c0NFEssEs ON DEATHBED
BY the Story a Young Woman Of Jack
sonviIIe, Fla, Long Suspected Of
Crime, 10 Exonerated.

Jacksonville, Fla.-A belated cOnfes-
sion in a local hospital by a dying
woman clears up a murder mystery
and exonerates a well-knOwn young
woman of this city. For seven years
that young woman has lived under the
stigma of having committed the crime.
Miss Jesse Brown is the young wom-
an. The "other woman" is Laura Liv-
ingston, who. at the point of death
from tuberculosis, was unwilling to
die In silence when her speech could
right q great wrong that had been
done to an innocent woman.
The man who was killed was Earl
P. Adams, an actor. then director Of
the Mable Paige stock company. In
April. 1909, that company was play
ing in Jacksonville and Adams was
engaged to be married to Miss Brown.
According to the story then told. he
desired to break his engagement with
Miss Brown SO that he might marry
Miss Elizabeth Bagley. According to
that same story. which had gained
credence and was regarded as true un-
til today, Adams was shot by Miss
Brown when he went to her home to
explain why he had broken his engage
ment. Miss Brown was arrested at the
time, but freed through lack Of EVIL
dence.
All of those theories were disproved
in the light of the confession of Laura
Livingston, who says that Adams was
shot by Charles Virgins. her sweet
heart.
