JACK JOHNSON
NOW CLEARED OF
MURDER charge
Enterprise Marshal Writes That HIs
Supposed Victim, a Negro,
Still Lives.

Jack Johnson, alias Ed. Wood, the
crazy negro in Forrest county jail,
will sleep easy from now on, since his
mind has been freed from the fear of
the gallows for supposed crime to
which he confessed last Thursday.
The supposed victim is alive and at
work and the authorities Of Clarke
county verify the statements of the
negro.
When Johnsons confession ap-
peared in The News the people of En-
terprise were interested. At first, as
the dates coincided with the killing
of a white man named Brown on
Christmas Eve, 1908, the sheriff hoped
that Johnson would turn out to be the
unknown" slayer of Brown.
Clears The Negro.
Jailer J. T. Giles yesterday received
this letter from Marshal w. T. Davis,
of Enterprise, which relieves johnson
from all self-confessed charges:
Dear Sir find that it will not be
necessary for me to come down to
identify Jack Johnson, alias Ed Wood
know Jack Johnson well. His state
ment to you as to having shot a negro
in a crap game near here about two
years ago is correct. The negro whom
he shot is living and getting along al
o. k. and no doubt, is still shooting
craps. Thanking you again for youl
information yesterday over the phone

(By Associated PrSes.i

New York, Nov. 30.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, in a signed article, which
will be published in Hampton's maga-
zine, confesses that he doesn't know
whether or not he reached the North
Pole. Dr.. Cook, who has been in hid
ing for over a year, has informed the
editors of Hampton's, that he will
return to the United States with his
wife and children, December %, in
order to spend Christmas at home.
Cook says that as much as the at.
tainment of the North Pole once
meant for me, the sympathy and con-
fidence of my fellowmen means more.
"If after reading my story you say
Cook is sincere and honest, half
crazed by months Of isolation and
hunger, he believed he had reached
the pole, and is no faker,' then l shall
be. satisfied"
Cook tells the story of his life and
says it would be impossible for any
man to demonstrate beyond question
that he had been to the North Pole.

HAD BRILLIANT PARADE TUES
DAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
BUSINESS STREETS.
SUMPTUOUS BANQUET ENDS FUN
Fine Class Of Pythians Conducted
Through the Heated Horrors of a
Main Street Desert.

Solomon in all his glory, would have
blushed for envy had he been per-
mitted to gaze upon the raiment of the
all-star aggregation, which paraded
the streets yesterday afternoon in the
Dokey celebration. There were
clowns, a remarkably funny donkey,
yellow clad monkey riding a burro
and score of Dokeys arrayed in
royal purple, resplendent red, SHIN
mering green and bewildering blue
satins and silks. All wore oriental
turbans of many hues and carried cute
| little parasols of purple and white.
The parade was a sight never be-
| fore seen on Hattiesburg streets and
kept the crowds along the line of
march in roars of laughter. In the
center of the parade rolled a wagon
carrying a Slated wooden cage, the
chief source of the fun. AS the pro
cession passed along negro boys were
captured by the attendants and thrust
into the cage. Immediately his
satanic majesty, the satrap, assisted
by neophyte, would proceed to rivet
a dog chain about the urchin's neck,
to which was securely fastened a tin
pan. Then the boy was turned loose
or permitted to climb out and escape.
Before the procession had returned to
the business streets, not negro boy
could be seen anywhere near the pa
rade.
Another feature was fallen
brother" Sir Knight Booth of Jack
son, played the role. Painted and
arrayed as a bum, he persisted in
scrapping, until two city patrolmen
not understanding the scheme, nabbed
the visitor and carried him to head
quarters. Chief Williams let the sup
posed drunk go on his own bond &c
resume his pranks at another point
in the parade.
1t was a good natured crowd that
greeted the performers, who were ap
plauded on all sides. The noyitiates
appeared in the procession wearing
masks as a protection from theii
friends along the sidewalks.
