coNFEssEs TO STEALING BOOKS
AND SELLING THEM TO OBTAIN
SOMETHING TO EAT.

Many Pensacolians will remember
the party referred to in the following
news item from the New Orleans Plea
yune, he having been formerly en-
ployed in one Of the drug stores in this
city. He had quite a number of
friends in the city who will regret to
learn Of his downward career since
leaving here. The story follows:
James w. Kirksey, druggist, OF
Pensacola, Fla. who has been dere-
lict for some months, because Of do
nestle troubles, which caused his wife
to leave him, is In jail on the charge
OF stealing books, and In confession
to Assistant Chief of Detectives Mou-
ney last evening in police headquar-
tiers, he frankly told why and how he
stole.
The house. 1908 Carondelet. which is
furnished, belongs to Attorney Butler,
and a number of valuable books were
left In the unoccupied place. Lately 1t
was seen that books were missing
told that the house was being sys-
tematically robbed. The bluecoats fig
ured on some tramp going into the
place and yesterday afternoon Police
man Ro1H suddenly made a visit to
the house and found Kirksey in a bed
slurnbertng peacefully. OF course,
Kirksey was awakened. and when
DrCISnl peIOTo AEsASI2lN NQl6I MOu-
ney he said that he had been taking
maps IN the beds In the house almost
every day for a month or SO. He said
he had no home, and one day, while
looking around IN that neighborhood
saw that there was a window of the
house open, and he went into the place
and slept, and from that time on he
has enjoyed himself In the big beds.
Finding that he was hungry and needed
money he began stealing the books,
and sold them to a man on Poydras,
near st. Charles, and in all obtained
about 81 for books worth perhaps
twenty times that money. Kirksey said
that he came here with his wife and
stepdaDghter about a year and half
ago and for twelve months they lived
at 1405 Baronne street But some
months hack his wife, who is about Is
years old, a year his senior, decided 70
leave him, and went away. While he
was with his wife he earned living
as an insurance agent, but after she
departed he cared nothing about him
self and has done no work. Kirksey
said he cares little as to what viii be
done with him, for he has no happi-
ness, although he does not care about
his stepdaughter knowing Of his
plight for he does not want to bring
disgrace on her.
