at killed him! I killed him! He was on
the other side of the horse, and the girl
was there too. oh God. I'm sorry" These
were the words of an unidentified man
who was taken to the central station yes
terday morning by Detective Tom Zeigler.
Zeigler was at the corner of First and
Main streets about 10:30 yesterday moril-
ing when he noticed a man acting very
oueerly. This person was waving. his
hands and had wild look. Zeigler spoke
to him and asked him to take walk up
the street. They went toward the police
station.
At the sergeant's desk the man made his
dramatic statement. The police were
mystified. They asked him who it was he
shot.
''Where?"
''Yatesville, Pa. I can't stand it any
longer. She was there. i shot up in the
air and hit him." he declared.
Then the man was asked his name. but
his streak of communicativeness van
ished and he refused to say another word.
When ne was started to the jail door he
made daring break for liberty, but half
a dozen policemen pounced on him and
he was put in the tanks.
If the mans story Is true a good cap
ture has been made. The detectives have
sent messages east to find out where
Yatesville is and-to get other information
about the man. He will be kept In jail
pending the result of the Investigations.

GEORGE B. C0X IS
 AGAIN IN SADDLE
Former Boss" Returns to Head
 of Ohio 6. 0.P.
TAFT IS HIS OLD ENEMY
secretary.Taft Is Supposed to Have Been the Cause of the Downfall of Cox, But May Not Now Pre-
 vail Against Him,

Cincinnati, September 2S.-(Special) George B. Cox, whose forced retire ment from the head of the Cincinnati republican banquet board has been a matter of national congratulation upon more than one oeca sion, Is again pre- siding over the pie counter, and no miracles are wrought in the distribu- ton of the loaves and fishes without his approval The fact that Cox Is again in control of the local machine has been suspected for some time. but it has been made certain by the turn down just given Judge Howard Ferris of the superior court, who, to his sur prise and to the amazement of his friends, will not be renominated Judge Ferris attributes his approaching re- trement to the fact that he nominated Amor Smith for Southern railroad trus- tee without consulting Cox.
 Judge Ferris in speaking of the subject, said that he heard Judge Hosea was to be retired and he called on Cox to learn what there was to the story. He then learned that neither he nor Judge Hosea were considered by Cox to be entitled 10 a second term. Cox told him neither he nor Hosea would be candidates" Up to that time Judge Ferris thought there was no doubt about his renomination. but as soon as Cox expressed himself, he de- cded not to enter the race. This re- markable tribute to the power of the man lately known as the former boss" is regarded AS conclusive evidence that the former portion of the phrase may well be dropped.
 The blow that was supposed to have put Cox out of business on the last occa sion was delivered by Secretary Taft, whose famous speech Just prior to the last municipal election in which he roasted Cox to a finish. Is said to have resulted in the democrats cap turing the city from the republicans This speech, by the way, may yet cut a large figure in the presidential race of MT. Taft.
 With Cox again in the saddle in the county of Hamilton, there Is no telling what may develop. In this connec- tlon. it Is said that Secretary Taft did not have the least idea that he would be a presidential candidate when he be- came so bitter in his arraignment of the Cincinnati boss. At that time, 1t Is said, he expected to become chief justice of the United States supreme court-an ambition that could be fur thered without the assistance of any state politician. however powerful. Many believe that if he could have looked into the future he would have hesitated before aiming blow at the Cincinnati machine that completely an initiated 1t for time. J. R. H.
