 From every standpoint of produc- tion-settings, atmosphere, players and mechanical equipment His Majesty the American" is reported to outshine anything that MT. Fairbanks mas heretofore attempted.
 The story which was prepared. by Joseph Henaberry, Mir. Fairbanks di- rector, with the assistance of Elton Banks, was worked over for eight weeks 1t deals with the adventures of a young New Yorker who lives on excitement His -unqGenchable thirst for new thrills, leads him across two continents and the settings necessary for the portrayal of the story have cost tidy fortune,
 A Mexican village was built in the hills surrounding the Fairbanks stu dios in Hollywood. In another plac, Q complete French town was con structed and in another section of the studio New York tenement stree, VI e1o ClONtCu A IdllMdN llut was needed so one 1500 feet long and of standard continental design was laid, the carriages being the exact du- plicate of the type in use abroad.
 The interiors, like the exteriors, are said to be revelation, both as tC magnitude and beauty. Although the new stage of the Fairbanks studios is among the largest ever built. it was not large enough for d tremendous interior of d palace. So one end of the gigantic stag Was removed and 6C feet of flooring added to give the proper proportion to this beautiful and imposing scene. From the back of the main floor to the cameras measured 33O feet which makes this probably the largest interior ever used in a motion picture.

"The cheater Reformedp i,

William Russell. the Fox star. is entitled to the distinction of appear ing in one of the most captivating motion pictures shown at tho Eagle theatre this season. Last night mark ed the opening of The Cheater Re formed. the fame of which has been going the rounds in motion picture circles ever since it's release.
 ffThe Cheater Reformed" tells re- markedly strange story in most ef- fective and dramatic manner. Seena Owen is delightful as a rector's wife. Sam de Grasse is his usual self-an actor so clever that he is despised- as the villain. John Brammall ere ates a real screen personality fn the role of Buster" Dorsey, a crook.
 Russell plays two roles being seen as twin brothers, one a clergyman. the other a crook. When the clergy man is killed the crook assumes his position in life. A fine situation for the sport of guessing how the story IS going to end. Jules G. Furthman wrote the story and Scott Dunlap di rected the picture.
 "The Cheater Reformed" will ne shown again tonight at the Eagle thea tre and Thursday at the Central theatre.

But DR.. Pitts. the yigilant sheriff


But DR.. Pitts, the vigilant sheriff
of Perry county, was ready with a.
requisition at the end of the four
year term, and Copeland was
brought back to Mississippi,
where he was kept in Jail for al
most two years before he was
tried. At his trial he feigned in
sanity, and the issue was submit
ted to a jury to determine as to
his sanity. The verdict was that
he was sane. Thereupon a trial
was had on the charge of murder,
and the verdict was guilty, follow
ed by the death sentence. On ap-
peal the case was reversed by the
supreme court. Another trial was
had. Again there was a verdict
of guilty, and the death penalty
imposed following this verdict
was executed by DR.. Pitts, then
sheriff.
The body of Copeland was sto-
len after burial. Ten or fifteen
years ago, a skeleton said to be his
was on exhibition in one of the
drug stores at Hattiesburg. Mys-
FERROUS strangers endeavored to
buy this skeleton, but the owner
refused to part with it. A short
time afterwards the skeleton mys-
teriously disappeared.
The Copeland clan ranks in out
lawry and criminal record along
with the Land Pirates" of the no
torious John A. Murrel, and with
the Italian Malta of New Orleans.
In preparing and publishing the
little volume herein retired to, DIR.
Pitts, now, after long and use
full life, gathered to his fathers,
made valuable and an interest
ing contribution to the history of
Mississippi of a period that is the
most romantic in that history

: By w. H. G. Raymond

The death at Waynesboro, Miss,
few weeks since Of DIR. 7. r. S..
Pitts, at the advanced age of 81
years, recalls that DR.. Pitts was
the author or compiler of little
book first published in the fifties
and once eagerly read in south
Mississippi, entitled Life and
Confession of the Noted Outlaw,
James Copeland" The volume is
now rare and it is difficult to find
a copy. In fact, it has been ira
ditiOn for many years in that Sec
ton of the state that a copy of the
book cannot be retained by the
owner; that it will mysteriously
disappear. The tradition further
is that the book disappears be-
cause it is secured and destroyed
by members of the Copeland
Clan," or by their relatives, and
that each member of the clan was
under a solemn oath to destroy,
wherever it might be found, any
writing or printing having any
reference to the clan or its men,
bership; and that each member
was under a solemn oath to adj
minister to some one of his rela-
tives, before such member died,
like solemn oath that such rela
tive would, at every hazard, but
secretly if possible, destroy any
such writing or printing that
might come to his knowledge; and
that this oath was to be admins
tered from generation to genera
ton. People can now be found in
south Mississippi who will tell of
the mysterious disappearance Of
the book once in their possession.
Whether there be any basis for
the tradition or not, it is certain
that it not now an easy matter to
find a copy of the original edition.

The publication of the book in.

