THE HANGING OF WOOLFOLK.
THE LAST CHAPTER IN THE
gre/st TRAGEDY.
A BRIEF RESUME OF THE SCENE OF BLOODY
CARNIVAL—THE MURDERER AT LAST
PAYS THE PENALTY.
Perry, Ga., October 29.-—Tom 'Wool
folk was strangled to (bath this after
noon by Sheriff Cooper, of Houston
county. No execution in Georgia ever
presented the scene of the one today. A
strop of seven feet failed to break the
murderer’s neck, and for forty minutes
his hody swung at the ertVl of tin; riqio,
with six or seven thousand people gazing
upon it. But he de l just as he had
lived, aud those who predicted that he
would break down at the last
minute aud confess, were disappointed.
He did not confess; o:i the contrary iiis
last statement to the public was a deciar
tion ot innocence, aud with that state
ment yet fresh upon his lips, Woolfolk
met his death as calmly and unconcern
edly as he discussed its approach. 11 is
last hours w ere just as he said they would
be, cool, calai aud deliberate.
(The above li from a photograph taken whits

woolfolk's STATEMENT.
Woolfolk’s statement, which was in
wiitiug. was read from the scaffold, and
was'tis follows: “I, Thomas G. Wool
folk, realizing the existence of an infi
nite, tvise and holy God, so ns to meet
Him, knowing all that I have ever done,
and fully understanding that I must
stand before the judgement bar of God,
aim that to-day, m a fc.v hours, I shall
be called into His presence, do solemnly
declare my innocence, and I leave as my
lust declaration that 1 did not take the
life of my fattier, or any member of his
family, or have any knowledge of the
person or persons who did the murderous
deed. Thomas G. Woolfolk.”
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
The bloodiest, blackest chapter in
Georgia crimiuu! historv is the nt.nrv n
Four years ago 0110 of the happiest,
pleasantest homes iu Georgia mils the
home of the Wo*6folk family in Hazard
district, Bibb county. There for years
and years Cuptain Richard 11. Woolfolk
had lived, aud there Tom Woolfolk was
born; and there his father, his futher's
wife, aud his sisters and brothers were
massacred one night by him alone. The
hoi rible crime was committed on the
night of August 7, 1887. Tlie next morn
ing the uine dead bodies were found in
tiie house, and that day the murderer was
placed in jail.
Since then Wool folk Inis had three
trials, three convictions and three sent
ences of death. On the evening of the
murder Captain Woolfolk, his wife, and
children and Mrs. tempo West wore at
the Woolfolk mansion. That night about
2 or 3 o’clock, negroes living upon the
Woolfolk plantation were aroused by a
commotion of some sort at the mansion.
Some of these heard screams anil cries,
but in a few seconds silence was restored
and no investigation was made. An hour
or two later Tom Woolfolk awoke several
of thesa negroes, saying: ‘•Come over to
the house as quick as you can; some one
broke in and everybody has been mur
dered.” Woolfolk then turned around,
and walked back to the. mansion. The
negroes hastened away to awaken the
Woolfolk neighborhood, aud in a short
time neighbors arrived aud then the
party entered the house. A ghastly,
sickening sight was there to greet them
in the gray dawn.
The party entered Captain Woolfolk’s
room first. Ou the bed lay Captaiu
W< olfolk, next the wall, his features and
limbs naturally composed, but with the
whole corner of his head burst iu and
the brains scattered ou the bed, iloor and
walls. He had bceu struck just over the
left ear with the eye of an ax, in the left
eye with the same part of the ax. and on
the forehead iu the same mauner. lie
looked as if he never moved, even in the
wild agony of the death struggle. On
the same bed, with her form doubled up
on that of her dead husband, lay Mrs.
Mattie Woolfolk, his wife, with her
long hair all dabbled iu blood, t-he looked
as though she had been stricken in the
act of rising, and jut fell dead ou the
body of the husband she sought to shield
from the murderous blow. She had been
stricken down with a single blow that
was delivered on the back of the head
with the eye of the axe. Hut the crudest
sight of ail were the bodies of a young
lady and a little babe lying dead by their
parents, who loved them so fondly. Miss
Pearl Woolfolk, a young girl of seven
teen, had apparently been thrown across
the bed a‘ter her poor young soul had
taken its flight.
