A CANDIDATE FOR
 THE PENITENIlARi
Jose Foss Has Demonstrated His Eli gibility-In a Way That Ought to Silence All Opposition.

Jose Foss has been nominated by the city police for the position of con vict in the territorial penitentiary. The officers say he has proved his eligibil- ity beyond a doubt and they have no doubt the next grand and trial juries will cast their votes in favor of his election.
 Jose is bicycle thief At least he says so himself and has given very good proof in substantiation of his claims When first arrested he told a story that vas a little mixed and the officers could not accept it at its face value but he later made a con fession that they believe is simon pure so far as the stealing is concerned.
 Between May and May The ap peared at the brick yard of Jake Cot trell- at Alhambra and sold a Yale bicycle to Frank McEntee for SS. A few days later he appeared again with another wheel which he disposed of to countryman named Antonio Valen- zuela. For this machine he set An tonic back fifteen piunks.
 Yesterday Mir. Cottrell rode the who'll McEntee had brought into town
 
 office. A representative of the Phoe nix Cycle Co. passed along a moment afterward and recognizing it as one of the missing wheels belonging to that establishment. appropriated it and took it to the shop. informing the police where he had got it and asking Marshal Moore to keep his eye open for some one inquiring for the ma chine.
 A few minutes afterward Mir Cot ] trell appeared at the marshal's office and stated that his borrowed wheel i had been taken by someone from the | NJ. & P office. He had no idea who took it but said he had suspected for a day or two that McEntee of whom | he borrowed it had been iobbed into | buying stolen property. Anyhow he wanted to be able to make a proper report to MT. McEntee The marshal | told him it was a stolen wheel and had | been recovered by the owner. and he was laying for the man who had stolen it. Mir Cottrell told him that the Mexican of whom McEntee had bought it was at the brick yard when he left having come to collect pay | ment on the wheel sold to Nalen- zuela.
 Marshal Moore started for the brick yard but at Six Points was overtaker by a telephone message from Officer Troutman saying that he had arrested 1 Jose who just got back to town. Wher first accused by the marshal Jose said the wheel had been left at his | room April 2nd by another Mexican
 Nobody ever called for it and he as-
 sumed that he had a right to sell cit
 But this did not account for the other l wheel. which it is believed also be- longs to the Phoenix Cycle Co anC Jose finally admitted that he had stolen both of them. He pleaded ir l eXtenuatiOn that he was broke anc hungry and had tried to get work ant
 could not and this seemed to be tho easiest way to raise his board bill.

 Several men with picks came to his rescue and after considerable digging he was eXtricated from his painful po- sition. It was at first thought that his leg had been broken but this later proved -ot to ha the case.
 The work of raising the Washington street pipe has been very strenuous, it being considerably heavier than the

NINETY-NINE YEARS IN PENITENTIARY


shooting was heard and bought
something to eat all proved almost
beyond doubt that Coleman was a
participant in the crime, and that it
occurred at the house of the woman.
The belief that George Thomas
was the principal, or cO-principal, in
the crime was strengthened by even
stronger evidence than was brought
out against Essic Coleman The
notch on the pistol found by the
side of the dead boys, proving it's
ownership; the disappearance of
Thomas the day after the killing; his
appearance in Fort Gaines and his
statement to another negro there
that he had killed two men some
days before, and the secret order
note found on his body appearing to
inform him of affairs at home and
advising him to keep going from
lodge to lodge, leaves no room to
doubt that he was at least a partner
in the crime.
The jury was out about three
hours before returning a verdict of
guilty with a recommendation to life
imprisonment.

Convicted, and the Cases of -Four
Other Alleged AccOmpIices Were
Continued.
In Randolph superior court last
week Essic Coleman, one of the ne
groes charged with the murder of
Henry and Herbert Bus near She'll
man one night several months ago
was convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for ninety-nine years.
The cases of the four other ne
groes-two men and two women
held as accessories were continued
until the next Spring term of court
The women are not under indictment
for taking part in the murder, but
as accessories after the fact.
When the trial of Coleman, which
consumed the most of two days was
begun a large number of witnesses
were on hand for the state. Sole

prosecution by Attorney Dick Terry

attended the trial and heard the tes-

ness Ben Jackson, a negro who was
placed in the Jail cell with Coleman.
This negro testified to an alleged
confession Coleman made to him.

brought out in the testimony of
other witnesses, strengthened the be-
