MISS PARKER’S STORV.
Xiss Annie Parker was the first witness
Introduced by the state. She had gone to a
kgll on the night of Sept. 14 in company
ith the prisoner, John G. Pittman. The
jgaoe was given at a house at Fourth
.venue and Montgomery street. Pittman
raid tiut little attention to her during
ijja evening, but Instead became
no intoxicated that she was com
pelled to receive the escort of H. J. Jones,
Vbo acoompanied her to her home, No. 194
Jones street. After arriving at her rest
2enoe, she and Jones sat on a bench on the
stoop.’ About ten minutes after, Pittman
oame along and went to his house, whloh is
s (ew doors below Miss Parker’s resideuoe.
Pittman came over a fsw minutes later and
remarked that some had
tried to get the best of be and his brother
B t tbs .danoe.
Jones rebuked Pittman for using sixth
language in the presence of a lady, upon
"which he immediately apologised but subse
quently used more profane language, but
apologized again. Miss Parker said that
ebe remarked that the apologies were satis
factory to her but Jones declared that “it
did not satisfy him, and that his sweetheart
had been insulted," and that, “whoever In
sults my sweetheart, must kill me or PU
kill him." She was told by Jones to go in
the bouse which she did, but saw
Jones strike at Pittman. She did
not see a knife in Jones’ hand. She
saw no more, but beard scuffling in the
street which she supposed was the men
fighting. Pittman was drunk.
IT WAS A LIVELY DANCE.
The next witness was George Zipperer.
He bad attended the party. Haw Pittman
{here under the influence of liquor. Zip
rwrer had had an altercation with Pittman’s
brother. There was considerable quarrel
ing, but no great amount of fighting was
done. There were several interested in tbs
affair. Pittman took up for his brother,
and declared that he was "going to cut
somebody's guts out," Pittman was not
eo drunk but that he knew what
he was doing. He did not see Jones
tnd Miss Parker when they left.
Pittman and his brother left together. Pitt
man was very bdfltterous at the dance and
evidently had been drinking.
Dr. P. M. Carrington, who had attended
Jones, was not present, but his statement
was read by the solicitor general to the
tffeot that Jones died from the effects of
the knife wounds.
JONB’B DYING STATEMENT.
H. E. Wllsap, Esq,, testified that he was
lent to visit the dying man at St. Joseph's
I:.armary and take his statement of the oc
currence. He went there on Sept. 16 and
found Jones in a very low oonditlon; be had
to lean over him so as to oatch his broken
sentences. Mr. Wilson asked Jones if hs
had any hopes of surviving, and it the
physician had informed him of his true con
dition. Jones said that, although the doctor
had not told him, ho thought that unless
some speedy relief came he
could not Uve. He was then
told that he oould not recover. Jones said
that he was satisfied that he was going to
die. He then made a statement, and after,
having it read by Mr. Wilson, signed the
document and remarked that “irever the
truth was told, that is the truth.” Mr.
Wilson then read to the jury the statement
of Jones, which was as follows:
My name is Harmon J. Jones. On Mon
day evening. Sept. 4, 1891, 1 went to a ball
al Miss Miller’s, near corner of Fourth
avenue and Montgomery street, in this
city. I met there Pittman and his brother
and Miss Annie Parker. Had never met
John G. Pittman before. Had met his
brother, Edward M. Pittman. Had met the
young lady three or four times before. The
young lady said she went to the ball with
John G. Pittman, the man that cut me. 1
danced with Miss Annie and she said that
Pittman was drinking, and that she did not
intend going back with him. 1 then asked
her if sho would not allpw me to escort her
home. She said she would be more than
pleased to have me do so. It
must have been a little before 12
o’clock, but I am not certain, that we started
hack home. Pittman lives but a few doors
on Jones street from where Miss Annie was
staying with her sister. Miss Annie and I
arrived at the place she was staying with
her sister aud sat in the porch on a little
btatfh.
THE START OF THE DIFFICULTY.
Pittman or me up a few minutes, I think
four or five, after we arrived and went in
his house, where he was boarding, and took
off his coat. He then came over to the
porch tdiere Miss Atinie and I were at
once. He said soma of the ——
* —•; had been trying to run over him
and his brother out there at the dance, but
that they could not do it. I told him he
ought to have more respeot for Mise Annie
tuan to be talking in her presence in that
*ay.
He told me if I did not like it
tome down off the stoop. I then came
down off the stoop. I made no effort to
ftrike him. He cut at me once as I pa rue
down, before I bad an opportunity of irtrik
ing at him, as well as I remember. I am
•ortaln that I used no weapon and made do
tttompt to draw or übo one at the time I
vas out in my bowels, which was the first
Pace I was cut, and the first lick he mads
M me. Wo passed several blows and I got
him down the second lick I got at him.
