EST AM INNOCENT"

No Foundation for Report That
Cluverius Made Confession Before
Death.
81 am not guilty. am innocent
of the blood of Lillian Madison"
These were the words spoken by
Thomas j. Oluverius to his spiritual
adviser while in the Richmond Jail
awaiting execution for the murder
of his cousin, Lillian Madison. This
was after every effort to secure new
trial had failed and Governor Lee
had granted respite of thirty days.
A few months before he went to
the scaffold, on the morning of JAN
nary 14th, 1887, Cluverius, while
alone with his spiritual adviser, said
again, in reply to question:
'tNo, Doctor, my statement to you
must stand. 1t is true and / will die
byit."
These two statements set at rest
all doubt as to whether or not Gu
verius made confession. They are
furnished to the Times-Dispatch by
Rev. DIR. William L. Hatcher, who
was the spiritual adviser Of the con-
demned man.

is quite large deficit.
The total expenditures of the ses-

against $7S1 100000 last year. The
estimated income for the next year is
$72S, 100000. The deficit for the
fiscal year beginning next July will
be as great as that for the year which
will end on that date.
