SAYS KILLING ACCIDENTAL.
Frank Mcmillan Says He Mistook
ThOs. G. Goforth for Squirrel.

| Covington, Tenn, Sept. 11-Frank
Mcmillan, aged II years, who was
arrested yesterday, charged with the
killing of Thomas Goforth, aged 10
years, Saturday, week ago to-day,
this morning confessed to Deputy
Sheriff T. L. Black that while hunt
ing in the woods near Gilt Edge last
Saturday morning he mistook young
Goforth for squirrel, and shot and
killed him. Young Goforth had
climbed up tree to gather some
wild grapes and Mcmillan claims he
saw the branches of the tree waving
and thought the lad was a squirrel,
and shot him. He said Goforth
screamed when he was shot, and his
body fell to the ground. Mcmillan
claims that he was so frightened
when he saw he had shot the boy
that he hurriedly left the scene, but
soon returned and found that Co
forth was dead, and he was afraid
to tell any one about his connection
with the killing, and hence kept it
secret. Mcmillan claims that the
statement that he and young Goforth
had had some trouble about week
before the latter's death is not true
McMillan's preliminary trial was
to have taken place before Squires

trial was continued until Tuesday,

Points Not Pertinent.

BROOKLYN HAS BIG PAGEANT
History Of the City 10 Shown In Eight
Episodes on an Immense
Stage.

Brooklyn. N. Y, May z1.-On q
stage 40 feet wide and rs feet deep,
the Brooklyn Historical society pre-
scented today mammoth pageant
showing the history Of Brooklyn. or
Breukelen. as the Dutch called 1t. The
pageant will be repeated tomorrow.
There are 1000 In the cast and 1000 in
the chorus.
After a prelude showing the reign
of the Spirit Of Nature, the first cpl
sode portrays the Canarsie Indians,
aborigines of Brooklyn, gathered
around the council fire listening to the
prophetic medicine men heralding the
approach OF strange tribe. In the
second episode Henry Hudson lands
on Coney islands shore in 1909 and
invades the Indian village. The third
episode depicts the Breukelen town Of
1916 and the interruption of the char
ter celebration by an Indian alarm.
The fourth episode is laid in 1775 and
deals with the romance of Melrose
hall and the Tory conspiracy in the
historic Flatbush mansion, aiming at
the seizure Of George Washington. and
which was frustrated by the loyalty
Of two young lovers.
Probably the most exciting of the
scenes will be the nth episode. the re-
enactment Of the battle Of Long Island
in 1776. in which the troops of Della
ware and Maryland resisted the inva-
sion Of the British. The sixth and
seventh episodes show Civil war
events and the eighth the city Of
Greater New York.
