REDMOND, THE OUTLAW.
A Correct Account of the Acts and Doings
of the Noted Outlaw.
Newport, 11. 1., September 9.—Tlere was
a buzz of excitement among the passengers
in our car when someone entering stated that
Redmond, the notorious Carolina outlaw, was
in the smoking car, en route to a New York
State penitentiary. That was on the train
between Charlotte, N. C., and Danville, Ya.,
on the afternoon of the 3d instant. I did not
join in the rush of the curious to get a sight,
of Hie moonshiner, but after supper at Greens
boro’ I went forward for a smoke. The aisle
of the car was literally packed with people of
the station, and not until the train was in
motion again could I get a sight of the group
of men toward which the crowd had been
gazing. There were in all, thfte prisoners
and four United States Marshals. I stopped
opposite a seat upon which a pale faced youth
was sitting with one knee drawn upon the
seat. Bending over to him, I asked, in an
undertone, “ Can you point out Redmond to
me ?”
“ Redmond is my name,” was his answer.
“ Ah ! but I mean Lewis R. Redmond, the
noted outlaw,” I replied.
“ I am Lewis R. Redmond,” he answered,
lie had the name, hut not the face nor
voice nor figure of the man I was looking for,
and I required time to reconcile my mind to
a possible identity between the red-handed
desperado of whom I had read and the tran
quil-visagcd, gentle voice before me. I left
him and found a seat further on by a man
who proved to he one of the Deputy Marshals
in charge of the prisoner. But he confirmed
the acknowledgment of the young man as
being Redmond, the outlaw.
Of the score of men in the car—some were
New York drummers and a young Episcopal
clergyman—there was not one whom I would
not have sooner pointed out as the probable
moonshiner. Ilis features are of delicate
chiseling, expressive of finest sensibilities, his
expression amiable and intelligent, his com
plexion fair. Ilis hair moustaches, tastefully
trimmed, are dark brown. Clearer, softer
blue eyes, or of kindlier glances, never look
ed from the soul of a girl. Add to this blend
ing of personal attractions a vocalism melodi
ous and gentle, and the reader will wonder
as I did in contemplating him, where existed,
and what were the elements of character con
stituting this man a law-breaker and man
slayer? I was as sure then, before hearing
any authentic statement, as I am now, after
after having had the history of his life from
his own lips, that Lewis R. Redmond was
never the murderous fiend the public has had
portrayed over his name.
“ There is no question,” said Major A.
Blythe, United Statc3 Marshal of South Caro
lina, to me, “ but that the published accounts
of Redmond’s career have been largely over
drawn. Ilis life has been devoid of many of
the eventful incidents wdth which it is ac
credited.”
Mr. James S. Simons, of Charleston, Maj-
Blythe’s chief deputy, said : “ Redmond’s
true history can best be bad from bis own
S
lips. That he lias daringly and persistently
violated the laws is true, but lie pleaded
guilty to those charges against him, and Red
mond is too brave a fellow to repay confi
dence with falsehood. You may 7 relj\ 1
think, upon anything he tells you concerning
himself.”
redmond’s age and early history.
“I am a Georgian by birth,” ho answered
to an inquiry of mine. “My birth-place was
about twentj r miles from Atlanta. When I
was two years old, in 1850, my parents re
moved to Transylvania, one of the Western
counties of North Carolina. lam now twen
ty-seven year? old.”
“ How long since your first affair with the
Revenue officials?” I asked.
“ That was eight years ago, when I was
nineteen.”
“ That first difficulty,” lie continued, “was
forced on me. I did my best to avoid it;
but it was pushed on me.”
“Tell me the circumstances,” I requested
of him.
“ W ell, I will go back to the beginning.
You see, away back in the mountains where
wc lived, there wasn’t much money, for it was
a long ways to where crops had to be hauled
to sell them. When I was seventeen I be^an
D
driving cattle across the mountains, and made
some money by the business. I never went
to school. What little I have learned about
books, I had to pick up the best way I could.
After I had been trading in cattle about a
3'ear, a widow woman, living neighbor to my
folks, was about to be sold out for taxes, and
she begged me to lend her money. I let her
have thirteen dollars, which paid her out.
She tried a whole year to pay me back, and
seemed worried about it. At last she asked
me to take pay in some whisky she had, and
just to oblige her, Mook the whisky and sold
it for just enough money to pay back what I
lent to her. I didn’t know just how I was
breaking the law, for I talked about that like
I would about any other trade. There was a
FOR THE PEOPLE.