This was after I was cut in the bowels. I
Put sand in bis eyes and he hallooed for
‘tip. He was on his all-tours. His friend
*BIO6 up, when he (Pittman) raised up and
Jut me on my shoulder. I then put my
tatid back like 1 was going to draw a
Phtol, to frighten his friend off. I had no
pistol; the only thing I had in my pocket
a pocket knife which I never attempted
[“use. Had no unkind feelings whatever
w*ard him.
W- W. Osborne, Esq., acting solicitor
JJheral at the time of the killing, testified
when he was notified by Mayor Mo
"plough that Jone 9 was dying at St. Jos
infirmary, he requested Mr. Wilson to
sad take the dying mail’s testimony.
2® blade of a knife was also sent him,
•aich was proved to be the one extracted
*J, ln Jones' arm.
Tue court, adjourned for an hour and a
“••f at 2 o’clock. At 3:30 p. m. the oourt
again and took up the re
minder of the testimony for the state.
THE PRISONER’S STORY.
# i witnesses wereollered for tho defense,
the prisoner told his story of the atlair.
pitman spoke in a nervous, low tone
'j|ee, though in a oonctse manner. He
4 )d that on Sept. 14 last ho had received
* ,K ’*age from Miss Annie Parker, request
bun to go to a party with her, with
"’b he complied. He stated the direction
, ' v took to get to the place where tho
;J was given. Pittman said he took
, 1 arlcer to tho house, hut remained outs
, ‘ himself, and had several drinks away
,the house during the night. He finally
p> go la and dance.
, ''' a he came out of tbs house again he
uad his brother aud several others quarrel
ing. He saw a number of men trying to get
p.eseion of a stick, also saw a man named
Bennett draw a pistol on his brother, upon
which he took out bis knife and threatened
to cut Bennett if he did not put op the pis
tol.
The row subsided and Pittman said he
and his brother started toward home. He
took a drink or two on the way, passed
through the park, got a drink of water aud
then went home. He went in his bouse,
took off his ooat and came outside
to cool off. Thinking about the affair of
the night, and seeing Jones and Miss Parker
on the stoop near by, he ooneluded to go
over aud set himself right about bis con
duot. He remarked that the crowd tried to
get the best of him. Jones asked if he did
know it was wrong to talk and act as he did,
which he admitted. Jones was not satisfied,
and told Miss Parker to go in the house.
Jones, he said, then struck at him and cut
him in the bead in four or five places. Pitt
man claimed be opened his knife at this
juncture and out Jonas, who knocked him
dawn and threw sand in his eyes. Mr. Hew
lett, Pittman’s friend, came up and Jones
ran away, while Pittman and Hewlett
ran after him crying “Police.” About a
blook away Jones was arrested by a polioe
mao. Pittman cold the policeman that
Jones had out him, and the latter gave the
knife to the offloer and asked to have Pitt
man arrested as ha (Jonetl was also cat.
Pittman told the policeman that he had
lost hts knife. Pittman also stated that he
never knew Jones until he met him that
night at the party aud had had no difficulty
with him antil the affair at the stoop where
Miss Parker resided.
TUB ARGUMENTS.
Solicitor General Fraser made a speech of
about twenty minutes’ duration. Ho cited
the enormity of the crime of murder in its
several degrees and phases. He questioned
the disposition of Miss Parker to shield
Pittman, whom he concluded was an old
and favored friend of hers, and laid con
siderable stress upon the remarks made by
Pittman at the party, which he felt sure
were especially directed to show his ani
mosity and jealousy regarding Jones aud
Miss Parker.
The solioitor general was followed by T.
D. Rockwell, Esq., for the state, who dwelt
upon the same features of the case already
introduced by Mr. Fraser, and assumed in
his judgment as to his belief of the guilt of
the prisoner irrespective of the testimony of
Miss Parker.
The speech of T. 8. Morgan, Jr., Esq.,
lasted for forty minutes. He endeavored to
make the faots of the case plain to the jury
to suit his case; He insisted that the testi
mony of .Miss Parker was substantially the
same as bad been given at the preliminary
trial; that the state bad introduced but a few
witnesses out of a great number whloh had
been summoned; that the state's witnesses
were all that were required to prove that
the prisoner was justified in committing the
doed; and that it was not necessary for the
defense to introduce any testimony. His
argument was forceful aud intelligent,
pathetic and touching. His confidence in
his case seemed to grow into enthusiasm,
and when he closed a self-satisfied air per
vaded his animated countenance.
