VOL. LIX "LOVED F.1Y BROTHER BUT HIS WIFE MORE" Arch Johnson Takes All Blame for the Murder i HE CONFESSES IN JAlL Arrested As Accomplice in XiUing His Brother Joe, He Admits That It Was all Planned by Himself i ' ' and Mrs. Johnson. Tarboro, N. C., July, 13. j"I am willing to take all the blame for.. the death of my brother if that will help her any, and if either of us has to die for the crime I want to be the one." The foregoing statement j was made this afternoon to your correspondent and Sheriff J. C. Crawford by Arch Johnson, in jail in Williamston, on a warrant charging him with being an accomplice before the fact in the case in which Mrs. Elizabeth Early John son stands charged with the murder of her husband, Joe Johnson, hear Oak City, in Martin county, on the evening of Saturday, July 4. j Johnson further stated that he would not deny any statement made by Mrs. Johnson relative to the killing and the part he played in it! Prior to this occasion Arch Johnson had re fused to make any statement other than that he knew nothing of the matter and that he had nothing to do with it, -:-.: . ... : V- : V "I loved my brother, but I loved his wife more, and it was because of this fact that I allowed myself to get into this scrape. I bought the pistol with which the killing was done and gave it to Mrs. Johnson on Saturday morn ing before the killing that night. I "I knew what she was going to do with it," he said at another time. Mrs. Johnson says that she and Arch Johnson planned the crime and that Arch' told her to throw the pistol to the side of the road so that he could get it next morning, j She says that he told her he would stick to her through it all and when told of his confession this afternoon stated that she was satisfied with it and that he was doing as he said he would, j ' "There is no use in our telling any more stories, she says', "ipr ; uoa knows the truth any how, and that's what counts. All that I can say is that it was love that brought us to this, for I loved Arch Johnson." Johnson broke down and wept bit terly as he told the story of" how he was implicated and said he did not want his folks to know about it. lie Is about 22 years old. Neither of the principals has as yet retained attorneys. Johnson will be given a preliminary hearing in the morning before Justice of the Peace Jm B. Wynn. I It will be recalled that Mrs. confessed some days ago that Johnson she shot her husband, though at that time she did not implicate any one. J Arch Johnson was arrested at his home near Oak City by Sheriff Craw ford and brought Tier e and placed in jail. EXCURSION TO ASHEVILLE, :3T. C.

CITY OF GOLDSBORO AUDIT Report of Certified Auditors : Shows Finances to Be in Excellent Condition. ; . Hilton, Rawlings & Company, Cer tified Public Accountants, of Norfolk, Va., who audited the books and rec ords of this city, made their report to the Board of Aldermen last night. The auditors were engaged primarily to check up the acounts of the former treasurer, Mr. H. C. Smith, and were later instructed to make a j general audit of the various city departments, including the Sinking Fund. I The report shows that all ; funds have been properly accounted for with the exception of a few compara tively small differences, but the system of accounting was ; criti cised as being crude and absolute ly inadequate to meet the requirements and properly protect the taxpayers interests. The affairs of the city have been economically administered, but the general fund income from taxation is not sufficient to meet the growing needs of the city. v f The fixed properties and permanent improvements as sLown by the report amount to $498,500.00 against which there is a bonded indebtedness of 411,000.00, which figures include the water department. I f : The Sinking Fund was examined from its inception a period of sixteen years. The balance in" the fund at this time for the retirement of bonds and payment of interest is $114,458.73. The amount required as computed by the auditors is $62,289.12, which shows a surplus of $47,308,51 after providing or Bond interest payments and earn- ogs of the fund to October 1, 1914 of $4,861.10. The auditors suggested pos sible adjustment in this fund whereby the tax rate for this amount could be reduced, '"'r ! I -. The records in the water department ore' found to be the most complete of 11 the departments and report that this department i3 mora than self-sus taining. The auditors recommended hat the water department be operated u a separate and distinct . basis from the other departments and pointed out that this method is being adopted ' the most progressive cities in the country. ' The accountants made suggestions and, submitted plan of new system which- was referred to the Finance Committee with power to let the con tract for records and to have the sys tem installed as soon as practicable. This system provides for daily rec ord of all " transactions in detail of every department which in time Is gathered into a general or controlling set of books whereby the true status of the city's affairs may be obtained at any time. I -. The auditors' report contained about 100 pages of comments and , financial statements and shows the city's affairs in fullest detail, and complimented -in highest terms the integrity and pru dence with which all the city's finan ces have been administered.

Minister Suarezoi Chile, one of the three mediators, anticipating the- re tirement of Huerta, sought in an in formal talk with Secretary Bryan to learn what the attitude of the United States would be toward the Carbajal government will not recognize Carba jal, Minister Suarez learned that it was not disinclined to treat informally with the new administration until transfer of power to the constiution- aljsts could be effected. General Carranza himself notified the United States through John - R. Silliman, formerly American consul at Saltillo and now personal represen tative of President Wilson. there, that only the unconditional surrender f the authorities at Mexico City would be accepted, Mr. Silliman in his report spoke In complimentary terms of Carranza, and said his recption by the constitution alist chief was most cordial. General Carranza explained why it would be impossible to hold reace parleys with Huerta delegates, and said all his gen erals had demanded that the plan of Guadaloupe, providing" that Carranza as president ad Interim take militar; possession of Mexico City, be carried out to the letter, Carranza assured the American rep resentative that the constitutionalist forces soon would enter Mexico City and maintain order - there.;. He also promised if the Huerta forces surren dered unconditionally he would give ample guarantee for the protection o. life and property. Officials here were greatly pleased at Carranza's friendliness toward the United States.

Another erup tlon in the political situation in the Tenth congressional district was'caus ed today Jn the publication of a story here o the effect that R. R. Reynolds, Democratic candidate for Congress had been sued by Mrs. L. K. Cameron of the Suyeta Park hotel, Waynesville for a delegation hotel bill alleged to have been made during the Waynes Ville convention the first part of June, The original bill was for. entertain ment of Reynolds delegates and amounted to over $1,000, of which $500 has been paid. The suit is for the re mainder. Mr. Reynolds brother and campaign manager, G. S. Reynolds, who attend ed to the detail of hotel accommoda tions, made the statement today that the suit is a "hold-up game and a dirty piece of politics" on the part of Congressman James M. Gudger, Jr., the other congressional candidate. He states that a number of delegates reg istered at the hotel, found they could not get accommodations, and went to the Gordon, neglecting to register off. He says the clerk at the hotel admits this, and that an amount that is equit able has been tendered the hotel in payment, which is still ready to be paid over. He makes the charge that the -suit was Instigated by Mr. Gudger and has been reliably informed that the latter dictated the complaint. Mr; Gudger is said to be in Waynes ville today and is expected to issue a reply tomorrow, although the natun of the reply is a matter of conjee ture. ; - Read A. A, Joseph's Ad in this Issue.
