YOUNG KID CARTER MAKES \
STARTLING CONFESSION IN

Death and Then Boasts
OF His Deed.

BOSTON, April Ill killed Mil
dred Donovan. That was only one OF
many murders that | committed. That
Is ali / have to say What do YOU
think of that"
This confession was uttered from
the dock in the superior court today
by William Il. Jennings, known in
the prize ring as Young Kid Carter,
Just after he had been found guilty
of killing William Mcpherson, a bar
tender, on New Years day and had
been sentenced to Imprisonment for
life.
In boasting of the success which he
had experienced in eyading punish
ment for his deeds, the prisoner said:
1T was as late as 1910 that | beat
cops at their own game in Jackson,
Mich. My pal, Bert Smith, was found
guilty of murder in the second degree,
put / got out of 1t. Leave it to me
| was mixed up in lots of other muir
ders, but they We're in the western
part of the country where they have
no electric chair, and | can safely
say that no man hanged for any Of
the crimes ! committed.
Il place the blame for all my trou-
bles upon the police. When | was a
little kid, they locked me up without
any reason. put me in cell and beat
me They did It many times. If | had
been used all right when | was young,
/ would be all right today"
OF Mrs Mildred Donovan of Re
we're. who met her death New Years
eve, Jennings said he invited her for
a walk and near a cemetery strangled
her. Her body was found the next
day.
Il killed her because | was afraid
she would squeal about some of my
crimes" Jennings declared.
Macpherson was shot by Jennings
during a bar room brawl. This hap
pei ed on New Years eve. MACPHERSON
said just before he died that he knew
OF no reason for the shooting. Jen-
nings himself gave no reason for the
killing, merely saying: u just had
murder in my heart"
The prisoners dec aration in tho
court room was not made until sen
tence had been pronounced. Just az
the judge was about to order court
dismissed, Jennings rose from the
dock and proceeded clamly with his
confession
In the detention room later, Jen-
nings talked to reporters.
IL killed Mildred Donovan" he
said. Il confess this to save innocent
parties She died easy | choked her
for eighteen minutes, pressing both
my thumbs into her mouth. Mildred
died at exactly 1855 o'clock. | know
that because the bells in the town

Pherson. That is MACPHERSON
blood | was Just about ready to get
out of town when | shot him. But
there was murder in my heart"
Jennings said he was resigned to his
fate. Il am willing to take anything
they give me; even the chair. l don't
fear the chair. l have played my cards
in luck until today. Now / played the
last one / never did days work in

Capt. T. r. Peck Gives out Some
Valuable Facts

Not many people realize the
magnitude, importance and posi-
bilities of the Bookkeeping indus.
try. But few understand that it
is profitable industry aud that it
is an ayocation which one may fol-
low exclusively and make com
Portable living to say nothing of
a surplus income. It has been
proven that it is a branch that can
be made to yield a larger profit for
the same amount Of outlay and a
less expenditure of labor and money
than any ordinary branch of agri-
culture. If only a small part of
the attention which many farmers
are giving to other branches were
given to the cultivation of good
strain OF bees they would be sur.
prised at the success they would
achieve and the increase of their
annual income.
The census reports Of 1900 place
the number of keekeepers in the
United States at over 700, 600, the
number of colonies or swarms of
bees at over 100000 and the an
nuAl income from honey aud wax
at over 22,000,000. These figures
give the average annual income
from each hive of bees at S.. so
This estimated average per
hive comes from the count of the
good, bad and Indifferent bee
keepers. III the bad aud indilfer-
ent bee-keepers were left out the
average per swarm would be much
greater. Indeed, it is a profitable
industry when pursued after mod
ern up-to- date methods. We can
safely say that each stand of bees
when looked after intelligehtly,
scientifically, using modern appli-
ances will yield to keepers, at a
low estimate, s., and under favor
able conditions as much as SIS and
SO, and sometimes more.
In looking over the statistics for
the honey industry in Tennessee
and comparing them with other
states, we find that while Tennes-
see occupies third place as to num-
Der of colonies or swarms, it only
occupies fifth place in the income
on honey and wax. Why this low
place. The answer can be quickly
given and the reason understood
when we refer to the old fashioned
way in which the bees are cared
for, the large number of HON q
made boxes and old time gums"
