WIFE MURDERER
 GIVES SELF UP

Little Rock, Aug. 6-Tillman Whitaker, a middle aged negro who last Saturday evening mur- dered his wife by cutting her throat with knife, walked into the county jail late yesterday afternoon and surrendered to Jailer Walter Gardner. The negro was armed with a very long knife, the one with which he killed his wife. He said he knew be would not benefit himself any by breaking into jail, but did not care what they did with him. Whitaker stated he went to Fort Smith after his crime and then beat his way back to Little Rock.
 There was blood on the knife blade and the handle. The negro said there was blood all along the blade but he had erased the other cutting tobacco. Whitaker also had a bottle partially filled with a watery liquid and labeled carbollc acid. He said this was purchased in Conway, but as the part he had taken did not kill him, he decided to give up the suicide idea and surrender.
 Since the crime was committed the father of the murdered woman has patroled the swamp country down the river with a rifle, look ing for Whitaker there and swear ing to kill him on sight.

PEOPLE ARE INCENSED
 OVER DILL VERDICT

Little Rock, Aug. 6.-Little is talked on the streets here but the unpopularity of the decision of the jury in the Dill case. The jury is being censured all about for the acquittal of Dill, even though eight of the jurors are men of prominence about the county. So intense has been the feeling that a number of personal encounters have been narrowly averted.
