Assistant United States Attorney

Thursday afternoon that 1t was all

in his stead; and, further, that / had
asked that Mr. Tillman be not re-

is the meanest and most deceiving OF
notions. Every man owes the world
something. He owes It all the 70
humor and kindness he can muster, so
that the wheels Of life shall revolve
with as little friction as possible. The
burden Of the worlds work is a heavy
one, SO every healthy man owes 1t to
humanity to bear his portion of the
load Respect the burden!" said
Napoleon when the fine ladies were
not going to make away for a man
carrying a pack. The conque-or

Men who have vivid sense of hui
man comradeship do not push rudsiy
aside all possible or actual competi-
tors. They get more out Of life by
being magnanimous than small mon
ey-grubbing souls may ever hope tc
secure. A man comes Into the world
already indebted. He owes for all the
accumulations Of common serviceaole
for the store of science ac-
for the moral code which

6rsathitt County
Fueds.

| CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Oct. B.
Without changing expression and
speaking In the same even voice II
which he had been answering all CUES
tons put to him, d. L. Edwards, on
trial for the murder of Sam Brooks
here year ago today, admitted on the
! witness stand that he had shot. and
as far as he knew, killed at least four
teen men during his life.
Edwards is the most famous pris
oner ever held in the Hamilton county
jail. In December, 1906, he shot and
killed fellow ,employe Of the Cincin.
natl Southern Railroad here. He was
tried shortly afterwards and the jury
disagreed. About a month after that
trial Ed Turner, a ntive of Breathitt
county, KY, killed his wife upon the
side of Lookout Mountain in this city
and escaped, making his home in Ken
lucky. The sheriff of this county
wanting some one to capture Turner
and knowing Edwards to be a native
of the same county, released him from
custody without bail and put him on
the track of the wife murderer
After a chase through West Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and the
mountains of his antive county, Ed
wards ran Taylor to cover in Breathitt
county, and succeeded in arresting
and bringing him back to Chattanooga.
Edwards Immediately gave himself up
again, but was released without bail
by the sheriff upon his promise to
show up when his trial was reached
by the courts.
Edwards obtained a position in Bir-
Ala, where he said he
stayed until notified of his case coming
up here.
Then he came to Chattanooga. His
case was called today, and the state
was almost unable to prove he had

stand in his own behalf. Under cross
by Attorney-General
Whitaker he admitted having killed !
other men and having served FIVE
year term in the Kentucky peniten-
.iary for killing the superintendent of
the Black Raven Coal Company, of
Chicago, after that party had shot him
.hree times. When pressed as to
low many men he had shot he replied
about fourteen, and when he came off
he witness stand laughingly said it
night be twenty-five as far as he re-
rendered.
He could give no names or dates,
however, as to where he had killed
hem other than in the riots accom-
'anying the A. R. u strike in Chi
ago several years ago and in the {
euds in Breathitt county, KY. His
ase went to the jury tonight, and it