By the sine of its mutilated father aud
almost in the cold embrace of its poor
dead mother lay little Mattie, a sweet lit
tle sucking babe of eighteen months, ap
parently sleeping sweetly. Just one wick
ed stroke with the blunt part of the ax
seamed to release its cherub soul from tin
tender body On the floor near by lay
Richard F. Woo'folk, jr , u young nm
ju-t in tho dawn of ufeful maaheol, hi
faoe all oloven and distorted w ith the
murderous blow of the assax-in ( lose by
his side lay little Charlie Woolfolk. five
years old, and to slay him the fiendish
murderer resorted to the wicked blade of
the terrible instrument, already soakin''
with blood. His skull was cloven deeply
from the top. Across the hallway, is
another room, in which slept Miss Pearl,
little Annie Rosebud and Mrs. Tempe
West. After the slaughter in the first
room, the murderer entered tin: north
west room, aud there little An
nie, aged ten, had been awakened
bv the - noise' and rati screaming
with fear as if she would have es
caped by the window. She was dealt a
ruffianly blow la-hind the left ear, fol
lowed by others on the left temple and
on the left side of the neck. 11 < r fin e
was horribly distorted, ns thotiuh she was
in the act of screaming when Strieker
down. On a bed adjoining lav Rosebud,
aged seven, as if she had nev< r been
awakened bv the entrance of the fiend,
A slight stroke on the shoulder showed
whem the fatal ax had glanced, and a
terribly blow behind the left ear show and
how well the weapon had done its work.
Not content with robbing the (110111',
the villian must needs rob the grave, and
by the side of ihe littie girl lay Mrs
Tempe West, eighty-four years old, with
ner withered features distorted by two
ugly wounds, one behind the left ear ami
the other in the left temple. All these
were dealt with the poll of the a\ and
the wounds were meat horrid. From all
appearances, neither the old lady nor tbe
little girl with her ever knew what struck
them. Words are inadequate to paint
tlie picture as those with Tom W oolfblk
the only living member of the family,
saw it that morning. And among tin in
ill, Woolfolk was ivy far the coolest.
BUSINESS REVIEW.
DUN A co.’e REPORT OF TRADE FOR TIIF.
PAST WEEK.
The weekly review of trade of R. G.
Dun &, Cos., says: The approach of the
elections has caused some slackening of
trade at many juiints, which is obviously
tcoipoiary. At a few cities, notably St.
Louis, there is observed a reaction from
the great activity which prevailed just
before the new tariff went into effect, the
demand for the having been satis
fied by dealings in anticipation of that
measure. But at nearly all cities trade
continues remarkably large. Foreign
tridc for the month will certainly prove
much the largest known, and the great
industries arc all unusual V active.
At the south business is thriving.
New Orleans reports large receipts of
sugar and rice and good prices, though
the baling of cotton is hindered by the
weather, but at Galveston tiude improves
with better weather and orders are free,
and at Savannah receipt are 55,757 bales
of cotton, 15,070 casks of rosin and
8,488 of turpentine. At Jacksonville
trade i rntber dull, but in the north* ru
Atlantic states decidedly active. The
greet industries are doing more on the
whole than at any time in the past.
•' hile iron production is at its max mum,
and the market at Philadelphia is “very
mixed,” iron stems stronger and steel
weaker.
Cotton is asfKtuTer lower, with goods
unchanged and in active demand, aud
I luiviugs bv noi'loeru simmers luliv up ly
Traction OTgher than a week ago, and 8.0
per cent higher than a year ago. Ex
ports from this ]i rtfor four weeks have
been $10,080,000 larger in value than
last year, when October exports for the
whole country Mere nearly $98,000,000,
which indicates for the month much the
bn-go-t movement on record. Imports
here also show an increase over last year
of $15,000,000, so that the aggregate for
the month may reach $80,000,000.
Failures for the week in the United
States are 190, comp in and with 227 for the
corresponding week last year.
