EAWIIENCKVILLE, GA.
Wednesday, April 17, 1872.
Macon & Knoxville It. It.
We publish this week notice of
au address to Ik* delivered in Law
rencevijle, on Thursday, by Col.
de Graffenreid, President of this
Road. We hope our citizens, both
in town and around in the coun
try, who feel an interest in this
great work, will turn out to bear
him. We have heretofore tried to
impress upon mvr readers the im
portanee of this Road to our coun
ty, and especially to our town, and
to the entire State. No argument
is necessary in this enlightened
day to satisfy every thinking man,
who will devote one hour’s serious
thought to the subject, that this is
all we need to make this section
of tlic Slate one of the most desir
able countries to live in beneath
the circuit of the sun.
Wc do not desire to add any
tiling more, except to say, tliat it
this Koad is built, and wo have
confidence that it will be done, at
no distant day, and vre fail to get
it, we may lay aside all hope of
ever living on a Railroad, unless
we more to it. Let us give Co!,
de Graffenreid and his company a
mi welcome, and every encour
agement in our power. Let him
feel that our people are relying oil
him and his company to speedily
put this Road in operation. So
far as the right of way is con
cerned, we have heretofore, in pub
lic meeting, pledged ourselves to give
them that. As to what the com
pany propose to do now, come and
hear for yourselves—the President
of the Road, who is better pre
pared to give you information on
the subject than anybody else, will
doubtless take pleasure in explain
ing the prospects, and what it is
necessary for us to do in order to
secure it.
Athens is moving in this mat
ter. She lias sent a delegation to
Macon, one ot whom, Mr. Phin
nz}', is, we believe, a Director of
the Georgia Railroad, to urge up
on this company the practicability
of abandoning the chartered route,
and uniting witli Athens to build
a main trunk Road to Knoxville.
Athens has lately secured the Ag
ricultural College, the location of
which lias been a fruitful source of
contention for the last twelve
months; and now, seeing there is
a probability of this Road being
built, she stretches out her arms
anxiously to secure its benefits.
We do not blame Athens. A
town which docs not look vigi.
lantly after its own interest, will
generally find its wants neglected.
We confess to some surprise, how
ever, when we see the Telegraph
and Messenger advocating this
new scheme —the fact that one of
its editors is an Athens man may
account for it. We apprehend it
will h«* found a dillicult undertak
ing to change the charter. We
have in the Legislature two able,
vigilant and energetic representa
tives, who will see to it that our
interest in this great enterprise is
not lost.
Agricultural College. —There is
:i considerable “war of words”
among the State press over the
disposition made by Gov. Smith
of the Land Script. Our speech
on this subject is a short one. If
it was necessary for the Governor
to act at once, in order to prevent
the donation from being forfeited,
then we approve Gov. Smith’s
action; it it was not, then we
think tlic Agricultural Convention
of the State ought to have been
allowed to control the matter.—
Let us sing the doxology.
“The Mountains in Labor.”—
Atlanta tiying to fiud a rnuu who
will go to the Legislature. No
sooner is a man’s name announced
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Captaiu Jackson,
than he rushes into print, before
tho announcement gets cold, to
•lecline the “honor.” A draft has
been proposed—the only objec
tion that could be urged to tliat
is, that it deprives the condemned
party of the privilege of ‘■‘declin
ing the honor.”
Mr. Wood’s Statement. —Wc
yield, a large amount of space this
week to Mr. Wood’s statement be
fore the Jury on tin; second trial.
We do this because he was well
and favorably known here, having
preached frequently hi our town
and at two other churches in the
county.
Statement of 31 j ram I>. Wood,
Before the Jargon his Second Trial
on the charge of Seduction of
Emma I. Chivers, at Dekalb Su
ptrior Court, biarch Term , 1872.
