Another suspect, Anderson Heard,
held in the Minden jail in the Reeves
murder has confessed, according 10
officers. He implicated himself, Ches-
ter Tyson, Mark Peters and Larkin
Stewart, but says no white men took
part in the murder. Two of these ne
groes, Stewart and Peters, with Long
and Tyson, are at some point in the
state for safe-keeping. His confession
was not thought much of at first. but
on being taken to the scene OF the
crime by officers, he gave so many
details of the crime that correspond
with the physical facts in the case
the officers felt convinced he at least
knew much about the murder.
Sheriff Phillips and two deputies
and District Attorney II. c. Drew left
Minden with Heard, presumably to
convey him to where the other sus-
poets are held. They passed through
Shreveport in an automobile, but
would not make known their point Of
destination. Sheriff Phillips intimated
he had an all-night trip ahead of him
He has been on the go constantly
ever since the crime was committed
week ago. and is nearly exhausted
from loss Of sleep and work.
In his confusion Heard said he re
mained on the outside of the house

The axe with which the wholesale
killing was done had been identified
previously as belonging to Chester
Tyson. The murdered mans pistol was
found hidden between the mattresses
in Tyson's bed the day after the mur
der was committed.

New Orleans received a new 500,
900 factory for New Year present
The site has been selected, modern
machinery ordered, and about seventy
five people will be employed. Al
though New Orleans capital is con
cerned in the enterprise, the city was
chosen upon its merits. Another IN
portant feature Of the venture is that
its raw material will be raised by the
farmers of the section.
The establishment will be that OF
the Roberts Wiegand Pickle Company,
and it will be the first of its kind In
Louisiana. p. H. Roberts, successful
manager of the American Pickle and
Canning Company. at Virgins, Miss,
is at the head Of the company, and
George A. Wiegand and A. c. st. Marc.
Of this city. are his leading associates.
! The formal announcement will not be
forthcoming for week, but the de-
| tails are known TO a number OF peo-
pie here, who predict that the con-
cern will have an important bearing
upon the agricultural and commercial
future of this section.
Mr. Roberts, it is understood. did
not undertake to form an opposition
to the Mississippi enterprise, which
is well established and fiourishingly
largely through his efforts. He came
down from Iowa five years ago with
the idea. but met only predictions thai
realization was impossible. He over
came obstacle after obstacle, and las
year had the farmers of the Virgins
vicinity growing cucumbers on 1.20'
acres in order to feed the plant. Blu
the supply was insufficient, and h
: decided to broaden both the area o
production and the scope OF manufac
ture. On account of transportation
and distribution facilities and othe
advantages he decided to make New
, Orleans the location of an upto-dat
= factory and secured the required SUP
i pot.
t 1t is proposed TO begin with the cul
+ tivation of fully 5000 acres. and farm
1 ! ers in various sections have alread
been enlisted to undertake the plant
y ing of the crop. The centers alread
. interested are Brookhaven, Ma9noli
