DAWSON. GEORGIA. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1878.
A Rfiiistrkable C;t- .
At a recent term of the Harris coun
ty Superior court, a white man named
Dowdel L. Adames was put upon trial
for the murder of a peddler named
Henry Barber.
The killing occurred in April last.
The body of Barber was found in the
Chattahoochee river, under the Bridge
at Columbus with a bullet hole through
the head. Many witnesses were intro
duced at the trial who, among other
things proved that Barber was a high
tempered and overbearing man, so much
80 that a livery stable keeper in Tuske
gee, Ala, refused to board his horses
during his stay in that place, and that
the prisoner, Adams, had always borne
a good character. The following state
ment of the prisoner, which we copy
from the Columbus Enquirer , gives all
tne facts necessary to an understanding
of the ease. "On this statement he was
promptly acquitted
Barber went under the name of Love
while peddling.
'dams had never denied that he
killed Barber, hut claimed self de
fense
prisoner’s statement.
After the testimony had been closed
on both sides, <"V>l Blandford, of coun
sel for the defendant, arose and stated
to the court that the defendant desired
to make his statement At once, all
yes were turned with eagerness to
wards the y ung man. He advanced
to the witness' s+and, took a chair, and
in a calm and distinct voice proceeded
as follows :
I was living with my uncle in Maeon
county on a farm. After living there
awhile, about two years—upwards of
two years—he rented his farm out an :
came to Tuskegee, where he went into
business selling mules. I came with
him. He gave me employment as trav
eling through the country with mule
-piling them. About April this ma
Love came to Tuskegee. The time for
selling mules had about stopped : ev
rybody that wanted to buy had bought
T was about out of employment Lev •
f old me that he was traveling throng
C . |
the country for pleasure, and expected
to go to Florida—to travel over the
State of Florida, and if he liked, but
him an orange grove in Florida,-and
wanted me to go with him as a ; ravel
ing companion. He also agreed to pay
me II 500 a month for m services.
We left Tuskegee, and instead of his
going to Florida he went in the direc
tion of Auburn, Ala., which was north
east, I think. I asked him his reasons
for doing it. was going
to Florida. He told me he had to go
through Lee county on business, and
would go to Florida in a few days. We
staid all night with a man in Lee coun
ty: I forget what the man’s name was;
don’t know that I would know it if 1
were to hear it called. We stopped
there the first night. The next morning
he tried to sell a drug to this man to
prevent kerosene oil from exploding
That was the first time I knew that he
had any business. I didn’t know his
drug—though i. was what he represent
ed it to be. That day at 12 o’clock
we stopped with a man named Hr. Pe
ters, in Lee county, Ala. He there
sold Dr Peters the right to Muscogee
county, Ga., and Lee county, Ala , and
a lot of his drugs. He made other sales
in Lee county, Ala , and then w - cross
ed over into Georgia and stayed all
night with a man by the name of Ram
sey. We went over to Mr. Jenkins’,
there he sold 3lr. Jenkins the right to
Muscogee county. After leaving there
he asked me why I didn’t assist him in
selling, that I was doing him no good.
T told him I didn’t propose to do so, I
knew nothing about his drug and didn’t
want to have anything to do with it,
and asked him why it was that he sold
the same county to different parties, as
I knew that he sold the county of Mus
cogee to a man in Alabama, and asked
him a great many questions coneerning
of it, when he told me that so far as the
drug was concerned, that it was nothing
hut salt and there was no more virtue
in it than there was in that much dirt,
and as for the firms he was representing,
there was no such firms; and also his
reasotas for not selling in cities and
towns, as he had told me, he would nev
er sell in towns, that his drug weuld be
analyzed and they would find out what
it was and arrest him.
