CAPITAL OF TIIK STATE.
A MURDEROUS FIGHT AMONG THE
CONVICTS AT THE. JAIL.
Police Kush in Just in Time to Pre
vent a Murder—A Moonshiner Yv ho
Escaped by Doing: the Human Fly
Act Brought Back—Gov. Gordon 111
With the Grip.
Atlanta. Ga., March 11.—Trouble oc
curred among the prisoners at the county
jail this afternoon. Sol Turner, a notori
ous Fulton county burglar, was twice
stabbed in the region of the heart by Henry
Falvey. alias Farks, a white man. Another
negro prisoner, named Moss, also took a
band in the difficulty. Turner was talking
through the grated door with his
wife when Falvey approached and
began heaping unseemingly epithets
on the woman. Turner resented this and a
quarrel ensued. The police were telephoned
for and reached the jail about the time
the fight was well under way. Turner
struck at Falvey with a stick of moulding
when the latter drew a small knife and did
the stabbing. The police rushed in to
separate the parties just as Moss was
coming to Turner's assistance. Moss un
wisely turned upon the officers aid was ou
the point of hurling a spittoon at one when
another knocked tom down with his club.
Within a short tune all was quiet. The
jailer reports Turner resting easily to-night.
A MOONSHINER BROUGHT BACK.
Deputy marshals arrived in the city to
day with Dock Coekburne, a Murray
county moonshiner, who a-caped from the
prisoners' room in the federal court in this
city several month ago. Coekburne was
waiting in the prisoners’ room expecting
to plead guilty as soon ns his case was
reached, when, finding that no one was
watching, it occurred to him that
he might get away by crawling
along a narrow granite combing
leading from the window of the room to
that of the hall. He made the desperate
venture and succeeded. The prisoners’
room is located in the third story of the
building, and. had he fallen, sure death 0:1
the stone pavement awaited him. It was
necessary to turn a corner in or
der to reach the window by which
he proposed to re-enter the building, which
fact made the undertaking doubly hazard
ous. Cockburn, however, clung tight, and
managed to reach the corridor. He then
walked away, leaving the officers no clue
by which to trace lnm. According to his
own statement, he went to Sand
mountain, and has been living there
ever since. Lately he revisited
his old home in Murray county,
and was on the way back to Sand moun
tain, when two deputy marshals recognized
aud talked to him m Chattanooga. They
made no attempt to arrest him then, but
boarded tho same Georgia-bound train
Coekburne left on, and took him into cus
tody as soon as they reached Georgia soil.
The moonshiner to-day, after looking at the
federal building, said ho would not ve ture
on the narro w granite ieuge again for the
whole wealth of Atlanta.
TAILORS ON A STRIKE.
The Atlanta tailors are on a strike and
demand an increase of wages, which was
refused. The merchants eutered into an
agreement and offered the workmen certain
terms of settlement, which at last accounts
tad not been accepted by the union. It is
said that w ages have been steadily increased
for the past three years.
GOV. GORDON SICK.
Gov. Gordon is sick with a severe attack
of the grippe.
Surveyors are busy around Atlanta locat
ing the line of the Georgia, Car lina and
Northern railroad, which, it is said, will be
completed to the city in twelve months.
The contract for its co- struction from the
Savannah river to Atlanta is to be let in
the next few day-. Tho road will connect
with the Seaboard and Roanoke system.
A POLICE COURT SCANDAL.
To-day in the police court Carrie Echols,
a white woman, was fined for cursing Tay
lor Echols, a coal black negro. Both parties
were arrested by the officers on a charge of
disorderly conduct. Mrs. Elizabeth Frank
lin was also arraigned on tho same charge,
but the case against her was dis
missed, as was that against the
negro. Behind this little cas*
lies a terrible scandal. The negro, it is re
reported, claims the white woman fined for
abusing him as his lawful wife. Where
they were married does not appear, and he
got his cursing because she was jealous of
the other white woman. No state cases
have yet beer, made against any of the par
ties concerned.
A ROW OVER THE COLOR LINE.
Kate Castleton’s Maid Refused a Room
at a Hotel.
Americus, Ga., March IL—The Kate
Castleton company gave a performance at
Glover’s opera house last night. Many of
the audience would probably- have been
still more disgusted than they v ere
at the play had they known of a
one-act play previously performed at the
Allen house. Upon the arrival of the troupe
in the city Mr. Phillips applied for a first
class room for a colored woman, claiming
that she was his wife’s maid. Ihe room
•was refused, when he became very angry
and used rough language.
