ATTY. Biting
Continued on page three)

Within the last three months fed
eral trial juries have acquitted two
men accused of murder in the first
degree, one man accused of adultery
and two or three on opium smuggling
charges, In all save the two murder
trials the assistant district attorney
has conducted the prosecution alone,
| yet in all the evidence of guilt APP
| parently was strong-at least strong
enough to obtain indictments by the
grand jury The defense in the first
murder case rested mainly on a hypno-
tism plea, wherein the murderer stat
ed his victim, through mental control,
compelled him to commit the capital
offense. In the second murder trial
self defense was the basis OF the argyll
ment on which innocence was de-
clared by the jury.
Bitting's occasion for recalling
these episodes to the mind of Judge
S. b. Eole was that Solomon Haul
mea, young Hawaiian accused Of
incest, this morning had entered a
| plea of guilty and his. counsel, Jack
| Atkinson, begged for lenience. Bit
ting urged that the man be given a
penalty commensurate with the
crime, that the dignity of the court
Knight be maintained so the peo-
pie may know that this is court of
Justice and not a clearing house for
crime" he added.
Judge Dole continued the case un-
til tomorrow, when sentence on the
prisoner will be fixed.

A statement has been given out by
Mr.. Watson's physician saying that
his health is such as to make certain

served to make the candidacy of Mr..

he has many good friends in, public

DID STANLEY
DESERT FROM
SOUTHERN ARMY
SUCH QUESTION CONCERNING
NOTED AFRICAN EXPLORER
HAS LONG PUZZLED GRIZZLED
FLORIDA VETERAN, WHO, AT
TALLAHASSEE, TELLS A GOOD
STANLEY YARN.
BY FRANK L. HUEEAkER

Tallahassee, May 29.-Did Henry NJ
Stanley. who was sent by the New
York Herald into the African wilds on
the history making mission of locating
David Livingstone. desert the Confed-
crate army in the dark hours of 1862
This is a question that has long
puzzled the mind of Capt. sam Hope
of Tarpon Springs. Fla. a spry, so
year-old veteran of the Florida Indian
and civil wars. who is lobbying for the
payment of old Indian war claims by
the Florida legislature. Capt. Hope
has reached the conclusion that Stan
iey'S loyalty to the Confederate cause
would not allow the famous journalist
and explorer TO desert, but that Stan
ley was, nevertheless, glad indeed when
he was took by the Yankees while
in camp near Jacksonville.
THE Englishest-looking Englishma n
ever saw in my life" said Capt. Hope
to a Journal correspondent. was 4
rawboned fellow name Henry NJ Stan
ley, who enlisted in my battalion 4 t
Tampa late in SO or early in 64, and
who would have been with me in the
Ninth Florida regiment during the
closing days in Virginia but for his
capture. or desertiOn. at Ia CksonviIle.
How Stanley got to Tampa I either
never knew or do not remember. but
when he enlisted he was so awkward
and English in his ways that the other
boys dubbed him 'Darbey Gallikins.
disa ppeared. He had the making of a
good soldier, as he afterward proved in
his African trip, but conditions We're
so tame in Florida compared with
what they were in Virginia Georgia
and Tennessee that he was forever
and eternally chatting to get away and
do some real fighting.
Well one night General Seymour
landed a considera bic force of troops
at Jacksonville" continued the veteran,
land we, deeming discretion the bet
ter part of valor. vamOosed and re-
nained under cover until we got rein
forcements and fought the battle of
Olustee. The last time I saw Stanley
he was gathering his belongings in
camp preparatory to decamping, and I
think he stayed behind just long
enough to get captured and sent north.
The next time I heard of Darby CALI
l<ins' he had made his African trip and
the world was singing his praises.
Well, the youngster sure deserved all
the praises he got and I have for years
been sorry that he didn't get to see
some real fighting in Virginia, for /
know he would have made good with
a rush"
Are you sure your Henry NJ. Stan
ley and the explorer were one and the
same?" Capt. Hope was asked
Sure" was the reply; do you think
a fellow could ever forget that Eng
lishman after looking at him once?"

pom Springs. declares that he remem-
bers Stanley very well, the latter hav-
ing been a member Of his mess
throughout his period of service. THE
things were too slow for him" said
Hill, and / think he submitted to cap
ture in the hope of getting more fight
