Shot Him Behind an Ivy Bush for a
Wild Turkey.

Toano, Va, Jan. 30.-Alpbus Cham
berlin, a colored man twenty one years
old, was found dead in the woods about
six miles from Toano last Friday with
two gun shot wounds in his head. and
his gun lying on the ground by his right
side. There was no cartridge in the
gun. This led TO suspicion, and q coro-
ner 6 jury was summoned, and an in
quest held, which lasted two days.
The evidence given before the jury
on Saturday pointed TO the mans hav-
ing accidentally shot himself.
CALVIN Davis, a young white boy, and
of a prominent family, was the princi-
pal witness. He testified SatuI day that
he was in the woods Friday, turkey.
hunting and heard the report of gun
and heard some one hollow: 'Oh,
Lordy." He went in the direction of
the sound. and fonnd the Negro. Cham
berlin, lying on the groupo. He then
went TO the mans house and told his
father that Alphus had killed himself
The father ana three white men were
piloted by young Davis TO where the
dead man was lying, Davis stating that
he was about two or three hundred yards
of the man when he heard the gun.
The body was removed TO the tather's
house Friday. The investigation was
continued yesterday, when several wit
nesSes testified before the jury, and Dr.
III. V. Stevenson, of Toano, was sum
moned and made an examination of he
wounds.
The doctor e stifed that the:e were
three wounds. one in the right temple,
a scalp wound, one on the left side, pene
trating the brain, and the third in the
neck just above the clavIcal made by
bullets or buckshor, shot from a pistol
IN gun sessIei sreC IfonA the man.
This evidence killed the theory of ac-
cidental suicide. The jury was then
taken TO the scene of the accident, the
witnesses going with them. Gun-wads
and an empty No 10 cartridge were
found about twenty five yards from
where the body was found.
Young Davis who was hunting in the
same woods and claimed to have found
the body, was asked if he did not ba se
No. 10 gun with h I'm Friday. He said
he did, but shot No IL cartridges in it.
and that he did not have any No. 10
shells. The evidence at this stage
pointed to Davis as the guilty party
The jury returned to the house and
young Davis was again sworn. He ties.
tift d that he was out in the woods Fri
day turkey hunting. and was tracking a
turkey In the sno w, when he saw some
ivy bush' S shaking, and thinking it a
turkey, fired. He then went TO get the
turkey and found he had killed a man.
He said he was so scared he was afraid
TO tell che truth.
The jury rendered verdict of acci-
dental killing. Young Davis is about
fourteen years of age. He showed
no sign of nervousness or grief until the
time of his confession, when he broke
down and wept.
He has the ss mpathy of the entire
community.

DepoSed Rector Makes Statement in

Philadelphia, Feb. l. Announcing

instatement to the priesthood of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, Rev. DR..

complete statement of the real facts
in the case, at the same time Offering
full forgiveness TO Right Rev. Ethel

tions under this offense was that DR..
irvine had circulated false reports re-
garding Mrs. Emma d. Elliott, but the
specification was nolle pressed, ana
DR.. Irvine claims he was deposed be-
cause he had offended Mrs. Elliott and
had not taken the blame of her eX-
communication on his own shoulders.
DR.. Irvine devotes considerable
space to the famous Upjohn letter
which resulted in his attempt to pre-
sent Bishop Talbot
Concerning the civil suit recently
entered against Bishop Talbot, DR..
Irvine says:
Bishop Talbot has twice evaded
the service OF a summons in this city.
If he were not guilty he never would
have run away, but would have court
ed an investigation to the finish. DR..
Irvine's only object has been to get
vindication.
Never have there been any more
sincere and heroic efforts made on the
part of any nan to show the church
and the world that he has been falsely
accused and unjustly treated than by
the writer of this article" says DR..
Irvine.
Never has there been more delibeT-
ate lying, improper influence, intrigue,
as well as the vile use of money and
power, than have been called upon TO
shield wrongdoing and to hide the
light from the public.

RUSSIANS FAIL TO
BREAK JAPS' LEFT
Forced to Retire From Sandepas
After Losing 1045 Men.
LOSSES WERE VERY HEAVY

st. Petersburg, Jan. 30.-Instead of
confirmation of Saturday nights re-
port that General Kuropatkin had
broken through the Japanese left,
there came Lieutenant General SAX
haroff's official admission that tho
Russians had been compelled to retire
from Sandepas on account of their in
ability to carry a redoubt. 1t is also
significant that dispatches from Rus
sian correspondents at the front have
again suddenly ceased, which is re-
garded as an indication of the failure
Of the operation and strengthens the
first impression that it was a demon
stration undertaken to distract The
people at home from the present situa-
ton. In the fighting at Sandepas the
Russians lost 45 officers and 1000 men,
A telegram from Huan mountain
states that General Mistchenko has
been wounded in the leg.
Lieutenant General Sakharoff's re-
port is as follows:
"On January 26 the enemy began TO
concentrate in considerable force near
Sandepas, intending to take the often
sive. On January 81 our column on the
extreme left took the offensive against
the villages of Sumapu and PaGtsia,
south of Sandepas, which were occu-
pied by the enemy. During the whole
OF January q an obstinate fight was
going on there, and after midnight We
took Sumapu.
on January 26 another column sd
vancing upon Sandepas occupied in the
evening a greater part of that fortified
village; but coming upon strong re
doubt with triple row OF artificial
obstacles, which has been scarcely
damaged bby our fire, which was AIMED
with field artillery and quick firers
and seeing the impossibility OF carry
ing the redoubt without a preliminary
bombardment our troops left Sande-
pas, which had been set on fire, fy be-
ing impossible to remain there with
out risking defeat
"On January q and 2S Sandepas and
its redoubt were heavily bombarded.
while our extreme column engaged
near Samapu and Paotsia. Details
have not been received.
ION January 26-27 our cavalry, op-
Grating six miles south of Sandepas.
attacked and defeated a japanese
company and took 100 prisoners.
Altogether the Japanese must have
suffered considerable loss"

Mukden, Feb. There is another
lull in the fighting, but it is impossi-
BILE to tell how long it will last The
Russian losses in the last few DAYS
were about 10000. Many of the bodies
of the killed have not yet been gath
cred. Lieutenant General Stakelbergs
corps was the heaviest loser. The
Japanese losses, according TO Chinese
reports, were also heavy. The Rus
