HIRED TO DO MURDER.
The slayer Of Charles Carmnn says
lie Was Paid to DO the job
for Another.

Binghamton, n y, April 1.-Will-
lam Carter, half-breed indian, who
is under arrest for the murder OF
Charles Carman at Port Crane, five
days ago, made Il confession under
oath yesterday, in which he admits
the crime and alleges that he shot
Carman at the instigation of DR.. G..
j, Tiffany, who, he says, paid him to
kill Carman. In an affidavit Carter
says DR.. Tiffany promised him $2j to
kill Carman, with more twenty
nves" when the murder was commit
ted lie says Tiffany gave him money
TO buy revolver, Continuing, Carter
says:
"Dr. Tiffany told me just how to
shoot Carmm. lie showed me just
the spot on the side Of the head to
shoot to be certain to Kill him.
Last Wednesday night ] went 70
DR., Tifany's barn and staid there un'
Ill s:jj, when | went to the back OF
Carman's barn, where | remained I'M
Til Mr. Carman came out with his
lantern After he had gone inside the
barn, ! went TO the door and waited
until Mr., Carman came out, when i
fired one shot at him, He slung his
lantern at me and then some wood,
] was scared and stood for minute
looking at him, He yelled and then
ran"
The authorities, by comparing his
statement with the known facts and
the statements Of Mr., Carmnn, claim
TO find very many points of corrobor'
alton.
DR., Tiffany, who was arrested as an
accessory before the fact, denies Carr
tcrs allegations in any point, and de-
clarcs that he had no forcknowlcdge
of the shooting Of Carman.

DEATH IN A COAL MINE.
Lives LOST bs an
of Gas In the Nelson VINE
at DAYTON, Tenn.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April Ian
EXPLOSION of gas, generated by coal
Inst occurred in the Nelson mine OF
the Dayton Coal and Iron oo' at
DAYTON, Tenn, yesterday. Fourteen
dead bodies have been recovered, two
miners are fatally injured ana ten
missing. Seyenty-iiye men were III
the mine.
Gas exists in the Nelson mine ana
the men are required to use sa1eIy
lamps. 1t is the rule of the company
for the miners to place their fuses
ready to be lighted for blasts just be-
fore quitting work each day, ana
there are worlmen known as "hre-
men" who go through the mine atter
oil the miners are out and set OIL
these blasts.
The miners quit work at 4:do
o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t taxes
them about forty-fiye minutes to get
ont of the mine. Two "frcmen,' VINO
are supposed to have caused the cN-
plosion, are Mark Hunter and John
Harvey They shot the blasts at
about AIS o'clock, before all the MI
ners could get out Of the mine
is supposed that one of the fuses was
defective and resulted in what is
known as a "blown blast The
flames shot out from the blast ignited
the gas, which in turn ignited the ac-
emulation of dry coal dust in the
mine. The explosion which followed
was terrific The flames shot out OF
the mouth of the mine and the shock
completely wrecked the shed at the
mine entrance. Three men were killed
while standing outside the mine and
two were seriously and one fatally
injured,
This mine has been the scene of
two serious explosions in the past. In
1889 four men were killed and eight
seriously injured by an explosion of
gas. December 20, 1895, an explosion
of mine dust occurred in which 2S
lives were lost This was caused by a
miner carrying an open lamp con
trary to regulations.
In May, 1901, an explosion of sim
liar nature occurred in the Shalliday
mine, operated by the same company
in which 81 lives were lost.
The force of the explosion in the
Nelson mine, yesterday, was terrible
Bodies were literally manglcd ano
torn to pieces.
The company states that there were
but rs men at work in the mine yes
terday. Most of them were out OF
the mine when the explosion oc
Cured.