We got into general conversation,
when he told me a part of his history
—of his life traveling. He said he had
once belonged to a circus and traveled
with it, and that also he had once got
ten into a difficulty in Virginia, where
he had to give a bond—he was arrested
and gave bond to the amount of over
$3,000. He forfeited the bond and
never appeared at court. He went out
to some of the Western States where he
got into a difficulty, resulting in bis
having to kill a man, he left there i
came South, where he had been selling
his drugs ever since. During this
time it was raining We got between
Mr. Jinkins and Mr. Foster’s. After
this occurred I was driving along aud
heard a pistol fire somewhere near be
hind me. It frightened me and the
horses. I turned and looked and he
had a Navy-six pistol in his hand. He
asked me if it scared me. I told him it
did. He fired it again outside of the
carriage, and says “that’s whaf lakes
them in,” and put it down in his valise,
hat was’sitting between the two seats
in the foot of the buggy. 3Ve went on
until we got to Mr. Foster’s. There
he got out aud went in. I tLint that
he met Mr. Foster at the front porcli—
the old man Foster. He talked with
him a while, and told me to bring in his
drugs. I took them in. He told Mr.
Foster his business and experimented
with his drugs, and Mr. Foster’s son
being off on the plantation somewhere
near by, he insisted that Mr Foster
should give us dinuer and also send for
his son. Mr. Foster consented I
went back out to the carriage Love
came out au t told me that he expected
to ma .e a big 3ale there, and to ta e
the horses out and p*ut them up, and
fter that I took the horses out, and
old min Foster went arouud to the lot
with me. Love went into the house.
While we were there Mr. Foster told
me that his horses had had the distem
per, hut was about well, and that there
was a trough in the far side of the lot
*ha‘ I could feed in t’ a he never used.
[ took the horses around and fed them,
md while 1 was cleaning the horses u;
Love eame to where I was and ordered
.ne to ta' e the horses out of the lot n
a very rough manner. I done so, and
near the lot gate was a shelter. I
in it was a two-horse wagon with
he body on under there He too the
wagon by the coupling jxde a I pulled
ut the bac end from under the shel
ter, and told me to put in new feed and
feed them in the wagon body. I done
so. By that time dinner was ready
and we went in, aud by this time the
young man, Foster, had come. He
went in and told him his business, and
experimented with his drugs, and
told me to hitch up his horses. I done
so In a few minutes he came out, and
instead of coming ’rough the gate he
put his hand on the fence and jumped
over and got in the carriage and told
me to drive on.
We drove but a short distance from
there when he said some few words—l
don’t remember theremark—concerning
the horses an ! he accuse l eliing
•Ir Foster soin tiling about his drugs.
I told him I did not, but it seemed to
be impossible to make him believe but
what I had told Mr Foster Something
aboul his drugs After leaving Mr.
Foster’s we come to another cross road
where we took the left hand. We had
gone but a short distance after wo took
this left hand road when we passed by
a house and there was a man standing
at the front gate with his horse saddle i.
He was on the far side of the horse and
as we drove up he walked around to
wards the carriage. 1 spoke to him
and drove on. We went some dis’ance
beyond there, I don’t remember how
far, when we came to a very rough and
muddy hill I staried to drive down
the hill without locking the carriage,
when he made me stop the carriage and
get out to lock it. There was a strap
and a chain underneath the carriage
that I used for locking the wheel. The
strap, being very wet and muddy, it
was hard to unbuckle.
Well, I was trying to unbuckle it;
he jumped out of the carriage and jerk
ed it out of my hand, aud told me I
was too damned clow about it, aud ev
ery one he had had. I told him to
lock it himself. I got in the carriage
and drove down to the bottom cf the
hill. lie walked to the bottom of the
hill and unlocked the carriage, getting
his hands very muddy. He went to
the edge of the branch to wash lis<
hands. He then came back and got in
the carriage in a very angry manner,
cursing about the mud. VVe drove on
some short distance, and there was some
little negroes standing by the side of the
road, very ragged. He said to me,
“That’s the reason that you damn
Southern people don’t prosper any more
than you do ; It’s the way you treat
the black nan.’’ I asked him, “What
more are you doing ? You are trying to
cheat white men and black men ” He
told me it was none of my damn busi
ness ; that so far as the vhitc man was
concerned, he would cheat him out of
the cloths on his back, and told me I
was like all the rest that had been with
him; that I knew a damn sight more
about bis businoss than he did. He
cursed me, called me a damned betray
ing scoundrel, and cursed me several
times—called me a son of a Ditch and
told me to get out of the carriage. I
tried to tell him as soon as I can get to
some place where I cou’d get back
home. At the same lime he reached
down to his valise—his valise was sit
ting between the two seats —and says
“Damn you, Iv’e got something that
will put you out,’’ and slided the catch
es from his vali e ; his pistol was in
there and 1 was afraid to get out for
fear he would shoot me. I turned tin
lines loose and cocked my own pistol in
my own pocket, aud as he raised with
his pistol out of his valise I turned to
the left, my left sidewise to him on
the seat I was sitting on. As he was
raking up I heard the pistol kocked. 1
threw my pistol over right at his head
and fired. At the firing of the pistol
befell backwards on the seat he was
sitting. 1 fell across the seat that I
was sitting on; the horses made a
plunge, jumped forward. I got up as
soon as I coul.i aud caught one of the
lines that was hanging on the dashboard
and pulled the horses across the road.
