REFUSE BAIL
TO NEGROES
Jackson and George are Held
to Await Developments in
Mermaid Assault
GEORGE MAKES A
SECOND CONFESSION

Samuel Jackson and Ezekiel George,
the negroes under arrest in connec-
ton with the murderous attack made
on Peter Drejko and Woiciech Man
elski, farmers at Mermaid, near
Hockessin, on last Saturday night,
we're arraigned before Magistrate
Lewis this morning and held without
bail for court In the event of the
recovery of their victims bail will be
fixed.
Lucius c. Jones took both men to
the workhouse at 10 o'clock. An
earlier start was to have been made
but State Detective Mccoy, who ap-
pretended both men, wanted to fur
ther question George, who appeared
to have something more he wanted
to tell. This proved true, for the
negro later related to the detective
an entirely different story from that
which he told yesterday.
George, in his second confession
made a clean breast of the assault.
Yesterday he told the detective that
he waited at the bottom of the lane
for Jackson to return and hearing
some one call for help ran to Jack
son and found him fighting with two
white men. George said he pushed
one of the white men aside, but did
not strike either of them, and then
left, followed by Jackson.
Today George admitted to Mccoy
that he hit one of the men with a
stone, tied in handkerchief He
said the stone fell out Of the hand
kerchief and he then struck the man
twice with his fist.
Jackson sticks to the story as told
yesterday that Drejko owed him
money, and that he went there to get
it, the farmer and his helper attack
ing him.
To refute this, Detective Mccoy said
he had evidence to show that Jackson
borrowed twenty-five cents late on
Saturday afternoon to go to another
man, near Drejko's place, whom hs
said owed him money for cutting corn
Mccoy says he can also show tha
Jackson had offered to cut Drejkot
corn for $40, but the latter made hin
a lower offer, which the negro refused

own corn and he can produce evidenc

man near Patrick Hacketts hotel. on
Monroe avenue, a mile from Roches-

Hackett, in a duel with two unindenti-
fed men last night, had killed one OF
