HE WILL TELL HIS STORY IN COURT "Preacher" Jones Still Hopes for His Life Has PREACHER'S ONE WISH IS FOR A "GOOD TODY" The Alleged Murderer It the Soundest Sleeper In Jail Has Become Talkative Among Fellow FrlBoneis. "Preacher" Jones, the man who is now in Wake jail charged with the horrible murder of a woman and her daughter with an axe. and of burning to death the bodies of his two vic ims and four children alive, realizes the terribleness of his crime, but Indies for his life. He does not expect to be set free, but lie has hopes that the State prison may be his future home. He had until this morning an idea that he would not have counsel to de fend him at his trial, which, it is ex pected, will come up either Monday or Tuesday morning of next ween. "How arc you getting along?" he was asked this morning. "I'm getting on alright, under the circumstances." said the prisoner. "Do you get everything you wish'.1" "Yes. sir, there aint nothing I want that. I don't get except a toddy," re plied the erstwhile preacher. Tom Jones, for that is the negro's real name, the title "Preacher" hav ing been given biin on account of the religious services that he hns been ac customed to holding from time to time at his former home, hopes that he will be. given a lawyer who will take up his case with hopes of win ning, lie says that if he is allowed a lawyer Me will then know- how Ki proceed, lull that now he does not wish to speak on the subject of tli- criiuc. believing, anil rigntiy. inai n is best for him to wait until court. He will lell his story in court; This is known to be true, or at least to be his present intention, for he be lieves that, a confession, if he com mitted the clinic, would cause- the court to be more leniently inclined. Since his coiiliiienient he has be come., communicative, but the officers of the county and the keeper of the jail, Mr. Vnrluini. do not have any thing to suy to lii lit that will in any way draw him out on the subject of the murders. He is more talkative than usual today and his fellow pris oners have become on intimate terms with the alleged murderer. A singular fact it is that the mur derer is the "king bee" nmong the prisoners anil they look to him for his I opinion on all subjects that arise dti!' ing the cliatteriugs of the jail birds. lie is asked first w hen any "jail eour I tesv" is extended and his inovenien's arc watched with the sainc interesl as if he was an animal in a menagerie. .lones is pleased with the jail.

His cell is kept dark by a blanket that is hung up over the iron lattice work and his cot is placed near to that end of the cell, that he may lie ns far from the cell doc; as possible. He '.poh'e on v once last niirht .1' out his former home, telling to his fellow prisoners a story about some event of greater or less importance in (iarner. lie is waiting anxiously for court to convene, lie wishes it to come nt once, though from his talk to outsid ers he nnpears totally indifferent. What lie will say in court is kuovvi almost to n certainty. He will make the statement soon after he is taken before the court, if he is allowed to follow his present plans. What he will say will be an earnest appeal for mercy. v In the pail with "Preacher" .lones arc thirty one other prisoners, their crimes ranging in seriousness from petty larceny and assault with iron pokers to murder. Of the other pris oners, six are colored women who are charged with minor offenses anil twenty-five are men, of whom about half a dozen are white. llU.IXF.n OI'KNIMi.

Five vears mro Dezern was sen tenced to twenty-the years in the pen itentiary from Orange county. The charge against him was that of bur glary and the jury convicted him of the crime of second degree burglary.

