Elwell Murder Confession Fake.

Buffalo, \. Y, April 11.-Con-
vinced that rRoy Harris told the
truth In repudiating his confession
Of completely in the murder of JOS
Is. Elwell in New York last June,
former Governor Whitman and Capt.
Arthur Carey, OF the New York po-
lice department, to-day notified Dis
trict Attorney Moore and Police
Chief Higgins that their interest in
the prisoner had ceased.
The nerve which carried Harris
through grilling cross examinations
after his arrest last Wednesday com
pletely vanished to-day. AS he talk
ed to MIR. Whitman and confessed
that his Elwell murder story was
imaginative his voice shook with
emotion, and several times he ex-
pressed a wish to die
Harris showed plainly" said Mr..
whitman, that he had not the
slightest knowledge Of the facts in
tho Elwell case, except what he had
read in the newspapers"

MIR. COOK CAN'T UNDERSTAND
Tho Oconee Road Situation Any Bot
tor Than tho Rest Of Us.

Editor Keowee Courier:
We would like to congratulate you
OIL your article Of last week in re-
gard to the financial troubles Of our
Road Supervisor. Your article is
very fine and truthful, but we are
obliged to differ from you on your
idea Of placing Mr.. Shockley and his
convicts and implements for the
future. Your proposition is perfectly
absurd. You say. wee believe our
County Supervisor is practically out
Of Il job. Holy smoke! Now, we
know that there are more than one
thousand miles Of public roads in our
county, every mile Of it needing
work the worst kind. Some Of it
has not been worked in five years.
Every mile of those roads is abso-
lutely in care Of MIR. Shockley. The
road forenlen nave been dismissed
for lack Of funds to pay them for
their work. Mr.. Shockley has no
help at all. Now. MIR. Editor. If you
were in Mr.. Shockley's place, would
you think you were out Of a job?
lie will probably have six months Of
good weather from now until fall
the last of October-about $50 days.
If he uses his equipment he will
probably work five miles per day,
and he would only nave worked over
$50 miles. and he would even then
be $50 miles behind with his job.
Does this look like man out Of a
job?
Now Mr.. Editor. we think it is
perfectly absurd to take Mr.. Shock
ley and his implements away from
the people who elected him to office,
and place him away off in one corner
Of the county practically in obscur-
ity, where thrre-fOurths of the peo-
pie of the county never travel, just
| to build "a missing link of road
| for the Highway Commission. To do
| this he would he obliged to abandon
! one thousand miles Of his own roads
that he is under obligation to care
for. and that would not only be very
shameful. but it would be perfectly
| inconsistent. and we do not think
the people will stand for this kind
OF business. nor 10 we think that Mr..
Shockley would be willing to this.
He has about two years work to do.
All Of it should be done in a month
| We think ii is obviously unncceS-

In the ring was in a position to know

referee without much confidence IN his
own judgment could thus be swayed by
the votes of the Judges. and on numerous

draw. Under the new system the an

ment OF the result. Thus each official
must vote without, having the slightest
