WOMAN CHARGES
MURDER TO HUSBAND!

to nee the city editor.
When she had seated herself she
said:
“My husband Is a murderer. I want
you to put It In the paper. He has
driven me away from home, and I want
the people to know that he murdered a
convict In South Carolina seven years
ago.”
Sho spoke, without a trace of emo
tion, In a matter-of-fact voice.
"He left me Tuesday,” sho contin
ued, "and went to the home of his
mother, In Cobb county. They tell me
he Is now living In DoKalb county.
"My name (s Katie Jackson. My
husband’s name Is Andrew Jackson.
I was a Doyle before I married, and
lived In Fulton county.
*’J married him sevetj years ago.
\1).,ui tw<« w-i-ks nfi*»r w«» wore mar
ried he told me one night:
•' ” ’If anybody comes here and asks
for Andrew Jackson, you tell ’em he
don't live, here.'
“What no said worried me a whole
Idt, and I kept after him. After n while
he told me he had killed a convict In
South Cirnllna. He said the detectives
got after him nnd he ran away. Then
they almost caught him nnd he knocked
onfc off n, trestle and got nwny.
"When he ran away Tuesday he took
his three children with him and left
our two children with me.
"Since he has deserted me I want the
people to know that he Is a murderer,"
she said In conclusion.
Her voice had never varied, had nev
er Indicated the slightest of feeling. In
her dull, leaden, lifeless eyes there was
something strange, eerie, uncanny.
But ns she walked out she began to
cry softly. ,
SHE JOURNEYS TO SEE
SHERIFF OF DeKALB.
It was suggested to her that she
toll him what sho had Just related.
She saw Sheriff Reagan Tuesday.
Her story was exactly what she had
said In the office of The Georgian. Sho
said she could give no particulars of
her husband’s alleged crime; that sho
knew something more, but would not
tell unless she were forced to; In an
swering questions as to her own life
ond relatives, sho frequently contra
dicted previous statements.
Hherlff Reagan Investigated the mat
ter carefully. Ho found that Jackson
bore an excellent reputation ns a farm
er, although he Is poor and has never
risen above the estate of renter. John
Leach, of DeKalb county, for whom,
Jackson has worked for years, says
he Is a square, straightforward fel
low', nnd that while he cannot testify
as to Jackson’s whereabouts seven
years ago, he believes tho wife’s
charges to be unfounded.
Jackson said he could not under
stand why his wife should make such
a chnfge. Ho said she lmd left his
home a week ago, taking with her
their two children. He said that sev
eral times before she had left home,
but that she had always returned lift-
er a while. He ventured no opinion
as to her motives.
18 IT AN HALLUCINATION
OR MOVE FOR REVENGE?
Unless further evidence Is secured
or something Is heard from South
Carolina In substantiation of her
charges, Mrs. Jackson's husband will
never face this charge of murder in a
court.
Mrs. Jackson’s story either develops
a clew to what would become ono of
Houth, or else she Is tho victim of an
hallucination.
Or Is she seeking revenge for some
real or fancied wrong?
"f think she’s a little bit off," said
Sheriff Reagan.