KATE ALSO RILED.
When the fair Kate heard that her maid
had been refused a first-class room she also
became angry, and said some hard things
against the Allen house aud Americus.
When Mr. Allen told Phillips that he did
not entertain negro guests the latter replied:
“I propose to pay for the room aud have a
right to put any lady in it that I may
choose.” It is needle s to say that Mr. Allen
took a different view of the question.
HELD HIM BY THE BOWELS
And with the Other Hand Artistically
Cut His Foe to Death.
Brunswick, Ga.. March 11.—Silas
Wright (colored) killed another negro
named Peter King, at Mclntyre’s mill near
Atkinson, a few miles from Brunswick, on
the Brunswick and Western railroad this
morning. A woman was the causa of the
trouble. Wright cut King iu the stomach,
end, catching the eutrails of the wounded
man in his hand, held them until he had
made four more stabs. King drew a pistol
and attempted to shoot, but was too weak.
His hand fell helpless by his side. Tne mur
derer fled, followed by a party of highly
indignant mill bands, who thought much
of King. Wright’s life will be in jeopardy
if ho is caught.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1890.
! PICKENS COUNTY’S GANG, j
j THE LAW OFFICERS ARMED WITH
ALL THE BECRETS.
Fourteen Out of the Twenty Members
Under Arrest—Text of the Oath They
Took The Band First Organized
Four Years Ago—Their Methods of
Work.
Atlanta, Ga., March IL —A number of
interesting particulars concerning “The
Honest Man’s Friend and Protector,” the
recently unearthed band of Pickens county
bouseburners, are still unpublished. The
law officers arc in possession of the proof,
bat only fourteen or fifteen out of twenty
seven members of the band have been ar
rested, and secrecy is being preserved for
the present. It is well known that last
week several members were taken into
custody for burning the house of John
Aiken on the night of Nov. 13; that of ff.
N. Ledfoi and, Dec. 3, and Mike Stoner’s town
house, located in Jasper, on Dec.
2L When Aiken’s place was
destroyed none of bis familv
happened to be at home. Ledford had a
wife and nine children. He was himself
absent oa the night the gang turned its at
tention to his property, but the balauce of
tho family were asleep in their beds.
L< dford had several grown daughters.
When ti.e house was fired these and their
mother escaped, almost naked, to the woods
with the smaller children. Thoy had not
even modest covering, and the bleak Decem
ber blasts penetrated to their bones as they
struggled shivering through the woods to a
place of refuge.
THE NEXT BLAZE.
The burners next fired Stoner’s house. It
was one of the best of its class in Jasper.
Stoner lost $1,500 in the flames, aud his
wife and five children barely managed to
escape with their lives. These facts, with
the rescue of two of their gang from Pick
ens jail by tho moonshine band, and the
battles foucht ou the mountain side between
the revenue men and members of the out
rageous brotherhood, have been published
from time to time and are familiar to the
public, but many details of the band’s his
tory havo thus far escaped publication.
It is not generally known that the gang
was first organized four years ago. Very
little, however, was done, and for a time
meetings ceased to bo held ur.til last year,
when a reorganization was effected, and
the devilment began in earnest. The mem
bers lived within an area not more than ten
miles square. Tin’s territory covered a por
tion of three militia districts of Pickens—
the “Town district,” in which Jasper is sit
uated, and “Grassy Knob” aud “Sharp
Top” districts, tho two latter bearing the
names of mountain peaks in the vicinity.
TWO GANGS.
The band was divided into two gangs,
the “upper” and the “lowor.” When there
was work to be done in the neighborhood
where the lower gang lived the upper gang
performed it, and this lower men would be
on duty when tho scene of action was to be
in the territory in which resided their con
federates of the upper squad. Everything
was planned beforehand, and the idle con
tingent would taka pains to place themselves
in position to prove alibis in the event of
an investigation. In this way for
a long time the offenders managed
fco dodge detection, and it is
doubtful whether they would ever have
been brought to justice had not two of their
number preferred the risk of being mur
dered by their accomplices to that of going
to the penitentiary, and betrayed tho
secrets of the older. Among the "twenty
seven members it is interesting to note
that there were two preachers, one devout
church official giveu to loud and frequent
public praying, and one church clerk.
THEIR SWORN AGREEMENT.
