Wednesday Of last week.
In at last disclosing what the officials
here credit as the most plausible cause
Of her unusual crime, Mrs. Yates prac-
tically exonerates the girl from blame
for her part in the crime and relates
details OF some conditions, terrible il
true, that drove her to plot the death Of
her husbands three children.
In her last confession, made late Sat

to relatives from Kentucky, who visit
ed her in the jail here, Mrs. Yates di-
rectly charges that not only was her
husband guiltyof the ruin Of Floy Far

PLANs To coyER cRIME.

Had the original plans Of Mrs. Yates
been successful, il might have been
months before the bodies Of the children
would have been found, and perhaps the
real facts Of their death would never
have come 10 light. She had selected d
wild spot, far from any habitation to
commit the deed. She had intended to
slay all three and leave them there ia
the unfrequented wilds. With the secret
locked in her own heart and that Of her
daughter the facts would not have been
known until fate bad cleared ii up.
But her plans failed dismally. Little
Jimmie escaped, and she sin the hands
Of the Law. Realizing that her scheme
had been overthrown, Mrs Yates began
to prepare story to tell. she hurried
back to the cabin on the hill where she
instructed Floy Farris as to what to say
when questioned.
You must say we we're hoeing cot

the girl and that we heard the chill

Ida NAY NEXT VICTIM.

Here little Jimmie ceased speaking
and in his little face could be seen the
reflex OF his mental picturing Of the
awful tragedy. Coaxed gently he pro.
ceeded. and bis simple narration caused
creep chills to course up and down the
reporters spine.
Me and Ida May was just standin
there. We wusn't sayin' nothin'. /
was SO scared / was afraid to say any
thing, and / guess Ida May was, too.
Ida May was standin close to the bank
cryin'. Mama grabbed at her when she
put Ligon down and Ida May run.
Mama run after her short piece and
then told Floy to catch her. Floy run
iaster'n mama and she caught her.
Mama met Floy and they dragged Ida
May back to the branch. She picked Ida
May up in her arms and put her right
by the side Of Ligon. She put both
knees on Ida and held her in the water
until she almost quit moyin' and then
she lifted her up and looked at her, too,
like she did Ligcn. She put her back
and Floy commenced to cry. Mama
told Floy to shut her mouth. "
TOOK TO FLIGHT
It was while the woman madesure OF
the death Of little Ida May that Jimmie,
who ran naked more than d mile through
briars and brambles and sharp-bladed
corn, and whose little body was scratched
and torn by his fight from certain death

AS she tells her story Of the man she

greatly excited
Telling Of the relations she alleges

protested.
Not only did he do that, she says,
but lie took the part of his children

These are the words OF the woman
now in jail here charged with the fiend-
ish crime. She seems to have formed
an intense hatred for him and blames
him for the terrible happening that will
unfold the entire unwholesome tale
when she gets before trial jury. She
begged Attorney General d. ]. Cald-

against her husband, to permit her to

Just what the lads intentions were

MEETINGS GROWING
IN INTEREST
REV. Mr.. HOPKINS breaches
FINE SERMONS AT REVIVAL
IN STEvENSVlLLE.

Y ~Stevensville, Feb. 13.-(Special.)-
Large congregations continue to at
tend the meetings being held at the
Methodist Episcopal church, South, and
the interest continues to increase with
each service. All the churches in the
city discontinued their prayer meet
ings Wednesday evening in honor of
the meetings and their pastors and
people attended the service. The
proposition of the existence of a per
sonal devil was discussed by Rev. Mr..
Hopkins Wednesday evening. rs there
a personal devil?' he asked. Yes, if
there is a personal Zoe there is a per-
sonal devil, and the Scripture portrays
the existence of the one as clearly as
the other he said. The devil was
once a great angel in heaven, accord
ing to his version, but was expelled
from heaven when he attempted to de-
throne God. He contends that Satan,
the prince of the devils, together with
many thousands of fallen angels, all of
whom are devils, are in the world to-
day seeking to destroy the souls of
men.
Entire conservation was the theme
last evening. God cannot use a man
or woman and His glory unless he is
wholly His he said. Many men
are following the Lord afar off. when
it is their privilege to walk by His
side n enjoy His constant com-
~panionship. Business men, farmers,
merchants and editors give their whole
life to their work, and unless they do
this they will not succeed. Neither
can Christians succeed except they be-
come wholly the Lords and conse-
crate their whole life to Him." he said.