Deputy Marshal, named Alfred Duckworth,
i who heard about it, and one day lie met me
in the road and leveled a pistol at me and
told me to surrender. I asked him what I
had done, but lie would not tell me, but cursed
mo. I had no pistol. I told him to stop
pointing his at me, but he kept it leveled at
me and kept on cursing ire. The man who
was driving my wagon, 1 knew, had a pistol
in the feed trough. I ran for it, and we both
fired at the same tin e. Ilis bullet just touch
ed the head of the driver, but mine killed him.
That was my first trouble with a Revenue
officer.”
*. “ What was done with you for this ?”
‘ Nothing. When the grand jury met the
Judge told them that as Duckworth had no
warrant, he was acting unlawfully in trying
to arrest me by force, and that I was justified
in using the same kind of force in resisting
arrest. But some of the other Deputy Mar
shals were mad at me for killing Duckworth,
and began making threats against me. Well,
I heard about that, and I got mad like, and
said I wouldn’t take a dare, and began trading
in whisky then, put of spite I reckon.”
“ What other officers have you killed be
side Duckworth ?” I asked.
“ Duckworth is the only man I ever killed.
All these things the papers have said about
my killing others besides him are false. I
have just seen a book published by Barclay
& Cos., of Philadelphia, named ‘Redmond, the
Carolina Outlaw.’ They have got my name
right, but everything else in the book is a lie.
I did try to kill another Marshal named E.
11. Barton. That was in January, 1877. He
and a squad of men with him surprised me
one night, and had shotguns leveled at iny
head when they woke me. They crossed and
tied my hands, and then Barton searched me
and took one hundred dollars from me, and
then gave me a hard kick in my left side. I
was mad then, for true. I was just boiling
hot. Barton told me to put on my shoes,
lie was swearing at me when I stooped down
to put them on. He was standing close by
me. I jumped up at him ; punched him in
the side with my elbow, and as he fell I ran
out of the house in the snow barefooted. I
found a man who untied my hands. My
wrists were bleeding where the ropes had cut
them. I jerked up a gun from the man’s
house and ran barefooted to the road, where
Barton was driving off rav horse and wagon,
and shot him in the shoulder. I get three
y 7 ears now for that.”
“ But did you not make a raid on Barton
after that ?” was asked.
'* Yes, I got some satisfaction out of Bar
ton. A week after that I got some of my
friends together and started for Barton’s
house, in Pickens county, S. C., to get back
what he had taken from me. The others
wanted to go at night, but I didn’t want to
go in a cowardly way so we went to Barton’s
at sun up. lie saw us corning and I saw
him hiding. I went to the door and his wife
told me that Barton had gone to Columbia.
When I told her I knew he was at home she
began crying and begged me not to kill Bar
ton. I told her I only wanted to see him to
get back what he had stolen from me. I
knew he had no right to take that money from
me. Well, she went in the yard and called
Barton, and he crawled from under the house
and crept on his all-fours begging me not to
shoot him. I told him I wanted my money,
lie said he had no money, but offered me a
check for a hundred dollars. I said I would
not take it, as I didn’t know whether I could
get any money for it. Then his wife said she
would ride with me to Easley’s Station and
get the money on it for me, and so we rode
side by side to the station and got the money.
When I got back to Barton’s lie wanted me
to take bis two horses in place of the two he
had taken from me, and he sent for two of
his neighbors to witness that he voluntarily
gave them to me in payment for the two he
took.’’
‘‘You had many raiding parties after you
from time to time
“ Yes, I have been shot at one hundred and
sixty-two times.”
There was no boastfulness in Redmond’s
recitation of these and other incidents, but
when he was telling of the occurrence of his
arrest and ill-usage by Barton, I began to
read the secret of his desperado life. The
mild blue eyes underwent a transformation
of expression, and of color, and in the re,
membrance of Barton’s indignities toward him,
his face became cruel in its rigid lir>es. llis
voice too, though no louder, was for the time
harder of tone.
‘‘Did you continue in violation of the
revenue laws up to the time of your arrest in
April ?” I asked.
‘‘Oh, no,” he replied, “ not for about three
years before that. My mother died, and
about two weck3 after my father also. I
have four sisters, and one of them, the
youngest, has been crippled since she was a
little girl, and goes on crutches like I now
do. When my mother was dying she beg
ged me to take care of my sisters. I loved
my mother and my sisters, and I promised
ray mother to do as she asked. So I gave
out word that I had gone to Texas and moved
into Swaync county, further west, in the
mountains, and settled down to farming.”
IIOW L’KDMOXI) WAS CATTI'III'D.
“ I had married,” he continued, “ and was
living a peaceable life. One day I was shell
ing corn, to go to the mill, when my dog
treed a squirrel in the woods near the house.
My wife, who had been sick, called ine and
asked ine to kill the squirrel for her. I got
my rifle and shot it. Six men were hid be
hind a fence within thirty five steps of me.
and when my rifle was empty and my back
turned to them they rose and tired at me.
