Carter Harrison Claims Pocahontas

CHICAGO, Oct 25.-Mayor Harrison
disclosed to-day that he is of Indian de-
scent. He bases his claim to having
pure American blood in his veins
through having the famous Indian Prin-
cess Pocahoutas as an ancestor.
The occasion for the announcement,
which came as surprise to many
friends, who have been familiar with
the genealogy of the Harrison family,
was a powwow which he had with
two other brayes--Bird in the SKY an"

Motion for a New Trial Made as
Soon as Confessed Slayer Of
Wealthy Jones County Farmer
Is Convicted by the Jury.
Lawyer for Defense Declares His
Client Will Not Go to GalIows
Unless He Is Accompanied by
the Widow of the Victim.

GRAYS, Oct. 25.-Nick Wilburn,
convicted this afternoon Of the muir
der Of his employer, James King, a
wealthy Jones County farmer, whom
he confessed to having shot to death
in the woods near the King home at
Round Oak, was sentenced to hang on
December IL. A motion for a new
trial was set for hearing on Decem-
i.. 5 by Judge J. B. Park, presiding
The Jones Superior Court. If
IS denied, it is probable that an
e. al to the State Supreme Court
v - be made, automatically staying
the execution until the higher court
can pass on the appeal.
Says Wilburn Won't Hang.
Immediately following the jury's
verdict this afternoon, John r. Coop
er. Wilburn's attorney, declared that
his client would not hang this De-
cember, or year hence, and would
never go to the gallows unless Mrs.
Katherine King, the slain mans wife
and Wilburn's alleged accomplice il
the murder, also received a death SEN
tence.
The trial of Mrs. King has been set
to begin Monday morning. She is in
the Jones County Jail. where she has
been held since her arrest soon after
the killing last December. Wilburn,
also a prisoner since December, has
been kept in the Bibb County jail at
Macon because of fear of attempted
mob violence.
Taken to Macon Jail.
Even during his trial, which began
on Thursday and ended to-day, he has
heeH returned to Macon each night
He was carried back to Macon this
afternoon. He will probably be
brought back here next week as a
witness against Mrs. King.
According to Wilburn's confession
he killed King at the instance of Mrs
King, after she and Wilbun had been
intimate for several months. This
Mrs. King denies, declaring that VIII
burn alone was responsible for hel
husbands death, and that he exerted
a controlling influence over her, fore
ing her to do his bidding against her

Huff Case Leading Issue.

Twenty counts are contained in the
charges against Judge Speer filed
with the House by Congressman Clay
ton, chairman of the House judiciary
Committee. He is accused of ap-
pointing his son-in- law, A. H. Hey
ward, to lucrative court assignments;
with favoring friends in awarding
fees; outstanding of properties in
bankruptcy; using court attaches for
private service; abuse of authority of
his office; violation Of the jury law
and other unlawful and improper
acts.
The charges against Judge Speer
are largely the result of the attack
made on him by Colonel William A
Huff, whose estate has been in the
bankruptcy court under Judge Speer's
jurisdiction for more than a decade.