Judge Falligant’s charge was very plain
and oonfprehenslve os to the penalty im
posed for murder, involuntary man
slaughter, justifiable homicide, and the
weighing of the evidence. The case
was given to the jury at 5:33 o’clock,
and a verdict was returned at 11:30 o’clock.

RAIL. AND CRO3STIE.
The Philadelphia Record contains the
following interesting bit of railroad news:
"The engineers of the projected Norfolk,
Wilmington and Charleston railroad, whose
offices are in this city, have completed the
survey for the entire length of the road,
353 miljs, and are now engaged In locating
the line. Starting from Norfolk, Va., the
surveyed route follows an almost air line to
Charleston, 8. C., passing through a section
of country which is now almost without
railroad facilities. The surveys show that
the construction will be easy, the greatest
difficulty encountered being the Dismal
swamp, which the road runs directly
through. From a point near Kins
ton, N. C., it is proposed to con
struct a branch to Columbia, 8. C., a dis
tance of nearly 350 miles, but this has not
been surveyed yet. The main line will run
through Norfolk county in Virginia, Hert
ford, Bertie Martin, Pitt, Craven. Jones,
Onslow, Pender, Bladen, Columbus and
Brunswick, in North Carolina, and Horry,
Georgetown and Berkeley oountlee in
South Carolina. The road is expected, if
built, to open up a fine lumber und truck
ing country, and to lessen the distance
between the north and Florida by
over 100 miles. Among the larger
towns through or near whloh the route
has been surveyed are Wallaoeton. Va.,
Yardley, Coleraine, Windsor, WliUamston,
Packtolus. Johnson’s Mills, Dover, Pink
Hill, Washington, South Washington, Point
Caswell, Wilmington, N. C., and Conway,
Fraser, Georgetown, Santee and MoClellan
ville, 8. C. The projectors of the company
hope to award tne contract for building a
portion of the line in a short time, and are
now negotiating to raise the necessary fundi,
the cost of constructing the main line being
estimated at about 16,000,000.

LEGENDS OF HAUNTED HILL.
One a Tale of Love and Jealousy, the
Other of Blood and Death.
From the Tulare (Cal.) Times.
Haunted Hill, in Frazier, on the road
from Springville to Potterville, is an odd
looking mound which Is wrapped in the
mysteries of several Indian legends. Some of
the traditions were told to us in 1874,
when we first visited this region, and ever
since we have endeavored to learn the true
stories. The Indians are scattered and
their legends are difficult to ob
tain ; those possessed of intelli
gence will not or do not care to talk. But
from the white men living here many years
ago, and who learned to speak in the In
dian language, we have gathered the par
tial narrative of the legends of Haunted
Hill, known in the Indian tougne as “ Wall-
ing mountain.”
Two stories are told—one a tale of Indian
love and jealousy, the other the story of a
dreadful and fatal battle between the Tule
river Indians and their enemies, the Mexi*
cans residing near San Diego, in this state.
Regarding the first tradition but Bcanty
details can be made. It is probably the
older of the legends, aud the time of its
origin dntes back ages ago, aud it has been
banded down from parent to child among
the Tuloro Indians for hundreds of years.
This much only can be learned: A tribe
living on the banks of the Tule, east of the
hill, gave origin to the legend. Among some
members of tile tribe a bitter jealousy arose,
having love for a source. A faction hav
ing won the affections of six women, the
rivals resolved on sanguinary revouge.
Abiding time and awaiting an unguarded
hour, they pursued these women to the top
of (Vailing mountain and murdered them.
Every night, the Indians aver, the ground
on the summit opens and the six women
appear, only to vanish instautly. Hiuce
then no Indian wifi visit tho hill at night.
The other legend is perhaps the more au
thentic. It is the one sadly told by the few
surviving members of the once prosperous
aud numerous Tulare Indians, m brief, it
is this: The Mexicans from Southern Cali
fornia were wont to make raids into this
valley and drive away the ponies of the
Indians. Armed with superior weapons,
they could defy the Indians. Driven to
desperation, the natives resolved to offer
battle, and, if possible, drive the marauders
from the valley, otherwise to crush them.
Learning this, the Mexicans came In large
numbers, prepared for tbe trial of strength.
The opposing forces mat in the valley at tbe
base of the hill and It is said
no quarter was asked or given. It
is told that MX) Indians perished that day at
the base and on the snmmit of this bill,
whioh, ever since, is known to the Indians
as the “Wailing Mountain." Passing tbe
hill at night the Indians say that the pite
ous wailing of the slain oan be distinctly
heard, hence its name Is dread to all aborigi
nes of the Tulare Valley.