I did not think of a revenue officer being in
a hundred miles of me. and so you may I now
that the two bullets that had gone through
me surprised me some. As I turned round
lacing them they fired another round, and
then kept on until thirty-six shots had been
fired, five through ray body and this one which
is in my knee now. I caught hold of a sapling
to hold rip by, and shot up as I was, one of
them ordered me to throw up ray hands.”
“ Did you obey ?”
“ No.”
“ Did you answer him ?”
“ I told him 1 would die before I would
raise my hands to cowards who would shoot
an unarmed man in the back.”
With five bullet holes through his body
and a bullet lodged in his knee, with coun
try nursing and doctoring, and prison fare
and accommodation, within five months Lewis
R. Redmond has wellnigli entirely recovered.
Marshal Bly the and his several deputies
speak in pleasantest terms of Redmond.
Ilis conduct since his removal to Greenville,
S. C., where ho was tried and sentenced, has
won for him universal sympathy, and from
no persons more so than the Deputy Marshals,
some of whom had for years been after him.
And I venture the assertion here, that had
the revenue officials who waged war against
the untutored young mountaineer eight years
ago been of the class of men of Marshal
Blythe and his deputies, we would never have
read of Redmond the outlaw. To the swag
gering and insole t demeanor of the character
less hirelings of the Revenue Department
eight years lias the Government been indebted
for the conversion of a high strung and fear
less youth into the moonshiner, who cost it a
mint of money to secure his capture and
punishment. Lewis R. Redmond,condemned
to ten years of penal servitude in a Northern
prison, is by nature the superior of many an
occupant of high military 7 and c ; vic trusts in
our country 7 . I would like to see the gallant
young fellow the recipient of a full pardon
with an offer of a place in the ranks of the
United Slates army. Russell.
The Prevention of Disease.
“ Prevention is better than cure and far
cheaper,” said John Locke, two hundred
years ago ; and the history of medical science
has since made it more and more probable
that, in a stricter sense of the word, preven
tion is the only possible cure. By observing
the health laws of nature, a sound constitu
tion can be very easily preserved, hut, if a
violation of those laws lias brought on a dis
ease, all we can do by way of “curing” that
disease is to remove the cause; in other
words, to prevent the continued operation of
the predisposing circumstances.
Suppressing the symptoms in any other
way means only to change the form of the
disease, or to postpone its crisis. Thus, mer
curial salves will cleanse the skin by driving
the ulcers from the surface to the interior of
the body ; opiates stop a llux only by para
lyzing the bowels— i. e., turning their morbid
activity into a morbid inactivity ; the symp
toms of pneumonia can be suppressed by
bleeding the patient till the exhausted system
has postponed the crisis of the disease. This
process, the “ breaking up of a sickness,” in
the language of the old school allopathists, is,
therefore, in reality, only an interrupting of
it, a temporary interruption of the symptoms.
We might as well try to cure tiie sleepiness
of a weary child by pinching its eyelids, or
the hunger of a whining dog by compressing
his throat.
Drugs are not wholly useless. If my life
depended upon a job of work that had to he
finished before morning, and the inclination
to fall asleep was getting irresistible, I should
not hesitate to defy nature, and keep myself
awake with cup after cupful of strong black
colfee. If I were afflicted with a sore, spread
ing rapidly from ray temple toward my nose,
I should suppress it by the shortest process,
even by deliberately producing a larger sore
elsewhere, rather than let the smaller one
destroy my eyesight. There are also two or
three forms of disease which have (thus far)
resisted all unmedicinal cures, and can hardly
be trusted to the healing power of nature—
the lues venerea, scabies, and prurigo—be
cause, as Claude Bernard suggests, their symp
toms are probably duo to the agency of
microscopic parasites, which oppose to the
action of the vital forces a life energy ot their
own, or, as Dr. Jennings puts it, “ because
art has here to interfere—not for the purpose
of breaking up diseased action, but for the
removal of the cause of that action, the
destruction of an active virus that possesses
the power of self-perpetuation beyond the
dislodging ability of nature.”
But with those rare exceptions it is better

rather than the symptoms— i. e., in about
ninety-nine eases out of a hundred it is not
only the safer but also the shorter way to
avoid drugs, reform our habits, and, for the’
rest, let nature have her course ; for, properly
speaking, disease itself is a reconstructive
process, an expulsive effort, whose interrup
tion compels nature to do double work ; to
resume her operations against the ailment
after expelling a worse enemy—the drugs.
If a drugged patient recovers, the true ex
[•lunation is that his constitution was strum* -
enough to overcome both the disease and the
druggist.— Dr. Felix L. Oswald, in Popular
