cording to the report issued by former

county cast 1897 votes for Davis for

state amvcnfion. fixed the basis OF
representation Of each county at one
vote for every 175 votes cast fer Coy.

would cntftlc Woodruff county to sey-

cast for Davis at the last election in
Woodruff county was l797, instead Of

AGAIN PUT THROUGH
SWEATING PROCESS
Elmer Collins Laughs and Jokes
About Detective RatIedge Losing
His POckeibOOk
Special to the evening Journal.

Laurel, May ?, 1.2O p. m.-The half
witted negro, William Waite, who has
been charged with the brutal killing Of
Mrs. Collins. and whose friends prove an
alibi on Wednesday, was taken to the
scene of the murder this morning at A
O'clock
State Detective Francis and the Pin
kerton detective, Dimaio, with former
Constable William Wilson, who was dep
utized as a sheriff, left the Georgetown
Jail. They did not come through Laurel,
but took roundabout way through
Bethel and Portsville. The Evening
Journal correspondent who had been not
flied last night, was soon on the track.
Reaching the Collins home, the negro
Waite was bound with both hands lock-
ed, sitting beside Wilson.
The two detectives had Collins in the
Kitchen where Mrs. Collins for six years
had cooked and joined in eating the
morning meal.
On hearing voices, Detective Dimaio
rushed out yelling to Wilson to take his
prisoner in the house that he did not
want any more fake stories.
Soon after Collins came out. When ac-
cOsted by the Evening Journal reporter,
he said enough lies had been told After
assuring him that the Evening journal
was interested only in the punishment Of
the party who so cruelty murdered his
wife, he Gained down and said he was
sick and tired Of strangers, that they
were no friends Of his. After again ex-
planning the surroundings and how his
wife was killed, he laughed and jolked
about Detective Ratledge losing his
money.
At 10 o'clock the officers again took the
negro to the woods to scratch for the
money he is accused of burying. Up to 1
O'Clock they had not found it.
While the negro was again going
through the sweating process Constable
Wilson was kept busy carrying water.
Whether the Pinkertons have adopted
the General Smith Philippine water cure
or not is not known, but it is known that
the negro survived and that he frequent
ly pleaded his innocence and that he
eventually came out alive.
Detective Dimaio is undoubtedly
grand master of the mobiles in the sweat
ing process. Sheriff Hart, who has been
censured for permitting the Pinkerton to
have access to the crazy negro explained
to the Evening Journal correspondent
that he was simply obeying instructions
from Attorney General Ward.