1 jumped out of the carriage and caught
the other line and got the horses quiet.
I came back to the carriage as soon as
I could, aud saw Love struggling in
dea’h; the blood was running from Ilia
face. I pulled my handkerchief out of
my poc' et and ried to wipe it away. I
saw he was dead cr dying be bivathed
once or twice. I was in a strange
country : didn’t know who to go to—
hardly knew what I was doing. I got
in the carriage and drove cn for some
short distance : don’t remember how bir
hardly, when I decided that I had bet
'or try to get back to Coluinbns or
somewhere back that wav. 1 knew
that I had to fix some way to keep him
from falling out. I took his valise and
put his head on the hack seat and his
valise under it and leaned his feet upon
the front seat and let down the curtains.
His boots were wet and muddy ; I had
a part of my clothing on the front seat,
was sitting there myself T pulled the
boots off and laid them down inside of
the carriage and I traveled on for a
short distance and when I came to the
Columbus road, thinking 1 was right, it
was cloudy and had been raining. I
took the wrong end of the road. I
had gone some distance—l don’t re
member how far—when the sun shone
out ad 1 saw from the direction 1 was
going, that I was on the wrong end of
the ro..d. I turned bac and made
some inquiries; they gave me directions.
I traveled on and found the roads very
rough and muddy and my horses be
came jaded some ; night overtook me ;
it was dark and raining; I w'as not ac
quainted with the raads; I found it al
most impossible to drive—some places
I had to get out and lead the horses.
I got to Columbus at 12 o’clock at
night, I ♦kink. When I got there T
became so alarmed I knew noth
ing—l didn’t know who to go to to de
liver the body and didn’t know who to
go to to make a statement, or whether
my statement would be believed, nor
what would be done with me When I
decided that I had belter try to get to
Tuskegee, Ala: I started a.ivs.i the
bridge—seeing no one on the bridge
there. I had been riding with a corpse
all the evening—l decided to get rid of
the corpso at any cost. When I took
tho c rpse out his watch fell out of his
pocket. I noticed it. I took the things
off of his person in order to give an ac
count for them. I threw the body into
the river I hadn t driven off the
bridge before I realized the foolishness
of the act that I had done ; but it was
too late; I could not alter it; I
had done thrown it in —no chance to
get it I drove on, and the more I
thought of it the more the alarm be
came, until I was almost crazy I de
cided, though, that I would drive some
where near the Western Kaiiroad and
get someone to take the carriage and
valuables to Tuskegee and I would go
to father’s and mother’s, who lived
in Elmore oounty, and tell them what I
had done and get their advice what to
do I drove on to Auburn, Ala, olose to
tho town where I met a negro man, and
1 hired him to take the carriage horses
and carriage and things to Tuskegee.
I paid him two dollars out of my own
money, then I wrote a note to my un
cle, Mr. Oliver, in Tuskegee, the man
that l had been living with. I told
him that I had killed Love to save my
own life, as he was trying to kill me. I
took my valise, hat and a pair of boots.
I turnefi the other things over to tho i
negro to take to Tuakegee. I went to j
the depot in Auburn, Ala, there I took !
tne train and starrtod for home. I
met with parties on the road and told
them all the circumstance, what I had
done. Gentlemen, I have told you all
that l know about it,