OLDS, Secretary, MAY BE SENSATION IN INVESTIGATION Water Co. May Have Something Up Their Sleeve THEY MAY CHARGU THE FIREMEN AS AT FAULT However, Some Believe Antagonizing the Firemen Would be to Detri ment of Water Company's Cause. ': It was slated this morning thai the meetings of the special committee of the Board of Aldermen to investigate the re- port of the Chief of the Fire Department i roffarlinir Ihn ulinnlv nf l'ntfF at the TC- ' regarding the supply of water at the re cent lire may bring out some sensational charges frm the Water Company against tile Fire Department. Such an outcome has been hinted at by ome people for a week or so past and now, it is said, the making of iho charges are being con sidered by some one interested In the Water Company and who believes that in stead of attempting to make any state ment excusing the company for any fail ure on its part, it is the duty of the Water Company to mnke au exposure of an alleged shortcoming on the part of the firemen who were engaged In the work of fighting the flames. This has been hinted at and the reason for the rumor floating about is hased on a remark attributed to one of the at torneys ot the Water Company. The re mark is supposed to have been made during his argument before the Jury dur ing the trial of the suit brought by Mr. I C. F. Sowers against the Water company when damages were recovered from the company. Just what wass aid by The attorney seems to be a question among those who have discussed the mailer, but it is gen erally conceded that he remarked in his discourse before the jury that there was no reason for the charges that bad re cently been made, that the Water Com pany was fulfilling its duty and that there was renson to believe and it could be 1 proven that there was serious fault lu the management of tho work of fighting fire. ! I Some one intimated that the firemen had failed to turn on the full stream and in their excitement and haste hud neg lected to look after the hydrant ends or the hose. This was denied by members of the fire companies and'the charge has not been openly tluunted since then. The meeting Monday night will have two important features. The presenta tion ol the report or the Assistant Chiet or the Fire Department. Mr. Walter Woollcott. on the recent test made at Nash Square, and the explanation by tho Chief of the Department. Mr. L. A. Mah ler, of his report which was presented at the last meeting of the Board of Alder men and which resulted in the ordering of the investigation. The committee, it is said, will ask Mr. Mahler for particu lars and will have a stenographer to tako the testimony that Is offered by the Chief of the Department and by the firemen who are summoned. The committee announces that the meeting Monday evening is solely for the purpose of taking testimony from those utslde the Water Company and that another meeting will be held later for Ihe purpose of receiving testimony or any statement that may be made by the Water Company or any representative of the company. It is at this meeing that rumor says a sensation will be sprung, but there are authorities who say that this rumor has foundation, but that the idea of making charges against any one lias been abandoned. The Water Com nanv. they state, feels confident that nothing can be found that will go to show neglect of duty on their part and that any offensive procedure on the part, of the company would be detrimental to their cause. They say that the company has no ill reeling toward anyone and that all it desires is tair treatment and au unprejudiced consideration of the facts. LI El TENANT BUOl'UHTOX JH'.WE.

TRINITY SHUT OCT. The Trinity bail team has met Its Waterloo in the first game of the season yesterday afternoon. The Homer school team shut out the Methodist boys and ar the same time piled up a score of eight points, says the Durham Herald today. The game was called at 3:l!fl o'clock and a medium sized crowd took advantage of the beautiful weather and went out to witness the game. It was one-sided from the start, and while the home rooters tried to rush life into the game from time to time the Trinity team could not get enough snap and vim into their work tp be of any service The visitors had a strong team, and Kenna, the pitcher, assisted by Oldham, the catcher, did some exceptionally clever work. The Trinity team was not out in full strength and will play some interest ing ball before the season Is over. Mr. L. C. Weathers, of the Southern Wall .Paper Company has just return ed from Salisbury and other points where he decorated a number of re iilenees. TUESDAY NIGHT'S MEETING". What Someof Raleighs Safest Business Men Say Great Interest is being manifested la the mass meeting to be held in Metropoli tan Hull on next Tuesday night, and many citizens are discussing the sul). Ject. On the streets many gentlemen have expressed their intention to attend the meeting and are urging others to do all in their power to have a goodly gath ering present. Speaking or the mailer one gentleman said today that he felt confident that there would be an immense crowd pres ent, and that some decisive step would be taken that would assure the election of an auditorium in Raleigh. Among some of the expressions heard by a representative of the Times-Visiior were the following: Walter Woollcott. The auditorium Is a necessity. Every Business man, clerlt, mechanic or laborer should he at the meeting Tuesday night. All pull together and we can get it. J. C. L. Harris. SV should certainly have a building for ihe accommodation of tht, StiUe Conventions of the various po lill..nl ......it.... ..II r lii. ..I , .. litical parlies and all of like character that seek to hold their sessions at the Capital of their State. 