It is a soim e of satisfaction to me,
that i am able to make a statement
in this case; I was desirous of do
ing so on the former trial. I intend
to speak briefly as to the facts in the
case, with this assertion, that I do so
under a solemn sense of my accounta
bility to God and man. 1 never
seduced Kinuia I. Chivers. I never
in any single instance in all my life,
had any intercourse with her ; and
all the facts slater! as to such acts
made in this indictment, are entire
ly false.
In 1807, in July of that year, the
2d or 3d day, I came to Decatur to
take the Pastorale of the Presbyte
rian Church ; I was slightly acquaint
ed with Emma I. Chivers, from hav
ing met her in my mother's family;
I knew hardly anything of Emma
I. Chivers; I visited the family per
haps twice before June or July of
1807, in the regular course of min
istration as pastor.
At that time the school became
vacant; Mr Hunter, who had been
teaching went, away, and l was told
if 1 would take cliatg? of the school
it would he worth so much, if 1
could attend to the duties of the
school ami the pastorate of the
church, and 1 consented to take it.
Knowing that Mrs. Chivers had ren
dered considerable service ai d assis
tance during the war to my mother’s
family, I told Iter that as far as her
children were concerned, they should
have tuition without charge, if she
had two or three. She sent two. The
offer was not a peculiar one, it was
made to others.
During the first term of the school,
from—say Auarust 1807 to close of
the year—l noticed nothing pecu
liar about Emma. She was a con
stant attendant at the school, a very
good scholar, and I remember but
one thing, which was at the close of
the term, that in a Latin class com
posed of three porsons, Emma stood
third, the others being unusually
smart. Her mother came to me and
said that Emma was discouraged
about her Latin ;ai d was about to
give up in despair; I told her mother
I would assist her. Therefore, otto
e»eniug, in coming from Mr, Winns
I stopped at her mother’s house.
1 don’t remember the hour, whether
eight or ten o’clock ; don’t think it
was as late as ton. There was a
light in the room ; so I had reason
t* believe the family were up, and
she wanted me to assist her in her
lessons. I remember the very pas
sage I assisted her in translating. 1
had done so with other scholars,
when they asked me. I then went
homo, and I do most earnestly avow,
and solemnly slate, that there was
only one single instance besides that
in which I remember that 1 gave her
a private recitation, at my present
residence. All her other lessons
were heard in school. Further, as
as an act of kindness to her ami her
mother, Mr. Moore, of the firm of
Moore A Marsh, catne to me near the
depot, and told me that there were
reports about Emma to the effect
that her mother went off at night,
and allowed young men to stay will)
her too late. He said ho knew noth
ing that was actually wrong having
occured, hut the report is that yeung
men have been there too late at
night, without any light in the house.
1 told Mrs. Chivers of this, as a friend,
and as her minister; and warned her
to he mote circumspect, in regard
to her daughter, if these facts were
true, into which I did not inquire.
Now we come to the time of her
moving from tho house across the
railroad to tho Wadsworth house.
1 had nothing in the world to do
with that. Before my Maker 1 had
nothing to do with getting Emma to
llio Wadsworth house. When they
got there I visited there occasional
ly—more often than 1 had done be
fore and the time of assisting her
in Latin recitations was after Emma
came over there, that which 1 related
just now.
In regard to moving to my house,
I had nothing to do with that. My
own family knows it. My wife
knows it, and my children kown it
as far as they have heard it talked
about. The others know it positively.
My mother wanted Mrs. Olivers
to come over and cook, as she was
a white person, and responsible.
My mother’s health was poor, and
wanted her to assist in her family.
lat first opposed it. Mrs. Olivers
came over and said she would come
over in the day and cook, and go
back home at night.
There was talk about her leaving
her family alone. I told her she
must not stay at my house and leave
her home alone. That is the only
suggestion I made as to her moving
to my hwise. I did not make a
suggestion for her to move, but not
to leave her children. It having
been proposed by my mother
that Mis. Cbivers should move, I
agreed to it. My wife agreed to it.