And this was the very moral business to
which, by solemn oat a, they band them
srives: Each member joining the band
was to present a victim to bo handed do.vn
by tho Land. It was not expected that the
member should enroll it formally as that of
a victim. He was to assume it himself, and
join tho order under the alias. T ills tho
1 ader of the gang, John Landsdowne,
wanted W. N. Ledford pun
ished for revenue reporting, "and
so he joined under tho natno of the latter,
cone aling his own so far as documentary
ovid-nca wont, and at the same time mak
ing Ledford a marked man. Of t e twantv
seven names appauded to tho oath, all ap
pear to have been those borne by govern
ment witnesses in distillery cases.
TEXT OF THE OATH.
The text of the oath has been kept socret.
Hera it is:
Honest men’s friend and protector.
We, Nelson Ledford, John Heyes, eto.
[twenty-seven names iu all], do solemnly swear
that we will protect each other in putting down
revenue reporting, and that we will stick to
each other in anything we undertake, and we
will be true to each other at all
times and in all troubles that we or any
of us may get into in regard to this matter, and
that we will always be re ly to help ourcind
(meaning kind) when cald upon aud in case that
any of us should be deprived from this priviledg,
we will no all that we can to get him out of Ills
or their trouble A father say tlmt we will not
take in any person or persons without concent
of all tho parly & that we will
do all we can to keep down suspitinn and that
we will be detectives for each other at any and
all times, and will work for the goo 1 of our
country aud espesly (meaning especially) for
ourselves, and we lurtuer swear that if any
man devulges any of the secrets of the honest
man’s friend and protector to the linel event of
his conviction shal be sentence of
death in any way the true party
thinks best; and we furl her swear that we will
always be redy to work when cald upon,
when in power to do so, and further swear that
we will allway do justice between all parties,
and will lie kind to each other and help each
other in bearing the burdings of life, and if
any of the party ever gets so far
away that he cannot be with the paftv or is
ever excluded from ihis land that ho will keep
the secrets of this lodge as sacred as a member
iu the full command.
We do solemnly swear that wo will do all the
thing's iu the above stated case in as much as we
can at any aud ail times, so help us God.
THE AUTHOR OF THE PAPER.
This graceful document was drawn up by
James Wiggiugton, a justice of tho peace,
and a man of good stuidi ig in his commu
nity. He is now in jail, by the way.
The paper is a dirty, well-worn one, and
barely legible in some places, but
sufficiently so for one to decipher
it by the help of the context. The
association of house burners not only bound
its members to observe this written
oath, which appears to have occupied the
place of a constitution for tho order, but
they had drawn up also a set of by-laws
which the men pledged themselves to obey.
Tho original copy of tho in -laws has bee.i
turned over to the authorities, but the
paper on which it is written is so badly
worn that little can bo gotten out of
it except that it was agreed that,
should a member drink too much or dis
obey orders ho was to be flogge i, and if he
failed to appear at tho rendezvous of the
clan after due notice that a meeting was to
take place had been served upon him, ho
subjected himself to a fine of 50 cents for
his neglect.
OUTRIDE ATTACHES.
Besides its regularly sworn and initiated
members tho band had a number of ou si !o
attaches—novices they might be called—
wiio were kept on hand to do the swearing
for the others. They were not allowed to
join, that they might truthfully state i;i
court that they wore not members. It
seems to have been supposed that their tes
timony Would 1.0 mine readily c i d.ted ~: 1
that account, for otherwise the me ssity for
such men does not appear, since by i|, o tes
timony of one of the gang taken in wriii g
Iwfore the coinu.iwlouer at Jasper last wei k
it appear* that all the members were
bound to swear their associate!
out of trouble. When Wiggiugton,
t‘ o drafter of the oath, was first arrested, lie
obtained bin discharge, apparently through
i lie ready ties sworn to hv his ace utiplicos.
There were al lays a dozen or fifteen of
these l.aif meui’ e r s kept oil Land for swear
ing purposes. The manner of taking ilia
oath, according to the statement of one of
the gang, was simply to bull up the right,
hand wmie it was being real, and then say
“yes.”
OFFICERS OF THE ORGANIZATION.
The officers of this remarkable organiza
tion were:
John A. Landsdowne, captain, alias W.
N. Ledford.
Juc Richards, secretary, alias John Brock.
J. L. Coffee, treasurer, alias unknown.
George Fields, iieutenant, alias William
Bradley.
Ihe state authorities will proeeoute such
members of the gang as have been arrested
for arson: they will be dealt with in the
United States court for conspiracy. A
sample of the evidence on which it is pro
posed to convict them may not be out of
place.
