DOUBT TEXAS MANS
CONFESSION Of
HEINOUS CRIME

SAN ANTONIO. TEN, March Is.
Texas. always so eager to pin the
badge OF crime on a black man, is for
once nonplussed. and refuses TO take
a mans word that he assaulted and
horribly murdered a young white girl.
The whole state wonders why he
insists that he is the criminal when
il has been almost conclusively proved
that he was in another town at the
time OF the crime.
The man is Luther Jamison of
-orpus Christi. who was brought here
or safe keeping
A dispatch states that Corpus
christi officers left for Rockport to
investigate statements OF Arans
county officials and employees tha
Tamison wos working in that county
yhen Blanche Perrigue was killed
lcar Corpus February p.
The investigation by Rockport Of
icials. they say. shows that Jamison,
who avidly and convincingly CON
fessed. when brought to the scene of
the tragedy. most accurate details of
what transpired February q, was all
that dav safe at work at Rockport.
This statement was on the authority
of Arkansas County Judge Joe A. Harp
or. Jamison being on the payroll of
the county.
\ peculiar thing about the Rock
port investigation was the fact that
II was begun TO show that the Corpus
crime was a parallel with a similar
tragedy three years ago at Rockport
But greatly to the surprise of officers,
All evidence pointed to the fact that
Jamison, or his double. had been at
work in Rockport, the place in which
he was living shortly after the crime.
Told Crime Details.
Only this much is possible officers
say: There is some unaccountable ali
hi for Jamison, some mistake some
where. or the man is innocent--in
which case, they say, he has developed
one of the most peculiar twists OF in
sanity ever brought to record.
What motive, they ask. could had
induced him. when he was captured
and led to the scene of the crime. to
VOW and swear that he was guilty,
even after officials told him that such
was impossible.
uCiCs buL d SliOiA u4otdHNN tAOAAl
town, Jamison stood and told, detail
by detail. the horrible incidents that
he saw or imagined; how he had
warned the 16-year-old girl upon her
approach TO fec; how she had thrown
a stone at him, and how. he, impas-
stoned and enraged, had pursued her
and, upon catching her, held and vi
olated her, finally cutting her thro t
to the spine-then dragging the body
away and covering it with weeds. The
last act. he said, was to go to the
seashore and there wash out his
bloody clothes.
In all, it was a story so gruesomely
realistic that, officers felt, there could
not be the slightest shadow OF doubt.
and furthermore, they had suspected
him in the first place so his confess
sion was not merely voluntary; it was.
in a measure, they reason, forced.
Everything was so completc-the
description matched that given by
Mexicans who had seen a mulatto
departing from the crime scene-that.
tearing mob violence, officials brought
him 10 San Antonio.
