SHE KILLED HIM
Mrs. Ellen Anderson Fired the Fatal
Shots
THE TRUTH OF C. T. WILLIAMS’DEATH
He Forced Hie Way Into Her Ro in and
the Shot Him
Down,
Yorkville, S. C. ,Nov. 10.—A great
sensation was sprung today by the
confession of Mrs. Ellen Anderson, on
trialasan accomplice to the murder
of Charles T. Williams, of Tunnel
Hill, Ga , for which Reese, Luckie and
Mrs. Anderson are being tried for
their lives.
Mrs. Anderson said today that she
is the slayer of Charles T. Williams.
She has just stated that Williams
came to her room on the night of the
6th of February and forced an admis
sion. With a revolver in her hand
she ordered him to leave She fol
lowed him out of the room and fired
three shots to scare him. At the time
was not aware that she was even shoot
ing in his direction and got the first
intimation of the killing at 12 o’clock
that night. She is now being sub
jected to a most rigid examination.
The confession cime like a bombshell.
Only yesterday her attorneys declared
that the evidence failed to implicate her.
It was in evidence that Williams and
Mrs. Anderson corresponded, and letters
from the woman to Williams were read
in court showing chat the two were on
intimate and criminal relations, Reese
was visiting the woman and the testi
mony so far has been exceptionally crim
inating, both against Reese and Luckie,
one witness testifying that they were
seen to run from the scene of the tragedy
to the home of Mrs. Anderson.
What effect the confession of Mrs. An
derson will have is not yet determined.
There is great excitement here and the
courtroom this afternoon is crowded al
most to suffocation. Mrs. Anderson is
going through the ordeal with remark
able nerve and has given no evidence of
emotion or a collapse.

Yesterday Rounsaville and others
appeared through their attorneys be

injunction and the appointment of a
receiver in the case against Bunn

The petitioners prayed for an in

It was agreed by the attorneys, how
ever, to allow the hearing of the case to

Judge Henry remarked that he never

Katinas I’opulHt..« Are Scheming.
Kansas City, Nov. 10.—When the
Kansas legislature convenes this winter
the first thing on the program aftfr the
election of a United States senator to
succeed Peffer, is to pusli a congres
sional district reapportionment through.
The plan of the Democratic-Populist
members who will control the legisla
ture, is to divide the state into eight
districts instead of seven as at present,
and to so arrange the districts as to
make seven of them safely Populist.
Far-sighted politicians see in this an
opportunity of electing a populist sena
tor to succeed Lucien Baker, thus gain
ing both members of the. senate and all
but one of the congressmen. The bill is
said to now be in course of construction.

ballots Monday night, the vote
Tuesday was a mere formality
gone through with to comply with the
law. The Democrats scattered their
ballots, as iu the caucus. The Populist
minority voted for General William

no choice. The Democratic caucus re

Last Tuesday night eight years ago
The Spectator in company with a half
dozen others were sitting in Henry
Grady’s private office up in the Consti
tution building watching the returns
thrown over on the Adair Brothers
ware house from the floor below us.
About 9 o’clock Mr. Grady came in
and was handed a telegram by Jim
Holliday his private secretary, from
Clark Howell who was in New York.
Mr. Grady opened it threw his left
leg diagonally across the corner of the
desk, turned the telegram face down
on the desk covering it with the palm
of hie left hand and remarked to us,
“boys the jig’s up, here’s a wire from
Cl irk who says so and that he will
leave tonight for home.” We all
crowded around aud examined the
message. Mr. Grady turned to his
secretary and said, “Jim take the fol
io wing,viz:,* We have pasted the follow
ing over the mouth of the Constitu
tion’s little red cannon, “A charge to
keeplhave,’” with that Mr. Grady
buttoned up his top coat turned up
its collar and went out and down the
.elevator.
The cannon had been brought in
from the Chataugua at Austell to- be
fired in case of Cleveland’s election.
Speaking of Mr. Grady, it reminds
me that for several years I was asso
ciated with the late Colonel Chas. I.
Graves in the service of the East Ten
nessee Virginia and Georgia Railway
and there I learned to love him and
to always seek his company when the
opportunity offered. It was his travels
and extraordinary conversational
qualities that tempted Henry Grady
to make a trip at sea. Grady wrote to
the old Rome Courier the following:
Philadelphia, Feb. 20,1876.-The ocean
is a greatly exaggerated affair. Abou t
four years ago, my friepd Charles
I. Graves and myself were sitting
on a country fence in Floyd county,
after the manner of lizards, drinking
in the sunshine, when a wagon con
taining a small box wheeled past us.
It had hardly got abreast us when my
friend dropped from his comfortalbe
perch as if he were shot, and rushed
to the wagon. Then ensued a remark
able scene. You have all seen a well
bred country dog meet a city dog on
some green highway. You know with
what hurried circumspection he smells
the stranger at all points. So did my
friend approach the little square box
on the wagon. He sfiiffed at it as if
“he would draw his soul through his
nose.” I examined the ugly little box
closely. It was marked
To Mr. Berckmans,
Mont Alto, Near Rome,
Ga., U. S. A.
It was Rhenish wine shipped from
Paris.
My friend explained to me, after his
rhapsody was over, that the box hav
ing been brought across the ocean in
t ie hold of a steamer, retained a sub
tie scent of bilge-water, that brought
the sea with all its dangerous fascina
tion back to him—he having served all
his young life before the mast. He
was, at this writing, a plain, staid
farmer, content among his cattle and
clover. And yet that sharp, briny,
saline flavor, thrown on the bosom of
the still country breeze, put a restless
devil in his breast. It was as if a born
gallant, exiled for a decade to the
heart of some desert, should, near the
expiration of his sentence, stumble
upon a cambric handkerchief, redo
lent with the perfumeof a lady’s bou
doir. In less than two years after the
sight or rather the smell of that box
my friend had sold his plantation,
convinced his wife, and gone to the
ocean again. Had Dr. Berckmans
been content to drink native wine.
Mr. Graves would yet be alternating
cotton with clover, in the peaceful
valley of the Etowah.
After this strong proof of the fasci
nation that the sea has for its votaries,
I achieved a strong desire to cry it for
myself. It renewed in my mature days
the wild ambition that put turmoil
into my schoolboy life, after I had
read “Lafitte, or the Pirate of the
Gulf.’’
1 have longed for many a day to
run a “gore” into each leg of my pan
taloons, roll back my collar, tousle my
hair, fold my cloak about my shor.l
ders, and stand before the mast in a
stiff breeze, and there read Byron
with one eye, and with the other
watch the effect of the tableau on Ihe
female passengers.
1 never had a chance to gratify the
desire until lately. I never saw the
ocean until the trip that results in this
letter; I shall never forget the impres
sion it made on me.”
