A dispatch from Hinesvlle, Ga., says Mrs. Helen Faulllng, widow of slain William N. Faulllng, Jr., for whose murder Charles A. Gordon is on trial at that place. Wednesday on the witness stand made a sensa tional confession of Intimacy with -Gordon and ended her story by de claring that he told her he killed her husband and threatened to kill her If she should tell on him. The confession was unexpected to the big crowd in the court room, though many believed to be true Just what Mrs. Faulllng declared is true. “I am confessing because I don't want to go to Heaven or hell with a He on my lips,” wailed the unhappy woman through her tears at the end Npf her sordid narrative. i ln part her confession follows, and Ince it has been made it is believed Gordon's trial will end In rather short order. “The last time I sew my hus band alive,” said Mfs. Faulting, “was on March 26, 1909, when he left our home about sundown to mail a letter to his father at Monck's Cor ner, S. C. "I met Mr. Gordon in Florida and have known him three years. My hus band and I moved to several places In Florida, and each time Mr. Gor don moved also. We first became intimate at Loftman, Fla. Our meet ings continued up to the time of his arrest. The night lefore the officers came for Mr. Gordon, he spent with me. "My husband left at sundown and at eupper time he had not returned and so several friends had supper with msyand we did not wait for him. Just before we finished sup per Mr. Gordon came in and, calling me aside said: I have done it. I have killed the d—.’ “I was very much frightened and nearly Cainted, but Mr. Gordon caught me and told me to be calm as he was not afraid. He then tried to get me to go and help him bury the body, but I refused. 80 he left the house and returned In about an hour, telling me he had burled the body. He said he had had a great deal of trouble taking the body to the place as it was so stiff. “Mr. Gordon told me that la?t night that If 1 told he would kill me within the next twenty-four hours. That was the reason for my silence. Since he has been in jail he has writ ten me a letter trying to concoct a scheme to prove an alibi for him Gordou Convicted. A later dispatch says for the mur der of William F. Faulllng. Jr., at Walthourville, Liberty county, Ga., Charles A Gordon has been found guilty and sentenced to life imprison ment. Mrs. Helen Faulllng, wife of the slain man and confessed cause of the murder, was tried as a result of her confession of intimacy with COOK GOT THERE WHITNEY SAYS SO AND TELLS OF PEARY’S LITTLENESS. _ 8»ys Pe«ry Made Him Separate All of Cook’s Luggage From His and Leave U Behind. ' ^ ~Hifrf WWtw. of New Haven. Tonn., has arrived at St. John’s. N. A m TIie 1U Into the Hotel Room Occupied by Conn. F. He says be believes that Dr. Frederick A. Cook found the pole and that Commander Peary did the same. In expressing this belief Mr. Whitney said that he knows no rea son for doubting Cook more than Peary. “Dr. Cook's story,” he added, “seems to me truthful and probable. Nothing else would expalln his 12 months’ absence.” Dr. Cook left with him at Annatok several cases containing instruments, and some belonging®, but ao far as Mr. Whitney knew; no written rec ords. There may have been records, however, packed with Dr. Cook’s per sonal effects, but the itro wlioie matter is without parallel not twli him fhat ne was j n the history of the courts of this not tel] hipi fisprclaHy fhat he was leaving written records In his pos session. Speaking of Dr. Cook's detailed account of his trip to tbs pole, Mr .Vhltney said that the explorer show ed him how the western drift of ths Ice had landed him in a region far remote from where he expected to .and he was unable to get back. He could not speak with authority as to whethfr Dr. Cook and his two Eskimos could carry on their three sledges enough food for their Jour ney to the pole, as he hlmsslf Is a novice in Arctlce traveling. He declared he knew* nothing Of the controversy beyond the vaguest de tails. The first he learned of it was at Indian Harbor, when he received messages from several American pa pers asking for a statement. Mr. Whitney denied that Com mander Peary had removed Dr. Cook's stores from Annatok to Etah What Peary really did was to trans fer a few things and rebuild the house at Annatok. Boatswain Mur phy's only reason for refusing to help Capt. Bernier's Canadian expe dition to get doga and sledges at Etah was that they were short of dogs themselves. Mr. Whitney had troub le In getting enough dogs for his teams all through the winter and Murphy was looking out for Peary, so that he would have sufficient logs for the commander s exploring trips around the country when he returned from the north. The day the Roosevelt was leav ing Etah for home Whitney inform ed Peary that Cook had Intrusted to him certain belongings to bring home on the vestel that was coming up for Whitney, hut as this ship had no» arrived Whitney was at a loss wha' to do with the property. Peary declined to permit Dr Cook's belongings to be brought altoard the Roosevelt and he put Whitney on his honor not^to Include anything belonging to Dr. Cook in hU own luggage. Whitney thereup on went ashore from the Roosevelt, separated Dr. Cook's property from bis own baggage, and with the aid of Capt. Robert Bartlett, commandet f the Roosevelt, whom he had ask ed to help, repacked Cook’s proper ly In boxes. After this had been done.

