On Deathbed Man Confessed the Crime
to His Friend.


Admission, May 2o-(special.)-T mys-
terry which has for ten years surrounded
the killing of Detective Wess Harrison,
whose body was found about ten years
ago In an clubhouse in West Admission,
seems to be cleared up by a statement
said to have been made to parties here
several days ago by E. r. Powell, for
now in Birmingham. Mr.. Powell was in
the city about week ago and is reported
to have told practically the following
story to two gentlemen here:
Pink Evett, who ten years ago con-
Quoted a barroom on Tenth street con-
fessed to Powell on his deathbed that he
killed Harrison. Evett died about six
years ago. Just before he died he called
to his bedside e. H. Powell, his brother
in-law, and stated to him that he did the
killing. Powell has kept the secret, and
not until a few days ago did any one
here know who killed the detective. Ac-
cording to statements made by those to
whom Powell told the story, Evett and
a man named Knight, who died about
two years ago, were walking along the
tracks of the old G. P. Railroad towards
West Admission to see a daughter of
knights. Detective Harrison was walk
ing in front of the two men. For some
cause not learned Evett stepped between
two cars. secured a coupling pin and at
tackled Harrison, killing him. The body
was taken by the two men to an out
house. where 1t was afterwards found.
Mr.. Mike Fox of this city was later ar
rested, charged with the crime, but was
acquitted.
1t is said Poweus conscience has hurt
him for not telling the secret. and that
he intends to make statement in ac-
cordance with the above.

INFANTS ARE SAVED
BY GRACE OF WORLD
Presbyterians Say They Do Not
Believe They Are Damned !
THE CREED Is so AMENDED
Change Is Made to Correct impression
Prevailing That the Presbyterian
Church Believes Some In
fants Are Lost.
THE CREED is so AMENDED

Jackson Miss, May 20.-!The fifth day
of the general assem- bly, was marked by
the largest attendance of the meeting.
Infant salvation was the subject OF
an important report by the overtures
committee. They reported eleven over
lures on infant salvation demanding a
positive statement as to the certainty OF
salvation as to all infants dying In in
fancy and calling for a declartion which
will clear the church of false charge that
it holds that some infants may be lost.
The following substitute to Section
of the report was offered by DR.. Hemphill
and adopted by the assembly:
Tn answer to an overture asking for
the resembling of the action, in whole or
In part of the last general assembly at
Little Rock, concerning chapter 10, Sec
ton of the confession of faith the as
| sembly does hereby rescind the fifth rea-
to amend confession"
Infants Are Not Damned.
The reason of the resembling being as
| follows:
Because while we have we'll ground
ed hope, founded on scripture that all
infants dying In infancy are saved. yet
the confession of faith goes as far as
scriptures to justify a positive statement
upon this point"
The second section of the report which
was unanimously adopted reads:
'Ths assembly is fully persuaded that
the language employed In section three
of our confession of faith towards in
fants dying In infancy, does not teach
that there are any infants dying in in
fancy who are damned, but this section
only is intended to illustrate that those
who died in infancy are saved through
the ministry OF the world. furthermore,
we are persuaded that the holy scrip
lures, when fairly interpreted, amply
warrant us in believing that all infants
who die In infancy are included in the
election of grace and are regenerated
and saved by Christ through the spirit"
Want Famous Hymn Changed.
An overture was filed with the commit
tee on overtures from the Bonneville,
Miss, Presbytery demanding that the
hymn beginning There Is a Fountain
Filled with Blood" be eliminated from
the Presbyterian hymn booker else the
lines reading land sinners plunged be-
meath that flood. lose all their guilty
STAIN" be changed.
The overtures sets forth that this SEN
tence Is an exaggeration of truth In repre-
! sentfng that the blood of Christ ever
| flowed in such quantities in which one
! could be immersed
The committee recommended the grant
ing of the overture of the synods and
Irn hui sd -
| which asked that that portion of the

the Mississippi river, be transferred to
