Relatives of the white man in thef
county Jail, held in connection withz
the murder of the aged Davis couples
near Camp Walton, several davsa
since, were in Pensacola yesterday
and engaged counsel to represent the
man under suspicion. whose name isl
Blackwell. Lawyers were engaged5
and already preparations are being
made for the defense.
Information from OkaIoosa coYntvs
last night had 1t that two white won1-i

crime. 1t was stated, however. thats
the women are not charged with ac-
tual completely or GRIN. nal l-nowIedoe
OF the double killing, but are being
detained more as witnesses than anv.
thing else, and are understood to have
been ordered held until certain otter
matters m connection with the kill
ing are cleared up.

one session after the other. was ~
ported last night to have completed
Investigations, and adjourned. Whatt :

of other suspects was not announced
last night. A member IF the islrv,
over long-elistanac telephone, SIMPLY
announced that the jury was throan
and had adjourned. It is the general
opinion, however, that other arrests
will be effected, probably today.
Assisting the prosecuting attorney
and Sheriff Sutton during the past
few days, q detective of some note
has been at work, and his activities
have already borne fruit. Following
the presentation OF evidence which
he worked up mainly, it is reported,
the two women were taken into Gus
tody, and considerably strengthened
the evidence against the white man
in Jail here for safekoeping, and
will also probably warrant the ar
rest of other parties.
The murder of the aged Davis
couple has stirred both Santa Rosa
and Okaloosa counties, and no effort
is being spared to clear up the nnys-
terry. 1t is understood that one party
is known to have endeavored to en-
| list the service of another in robblng
the old people, but officers and citi-
zens of the county in which the crime
was committed, state that if this is
| so, the evidence to strengthen this
assertion has not yet come to light.

DeFuniak Herald Takes UP
Loyalty P1edge-Receive
Many Signatures

At the suggestion of The Journal,
the DeFuniak Herald has inserted
the pledge of loyalty in its columns,

teristic of Larkin Cleveland, which
was received yesterday by the loyal
ty editor, will be of wide interest:
Il have signed and am returning to
you herewith my pledge of loyalty to
President Wilson and the United
States of America. This is no new
thing with me. In 1898, when the toe
sin of war sounded and "Uncle Sam"
rolled up his sleeves and called for
volunteers to lick Spain, | was a
young fellow in my twenties, and
along with thousands of other pa
triotic young fellows enlisted and
served six months in the volunteer
army. True, / did not achieve any
great notoriety that happened to be
stirring, but the blooming war didn't
last long enough for me to get into
the actual fighting and capture a
Spanish regiment all by my lonesome.

of course, read the story of Sergeant
Jasper CALAMITY leaping over the
ramparts and restoring the flag
which had been shot away by the
British, and of how the brave SER
geant declined to accept a commits

thing of the sort on account of moi
being able to read or write, and ]
had determined to do something OF
the same sort and had my little song
and dance all committed to memoirs
so that I could rattle it off like THE
Boy Stood on the Burning Deck,

with a sword and vote of thanks or
