Prisoner Not Excited.

Clements did not appear excited Tn the least. He denied being guilty or the grave charge against him, and said ne would prove that he was innocent, saying that he could prove he was at home on the night Edmondsons house and barn burned. Clements said:
 T am 35 years of age and was born and reared near Woodland Mills. nave a wife and seven children, the oldest child being about 10 years old. l am only a renter and have not money enough to employ a lawyer to defend me. On the day before the burning of Edmondson house and barn Edmondson and went to SomerviIle, where we sold some seed cot ton that both of us had an interest ln
 Tt was about dark when we arrived home. I always retire early, but retired earlier than usual on this night because I was very tired. Later on, perhaps apout 2 o'clock, tLat night l was awakened py the roar and light of the flame from Edmondson's house and barn. l was the first one to reach the fire. The buildings were nearly burned down when l got there and l discovered some bodies in the ruins"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-01-31
Related to Edmondson.

He said that number of people arrived a little later Clements says Edmondson was a first cousin of his and that he was very fond of Edmondson because he treated him kindly He said he was share-cropper on Edmundson's farm for four years, and when not engaged in his own crop, Edmondson paid him $1 day to work for him.
 He says that at the time of the killing and the fire he resided in a house which is said to be 165 steps from the Edmond sons He says he heard no noise until being awakened by the roar of the flames soon after the tragedy. Clements said he moved about half mile away, as his wife would not live on the Edmondson place any longer. When arrested he was covering a chicken house at home, he said.
 Sheriff T. R. Shipp read the story from a Huntsville paper to Clements, who de- nied any knowledge of 1t. He denied be- ing caught by Edmondson in the barn with Mrs. Edmondson, and said; 'l had never thought of such thing" He stat ed that Edmondson had been in very bad health for some time.
 Edmondson Jealous.
 Edmondson was jealous of one man in the neighborhood account of his wife and told this man to stay away
 
 Edmondson was jealous of him on ac count of his wife. He also denied that Mrs Clements. his wife, had told any one that he committed the crime
 Clements says for some time since the Edmondson tragedy people of the neigh borhood had been talking about him, and accusing him of the crime, but that he paid no attention to the talk. He said that recently blood was found under a shed at his home, but he did not know how 1t came there. He denied that a bloody pair of overalls had been found at his home. In fact. he denies having any connection with the Edmondson trag- edy in any manner whatever
 Clements is rather small man, weigh ing perhaps 40 pounds: has coal black hair and eyes His eyes are sharp and rather dangerous looking, but in his &C., tion and in his talk he does not appear to be guilty of the grave charges against him.
 He said q can prove my innocence when the time comes, and I want to get out as soon as possible for my wife and seven little children need me at home. All | they have is what I work for and they l need me-"

They crossed the swift tor rent by the narrow bridge at the base of the cliff and stopped below the mouth of the cavern which blew its cool breath out upon the hanging gar den. Later on she saw them climb the stanch ladder and stand in the black opening, apparently enjoying the cool ing wind that came from the damp bowels of the mountain. Her attention was called elsewhere. and that was the last glimpse she had of the two people about whom centered the struggle for untold riches.

 There's just one thing to do, said Chase we've got to explore that cavern to the end. They may have lost their bearings and strayed off into one of the lateral passages.v

 He stopped and passed his hand over his eyes. Then, without a word, he snatched rifle from the hands of one of the patrol and led the way up the ladder. Chase turned to the white faced princess and said between his teeth: g

 { .'It's all right, little woman, take my word for it. If I were you, I'd cry. You'll see things differently through your tears"
 The four men, with their lights, van- ished from sight few moments later. Chase grasped Deppingham's arm and held him back, grayely suggesting that Selim should lead the way.