1 spoke to persons of reports that
I had heard. I spoke to, and asked
Mr. Kirkpatrick, if these reports had
any foundation ; he said he heard of
them but did not know that they had
been investigated ; my remark to him
was : “well uot as to anything actual
ly ba«l, but only occasional indiscreet
behavior.” “Yes," he said, “it is as
to things actually Lad ; they had
been, but in a measure died ojt.”
After that I spoke to Mr. Robert
Davis, an Elder in my church, at a
meeting in August, 1868. I asked
him as to the character of the family 1
lie said, there might have beoft some
talk, but people hope for the best—-
that after the war all persons were
anxious to conceal and cover what
had been fhul and done during the
war, and that her daughter was a
smart girl, and lie hoped a good girl.
I conversed also with Charles Rams
peck, when in a buggy going to
Lawrcnceville on the same subject :
lie will remember the communica
tion. lie stated to me that there
was a young man by the name of
language about Emma, and that there
was a young lady in this place who
said something about her character,
but lie did not belive a word of it;
she was a perfect lady ; he was glad
she was going to my house, and
lioped I would try and protect and
lake care of her, and elevate her
character. I told him 1 certainly
should try to do so.
They then came to our house.
That is the history of it. They had
only been there a short time before
I iound all was not right. I have
never spoken against Mrs. Chivers,
or her daughter, even when 1 had
serious doubts about her conduct.
A gentleman came and asked me in
confidence if he should allow his
daughters to associate with her. I
told bim I knew nothing. I concealed
all I could. That gentleman was
R. W. Swan.
But 1 did not like Mrs. Chivers’
actions in my household. My wife
knows she tried to produce discord
in our family, between ncy mother
on one side, and my w ife and father.
It came to our knowledge that she
did do that ; that neither she nor
her children speak the truth, an in
stance of which 1 will not now stop
to relate; the only reason is, to spare
feelings, and not bring these things
to the public notice. My family
knows these things as well as I do,
and if allowed, could swear to them.
Tlie-e facts caused us to wish her
to leave the house.
Another circumstance; Emma
Chivers, on one occasion, had thrown
down a young lady, (who visited the
house), and exposed Her person. I
told her to stop. She did not do it.
She looked at me in anger. I said,
“while you are in my house you
must do as I say.” She said, “I can
leave it.” I said, “you must leave it
before night.” I told her mother un
less she could be in obedience, she
must leave. She afterwards came
and begged pardon, and I consen
ted to let them remain till the year
was ouL. As God knows, 1 was
g'ad when the time came for them
to leave.
Willi reference to matters in
the indictment, as to the lane, and
walking in the lane, I know nothing
of those circumstances. 1 did walk
with her one time home from the
schoolhouse. I think the reason of
that was we had an exhibition.—
I’arties went to practice for it. 1
went. She was one of these parties,
and her mother’s invariable request
to me was : “Mr. Wood, don’t let the
young men go with Emma,” and for
that reason, without asking her
especially to go home, I walked home
with her. She did not even take
my arm. That is the only occasion I
remember walking home or in the
street with her any way.
I did that same thing in another
case. Mr. Wilson's family lived
about a mile from the village.—
His daughter came to the school
house to practice for the exhibition.
I escorted her homo. Charles Ram
speck and Emma Chivers were along.
Cliarles and Emma went their wav
home; 1 never suspected any thing
wrong about it. That was the fact.
In regard to seduction at the house,
I know nothing about it. I will take
ray oath on it at any time. I knew
nolliiug about it. With the excep
tion of going to assist her in her
Latin, I know of no time that I went
to the house, except going early in
the evening in the way of visit, and
that very seldom.
1 did go to Atlanta about that
time, and previously, several times
came back at night. I can explain
it. It was in term time. I was
teaching school. Books had to be
bought for scholars when they came
in, as we had a regular set of books.
