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, EFFECT ON AUDITORS. During the delivery of the statement oomplete silenfce rfeigned, and when rite VOL.

On Wednesday last he was bitten by a carrion fly on the left corner of the mouth. His blood was poisoned, and a disease known as “eharbon’ en-ued. Toe theory ot the case is that the fly had been sucking the juice of some diseased animal or car rion, and inoculated him with the poi son. His face aud head swelled to an enormous site, and his face beoame dis colored—black and purple. On Thurs day night he became insensible, aud last nigh he died. rs.