TRIAL OF BLACK SaMcdy EiM by Js4ct Crierinf i Mistrial JURY READ A NEWSPAYER Jurors, and One Member Talked Through a Window to One of His Employes. The State of Saturday morning gave the following story of the trial of John Black, which was brought to an unexpected and sensational termination Friday: Judge Mem- minger directed “mistrial” to be written on the record on account of Jurors haring a newspaper contain ing matter relatlof . U tn» State. One of the Jprors, J. D. Perry, had had verbal communication with the clerk in his meat market, C. M. Dorn, and the latter bad been tr eated and put in (be county Jail. When court assembled Friday morn ing, Judge Memmlnger made an of ficial Inquiry Into the matter. He bad questioned Perry and Sessions, another juror, and was making In quiries of the foreman, J. David, when It was brought out lu the most unemotional way that a copy of The State had been read by the Jurors In the rooms In which they were lock ed up Wednesday night to keep them from reading newspapers and other wise receiving information from the outside world. Judge Memmlnger was dumbfouud- - *. He had asked the question In an apparently perfunctory manner, and the reply was entirely unexpected. Mr. David was unable to tell much about the newspaper matter and Judge Memmlnger had every juror brought Into the court room sep arately and put through a search ing examination. It was flearned ;tbat The State of that morning contained extracts from other papers making caustic reference to the Jury which liberated J. S. Farnum, and there were also pointed comments in thes editorial columns of The State. The head lines over the articles detailing the trial of John Black were also refer red to. Judge Memmlnger ordered the Jury discharged without pay and he held In custody J. D. Perry and C M. Dorn until It could be determin ed what to do with them. Later they were discharged from custody, but were ordered to be within call of the court at any time, for Judge Mim- mlnger will be In Columbia next week in the civil court and will then announce his decision. The trial of John Black, charged with bribery, etc., was thus for the present brought to a conclusion. The effect of Judge Memmlnger’s action will merely mean another tri al. There was speculation as to whether or not it would not be tanta mount to an acquittal, techically, but Attorney General Lyon said that the horn books of the law show that directing a “mistrial” in an emer gency of this kind does not mean that defendant has bad bis liberty Aldrich <rr» ^ij e j U rv, for neiis NiidfliD ern been brought bat abow that tBw has been any oorrapUon among you. but there has been eerloue Indiscre tion, and the Indiscretion to each that if a verdict of guilty were rendered in the case, under the authorities, the defendant would be entitled to a new trial. "I have to look at both sidee of a .case, and 1 must look from the standpoint of the State as well as that of the defendant. If 1 allow the case to go to you;- with theee matters before me, as have been brought out, the State would have no redress whatever, If you find a verdict of not guilty. The only thing I see to do to to order a mistrial of the cose. .- “I am extremely sorry that this thing should have happened, that you should have been guilty of this in discretion. Every precaution was taken to see that you should be sur rounded and protected from outside influence, and that you should have every possible comfort while In at tendance on this case. It appears from what moat of you have said that you fully realize that you ought not to be reading a newspaper In the jury room pertaining to the case, --- 1! you had proper realization of your responsibility, ae you ought to have had, as soon as it was brought to ths attsntion of any of ths Jury that a newspaper was In thers it should havs been reported at onot to the sheriff; that would have giv en encouragement to the belief that you did realise ths responsibility which is upon you as jurors; hut none of you did that; ths foreman did not communicate it to me. "It is also on account of the In cident which occurred last night, which i doubt if It be sny more than an inuiscreciou ou the pan o> the juror and on the part of tht roung man who had the conversation with him, but that in combination with the other matter, your having had access to a newspaper and read log the newspaper in your room, an_ notwithstanding the strict guar, kept over you, these combination, would tend to cast suspicion on any verdict you might render, and It would not be satisfactory to anybody to have a verdict from the Jury when this sort of things has happened. “Now as to what I shall do to you this is a matter, gentlemen, that 1 will have to decide; it Is a respon sibility cast upon me. I have no hesitancy in knowing what to do with respect to the man who commu nicated with the Juror and I shall hold him and put punishment upon him for contempt of this court, and as to the Juror who allowed hlmseli to be communicated with, who act ually did not resent the communica tion from the 'outside, but actualb condoned that communication by im mediately sending out a communica tion to the ballff, which was brought to me, asking that the man be let out on bond instead of resenting that communication. Interference or con versation with anybody from the out side, which nsdoubtedly subjects the juror to serious criticism. “As to that Juror I will ask him to remain in the custody of the court I will make up my mind later In 'he day the proper course to be pur sued with reference to him. As tf the other Jurors. I am going to dis charge you gentlemen, am going t< let you go and withhold your pay certificates until I think about thl. matter seriously and earnestly, with a strict regard to what I ought U do in discharging my duty to the peo pie of South Carolina lu this mat ter. You all can go, with the ex ception of Mr. Perry, who had the communication; you will not get your pay certificates at the present. I will detwmine later on what course t^.what shall rtHfrwft.

