HARKS LIFE OF CR1MR. i Texan ronfrijti to Four K illinRM ? ^ ? | I ( Tired of Dodging the Law, .{ Baltimore, Feb, 22.? Charles F. McCandless, sixty-two, of Hurst, Texas, who confesses, according to police, ho killed four men in Texas and New Mexico, between 1900 and 1910, and who claims there is a $10, -J 000 reward for his arrest, surren dered to the police here today._ His motive for surrendering, he is al leged to have told authorities, was that he is tired of living under as sumed names and that he wants to visit his 84-year-old mother in Hurst, Texas, who wants him to atone for his misdeeds before she dies. McCandless, according to his signed confession to the police, had served as guard at 'various military camps throughout the West under the names of Jack and Riphai'd W? < Wilier. Two years ago, he states, while serving under the name of i Richard Miller, he was chief guard ? of the Newport News Dry Uoojt and] Shipbuilding Company. Homer O, ; Harries was another of His mr.ny] aliases, he. said. ' . ? McCandless also claims to have lulled a fifth man, whose name he does not know. This Rilling, hi? confession states, (jpctu'recl at a niili ti-.i < amp in* Arizona in 1915 from which he deserted after killing a guard. i lie list of men killed, as given in his confession, follows: A. Hill Walton, at Turnertiville, Texas, in 1900. (.'nil Woods, at Hyco, Texas, in 1908. An unnamed "highwayman" at Stcphensville, Texas, in 1908. "Hill" Tuck, alias "Ike" Dupreo, at Clovis, N. M., in 1910. It was for the murder of Woods, McCandless is alleged to have told the police, that the $10,000 reward wan offered for his arrest. A letter found in McCandless' pocket, addressed to Miller, praised him for aiding in clearing up the mystery of a boy shot near the New port News "Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company's yards several years ago. The letter is written on sta tionery of that concern and is sign ed by J. W. Reynolds, chief of the special agents of that company. McCandless claims his son, Capt: Earl McCandless, of the intelligence department of the United States coast defense, was in charge of the special agents at the shipbuilding plant during the time he was there. During the IVst two years, McCan dless declares, he has been employed as chief chef at the State sanitarium, Sabillasville, Md., and has been cook on a coastwise vessel out of Balti more. He also was known as Miller in these positions, he says. MANY SAW HARRISON I)1E. Dr. Durham Recalls Lynchihg of Mor rison nt Kershaw. Columbia, Feb. li).? <-It is singular how people will flock to see a hang ing: or an electrocution. The life, of Ira Harrison went out last Friday and the hai'rible sight was witnessed by as many persons as could get in side the death chamber, and a throng on the outside. After the lethal current had taken the boy's life there was a lot of discussion as to whether or not he was conscious when he went to the chair. Dr. J. U. Dprham, who has had varied experiences in his lifetime, stated that he had witnessed eight legal executions in one day, and that the sight had sickened him so that he could not endure another. Eight in one day is somewhat of a record, and he was asked for more particulars. "Well, I was lieutenant of the Butler Guards in Greenville and was in charge of the company in the absence of the captain. On the day of the execution I was detailed around the gallows with my men. The trap was sprung for five men at one time and three men at the next! time. I tell you it was a scene that | I never wish to witness again." Dr. Durham, was one of the town council of Kershaw when the man Morrison was lynched by a mob some years ago. He fought for the cus tody of the prisoner and had him safely in the lock-up, but the mad dened crowd came back and took Morrison and lynched him before Sheriff Hunter could get there. As a reward for his plans Dr. Durham was afterwards arrested* in Atlanta, Ga., for having taken part in the mob, when he was trying to preserve order*. Colored Woman Dead. Amanda " Smyrl, a well known col ored woman, of thys city, died at her home near N the .Seaboard passenger station on Thursday of last week. , She was the widow of Ned Smyrl who predeceased her by several years.

Preliminary surveys are m prog-1 rejs looking to the extension of the' Catawba Valley railroad from Great Falls to Rocky Creek, a distance of 3 1-2 miles. There is talk of some day carrying the line on to Camden. Mrs." Mary B. Ford was freed by a jury ?t Detroit, Mich., Tuesday night on m - tharge of conspiring to kfH h*r husband, a wefflThy farmer.
