I didn’t commit the crime, and I won’t tell a He to please the people," said Wool folk, He talked unoonoeruedly and laughed heartily at a Joke ou of the guards; and in answer to a question, said, "I believe Jack Du Bose either helped to commit the murder, or saw those who did It. They say Jaek was cr*sy nnd sent him to the asylum. Well, no one but a crazy man or a demon could have committed -that crime. No body who believed in a God and a future life could have done It. "I don’t know who did It, and to save my life I wouldn’t accuse any man of It unless I had proof. { be lieve four or five person* helped do It. When I (Jumped up I thought wa* a general thlug, and all the neighbors were being done * the tame way. I sent a man to a neigh- boa’a house, but expected him to bring bock nows that murder had been committed there too." The night passed off quietly, light this morning the tramp of feet begau on the streets, and by eight o’clock a crowd assembled In frogt of the Jail to see It there was anything to be ween. At 9 o’clock a good breakfast wap served to the condemned, which he ate very timidly. After eating ho bathed and don< nsd a new suit of clothei entirely, His outer apparel was composed a neat suit of block cassimere, the coat of ths cutaway style, and a pair of patent leather slippers. At 0:30, Revs. Morehouse,of Per ry, and Bateman, of Fort Valley— Methodists—anil lireuton, of Perry, and Dr. Warren, of Macon—Bap tists—were admitted* cell, wnere prayers and .gsnaral devotions was conducted for nearly an hoar, after whloh Will Rnasel, a local barber, was oallsd in to shave Woolfolk. He expressed a desire to hie brother In-law, Henry P. Cowan, this morning, that he did not waut his sister to see him In bis coffin. To Deputy Sheriff J. A. Reiley and 8herlff Cooper, Woolfolk ex pressed a desire that his body should be allowed to remain, If neoessary, at least live minutes longer thin the pbydelso. nMt- nounced death to be sure that there would be no recovery. During the forenoon every hour added hundreds to the crowd, uutil one o’clock p. ro. t when Woolfolk Wa TAKEN FROM TIIE JAIL. Surrounded by the Perry Rifles be emerged from the Jail sud tered a carriage, with Sheriff Cooper on bis left, while (he front teat was occupied by Rev. Dr. War ren, of Macau, and Editor Kersb, of Fort Valley, and Iho negro driver. The line of mareh was up through town and down across the railroad to the branch on the west side, where the gallows stood, and the one upm which two negroes paid the penaltj|forjmurd*r a few months ago. ATTnE OALLOWS. Woolfolk allghtrd.and with a Arm and ao ** elastic step entered the- Inclosed clrale, and ... steps he tripped very gracefully. Here a short prayer of stoat one or two minutes each was offered to the Throne of Grace, Aral by Dr. Warns, then by Rsr. Morehouse, nod next by Rev. Breuton, and then • most fervent PRAYER BY WOOMTOI.K which I am unable to report verba tim, but was In substance to the Creator to "take In His charge his Immortal soul, and wash Its* white as Miiow" sud "comfoit sisters who have suffered untold mg* ouies from this circumstance, and ask of thee Oh, Lord, more thau ask of man—mercy, ameul” Dr. Warren then read . HIB LAST STATEMENT: "I. Thos. G. Woolfolk, realize the solemnity of the occasion, and wltbadu* appreciation of my ap proaching death, and feeling that I must this day stand at the Judg- mentbar of au All-Wise God, who reads all the sacrets of our hearts, do solemnly protest abd affirm that I am Innocent of the crime of kill ing my father, or any members of his family, and that I do not know anything of the party or partlea who did commit the crime. (Signed.] Thos. G. Woolfolk.” THE BLACK CAI*. was then produced, his limbs pin ioned by a cotton rope, and In aoswerto a question by Dsputy Sheriff Riley, ho said: "You have treated me all right,” and to Editor Kersb, of Fort Valley, he said: May God bless you all.” THE DROP fell at 1:31, and the grass rope that did the work, turned to the right cheek, which prevented the six and a half feet fall from breaking the neck. There were but few quivers In the body, and at 1:43, twelve minutes from ths drop, Drs. L. A Felder and C. R. Mann, wbo were the legal attendants, claimed a cessation of the pulse, but as the breast had made three distinct heaves they held on, and at the expiration of 80 mlnutM, Dr. Mann said he’ clearly felt a revival of pulsation. But at o’clock, 88 minutes from the drop, he was cut down, and placed In a very next coffin and was turned over , to Dr. Fleetwood and hla brother-In-law, Mr. Cowan, of Kawklnsvllle, where the body was taxon by back and will be Interred In a private lot in the cemetery to morrow. .

