TWO NEGROES HELD
FOR MILLER MURDER
Verdict of coroner,s Jury 10 First De-
gree Observation-Disclosures Under
an Alias.

Both Jack Richardson and Herbert
Cotton. negroes, were held responsible
for the death of Sidney Miller, coll
ored sexton of Christ Episcopal church
for 20 years. by a eoroner's jury yes
terday morning. Richardson was the
only witness to testify. and after hear
Ing his story the jury was in delibera-
tisn for only few minutes when they
reached a verdict. Both were bound
over to await action Of the grand jury
on charges of first degree murder The
next session of the grand jury will
convene June -, unless a special ses-
sion Is held for the purpose OF inves-
tlgating this case.
AS Richardson went on the stand he
was cautioned to tell just how the
crime was carried out from the begin
ming to the end and told that what he
said would be used against him at the
trial. He merely re-told the same
story as that which ne told the police
when he confessed knowledge of the
killing of Miller.
He said that Cotton had first men,
toned robbing Miller to him about
three weeks before it was actually
carried out, and then related how he
and Cotton went to the church from
the railroad street restaurant. After
arriving at the church, Richardson
said that he waited some little dis
lance from the door while Cotton
knocked three times. Miller opened
the door and Cotton struck him on
the head with the axe, went inside and
closed the door. TestifyIng further,
Richardson declared that Cotton came
out in about 20 minutes, locked the
door, threw the keys in clump of
bushes alongside the church, gave him
$40 in money and two gold pieces.
The two then, according to Richard
son, making q long detour. returned to
the Railroad street cafe and partici-
negro by the name OF Adams won the
gold piece OF SIS denomination, which
later figured In the arrest of the men.
A large audience OF both white and
colored people crowded into the court
room to listen to the testimony, and it
is said that feeling for while ran
high among the negroes.
Both prisoners were returned to the
county jail.
Through f1ngerprints, r. G. Forrest,
superintendent of the bureau Of iden-
tif1cation at the county Jail, discovered
yesterday afternoon that Richardson's
real name is Jack Richmond, and that
he had served time in the state prison
at Raiford and also in the county jail
here. He wa Sisted at the state prison
here. He was listed at the state prison
there April II. 1918, from Perry, Fla,
to serve q sentence OF 10 months on a
charge of larceny. He was arrested in
Pensacola Aug 1, 1921, on charge of
grand larceny and forgery, the allega-
lions being that he stole a check from
a Pullman porter between Pensacola
and Jacksonville. He pleaded guilty
to q charge of larceny In the court
Of record here April d OF the same
year and was sentenced to 10 days in
the county jail. He served both SEN
fences.
When Mr.. Forrest visited his cell
yesterday and asked him was his
name Richardson or Richmond, he ad-
mitted very readily that Richmond was
his right name.

ABOUT 1000 TIES
DESTROYED BY FIRE
crossties Valued al Approximately
$500 Burned Down on Water
front Yesterday.

A fire that for a while threatened
to destroy crossties valued at many
thousands OF dollars broke out in the
tie yard at the Birmingham, Muscle
Shoals and Pensacola railway docks
yesterday Afternoon aJbout 8 O'Clock. The
loss was estimated at approximately
$4,000. There was on the yard at the
time something like 10000 pitch pine
crossties that had been collected from
the surrounding territory to be ship
ped by boat to Boston. The loss Is
shared about equally by the Hollo
company, Robinson Lumber company
and A. j, Phipps & company.
The fire of unknown origin was first
discovered In the tie pile near the
waters edge along the bulkhead and
was raging when the fire trucks ar
rived. However, the trucks were of
fact that 1t was impossible to get
them anywhere near the blaze, and as
there was no water connections near.
The steady northerly wind was all that
saved the ties, for as 1t was the flames
leaped out over the hay where there
was nothing 1nflamable.
Several hundred ties were thrown
overheard in an effort to make a
break" in the pile so as to keep the
flames from spreading.
Through the courtesy of the Louis
vile and Nashville two of that com
pany's engines under the direction of
II. w. Speed came to the rescue fit
ted with fire fighting apparatus. Water
was pumped from the bay and the
blaze was held in check With Capt.
William Rocheblave at the wheel the
tug Sea King and the Nellie with Capt.
Aiken arrived later and helped to keep
the fire from spreading.
Finally through the combined efforts
OF all. the fire was extinguished
