MERRY|NA|V TELLS
Of KILLING ANOTHER
MAN IN KENTUCKY

Claiming that he committed a MUIR
der for which another man paid the
penalty, K. c. Merryman, forty-sev-
en- years old, typewriter mechanic,
serving d life sentence at the Oak
land convict camp, for a statutory
offCnse, made a second confession
at the convict camp Saturday in
which he told of the killing of Will
liam Cannon at Mckenzie, Ky, over
thirty-tWo years ago. Merryman is
said to have previously confessed to
having taken part in the killing of
an aged couple in Hickman, Ky.
thirty-siX years ago, and told the
jail officials while confined at the
Fulton county Jail of various crimes
in which he had participated during
his life. .,.-
Mertyman said he shot and killed
Cannon in the woods at Mckenzie.
about mile and a thalf from the
railroad. Cannon and James Rooney
were having words at the time, he
said, but neither saw Merryman, who
had quietly stolen, UP within gun
shot of the. pair, M erryman said he
used a .32-caliber revolver Rooney,
according to information Merryman
claims he recently received from
AcIlSI Ill w 1lNSI' VI Liz HIIldIlt NY,
who came to Atlanta, was tried and
convicted of the crime and was sent
to the penitentiary, Merryman says
he was aware that Rooney was ar
rested and charged with. the muir
der, but he says he thought he was
acquitted. Merryman says he left
Mckenzie a short time later and did
not learn until few days ago that
new evidence was found against
Rooney and he was tried and con-
victed.
Merryman claims the. crime was
committed in the latter part of 1887.
He said he was the Youngest of the
three and no suspicion was ever cast
upon him. He declared he had re-
med in ignorance of the fate of
Rooney and was anxious to set him
right if he still lived. Clad in a
striped convict suit with chains on
his legs, Merryman freely told of the
occurrence, claiming it mattered NOT
to him now. His only fear was that
it might tend in a few years to pre-
vent a pardon being granted him.

ALLIES COla. INC ON
TRIAL Of GERMANS
IN GUILTY LIST

PARIS Feb. 21.-Allied partieipa-
ton in the punishment of German
war guilty had dwindled tonight to
submission of evidence to German
tribunals at Leipsig, in the opinion
of observers here.
This evidence, it was learned, is
being compiled by the recently Gre
ated allied commission of justiciaries,
to be presented to the German au
thorities.
Interest in punishment of the war
guilty has waned since publication
of the recent allied note to Ger
many, in which the council of pre-
miers, practically backed down on
the more important phases of the al
lied demand for punishment of the
accused Teutons, and agreed to the
German governments proposition
that they be tried before a German
court at Leipzig.
The impression prevailed in many
quarters that such men as Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and Gen
eral Ludendorff never will be brought
to trial. despite the fact their. names
were included in the allied lists.
The German government, it. was

these men can not be brought be-
fore the bar without placing the
Ebert administration in grave dam
ger, and the allies are on record as
desiring the continuation of the gov
crnment so they can be sure of hav-
ing q stable Germany to carry out
the Versailles treaty.
Observers, however, saw in the ap-
pointment of Raymond Poincare, the
former president, as head of the in
ter-allied PREPARATIONS committee,

there was no yielding on the fepara-

The Hungarian treaty, which still
is Hanging fire." probably will not
be signed for several days. TheH Hun
garian delegation today applied for
another extension of time in which to
submit their governments counter
proposals.
The allied decision not to accept
the fantastic offer Of the former Ger
man crown prince to substitute him
self for the list of accused Germans
was expected. His proposal, made in
a cablegram to the heads of the va
rious allied and associated powers,
never received serious consideration,
officials said.

