CONVICTED MAN
.CLINGS TO HIS
UNUSUAL STORY
ED. MADDOX, WHO WAS FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER IN FIRST
DEGREE, STICKS TO THE TALE
HE TOLD THE JURY.

Ed. Maddox. the negro, convicted in
the circuit court Monday of murder
in the first degree, in his cell at the
police station yesterday, told how ne
passed the night after the verdict had
been returned against him. Yes, sir,
I sho did pray las night, and felt
better after it, too" he said to a Jour
nal representative. "I am a Baptist
preacher, and come from Mississippi,
and just loved Mr.. Crooko, and never
had any idea that my gun had even
been fired when I left the store.
thought he had shot at me, and when
got outside I found one barrel of my
gun smoking. Then when they told
me killed Mr.. Croolxe, Captain, did
not know just what to do. I never
had thing against him, and sho' did
not make up my MIND, like that niger
said. to go, hunt him up and get even.
1 worked for Mr.. Crooke a long time
and sho' had nothing against him,
cause 1 sho' did like him"
Asked If it was not so that he had
the gun ready for use, he said:
mot any more than you has right
here he said, and when a nearby pris-
oner made a movement and a deputy,
who stood near the cell turned around
quickly, Maddox's eyes flashed, and
scared look came into them. He did
not feel easy, and when it was men
toned to him that the most serious Cf
crimes had been proven on him, he
shuddered. Captain if I had to die
this very day, I did not know I had
killed Mr.. Crooke, and did not know
that he was shot until after some mig
ger told me about 1t. I run, sure /
did, and was going to keep out of the
way until I could decide what to do
with myself. Right now, 1 don't know
what I would do if it was possible to
bring him back to life

conviction and probable penalty
much as possib1e-it was naturally a
subject for him. But he
did say: Some of the witnesses did

that some of my witnesses did not
they were afraid to. Just to
say what they were afraid Of can't.
But after what kind of testimony was
being heard. the verdict of the jury did
not surprise me. 1 did not expect
anything else. That was all they could
do with my witnesses away. But,
Captain, sno' did not intend to kill
Mr.. Crooke, and believe yet that
bullet from his pistol went up the bar

FINE PLEASURE
YACHTSIN PORT
FORSHORT STAY
THE JANE FROM NEW YORK, AND
THE BETSY FROM PITTS5URG,
ATTRACTED MANY SAUNTER-
ERs ALONG THE WATERFRONT.

Two fine pleasure yachts put into
port yesterday, and remained through
out the day at Palafox wharf. The
Jane, owned by r. Waverly Smith, a
Galveston banker, and the Betsy,
owned by q Mr.. Champion of Pitts
burg, were the names Of the craft
The Jane was moored at the Gulf Ma
chine Works docks receiving supplies,
while the Betsy was moored at the
west side of Palafox wharf, only a
half dozen yards away.
The Jane is one of the finest yachts
which come to this port periodically.
In May of this year the same craft
called for supplies and then went on
to New York. At present the pleasure
boat is enroute from New York to Gal
weston.
First-c1ass accommodations for a
large party are available on the Jane,
which is a vessel of a length of lie
feet, a breadth of II feet, and depth
Of eight feet. Her net tonnage is 70.
The Jane is four years old. having been
built in New York in 1910.
A party of pleasure seekers accom-
pany the owner of the Betsy on this
trip, and yesterday, in an automobile,
were shown over the city generally,
spending the greater part of the day at
the San Carlos hotel, and they were
surprised at the magni1cence of this
Pensacola hostelry. They are all in
terested in the oil business. being
identified, for the most part in what
is known as the Magnolia Oil Com
pany, of Texas.
The Jane left New York on October
%, and it was stated aboard vest sr-
day that good weather had favored the
vessel during it's entire :'cyage. What
is known as the INSIDE" passage was
used until after Beaufort, N. c., wasleh
behind, and the trim craft took to the
open sea, stopping at several points,
among them at Miami, where, it was
stated, there are a surprisingly few
pleasure boats.
Both vessels will probably go to -ea
during the day.

VOTE SMALLEST
POLLED HERE IN
A NUMBER YEARS
LITTLE INTEREST IN THE GENER-
Al ELECTION, BUT INDICATIONS
ARE THAT AMENDMENTS ALL
CARRIED

Little interest was manifest in ES-
Gambia county in the general election
of yesterday and the indications are
that the vote was the smallest polled
in the county in many years. Reports
from the county precincts showed that
the county polled a larger percentage
of it's votes than the city. An illus
tration of the city vote is shown in
precinct No. Is, where the qualified
vote is the largest. There only 43
votes were polled.
Judging from the few precincts re-
ported last night all of the constitu-
tional amendments, including the one
to abolish the office of county treas
urer. carried by over two to one.
The election was big contrast to
the primaries. The clerks and inspec-
tors spent a dull day, with only an
occasional voter dropping in to cast
his ballot. Down at the Little Bayou
precinct the four clerks and inspectors
cast their ballots and besides these
only two other persons voted there.
Congressman Wilson Did Not Vote.
Congressman Emmett Wilson did
not come home for the election and
consequently did not vote in the gen
eral election in which he was the only
congressional candidate IN his district.
Numerous others, however. did not
take the trouble to go to tht polls and
consequently Congressman Wilson was
elected He has not been in Pensa-
cola since the early part Of July, not
having returned to the city after con-
gress adjourned.

"sins of the Father" Tomorrow.

OibtS W VIC 0bHSIy NOHIOiTO"s
The announced appearance of Mr..
Thos. Dixon tomorrow night at the
opera house, has caused many seats
to be reserved, for that occasion. The
Sins of the Father of which play
Mr.. Dixon is the author, viii be the at
traction on that occasion.
Mr.. Dixon is one of Americas fore
most authors and dramatists and
writes only plays and books, that ap-
peal to the brains of his readers and
hearers. 1.-THE Sins of the Father
is a tragic story Of man, high in
public life, who in moment of weak
ness, is subtly tempted and yields.
Realizing the horror into which his
act has plunged him, he devotes tue
remainder of his life 20 an effort to
remove the cause Of such acts. The
entrance of a strange girl into the life
Of his only son brings the affair to a
thrilling and dramatic climax. Al
though the lesson taught is power
full one, the comedy is not neglected.
The comedy scenes are undoubtedly
the funniest specimens of genuine ne
gro humor offered the public. No "a
tive dramatist has ever gotten be-
meath the skin" to decend to slang
for the moment, of the miro of .he
Southland, as has Mr.. Dixon.
The double bill of Mr.. Dixon IND
his play will undoubtedly crowd the
house. Seats now selling at Balk-
