CONFESSION MADE
 BY LIFUS DAVIS
Man Recently Convicted and Sentenced Makes SenSa-
 ton Document Public.
DOES NOT ASK CLEMENCY
duplicates Companions and Predicts They Will Be Shown
 Favor.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Salem.-A remarkable confession has been made public by Lifus Davis. who was recently convicted and sen tenced to the penitentiary for the kill. ing of Charlie Moore
 The confession tells all the facts connected with the mysterious mur- der and gives the names of his al legged accomplices in the deed. In the confession Davis asks for no cIemen- cy and apparently expects none. The murder would probably not have been solved if Davis and others had not attempted to rob a bank and been captured.
 The confession ill part follows:
 T Lifus Davis, make this state ment freely and of my own accord, without any kind of promise to me from anyone and without expecting any remuneration from any source. have entered my plea of guilty for killing Charlie Moore and have taken my sentence to the pen for the ex- treme limit of the law
 During the winter of 1911 and 1912 we, H. M Jones and myself, incur red the displeasure and hatred of one Charles Moore. He had sworn to kill us. He was a dangerous man, as he had killed several men before, and he always went heavily armed. Know ing this, H. NJ. Jones, his son, Ben Jones, and myself often talked and sonspired together to kill Charlie Moore. Moore had nothing against Savers, and Saters had nothing against Moore. Savers was simply d tool in the handstof Jones.
 "On February l., 1912, at Jones house, then in Mfmmoth Spring, we framed up how we. should kill Moore. After discussing the matter, Savers spoke up and volunteered to take a part in the killing. Straws were drawn between myself and H. NJ. Jones as to which one of us should go with Savers to do the killing, and it fell on me. Savers and l got guns, which were furnished us by H. M. Jones, and We proceeded to and did kill Charles Moore as thus planned and framed up by Joaes.
 T was indicted br the grand jury and placed in jail for few days. On the day that l employed an attorney to defend me l was taken to the pen in Little Rock for safe keeping. was brought back from there on the Sunday before circuit court. l had no time to prepare my defense and my attorneys tried in every honorable way they could to get my case con- tinued so that the strong feeling against me could be allayed and could get change of venue for my case, and they also tried to get even four weeks time in which to pre- pare my defense"
 Davis, in his confession, then states that the cases of Savers and Jones had been continued and txat he be- lieves they should have been tried at the same time as he. He predicts in his statement that Savers will never be convicted, and calls upon the peo- pie of Fulton county to witness his prophecy

SNEED KILLS BOYCE
Result of EIepoment With Sneed's
 Wife Some Months Ago.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Amarillo, Texas.fAl z. Boyce, Jr.. was shot and killed here in the princi- pal street of the city within half block of the busines district. Fol lowing the shooting J. Beal Sneed, wearing a beard of several weeks growth and overalls, appeared at the county jail and surrendered He car ried an automatic shotgun, with which the shooting was done, and pair of automatic colts revolyers.
 The few who were near when the shooting occurred say that when their attention was directed by the first re- port a man who appeared to be a farmer stood first on the curbing and then advanced toward the middle of the street firing three shots in all. Boyce was seen to drop to his knees, then to clutch at the cornice of the Polk Street Methodist church and fall directly in frcnt of that edifice, where he expired few moments later.
 Boyce returned but recently to Anna rillo on his first visit since the sensa- tional episode following his elopement with Mrs Beal Sneed last fall and the killing Of his father by Sneed in Fort Worth on January 13 of the present year. So far as could be ascertained the presence of Sneed in the city was known to no one.
 Royce was shot in the right side, 30 buckshot taking effect. The man who did the shoe ting was seen to walk to the street car track in the center of the stre. after the first shot and to fire twic~ after that.
 The widest excitement followed the shooting, hundreds of people crowding ahcut the fallen body of Boyce.
 The tragedy is the result of the elopement from Fort Worth, Novem, Der g. 1911, of Al c. Boyce and Mrs. Sneed. Beal Sneed's wife. Tke couple were arrested in Winnipeg. Man, month later, when Sneed and his wife became reconciled and re. turned to Texas.

BIRTH OF A WING.
Evolution Of the Dragon Fly From its
UaIy Aquatic Pupa.

Evolution Of the Dragon Fly From lee
Ugly Aquatic PuPa.
A wonderful spectacle is presented
by the sudden apparit1on Of an insects
wing at the completion of its meta
morphosis. The transformation OF the
grub into the butterfly, though famil-
lar, is none the less amazing, but the
evolution of the active and gossamer
winged dragon ny from its ugly and
sluggish aquatic pupa is still more i'm
pressive.
Early on a May morning the pupa
energies from its cocoon at the bottom
Of a ditch, swims on its back by pad
ding with its long haired paws to the
stem Of an aquatic plant and climbs up
out Of the water. Then, after a mo-
mentary pause, the skin suddenly
bursts open. and the perfect insect ap-
pears with closely folded wings. which
form.
The older naturalists believed that
the insect "swallowed air." with which
the wings were inflated. In reality the
air is absorbed in the digestive organs,
causing an increased blood pressure.
which mechanically expands the
wings. The presence Of dew is also
necessary; hence the first flight is al
ways made at dawn.
This spectacle Of the birth of a wing
may be observed in dragon flies reared
in an aquarium, the atmosphere Of
which should be moistened with an
atomizer when the pupa rises to the
surface Scientific American.
