Commissioners Mays Explanation.

Mays version and explanation
of the convict killing elsewhere
noted editorially.
The killing occurred on June
Bird; on the 4th the railroad com
mission was in session; and on
the 9Th. Warden John Henry, J..
G. Kincannon and I, mem bers of
the Board of Control, visited the
farm and investigated the facts
which led up to the killing, which
according to the testimony of
Second Assistant Strong and
the three guards. are substanti-
ally as follows: Two convicts,
Jesse Jordan and Charley Henry.
became involved in a difficulty in
the field on June End before the
killing. Second Assistant Ser
geant Strong. who was in charge
of the convicts, considering that
Jordan was the aggressor, and
believing that he should be pun
ished for such, undertook to pun
ISL him, whereupon copvicts Dan
Crockett, r. M. Hall, Green Case
and Moses Clipper interfered,
surrounding Jordan. declaring
that Strong should hit him only
few ticks and thus prevented
Strong from administering the
proper punishment.
On the morning of June the
3rd, the day of the killing, ac-
cording to the testimony of As
sistant Sergeant Corley, Second
Assistant Sergeant Strong, Free
Guards Aft Stubblefield, Jr., and
Hugh Myers and convict guards
Asa Brown. Bob Brown and
Horace Wallace, (who did the kill
ing) while Second Assistant
Strong was whipping Jesse Jor-
dan for his misconduct in the
field on the day previous, as
above stated Dan Crockett rush
ed up and struck Strong twice
with his fist in the back, where
upon Strong struck Crockett
with the butt end of his strap.
Other guards and convicts then
pulled Crockett away from
Strong, and Crockett and the
other prisoners were marched
outside the yard, where Crockett
armed himself with a club axe.
After Strong had finished whip
ping Jordan, he com handed
Crockett to drop the axe and
come forward to received his
whipping for his offense in at
tempting to prevent the punish
ment of Jordan, and striking
Strong. Crockett advanced to-
wards Strong and Corley with
the axe in striking position,
swearing he would not put it
down. and that he would kill the
first man who came in four feet
of him. While thus advancing
when in about six or eight feet
of Strong and Corley, after re
fusing to drop the axe as com
manded, he was shot and killed
by Wallace. Some of the con
victs interviewed, state that
Crockett did attempt to prevent
the punishment of Jordan, but
did not strike Strong. That he
did have the axe in his hand and
refused TO put it down, and re-
fused to be whipped, but was
not advancing on Strong and
Corley when shot. r. M. Hall.
Green Case and Moses Clipper

ishment of Jesse Jordan in the

above stated. G. NJ. Hickman,

Jackson may prove formidable candidate
before the contest is ended Others who
may be regarded as in the running are for
| mer Attorney General John ?. Poe, former
Gov. Frank Brown, former Representative
Joshua w. Miles, Gen. L. Victor Baugh-
man and Representative J. F. C. Talbot.
Gov. Smith. who for years looked to a
seat in the United States Senate as the
goal of his ambition, long before he was
elected governor, has asked no favors, and
outside his own county it is doubtful if
there has been Legislative candidate
pledged to him.
There is one thing that may be truthful
ly said of Gov. Smith. No democratic gov
ernor for a quarter of a century has more
thoroughly united his party than has he,
and he has played straight politics, recog-
nfZing only democrats of tried and proved
loyalty.
In addition, he has made fewer enemies
than any of his predecessors in office, and
will turn the reinS of government over to
Mr.. Wariield next January with the party
in better shape than ever before on the in
duction of new governor INTO office.
Rayner Will Tour the State.
OF Mr.. Rayner it can be truthfully said
that he too, has a great following in the
city and state, and, while man of decided
convictions, has made few enemies Mr..
Rayner will Saturday next begin a tour of
the state in the interest of his candidacy.
The attorney general and his friends ex-
press every confidenc, of success.
The democrats viii have eighty nine
members of the Legislature on joint ballot.
and a majority in caucus would be for =
five. Mr.. Rayner has twenty votes pledged
to him from the city delegation, three
from Baltimore county and three, it is
said, from Mont gomery county, twenty six
votes in all.
Mr. Rayner's adherents claim that he
will have more than the nineteen other
votes necessary to give him "a majority in
the caucus.
Governor Smiths friends say that he W IL
have majority of the caucus, and will be
nominated on the first ballot. They claim
! that the governor will have behind him the
| influence of Senator German and the other
| big leaders. They point out that the in
| fuence of Senator German within the party
| was never SO potent as at the present
| time, and claim that the governor will prac-
| tically have a WalkOVer for the SenatorShip.

In 1907 according to a provision of the
constitution the voters of Maryland must
decide whether a new constitutional con-

will be in operation in 1905, when a legisla-

event the election machinery will be avail