ATLANTA, Oct. 20.—A unique case was rt ported to the penitenti ary authorities to-day. A negro named Gus Hall escaped from the eonviet camp in Montgomery coun ty, Friday last. He had served only one year of n fifteen year sen tence for rape. All efforts to track him failed, and the search was fi nally abandoned. Monday morn ing be quietly walked Into the camp and surrendered. He ex plains he bad n s Ided of leaving for good, but merely went to see hla folks In Washington county.

The Boston Herald says: "The applause was never surpassed the close of fhe speech of any Speaker In old Faneull Hall. 1 And the. other papers of the Hub, and those of New York are no !• enthusiastic. The pride of Americus, of Geor gia, of the Mouth, and the Demo- oratlo party returned from his New England trip with fresh laurels added to that magnificent wreath woven for him by his talents, aud which be so richly deserves. In New York and Boston he made speeches for his party, both being masterpieces of oratory and logic, and received with the moat enthu siastic applause. And applause not only of* the speech as a speech, but also of tba ailments expressed and the man who expressed them. That he gained many votes for the party and did a world of good for the Democratic cause caunot be doubt ed when bis speeohes, full of the soundest reasoning and invincible thunder of logio, are read. Mrs. Crisp accompanied her hus band, and returned with him yes terday. Thursday night waa a wet one in Now York, but the ardor of the Democrats was not dampened in the least, and according to the New York papere, the bnlldlng was packed until not another man could enter. From there be went to Bos ton, speaking Raturday night. Ae In New York, the hall was over full, aud the papers of the olty all devoted a page to the occasion next day, eaoh mention lug our Congress man In the moat complimentary terms, and as "the aallent figure on a platform heavy with prominent Democrats.” His speech Is printed In full, and nearly all of the article Is glvsn to this and to high praises upon the speaker. AU In all It was a regular tri umphal tour, and Judge Crisp fig ures more now, if poeelble, than over as the leading Democrat. Inspeaklngof hla trip to Tub Recorder yesterday, he expreeeed himself as being delighted with the treatment he received, and hie whole trip. "The hearty applause,” raid be, "was of course vsry gratifying, and was so spontansous as to ahow the audlsnoe was |fi sympathy with ms heart and soul. In Boston espec ially, the people were very enthusi astic, and I don’t think J was ever welt received,” ’Well, how about the measures you tonehed upon "Every one of tbevlews expressed seemed to suit them. Of oourae, I mentioned the force bill, and gave theoplnlonof theBoutb In regard totbelnlqulto^imeaeure.* It wae well racelved and oheered, as wsre other parte of my speeeh. "On the tariff’queetlon they are mostly Interested Just now, and to this I devoted the greater part of my speech. They see what they have to pay for goods now, as com pared to before the McKinley bill was made a law, and Che stand they are taking ts a ears sign of tho futare prosperity of the Democrat ic party. Never, In wj opinion, have we been on a firmer footing, and aueceaels assured.” The speeches made are excellent, and well worth anyone’s time to study them. The tariff question Is plainly pot. and shows a perfect familiarity with the subject Ic all Its details. Thatoiir congressman is a great and able man, ha* long besn known to ths people, and this last trip puts him forward as by all odds the man of hie party. All delight to do him honor, and Americus is filled with pride at being the home of "the greatest Democrat of them all.” The Amerlcua Telephone change Is in a most prosperous con dition, and Mr. John D. Easterly^ superintendent of this division, ex pressed himself as being delighted with the growth.* He arrived In the city yesterday morning, and made a thorough In spection of the Hoe. The switch board now In use will run only one hundred subscribers, and ninety-eight are already on the list, with more being added dcily. Another board will have to be put In, and Mr. Easterlyn promises to have It in position in a few days, This will give the exchange a ca pacity of one hundred and fifty subscribers.