I was accustomed to go and buy
these hooks from Phillips dc Crew,
and bring them home when the pack
age was not too large, and have
them sent by train when too heavy
and myself coming home at night
because there was no train, sometimes
walking, so as to be home to school
in the morning
My family was always informed,
of my hnisness, and when I should,
come hack, frequently about 9 or 10
c’clock at night. Col. Gaudier is
acquainted with it, and he knows it.
That is all 1 know about going to
Atlanta and coming back.
In regard to my telling Emma
that I made seduction an object of
prayer, 1 will die with the assertion
on liiv lips, that I never said so. 1
never told her that I loved her better
than my wife. 1 always told her
that I loved my wife better than any
one in the world, if I told any one.
I know I told her. She has heard
me say it, as I have raid it in presence
of others. When my wife was sick
in 1869, one respectable Doctor —Dr.
Durham—heard me say it. There
was some danger of her life unless
, there should he relief ly medical
means. I sai 1 to him with tears:
“The child is nothing; a thousand
children are nothing; save mg wife.''
lhat was in 1869, six or eight -months
a'ter this witness said I toiil her my
wife would not live over two years.
In regard to the matter of con
geniality, it may he I have told her
our minds we. e congenial. I might
have told her so; but as to congenial*
i ity of heart or love. 1 never breathed
such a thing to her. I never tried
to wrong or injure her or her mother
in any way.
1 might peihaps be asked why she
should say all the e tilings. 1 fre
quently say 1 do not know. I have
j thought of a good many things
; My idea is that her mother formed an
intense hatred to me from things that
| took place at the house, and that
; Emma and her mother are capable of
any thing; and God knows I do not
say it in a spirit of uncliaritableness,
but simply in self defense, aud in an
swer to llieslatementsmaile by the wit
nesses. I say now, whatever may be
the issue of this whole matter, if the
I life of that child is spared, it will be
|my vindication. 1 know it is not my
child. 1 said il to her mother, when
I first heard of it. In the excite
ment of sudden passion, I told her
she lied when she said it; and I know
it is not my child.
As soon as I heard it I went to
Mrs Chiversand Emma. Mrs. Chiv
ers won Id not let me see her daugh
ter. She said she was sick. 1 told
her what my friends had told me
that her daughter had said ; lhat 1
had sent for her, and ruined her, and
other stories, and that I had heard
two or three stories. Mis. Chivers’
reply to me was that none but some
ladies knew these things, and were
under a solemn oath not to mention
it. I said to Mrs. Chivers, “you know
| that Stone can he father of her child
•s soon as 1 can.” She never thought
anything of the kind, but that Em
ma was not in ben ight mind. When
she was iu her right mind she would
let me know, and 1 could have a con
versation with her. She said, in the
meantime, her daughter could not be
spoken to by me, or any one, on the
subject.
There is no member of my family
believes that lam guilty. My wife
said when this matter came up : “Of
all the women in this Stale, Emma
1. Chivers is the last l should have
thought would have attracted you, Mr.
Wood.” She had no jealous feelings
towards or in regard to Emma Cniv
ers at all, aud she knows of behaviour
on Emma’s part; if she could testify,
she could prove an alibi, on some in
stances to which the witness testified
against me. She would take her
oath, that whlh I slept iu the study,
from what circumstances might occur
in my family, I always had the door
open. It was never shut. It was
impossible for her to come there
without my wife knowing it. She
would testify in reference to the room.
There is but a Hour. My wife can
hear the moving of a chair from
below, or any confusion, as the door
from the room opens on the back
piazza. From there into the house
an! into her room was my usual
way, and slio never went to sleep
tiil 1 came down. Wo frequently
conversed between the room below
and my study. My wife would say :
on must come down for I want to
go to sleep.” 1 would shut the door
aud go down. When the giri says 1
was with her, my wife knows I was
not. 1 say 1 never had carnal knowl
edge with Emma 1. Chivers, in my
life.
