raving mad, Frank Mays, a strapping
laborer, 26 years of age, went sud-

Wrapped in blankets the insane man
was taken to the city Jail, bound hand
and foot.
At the station Mays declared that
he had disrobed to prove that he was
an angel from God. Still manacled,
the man was locked up in a strong
cell, where he squirmed out of the
blanket and began to shout that he
was the devil come to put Billy Sun
day out of business. He varied these
statements by singing hymns.
Before making this spectacular at
tempt to enter the tabernacle. Mays
quietly entered waiting room, where
he disrobed. He was half way to the
pulpit when he was discovered. His
Herculean strength enabled him to
fight his captors for several minutes
before he was overcome and bound.

PERJURES HERSELF

WIFE OF NIGHT RIDER CONFESS.
ES GUILT AND coRRECTS
HER TESTIMONY.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. 2.--Asserting
that she had deliberately perjured her
self for the defense, and conscience
stricken, desired to tell the truth, Mrs.
Wade Morris, wife of one of the self
confessed night riders, asked to be re-
called. Wade Norris swore he was
present when Captain Rankin was
killed. Mrs. Morris, his wife, went on
the stand and impeached her husbands
testimony by swearing that he was at
home the night Captain Rankin was
murdered.
She left the stand pale and tremb-
ling, went into the corridor and sent
for the attorney general.
i nave done a great wrong" she
said. L have told lie. My husband
was not at home that night He was
with the riders. I was forced by my
relatives to testify as I did. I want to
see my husband"
Her brother-in- law tried to get her
to leave the city with him, but the
attorney general ordered him away and
took the trembling woman to her hus-
band. They are people of few words,
these strange residents of the noun
tain districts, and the meeting of the
young husband and wife, separated
since october, was pathetic
For 10 minutes they stood clasped in
each others arms and not word was
spoken. Then the wife said:
Il am 6oing to do the right thing,
Wade"
The husbands only comment was,
"Yes"
and corrected her testimony. saying
that Joe Hogg and Jack Hogg had
told her that her husband would be
hanged by the soldiers unless she
swore he was at home the night of
Rankin's murder.

STROMBOL| IS RESTLESS

en- SiciIians Is Becoming More Ef-

Catholic Bishops Of the World.

Rome, Jan. 2.-The great danger
which the king and queen of Italy are
facing in their noble efforts among the
stricken people of Sicily and the south
was brought home to the people when
word was received here that Queen
Helena had been injured. Fortunate
ly her injuries were not severe, but it
is realized that any moment another
calamity might happen involving the
serious injury or even the death of
their majesties.
Not one among the rescuers has
shown more self sacrifice than King
Victor Emmanuel and the queen, too.
has taxed her health and strength to
the utmost in giving relief and as
sistance to the injured. Anxiety for
the sovereigns is increasing In Rome.
Apart from the great strain which
their naJesties are unquestionably un-
dergoing, there is danger Of earth
quake shocks, which do not seem
to have ceased, from walls that have
not yet been leveled; from great pit
falls in the broken streets and from
disease. The injuries suffered by the
queen resulted from panic among
hospitals at Messina, when the trGlnb.
ling of the earth and the rumbling
noise indicated another movement Of
the earth.

The queen was caught in the rush
Of patients who, panic stricken, were
seeking safety in the open. The PAN

Dispatches received from all the
Lipari islands state that the earth
quake shocks were very heavy there
and that panic ensued. The con-
victs, Of whom a large number are
imprisoned there, attempted an uprfs-
ing, but were suppressed.
The Stromboli volcano showed great
activity. The damage, however, was
not serious and no one was injured,
but the people are camping in the
open air, fearing that further shocks
may come and overthrow their homes