SENATOR SMITH
ANXIOUS TO SEE
. ACTION ONPACT
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building,
BY THEODORE TTLLER

WASHINGTON, Feb 22-Assert-
ing he was more anxious to have the
peace treaty disposed of than to
contemplate what platforms and
Campaign issues might be evolved
out of the covenant of the League of
Nations, Senator Hoke Smith made a
brief speech in the senate Saturday.
The Georgia senator discussed the
pending amendment offered by Sem
ator Hitchcock to provide that this
country may withdraw from the
League of Nations by giving notice
and by announcing it's purpose to
withdraw through joint resolution
of congress. The Republican propo-
sal is that withdrawal may be had
through concurrent" resolution of
the two houses of congress. The
difference between concurrent and
joint resolution is that the president
must sign or veto the latter, while
a concurrent resolution does not go
to the president.
In his speech urging early agree
ment on the treaty Senator Smith
said = ...
Mr.. President, it is exceedingly
interesting to contemplate the pos
sible platforms that might be deVel-
oped for candidates and parties out
of the covenant of the League of Ma
tons, but / am more interested in
getting q vote on the reservation
than 1 am in discussing possible par
ty platforms.
AS to the resolution now before
the senate, l cordially approve of
the provision that leaves it to the
two houses, and majority of each,
to declare that we shall exercise our
privilege of withdrawing from the
league. 1 am not particular about
giving a president the power ALSO
though l am very particular about
not allowing the president to veto
the action of the majority of the two
houses of congress and force US ito
obtain a two-thirds vote in order to
give the requisite notice.
Il am perfectly wiling for a pres
ident to have the right also, because,
as this is plunge into the unknown,
L do not object to facilities for get
ting out if any well established au-
thority or high official of real re-
sponsibility wishes to take us out.
However, I discussed this SUBJ
Ject when it was previously under
consideration. [ have no doubt
about the constitutiona1ity of the
provision that permits us to with
draw by the action of a majority of
each house. I discussed that last No
Vember and shall not now repeat
what l then said in support of the
constitutionality Of a similar pro-
vision. am more interested in
reaching vote on the pending res
erVation and however pleasant 1t
would be for me to enter into a con-
stitutional discussion on this sub

Jackson Farmer Has
Civil War Paper,
Printed on Wallpaper

ATHENS, Ga, Feb. 21.-Georgia
Jennings, Jackson county farmer, is
the possessor of a very interesting
relic of Civil war days, a news pa per
printed on wall paper. The name of
the paper is the Daily Citizen" and
dicrs stationed at Vicksburg. Miss,
in July, 1868. The paper contained
news concerning the army, and was
printed on colored wall paper. The
following extracts of interest are
published in the paper:
I'VE are indebted to Major Gil
Iespie for a steak of Confederate
beef-mule meat. We have tried it,
and can assure our friends that if
it is rendered necessary, they need
have no ScrupleS at eating the meat,
1t is sweet, savory and tender, and
so long as we have a mule left, we
are satisfied our soldiers will DO con-
tent to subsist on it,"
Another item says: "a rumor has
reached us that parties in our city
have been and are now selling flour
at 20 per pound, molaSSeS lat $40
per gallon, and corn at $40 per bush
ell"
The most interesting local said:
THAT great UIysses-the Yankee
generalissimo, surnamed Grant-has
expressed his intention of dining in
Vicksburg on Sunday next, and cele-
Drating the Fourth of July by grand
dinner, and so forth. When asked if
he,would invite General Joe John

fear there will be row at the ia

Two days later, July 4, the editor
changed his mind, and wrote as fol-
lows 1.-Two days brings about great

floats over Vicksburg. General

Tobacco Price Raised
By European Demand.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The OK
traordinary European demand for to-
bacco other than the cigar types and
the Immensely increased use of to-
bacco for cigarettes during 1919 rails
ed the average farm price Of the
composite chewing, smoking, snuff
and export types to Alb cents on
December l, or greatly above the
price of 21.9 cents for cigar tobac-
co, experts of the department of
agriculture state.
The price of cigar types of tobac-
co before last year always has been
above that of the other types, as a
whole. Cigar tobacco last year was
lower in price than it was in either
1918 or 1917, not because of increase
of production, but because of weak
er demand. In commenting on the
prices, the department of agricul-
ture says the cigar has been over
taken and passed by the cigarette.
