AcREMAN FORMERLY
LIVED On MOBILE

The Mobile Register of Wednesday
contained the following relative to the
Acreman family:
The iterant preacher named Acker-
man who. with his family, consisting
Ct his wife and seven children, were
murdered IN Santa Rosa county, Fla,
ten miles north Of Milton, on Sunday
night. was known in Mobile. Four
yeans ago he lived in this city near
the corner Of Selma and Marine
streets. While here he was In Gesper-
ate circumstances, his family being in
absolute want. Their plight was dis
covered by an organization which
does a great deal Of practical charity
and their immediate wants were re-
lieved. Later, members of the Bap-
fist church, Of which denomination
Mr.. Acreman was a member, helped
them most substantially. and Mr.. Acre
man sought new fields for his labors.
He was scarcely heard of here after,
wards until The Register told yesteT-
dav morning in a special from Pensa-
cola how he, his wife and children,
had been murdered and an attempt
made to conceal the crime by burning
che dwelling In which the murder was
committed, leaving their remains to
the action of the flames. Mr.. Acreman
was known here as a most peaceful
and harmless man who had great faith
in his religion. He was piOUs to de-
gree. regarded by many as eccentric
and was not known TO have an enemy.
Those who remember Mr.. Acreman
and his family here are shocked at the
tragedy and express the hope that the
large reward raised by citizens Of
Milton. and that offered by Governor
Broward, may lead to the apprehen-
sion of the murdereus.

JURY STILL OUT
IN ACREMAN
CASE
Belief Gaining Ground that Fam
lily Was Not Murdered.
Formerly of Mobile.

Milton, May 16.-No verdict has yet
been reached by the coroner's jury
which is investigating the deaths OF
W. G. Acreman, his wife and seven
children, who were found with their
skulls crushed and bodies dfsmem-
bered by fire in the charred ruins of
their home at Allentown, ten miles
north of here. Monday morning.
1t is said upon good authority, that
but little evidence has been adduced
AZ the inquest to justify the theory
that the family was murdered before
the building was set on fire, and this
idea is gaining ground with the public
IN general.
The coroneT's jury adjourned to
meet Monday morning.

Columbia, S. c., May 16.-The dem
ocratic state convention met here to-
day and organized by the election of
J. William Thurmond as permanent
chairman. Other than adopting a
platform and making rules for the
coming primary election the cOnven-
ton had nothing but routine work.
The platform adopted inveighs
against the trusts and favors tariff re-
vision. There was no effort to put
the convention on record as to the
state dispensary, it apparently being
the desire TO let the question be fought
out IN each county.
The fearless, able and consistent
course of senior Senator B. r. Tillman
in the United States senate" was com
mended and an expression of conf
dence extended to him. The admins

mended.

Washington, May 16.-Recent eff
foras of the president and the demo
cratic senatorial leaders to reach an
agreement on the railroad rate bill, re-
Csived further notice in the senate to-
day from Senators Bailey and Tillman
Both we're inspired by a Washington
dispatch in the Chicago Tribune
which Senator Bailey denounced as a
"lie" and the author and inspirer as q
liar" It was charged in the article
that Senator Bailey was responsible
for the failure Of the agreement be
tweep the prssidnt and Snator Till
man. Former Senator Chandler was
given as authority for the statement
that TiIlman had been suspicious o.
Bailey. who was really opposed to leg
islation.
Senator Bailey declared the dispatch
had been sent by a correspondent who
IS very close to the White House and
is presumed 70 speak With some au.
AlOEllA OF AIduHdCLlDuc NueEE. ne QlQ
rot charge that the statement was
made with authority, but denounced
its publication and the author and in
6pirer in extreme terms. Mr.. Bailey's
statement was followed by absolute
silence and was even more impressive
On that account
Senator Tillman followed as person
q, privilege, as the article in question
stated that he became suspicious of
Senator Bailey. He said: This cor
:espOnOIence is undoubtedly MUCK
rake. Into whose house the handle
goes or what hand holds il, I won't at
tempt 70 say" He said he counted
eight distinct falsehoods in the ar
ticle. which he proceeded to deny
Then he had read former Senator
Chambers letter in response to Sena-
Tor Lodges denial for the president of
Chandlerls former statement.
Mr. Tillman then took the floor to
deny an article in the New York Tri-
bune. similar 10 that in the Chicago
Tribune. He said il seemed that the
conclusive SANDER had proceeded from
Inc White House. Il hope for the
honor Of the country that it does not
proceed from the president himself?'
