Attorney T. S. Collier last night
concerning confession made 10 him
by Andrew l.. Davenport, the negro
murderer who paid the death penalty
On the gnll0ws yesterday morning.
Mr.. Golfers statement and the con.
fession the negro gave Rev. A. o.
Sykes just before he went tn the
gallows make 1t appear that Dnven-
port persisted In lying even after he
knew that no power on earth could
save his life.
In both or his confessions to DR..
Sykes, one Of which was written just
after the curfew rang Thursday night
Davenport admitted that he killed
Thomas and only minated that 9th.
YRS We're concerned in the AFFAIR.
After being told by Mr.. Collier
that every effort to save him had

,lcmned man told his lawyer that,
while he was In the conspiracy to
kill Thomas. he lid not actually do

Davenport spoiled the plot and saved
Jones' life.

Davenport refused to tell Mr.. Col
lier who did the shooting, but init.
! mated that It was negro named
Diggs who was at his. Davenpori's
house, with Wimbush on the night
of the murder. The shooting was
done with double-bnrreled shot gun
belonging TO Wimbush, according to
Davenport.
AS to the various stories told BY
Mittie Sanford Davenport said that
the statement made by the woman
TO Chief OF Police Reynolds after the
trial was substantially correct, al
though she did not mention the fact
that Diggs was at the house on the
night OF the murder.
For several days there have been
rumors to the effect that Davenport
confessed to his attorneys and im-
plicated Wimbush, but no definite
information concerning the confession
has been given to the police.
Police viii Investigate.
Chief Reynolds Is convinced that,
Davenport actually killed Thomas
himself and is inclined to doubt that
Wimbush was in a conspiracy. Now
that Mr.. Collier has given out the,
confession, the authorities will inves-
tigate the matter and it is possible
that some arrests may be made.
After Davenport had been pro-
tnounced dead yesterday morning his
body was turned over to Cook, the
negro undertaken. as the representa-
tives of the dead mans brothers.
The body was inferred ut the Gene

Of all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact, unless early and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.
Being fully aware of this, Lydia
E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave
exhaustive study TO the subject, and in
producing her great remedy for
womans ills = Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound-was careful to
see that it contained the correct combi-
nation of herbs which was sure to con-
troll that fatal disease, woman's kidney
troubles. Lydia E Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing-down pains,
scalding or burning sensations or de-
posits in the urine, unusual thirst,
swelling of hands and feet, swelling
under the eyes or sharp pains in the
back. running through the groin, she
may infer that her kidneys are affected
and should lose no time in combating
the disease with Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, the woman's
remedy for woman's ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.
