of her aims TO supplement by her work
the work of education that is being
done in the schools without. allowing
the library even family to take on the

Just now as the schools are opening

REPRIEVE OF THE
.EPPES MURDERERS

he JdChSOuNlll6 metropolis says.
=. B. Eppes, a prominent and in.
fluential citizen Of Leon county and
the son of the late N. w. Eppes who
was murdered two years ago, is very
indignant towards Gov. BrOward for
his action in reprieving Nelson Lar,
kins and George Caldwell, the two ne
grOeS who were found guilty of the
murder. These two negroes were
sentenced to be hanged yesterday, but
the governor gave them a reprieve for
sixty days.
Mr.. Eppes is out in a card to the
public, in which he severely criticises
Governor BrOwaTd as Mr.. Eppes said
that he came to Jacksonville at the
request of Governor Broward to see il
he (Eppes) could induce the negroes

the murder, Mr.. Eppes' card is as fol.

Declares. He Was Duped.
Tallahassee, Fla, May s, 1906.
To the Public:
take this opportunity to express
the indignation feel at the shameful
manner in which 1 have have been
duped.
will quote from an article which
appeared in various newspapers, as
follows: Caldwell and Larkins are
confined in the Jacksonville Jail for
safe keeping, and this respite was
granted after visit and talk with the
condemned men to-day by son of the
murdered man, who evidently believes
that there is doubt as to their guilt
I desire to safe that l went to
Jacksonville at the request of Gov.
Broward to endeavOr to extract some
information from the criminals as to
whether any other parties were con-
cerned in the murder of my father, as
he thought that the day of execution
being so near at hand they might be
induced to confess. if properly ques.
toned.
l was surprised at the confident and
self-posS essed manner of the Grimm
ais, ana was unable to extract any in
formation from them, as they only re-
peated their usual allegations. which
have already been conclusively proven
to be entirely false.
Why should the governor take this
action in my absence, without waiting
to advise with me as to the result of
my interview, when he himself had
sent me to Jacksonville on this mis-
sion md had assured me that he firm
ly believed them guilty and would not
interfere with the execution of the
sentence without consulting me?
The only reason he assigns is that a
petition was presented to him, re-
Questing such action, signed by only
a few citizens, and when asked if he
believed any of the signers of this
petition were in any wise familiar
with the evidence in the case. he re-
piled, No. and that he believed their
opinions were based solely on the ar
ticle written by Joe Christie, of Jack
EOnville, who is an attorney for the
defense.
l respectfully ask that the signers
OF this petition, if they honestly wish
to see justice done, familiarize them
selves with the evidence now on file
in the governors Office. Yours truly,