The publication of the book in
volved DR.. Pitts in considerable
trouble. He was prosecuted in AL
ALBANIA on a charge of libel be-
cause of the circulation of the vol
ume, and Gov. Neville honored a
requisition issued by the chief ex-
ecutive of Alabama, under which
DR.. Pitts was carried to Mobile,
was trie.l and convicted and sent
enced to pay fine and serve a
term in the county jali. The fine
was paid and the term of impriS-
onment was served. There were
reasons to believe that the prose-
cution of the author was really q
conspiracy to destroy him. Those
who knew DR.. Pitts always re-
garded his conviction as "a gross
miscarriage of justice, and it in
no wise affected his reputation or
standing as a citizen socially or
otherwise. While prisoner he
was treated with the greatest con-
siderati0n by the officials. His
guilt of the charge of libel, if
there was any guilt, was purely
technical.

its secrets, under pain of having
your head severed from your
body" The clan had a mode of
secret correspondence by means
of an alphabet Of characters in
vented, so Copeland claimed, by
John A. Murrel, the noted Ten
nnes'see outlaw. This mystic al
phabet there being a character
for each letter, is set forth in full
in the Life and Confession" but
cannot be reproduced here be-
cause the characters cannot be set
up in type.
Having been initiated as
member of the clan, young Cope
land about 1889 entered actively
upon the life Of crime, which he
pursued almost steadily until his
commission of the murder for
which he was finally executed in
1857.
Big Night in Mobile.
At "wigwam" meeting held a.
bout 1910 the clan decided to have
a regular campaign of stealing for.
one night in Mobile. Preliminary
to this, they had secured the ap-
pOi11tment of six of their humber
as members of the city guardsmen.
Disgusting themselves in various
ways, on the night agreed on, they
engaged in kind of wholesale
stealing and plundering. They
broke into many stores and secur-
ed much jeWelry and clothing and
fine goods of different kinds, not
neglecting to provide themselves
with bountiful supply of liquors.
As the burglaries were completed
the houses were fired. This night
of crime reaped them a rich har-
vest, and later Copeland, making
his way through Florida as ped
dler, disposed Of his part of the
loot for about $4,000.
The stealing of slaves was IA
vorite venture with members of
the clan. This was not as difficult
an undertaking as might be sup
posed. Many slaves were anxious
to run away from their masters,
| and to- these the clan members
promised freedom. A slave would
be enticed away from his master
in Alabama, and in company with
the clan member would travel at
night until western Louisiana or
Texas was reached. All along the
route lived members Of the clan,
but rarely suspected of being such
among their neighors. These mem
bers along the route would harbor
the runaways sometimes for days,
secreting them in their homes Of
about their premises. The slave
discovered too late that by his es-
cape from one master he had
merely secured another and per-
haps a worse one. The runaway
negro from Alabama soon found
himself under whip and lash in
the swamps Of Louisiana. It would
have meant death to him to make
|any complaint, and SO he accepted

these denials were true.

Copeland tells in his confession
of the accumulation of $4,000 in
gold coin by Wages, McGrath and
himself. This money was placed
in three well-bound kegs, which
were given several coats of paint
to protect them from moisture,
and which were delivered to Wa
ges to be buried by him. Wages re-
ported to his companions that he
had buried the kegs of gold in Cat
ahoula swamp in Hancock county.
/ He yave to Copeland a map or dia-
gram showing exactly where the
treasure was buried. The spot
was marked by a. pine tree 35
yards northeast and by a magn0-
liza tree that grew about 10 yards
southwest of the place. Copeland
lost this map in the battle in
which Harvey was killed, and was
never able to find the buried gold.
If it has ever been found the dis
coverer has kept the secret of his
finding it. For many years fol-
lowing the execution of Coueland
exploring parties and lone indi-
viduals searched Catahoula
swamp, hoping to find the hidden
coin, but it is not generally be-
lieved that it has ever been found.
We have been told that a few
years since a thorough hunt was
made by persons claiming to have
come into possession of one of the
ORIGINAL maps showing the loca-
ton of the spot, but no report was
made to the public of the result of
this search.
The crime that led to the undo
ing of Copeland was the murder of
a man named Harvey. A trivial
dispute between Harvey on one
side and Wages and Reverend
McGrath on the other side, result
ed in a fight in which Harvey kill
ed both his opponents, thus end
ing the careers of the most IA
nous and notorious of the clan
with the single exception of Cope
land. The latter swOre vengeance
on Harvey, and was further spur
red to action against Harvey by
the father Of Wages, who pr0pos-
ed to pay a large reward to who
ever would kill the man who had
taken the life of his son. Cope
land, with three or four fellow
criminals, laid a plan to assassin
ate Harvey. They secreted them
selves in an old house near Har-
vey's home, awaiting an opportun-
ity to do their bloody work. They
were discovered by posse, and q
regular battle was fought, many
shots were fired, and Harvey was
killed, as was also member of
the Copeland gang named Pool. In
his confession, Copeland relates
this peculiar incident: On the day
before this battle, while he and
Pool and q third member Of the
elan were sitting on the gallery,
| q large white fowl of q kind that
none Of them had ever seen be-
fore, passed through the yard 40
or so feet from the outlaws. This
fowl walked some 80 or 40 feet,
land when the three men rose to
get better view Of it, it took
wing and escended until it was
lost to sight. When Pool saw the
fowl he was stricken with terror
and amazement, and said TO his
companions, Boys, / shall be =
dead man before tomorrow night.
That ii an omen Of my death" The
| statement proved true. The next
day Pool was killed in the battle
that resulted III Haryey'S death
