mir. Miller said Jones told him that Patrick told him to kill himself, as he had a better opportunity to do so than he (Pat- rick) as there was another man in the cell with Patrick. Miller said that Jones fur ther quoted Patrick as saying: What can ] do? 1 have two children, and what will become of them in case l am tried and this found out?"
 MT. Osborne was asked what part of the Rice estate Jones had expected to get. He said Jones told him Patrick assured him of being well cared for, but had promised nothing more definite. The estate, MT. Osborne says, Is estimated at from three to eight millions.
 Jones made known to the district attor- ney that he wanted to make a statement. Word was sent to Patrick telling him the district attorney would be glad to hear 1TOH nlD1 II ne cared lO Iildke d MT. Patrick replied that he did not care to say anything about the crime, but would like to see Captain Baker about the es- tate The district attorney said the state did not care to discuss the estate, but rather Rice's death.
 Asked if he thought MT. Rice had been chloroformed, MT. Osborne said Jones had spoken of hearing the old man laugh, and he said it is well known that certain anesthetic produced laughter.
 MT Osborne was also asked that if in the event of Jones' death his confession would be used against Patrick.
 ''Of course not" he replied.
 Some one suggested that Jones' ante mortem statement could be secured and used.
 An ante-mortem statement" said MT Osborne, made by third party is of no use It must be made by a party about to die No person knows better than Patrick that in the event of Jones death the con-
