Samuel Jefferson Davis, negro
mine owner and millionaire, OF
Warm Springs, Wyo., was once the
slave OF Jefferson Davis. president Of

INNOCENT MAN FREED
The Confession of Outlaw Gives
Liberty to Convict.
CircumstantiaI Evidence Carried the
Conviction That Was Overthrow
by Mndcrcr's Dying Statement.

I'he dying statement Of Byron Cole
an Oklahoma outlaw, gave complete
eXoneration and freedom Of Al Harp
ster, serving sentence Of life impris-
onment In pcn.tcntiary at Lansing,
Kan. HarpSter was convicted Of the
murder OF Martin Julian. All evil
dence offered by the prosecution was
circumstancial. 1t took the jury 4S
hours TO find n verdict OF guilty.
lIarpstcr re ceived sentence I'm Aprn,
1906. Forty-four days later in Il
battle between deputy sherims and a
band OF outlaws Cole was fatally
wounded, In his dying statement he
confessed to having killed Julian
flarpSter was granted q new trial,
found not guilty and given his free
dom.
The murder OF Martin Julian oc-
Cured on the evening Of June 25,
1905, near Ponca City, Kan. In April
of the following year Harpster was
found guilty OF the crime. jealousy
was given as the motive for the
crime. 1T was alleged that Harp
Stcr was enviOus of Julian on account
OF the attention he received from
Miss Della Lewis. 1t appears that
Julian and Miss Lewis and llarpster
and Miss Nellie Edwards were driv-
ing on the night Of the murder.
The defense showed that the latter
couple returned to their house be-
fore the time of the shooting. Harp
Ster was convicted on the testimony
of farmer who had seen him and
young lady driving with Julian and
another young lady and that Harp
stcr was ahead. The shot that killed
Julian was fired from the front. Eur
thcr HarpSter's shoe fitted in the
track OF the man who shot Julian.
After the shooting Miss Lewis took
Julian to a farmhouse and cared for
him. He made no statement impli-
eating Hrpster.
In a statement made after leaving
the penitentiary Ilarpstcr said that
he had never known Byron Cole, but
that even IL he was an outlaw there
must have been some good in him to
cause a agconfession that would release
an innocent man from life impriSon-
ment. Harpster insists that three
days previous to Coles confession he
had a presentiment Of good ncws and
told the foreman that he soon would
be free. f
The fight in which Cole was fatal
Is wounded occurred in a wheat field
near Ringwood Okla, about Jane | /,
1906. Cole was shot by Deputy
Sheriffs, Campbell and Burwelt in n
battle Wl5bssM Minchesters. In his dy-
ing So ment he confessed to killing
Martin ulian while Julian was driv-
ing with Miss Della Lewis, near Pom
co City. He said the killing followed
an atten pit to hold up the man, in
when Julian resisted. He also con-
fessed to killing man in Colorado
and to taking part in number of
railroad and bank robberies in Den
Nnr and other WoSiOrn cities.

\ MORAL QUESTION.
milwaukee, May Have Public Trysting
Places for Young People.

Milwaukee is facing Il pcrplcXing
problem Of morals, which effects the
lives OF its young girls and boys. The
common council has decided hat
something must be done to save them
from lives of ruination and shame.
"What can be done?" in the question
that has called forth many SuggcS-
tionS.
One man has suggested that the
city should provide public trysting
places where young girls and boys
may meet and have Jolly good time
in a clean atmosphere and under
the supervision of proper chaperonS.
Their they do their courting, If they
are at the courting age. If they are
not old enough to do courting they
could have a merry time without the
danger OF immoral practices.
1t is probable that something along
the line Of public clubs or trysting
places will be provided by the city.
Just what its character Will be, has
not been decided 1t may be that the
schoolhonscs Will be used as meeting
places One prominent schOOlteach-
cr condemns clubs and says children
should be taught to stay at home
