' To th> Editor of tho Telegraph:
jylew of the several fncorrect accounts
of the last Illness and death of my
(husband, and In Justice to nli parties
concerned, I desire to be allowed to
make a statement of tiro facts as they
tioumly occurred connected with the
severed operation* which were per
formed upan.hlm and which rciultcd in
(his doaifh.
He began complaining on Tuesday
and on Thursday we sent for Our fa nr
ily phyaleian. Dr. J. C. Johnson, who
came down *to the Jail in response to
our message, but after coming refused
to either nee my husband or to pre
scribe for him unless we would pay
liim $10 In ca*h, which wo were unublo
to do at • r he time. On Thursday, later
In the day, Dr. Worsham, rhe county
physician, carno down and performed,
or tried 'to perforin, un operation, which
3ie said was necessary. After workPng
for a great time, and causing my hus
bund exoruckwing pnln without Any re
lief or benefit, and after literally butch
ering him, ho finally desisted, and on
the next morning, Friday, he returned
in company with Dr. Ferguson for the
purposo of performing a muoh more
delicate operation. My husband had
suffered so intensely from the other
operation, not only whllte it was 1n
progress, but during -the entire night
following It, Ihht he refilled to allow
him to have anything further to do
with him. und said that he preferred
to die rnthvr than have them operate
on him aguln. 1 cannot find words to
descube the horror and cruelty of the
oporatfon attempted by Dr. ’Worsham,
nut suftlclrtitly strong to convoy any
accurate Idea of the Intense agony my
p>or husKind was tn during the prog
ress of It, or whVit the suffered as a di
rect consequence of It up to the very
moment of his death. He was perfectly
willing, and. In fUct, anxious, to have
2>r. Huberts of Sandersvlllo, who 1*
confined in Jail, perform the operation,
but he hud no InstruniH'nts, und Dra.
"Worsham and Ferguson refused to
loan him theirs. Drs. Worsham ami
IVrgussm then applied to Judge Harde
man for an order requiring my hus-
band *to Submit to their troutment, and
authorising them to make the opera
tion by force, which application was
very promptly refused.
Knowing fh:U my. husband then In
o very dangerous condition end likely
to die gt any time, I applied by the *.vtd
and through the kindness of my hus-
1*»nd’s urtorntya. Messrs. Grace trad
Jones, to Dr. Etheridge, and begged
him as an not of humanity, mating to
him t’hat w* had no money and could
not get any, to make my husband a
visit and try and relieve him. In re-
aponse to earnest sollctlaiUmi, tti.l tvKh
no hope of reward. except that which
any icon receives from his own con
science after an act of charity, he came
to the J «:1 at once and very kindly and
tenderly examined my husband and
left Instructions wffh Dr. Robert* its to
treatment during the night, and also
left with him toon* instrument* to «.«»

like Dr. Etheridge, without reward or
the hope of It, und perfumed a tem-
jionary operation, which very grea'tly
relieved -my husband and gave him the
first reift he hud In days.
On account of the manner In whl-ch
the operaafon on Thursday Wad been
performed by Dr. ‘Worsham K became
necessary on Sunday for a dangerous
and dehtnge operation to be made. The
first operation by Dr. Worsham had

this operation at another portion, of the
hotly, and accordingly Drs. Etheridge,
Jackson, Barron and Peete oame down
und Dr. Jackson performed thb opera
tion. Dr. Roberts was also present,
and I feel perfectly satisfied that every
thing was done thh't ev$ry precaution
was used tli ut could be used to save
Mr. Jones* life. That they could have
mved him but for the operation at
tempted by Dr. WorsWafn before they

ANECDOTES FROM THE GERMAN,
One day Hayden uuil Moztirt tvere
talking (itout music. Then said Mo
zart: 1
“Fi-lond Hayden, I will write notes
which you ciiuuot play.”
“tioT said llaydea, and laughed.
"Yes," unswered Mozart, "uud 1'
give u buttle of wlue il you pluy all I
write; bbt U you hunuut play ail then
you must give the wine tu me.”
“Uood,” said Hayilen.
Then Mozart wruto only a few notes.
Hayden took the sheet of music, sat
himself before Uie pa no uud began to
play. The left hum! must play deep
buss notes; the right hand must nt the
same time play In highest treble. Rut
there was one note for the middle reg
ister.
•'Oho!” cried lluydi-U. ”1 luiven'i
three hands; this note In the middle
register I cannot play."
“Hut I call,” said Mozart. Wltere-
HPM ho sat himself before the porno,
played above with the right hand, lie-
low with the left, and the note in the
middle—wltU hts noae. Hayden g-tvo

Karl thought far more of himself than
His bristlier was ouly
blllly Onve been avoided could those
gonilemen have seen my husband In
•time. Mr. Jones believed, and so
suvied to me, HUM he stood cl very poor
chance to recover, notwlthsiarullngthe
best medloo-l treatment, after Dr. Wor
sham left him on Thursday, and he
understood and appreciated to the full,
aat extent the awful situation In which
ho was placed by reason of the opera
tion attempted by Dr. Wortham.
I wish to say that Mr. Birdsong was
os attentive mid kind os It was possible
for Mm to be. both to my husband n-nd
myself, and his courtesy -to me nnd my
little daughter will be remembered nnd
cherished by us when many other
things shall have long since been for
gotten.
I .have deemed It umveeevory tn this
nrtlole to refer to the offense with
whlth Mr. Jones stood charged, and
the perfeot confidence he entertained
of an acquittal when brought to the
bar of public Justice, and had nil th,
fsets been made known tn an upright
nnd Intelligent and impsrttal Jury of
Ms countrymen. This feeling of confi
dence was with him before he was
stricken down and when 1n full posses
sion of -all hts facilities, and remained
wi-th him and served to comfort nnd
console him in the hour when the
finger of death rested close upon his
heart, hi the last thought that hts
wotry mind bestowed upon the transi
tory struggles of life.
