She Urges Him to "Confess to M.n" He Has Become a Holy Roll v er Conversion Not Thor- ough Other News. . ' The Dalle 8, Dr., July 22. Daniel Norman Williams has become a Holy Hollar. Through the efforts of Mrs. J. H.Cross.aprominent woman of that taith, the condemned man awaiting execution for the murder of Mrs. L. J. Nesbittand her daugh ter. Alma, has become a disciple of the doctrine made famous in Ore gon by Apostle ' "Joshua Creffield. And to Mrs. Cress, his religious tu tor, in his private cell, Williams has virtually confessed his crimes. The confession not complete. to prosperous grocer. Her dauguief is also a convert to the doctrines advocated by the peculiar sect. It was shortly after his trial and con viction that Mrs. Cross began to vieit Williams. " She was shown a little more consideration than oth ers who had called to see him by Williams on the occasion of her first visit. This woman look ' books and pamphlets dealing . with religious subjects to the condemned man, howevi r, and in these he soon be came much ioteretted. The result was that when she returned he .was in a more hospitable humor and the two had a lengthy conversation. Since then Mrs. Cross has called on Williams on an average ot twice a wetk. In fact, she is tbe 00 ly vis itor be has ever consented to re ceive. She soon began to urge him to accept salvation aod between her arguments and pondering over the religious works given him for peru fill Williams soon became mc&t pi ous in bis demeanor. One day last week, when he had t ad been exbottsd to embrace ' Mull and free ealvatfon" he broke (i wn and wept like a child, wrung o.a hands in anguish, Mrs. Cross rivs, and moaned. "Ob, I am an h ful guilty man. I have done H-me terrible things. But I have confessed it all to God.' I believe he will be merciful." . "Mr. Williams, a confession to God is necesaary," eaid Mrs. Cross, "but you should remember that no matter what yon have done, God knows all about it, anyhow. What he expects of you, in order to be convinced of your penitence, is that you confess before all men." - Williams staited to dry his tears and after a few sobs managed to control himself. He heaved several long sighs, opened bis mouth once or twice as if to speak, and then hung his head without saying any' thing. On being again urged to make a public confession he re plied: "I know that I am not saved. I know that I must do other things But wait. Many things may hap pen yet." Since his conversion Williams has appeared to be in fairly good spirits and eats and Bleeps well. He is not allowed the daily papers, by order of bhentt u. bexton, but is permitted to have a magazine occa sionally and all tbs religious books he wants. He will accept the lat ter class of literature from nobody but Mrs. Cross.' ' Armagh, Ireland, July 24.