A member of the organization who has
turned state's evidence testifies: “I’d rather
r.ot say whether members of the band
agreed to swear each other out of trouble.
I’d rather not say, but I expect it has been
done. The object of the organization was
to thrash out reporters and stand by one
another in case of tr übie. The time we
went to Aiken’s I insisted on whipping
AikeD. He was too close to us and had
been a witness too often. Some of the gang
went there and found Aiken absent.
USED ASSUMED NAMES.
“All who joined the order signed under
fai t: names.
“Mike Stoney was Montreville Holbert;
J. IL Aiken was Harrison B. Jones, and the
others went under assumed names already
given.
“Thirteen of us went to Ledford’s house,
armed with guns and pistols. We took a
Jot of fodder and carried it to Ledford’s.
The party divided and approached the
house m two tquads. Fodder was placed
around the kitc ien, which we tired first.
The blaze went out, and tho stables were
next set on tire. By that time the kitchen
had been relighted, and both burned to
gether. The other buildings caught from
these. There was whisky iu our crowd that
night.”
District Attorney Darnell, who is himself
from Pickens county, whore he once taught
school, says there was no touch of politics
in the Honest Man’s Friend and Protector.
About half the- organization were demo
crats and half republicans. Tho territory
inhabited by the moons liners, he says, is
one of wild and picturesque beauty, such as
no extravagance could do justice to.
WIGGINGTON IN JAIL.
Justice Wiggington is in Fulton county
jail to-mght. He will be carried to Jasper
for trial before the United States commis
sioner to-morrow. Wiggmgton was traced
to Alabama, and was arrested by ex-Sberiff
Henderson of Pickens. Both had disap
peared, and for some time were sup
posed to have been murdered by
members of the house-burners’ gang.
Henderson found Wiggiugton at an
iron works thirty miles below
Birmingham, where the latter had obtained
employment. Hon. Carter Tate of Pickens
was at the executive office to-day. He
thinks that twenty members of the gang
will probably be brought to justice, as a re
ward of S2OO each is offered for the delivery
of these men with proof to convict. The
contingent fund will catch it by the time
ail the rewards are paid.
STRIKES IN NSW YORK.
Shirt Makers Win—Cloak and Trousers
Makers Still Out.
New York, March 11.—The striking
shirt makers have joined hands with the
striking cloak makers, and will now fight
for shorter hours and more pay together.
Seven of the largest shirt contractors have
conceit'd the terms of the men, and the
smaller ones are expeoted to follow suit.
The shirt makers’ union is trying to organ
ize the females, particularly the American
girls engaged in the business. Most of the
strikers are Russian Jews and Roumanians.
One American branch has already been
tormed.
THE CLOAK MAKERS.
The condition of the cloak makers’ strike
is this: The bosses have rgreed to tho terms
demanded except that they will noUput the
agreement in writing. The bosses refuse to
do this,ami tho siriko will bo continued.
The trousers makers are also making a
demand for shorter hours and the privilege
of forming a union, both of which the bosses
have so lar opposed. Committees on both
sides are now in conference.
BROKER LBSTBR DEAD.
The Manner of His Daughter’s Mar
riage May Have Hastened His End.
Chicago, March 11. —John T. Lester, a
wealthy stock broker, died to-night. Ho
has been an invalid for two years, having
become broken down by close attention to
business. Home of his friends assert that
his prostration was due to the manner of his
daughter’s marriage some weeks ago to a son
of P. D. Armour. The Lesters were said to
have been arranging w edding festivities on
a grad scale: Young Armour, it is
claimed, disregarded the preparations and
had the marriage conducted iu a radically
simple way and with a lack of consultation
that upset his invalid father-in-law.

PLASTICO.
Plastico is properly Anti-Kalsomine and
Anti-Wail Paper. It possesses advantages over
paper and kalsoraines that it ought to displace
them entirely, both for plain, cheap work and
tile most elaborate, as it will keep buildings in
better repair at a less cost, and much less, if
the cost and inconvenience of removing old
coats of kalsomine and wall paper is consid
ered, and the same material is adapted to
HEAVY RELIEF WORK, Modeling, t ombing,
stippling, Blending, etc. It produces any de
gree of this w, irk in solid tints, the outer color
being maintained all the way through to the
wall or base, through the blended portions and
all, so that any abrasions are the same color as
the surface. Sets slowly, and yet harder than
the wall itself, and hardens with age. Gall and
examine specimen of work.
