NEGRO ADMITS ATTACK.
SAYS He Hit Miss Ebert With Stone,
But Did Not Touch Her.

Annapolis, Md, April 10.-Confess-
ing that he struck Miss Cora Ebert, OF
Odcnton, with heavy stone last Fra
day afternoon just before ne reported
finding her lying beside the railroad
tracks near Odenton station, but de-
nying that he had beaten her to death,
Archie Isaacs, negro track walker,
gave new story, to officials yester-
day.
The confession was made in the
presence of Baltimore headquarters
Detectives Dougherty and Hogan in
the Annapolis Jail yesterday afternoon,
following severe grilling for the
negro. Later Sheriff Bells, states
Attorney Green and the warden were
called in.
Isaacs appeared to have something
to say to the detectives during the
forenoon, and seemed 10 be worried
about something just before making
his statement. However, about =
o'clock he called them to his cell and
told them he had been lying ever since
he was arrested, but now that they
had him in tight place he would con-
TESS to all he knew of the tragedy.
The detectives went into the cell
with him and he began by saying that
on Friday afternoon he was working
some distance from Odenton Station
when he saw Miss Ebert coming TO-
ward him, and that this was the first
time he had ever seen her. AS she
came closer. he said, he picked up a
stone, and, not knowing why, he threw
it at her.
Then he saw her fall, and knew the
stone must have struck her. He said
he could not recall what happened be-
tween this time and when he ran to
the railroad station to report seeing
her lying beside the rails.
he asserted that he never touched
Miss Ebert, not even after she had
fallen, and was at loss to explain
how his shoes became spotted with
blood and how the long. heavy wrench.
which the police believe he used, also
happened to have blood marks upon it,
The detectives assert that Isaaos' in
ability or refusal 10 explain what &C.
cured between the time Of hitting
Miss Ebert with the stone and his
arrival at Odenton can easily be &C
counted for by the appearance of a
struggle on the sand where Miss
Ebcri's body was found, the discovery
Of the wrench and the blood-staineG
shoes said to have belonged to the
negro.

HARRY HOwRY DIES OF
SPANISH INFLUENZA

The Time regrets to chronicle this
week the passing Of one Of our best
young men, Harry Howry, son OF
William Howry, who died Friday ar
ternoon Of influenza He was 2S
years of age, and was born in Missou-
ri.
The young man has practically
spent his life in Meridian, and was
specially prominent for two reasons:
One was his natural good-natured
interest in everything Of social EN-
ioyment in the community The other
was; being without one limb (which
he lost in childhood) his overcoming
this obstacle naturally attracted the
favorable attention and sympathy Of
everyone. Harry did not ask for any
preference however, as he was a
splendid machinist and auto expert,
and has for some time earned a good
salary.
| His death, however, was more pat
hetic for the reason that his friends
were denied attending a public fun
eral, as he deserved. Harry was q
good boy, loyal kind friend, who
will be missed every day by those
who would see his familiar face on
the street.
Funeral services were held from
the Meridian cemetery at 2 o'clocA
Saturday afternoon, Rev H. B. Pow
ers and Rev. G. A. Quinn conduct
ing the services.
