INSTRUCTED TRACK;
GOT INTO TROUBLE
RHODES WANTED TO ACT HERO,
BUT GOT CAUGHT
After PlIins crosstles on Track Lad
Warned Approaching Train Of
ranssr, and Was Punched.

To Special Agent Chas. Pinloscn
of the Atlantic Coast Line belongs the
credit of arrestihg and landing be
hind the baro Of the Marion county
Jail in ocala young negro, Ray
mond Rhodes, who confessed TO OBJ
structing the railroad track near
Zuba, q small station In Marion coun-
", by placing crossties across the
same.
When Rhodes was arrested he at
nrst stoutiy denied his guilt, but nm
ally broke down and confessed all.
He stated, however, that It was not
his intention TO cause q wreck, but
he desired the distinction Of acting
the hero Of the occasion BY waving
the train down and warning the crew
Of the approaching danger, so that It
would appear he had ierked the pas
sengers from the jaws Of death, so
TO speak.
Rhodes plan worked admirably as
far as waving the train, ETC., went,
but his actions created suspicion,
which resulted in bis subsequent ar.
rest
The negro, who Is nothing more
than an overgrown lad, stated that
he had heard the story OF a boy
who once piled ties on a railroad track,
waved the train down. and was the
recipient OF a regular old-time hugging
match, as well as many nlckeIs, dimea,
quarters and halves at the hands
OF the passengers. He thought that
was fine, and decided TO try II him
self, but Il did not work so well
IN HIS case.
Rhodes will no doubt be handed a
package about like six months OF a
year in the gang" for his efforts to
make hero" of himself.

Judge Dana stopped the roll call and

Statistics go to show that not over 8

accounts for the acknowledged superb

small proportion of the country sleep in
night garments; that is to say, more
than the average of the great unwash-

them. The comparatively few houses
containing bath tubs evidence very
clearly the fact that the average per-
son in building doesn't take into con-
sideration or contemplate the use of
water on the body.
Most people, however; in fact, prac-
tically everyone, uses soap in some
form, and yet the hair, which gathers
during the day a million times more

ceives scant treatment as only per

John Sharp hurried to the court
house when he heard Of the verdict,
and was soon closeted with the de-
PENDANTS and their counsel.
Mrs. Sharp was in court when the
jury reported and comforted the two
daughters Of Col. Cooper with her
presence with sympathy. Several
other faithful girl friends were with
them during the ordeal and accom-
panied them to the room Of the de-
PENDANTS, where they awaited the ar

inc too many hopes on the result.
How the Jurors Stood.
TIE Jurors were not inclined to
talk, but one of them said:
"On the first ballot We acquitted
John Sharp and disregarded the con-
spiracy theory. On this same ballot
we stood six for guilty of murder IN
the first degree with mitigating cir
cumstances, five for murder in the
second degree with twenty years the
maximum penalty and one for acqult-
tai. The ballots all day Wednesday
and Thursday showed the same re-
suit. Yesterday the man who voted
for acquittal came over to murder IN
the second degree, but demanded that
only ten years be assessed. The rest
Of US did not deem ten years as any
thing, like adequate, so we disagreed
again. Of course, all this refers to
the Coopers, not Sharp, whom we
had acquitted.
"Early this morning the man who
was holding out for ten years agreed
to twenty years and the six who were
voting for a first degree verdict
agreed to this verdict