A large crowd was gathering in this city yesterday for Taft Day and the governor ordered the dispensaries to close for two days. Along about this time Benjamin R. Tillman hit the town. He had run over from Trenton, his home, to get two bottles of champagne. He was going to have company at home and he wanted the champagne badly. He tried two or three disi>ensaries, but they were closed. Then the sen ator hustled up to the governor's office and appealed to his private sec retary. The secretary allowed there was nothing he could do. “Well, couldn't I get two bottles on a doctor's prescription?” begged the senator. The secretary said the only way would be for the senator; to find some friend and perhaps this friend would give him two bottles. It would be against the lav for him to (fell them. For the senator to look for a champagne cellar friend in Co lumbia was a hopeless proposition.

The men saved arj Julius Meyir, the Captain, and six seamen. They are now in the ca*e of the Norwegian consul In Phila delphia. A_ thrilling etoiT of shipwreck In which every one was for hlMnelf. to told by the men. in English that could scarcely be understood. They said the Gere, which left Philadelphia with a crew of fifteen and a cargo of coal for Sagua La Grande, Cuba, encountered rough weather after passing out the* Dela ware Capes. Off the Winter Quarter Lightship when only three men were on deck, an unuaually heavy tea struck tbe steamer and It keeled over at a dang erous angle. She was repeatedly struck by high waves aod finally wem over on her side. In the meantime the other members of the crew came on deck and taking In the situa tion secured life belts. Nothing could be done to right the vessel and as she was rapidly aettling the crew looked about for safety. The only boat had been swept from the davits and was floating away. Therefore there was nothing for the men to do but to Jump into the sea. All of them managed to find tim ber or other floating objects from tbe ship which went to the bottom vtthln three minutes, and tbe atrong- °r swimmers struck out for the drift ing boat. The little craft was float ing bottom up, and after a trying time the boat was righted and an attempt made to clear It of water. Enough was gotten out after a two hours struggle to put two men in it and with the aid of their hands and a pair of marine glasses they scooped enough water out to permit others to climb In. Meanwhile the weakeat of the swimmers and two that could not swim went down, one by one. When the water was Anally out of the >>oat, the last remaining man clinging to It wae hauled in and it was found that eight men were mlae- Ing. They floated before the wind until 4:30 p. m., when they sighted the Winter Quarter Lightship. The little craft had no oars but the ship wrecked men guided the boat as best they could, and soon came near enough to the ship to be taken on )>oard by the lone.ly sentinels of the sea who spend their life on her. Members of the crew say the cap tain and chief engineer were the last to leave the ship. The engineer, H H. N’llson, was drowned. The rapidity with which the Gere sank Is believed to have been due to an unusually heavy load of coal, which Is dead weight. Although ths Gere was only 4 20 tons burden, she sailed from port with 800 tons of coal and was commented on as she passed down the Delaware river, that .4 onlv about nluu Inches of At many points In the South on Monday, but especially at Baltimore, the chief city of hte native State, in New Orleans, where bo to greatly beloved, at Mobile and Montgomery, in the State of kto adoption, and sev- aral other placet, honor wns paid to Admlrel Raphael Semmee.
