STILL duplicates SMALL.
Johnson, The Murderer, Sticks to Story of
Accomplish.

MT. HOLLY, Feb. 19.-That
George Small was his accomplice in
the murder of Miss Florence w. Al
linson, at Moorestown, was reiterated
Yesterday by Rufus Johnson when he
was given an opportunity to make his
last statement in the presence of his
counsel, Jacob c. Hendrickson; Sher-
if Norcross and farmer Sheriff Bow
er. In answer to questions Johnson
said he fully realized his position and
had no hope of living longer than Fri
day newt, and for this reason he de-
sired to tell the truth. He then ad-
hered TO his former statement TO the
effect that Small was the actual muir
derer of Miss Allinson, and this part
of the crime took place while he was
robbing the house.
Asked why he did not accuse Small
in his first confession and while on
trial, Johnson said that he was given
to understand by Detective Pohler,
in Baltimore, that nothing greater
than second degree murder could be
preferred against him if he made no
further admissions and for this rea-
son he kept quiet about Small until
after the trial. He claims hat he in
tended to tell objective Parpar about
Small's completely in the crime when
referring to the Goodenough robbery,
but Detective Pohler mentioned to
him to keep quiet and he obeyed.
Those who heard Johnson make
this statement give it more credence
than his first accusation against
Small, and they think this negro
should be formally charged with MUIR
der. They cannot believe that John
son has lied again. New evidence
against Small may result in John
sons execution being delayed.
Small yesterday showed signs of
weakening and it may be that he
heard Johnson accuse him. After the
statement had been made Small was
seen lying on his cot, with his face
buried in his hands, as though crying.
He still refuses to talk.

A SLAUGHTER or CROWS.
Labette and Montgomery Counties
Would Destroy a Famous Roost.

Parsons. Kan, Nov. 21.-Tne fame
or the crows roost on Timber Hill may
soon De history of the past. The coun-
" commissioners of Labette county are
considering the plan of giving bounty
OF i've cents on crows heads, and if
such scheme is carried through the
slaughter will be great in the western
part OF the county. deunters and
sportsmen would be attracted in droves
to that place, because the most con-
sentative estimates place the number
OF crows that nightly roost there at a.
figure not less than two or three hun
dred thousand
Crows Roost is a vicinity about thir-
teen miles south and little west of
Parsons, near Dennis. The land there
is very rough and covered with scrub
oak. Timber Hill is located there and
the place is known best by that name.
1t is only a few miles to the MOntgom-
cry county line.
Every evening, about sunset, the sky
around that place is black with the
dense throngs of crows that have come
for miles to roost in the hills. In every
part of Labette and Montgomery coun-
ties these birds have been feeding on
the crops of the farmers and when
night comes, they wish to visit the
others and gossip over the days events.
The noise in the evening that they
make can be heard for miles. When
morning comes. the birds fly away to
their daylight haunts again with more
cawing, also making the sky black
with their numbers.
It is a mystery how the farmers liv-
ing in the vicinity can raise any crops
F'locks of birds have been seen to set
tie on the fields, until the earth was
black, so thick did they cover it. Sew
eral visits like this to a growing field
would be worse than the blights of
grasshOpper days.
The commissioners desire to help the
farmers in getting rid of the nuisancs
They are now comforting with the
county commissioners of Montgomery
county in the matter, because at least
Both counties may offer the bounties
if they find it expedient, and will not
be too great a drain on the county
treasury
