ADMITS DOUBLE MURDER.
Lewis Tells How He Killed theToli
ver6.

San Diego, CAL, May 26.-Bert G.
Lewis, former private secretary and
chauffeur to G.. II. Toliver, an air.
ship inventor, peered out of the bar
red door o fhis cell in the city pris-
on to-day and admitted to Captain of
Detectives Myers that he alone shot
and killed Mr.. and Mrs Toliver at
their home last night.
Eyes, I killed him." said Lewis,
referring to Toliver. He ruined my
home; i'll had not done it someone
else would have had to-"
Lewis showed desire to aid the
public administrator in the effort to
learn which OF the two had died first
Mrs. Toliver died first said
Lewis. The body of the woman was
found near the telephone where she
had fallen last night after she had
been twice MORALLY wounded by
Lewis. She had sent in a call for the
police, but the desk sergeant at the
station heard only groan, and she
died before she could tell of the
murders.
Developments show that Lewis
planned his work carefully. A pet
dog which followed Toliver and his
wife everywhere was caught by Lewis
early last night. He led the dog a
block or more from hom eand tied
him to post.
Then armed with two pistols, one
an automatic, and dagger, he re-
turned to the Toliver home and wait
ed The police do not believe he
had planned to murder Mrs. Toliver.
AZ Toliver and his wife rode up to
their home in their automobile Lewis
opened IRE. Those who hear the
shots say he fred nineteen times.
Mrs. Toliver was shot in the mouth
and in the head. Both wounds were
mortal, but she staggered into tie
house, reached the telephone ~and
triAd to bring the police.
Toliver, his body riddled with bull
lets. followed his wife into the house,
Lewis close behind. The wounded
man fell in the front room, his arms
outstretched. his eyes looking into
those Of the slayer.
Lewis, according to his own state
ment, wanted to mako sure of his
work. Drawing his Dagger he kneit
I before Toliver and plunged the blade
into the abdomen Of the dying man.

CONVICTION YEARS AGO.
BY J.. NJ. Tate,

Where New Covington now stands
was once wooded country. Chin
Quipins were very abundant there.
The boys would gather them in the
tall and then sit on the ground and
play even or odd. There was a nice
whortle berry also there that ripen-
ed In August. It grew near the
ground on q small bush. The In
dams gathered them and sold them
In the town. They made baskets and
to get one you had to fill it with
anything you had. They also dressed
deer skins.
In 1857 Daniel Smith, north
ern man taught school at the acade-
my. There was large "L' in the
house. He afterwards taught in the
Methodist church. This church and
the Catholic church were the first two
churches built in Covington. The
Episcopal church was built about
1916 and the Presbyterian in 1851.
/ saw in the Farmer of the drown.
ing of three boys at Covington. The
saddest death l ever saw occurred
from drowning about 1851. The
daughter of Mr.. Bossier, who lived
at Abita Springs. She was quite
young-about IA. She was in bath
Ing with her brother st. Ange Bossier.
Her bathing gown became fastened
in large snag and her efforts to get
loose dragged the snag from its po-
sition into deep water. It sank and
took her down with it. Her brother,
IN his efforts to save her, came near
loosing his life. She was the idol
OF the family, being the only daught-
er, and the grief of the family was
heart rending.
The Bogue Falaya was once a
great fishing stream. Bass bit well
here, and SO did trout. Judge Child
ress was fond of bobbing. He had
q perogue and would get a good hand
to paddle for him while he bobbed
The perogues were very easily upset
and ! remember his telling his oars
man not to attempt to change his
chew OF tobacco from one side of
mis- mouth to the other as it would
upset the boat. Above Covington
there We're many logs across the
river and you would have to get out
and pull your boat over them.
The spiritual rappings and writ
ings prevailed here in 1880. The
writer with his friend Spencer Field
Jr. were writing mediums. Many
wonderful things were done and j
cannot account for them. / had a
friend, Chas. Hyde, who lived in
Greensburg, and had been north fo1
his sister. On his return he stopped
ut my mothers house in Covington
and had me get up the spirits. Hyde
had step-father named Stogall
whom he had left well in Greensburg
/ When ! called up the spirits Stogall's
spirit appeared. Said he had beer
dead two weeks that day. / was
laughed at. Hyde said he left him
well. After his return to Greens
burg he wrote me his step-father had
died at the time mentioned. Perhaps
with all the improvements going OF
some day this will be explained
Tables were moved and rappings
heard on the wall or head of the
bed. A large lump like a wen wa.
formed on my wrist and I gave III
writing and the lump disappeared.
