MURDERER TELLS OF HIS SIN.
The visit of the Rev Anthony Binga,
colorcd, to Manchester Jail Saturday to
see Ernest Davis. the condemned muir
derer, afforded him an opportunity yes
terday to give warning to the young
members Of his congregation concerning
the evil association into which men with
religious inclinatons are often enticed.
The Rev. Bnga occupied his pulpit in the
First Baptist church. He told of his visit
to the condemned man. and the other all
legged murderers in the Jail. Davis told
the pastor how he had lived a good life
and attended church during the life Of his
mother. He confessed that he wandered
away from the right path and that evil
associations caused his downfall. The
pastor urged the young members of
the congregation to pick their associa-
ton. He lamented the fact that a for
mer member of his congregation had
gone astray.
He said that two of the alleged MUIR
derers were baptized in his church.
The Rev. Binga also referred to the
Chesterfield suicide and warned the
members of his congregation against
the use of slandcrous words. He said
that the young lady probably killed her
self prefering to lie In a cold grave
rather than hear things against her char
acter. He also told of his talks with the
alleged murderers in the Manchester
Jail.