1'nlcws this is provided the conreations will go else where to thfj serious detriment of the city. The meeting should tie well attend ed and citizens should make this a com mon cause in ordi r to provide such a building. W. W. Vass. I would like to sec an au ditorium in Raleigh. If built, at all It. must come from popular subscription, as there is little inducement in it for private enterprise. I believe it will come. It must come, unless Raleigh is to take a backward step. The meeting Tuesday night should mark the beginning of an era of permanent co-operation among the business men of Raleigh for the upbuild ing of the town. H. S. Lcarcl I think there should be au auditorium by all means. From a rail road standpoint this is the logical plac for it. Raleigh is centrally located unit has the best railroad facilities. R. B. Raney. The Chamber should ap point a live committee to solicit subscrip tions to stock of a corporation to he or ganized for the purpose of building a handsome auditorium at once. The struc ture should contain stores ami offices, so as to make it a paying investment. The stockholders would have no difficulty in securing a suitable site. J. (i. Brown.-- Everyone is agreed that Raleigh must have an auditorium. The prompt action of the president of the Chamber of Commerce in calling the meeting is to be commended, and our business men biiould turn out en mussc and settle i lie question once and for all. Jar.. 1. Johnson The auditorium has become a ucce.sily. About the only cer tain way to get It is fm patriotic men to subscribe for stock. Tho meeting should be well attended. W. N. Jones. The citizens of the town should no longer delay about erecting the auditorium. It can be readily built if all business men will aid to a moderate extent. It. is not necessary to wait upon those who might give large amounts. The auditori um must be built, if at all, by the com bined efforts of the men of moderate means. If we have a full meeting on Tuesday night I have no doubt that an Impulse will be given to the movement, whicli will secure the auditorium. II. S. Jerman. It is a meeting of vital Importance to ihe city, and simuld be attended by every man who has the wel fure of the city at heart. Raleigh must have an auditorium. H. W. Jackson There ought to lie a liirge turn out of the citizens at this im portant meeting. C. C. McDonald. I think the movement a wise one, and if all those who had been shooting off llieir moulhl myself included! will take the same interest in an auditori um that they hail In against or for 111' sale of the market, there Is no question as to the result. As the matter is defin itely settled, it is time for all to get to gether and pall together, for "in union there is strength." Let us show by our acts that we are in earnest. C.OI1I) RESI LTS FROM ADVERT1S! X' Newspaper men arc always pleiocl in know that their customers have receivid a direct benefit from their advertisements. We feel confident that the advertising ril- uinns of The Times-Visitor are s t Ny a great, majority ot tho rending people of Raleigh and that a desirable article properly nresenled in its columns will have increased sale. This fact has been acknowledged by one of our advertisers, the Mechanics' and Investors' I'nlon, who placed a half page advertisement on lasl Saturday and having received so much benefit from it they have ordered it re produced. It can be seen on the tlvrd page ami will be found well worth read ing. The Secretary says that he wishes ev ery wage-earning man. woman and boy. also every wife and daughter In the city to have an opportunity to examine what he considers the best saving certificate i hat has over been offered. The company has employed Mr. James M. Rlggan as a special solicitor to canvass the city, and he reports satisfactory sales of the new certificate. Our readers no doubt remember that, this company was organized in Raleigh about six years ago by J. C. Drowry. J. S. Wynne, George Allen, B. S. Jerman and others as an Investment nud loan com pany. It has been very successful and has aided in the erectioubf a large num ber of dwellings. We are iuformed that they will begin to pay off their early stockholders in less than two years. Do you want to rent a house: if so, we have several very desirable ones: T'nrk Place, on Hloiint, Street, most fashionable part, of the city. Large roomy houses, gooil gnrden. Eight room house on Park Ave., brand new. Large shady yard, good garden and stables. Brand new live room cottage on Jones Street, near cotton platform.
