On* of the most startling stories
yet printed In connection with the Tel
fair county land troubles appeared in
the Telegraph yesterday morning un
der JhoRae date.
The killing of Mr. Lucius L. Will-
tarns' had been expected In view of the
boasts to the United States deputy
marshals that he would never be token
olive on the warrants Issued for him.
The ptory from McRae stated that
Mr. ■Williams was shot by Deputy
Marshals Kelley and the two Garrison
brothers, while the old man was sleep
ing on the front stoop of his son's
house. It wtis also reported that the
deputies continued to riddle the house
with bullets, after the old man was
htiplorely wounded and lay almost
lifeless, soaking in Ms own blood, nev
er having had any warning, and hav
ing been given no opportunity to sur
render. The pleadings of the helpless
women In the house, who were fright
ened almost to death, were said to
have availed nothing; the marshals
firing a regular lusllode Into the
hoimc, narrowly missing an Infant sit
ting on the floor In one of She rooms.
John M. and Steve Williams, two
sons of L. L. Williams, were arrested
at the -time. The markka la brought
them «o iMdeon, leaving L. L. Will-
tains In what they supposed a dying
condition. On the same train came Mr.
M. Alllgood, sheriff of Telfair coun
ty. He -brought warrants charging the
three deputies with murder. The war
rants wore served yesterday morning.
Tho deputies applied lo Judge Spoor
and obtained a writ of habeas corpus.
They were then placed In custody of
Marshal dlorrell, to be orougM before
Judge Spoor Friday mooting.
The court will hear evidence front
both sides Friday morning. If he de
cides itihat the marshals killed L. L.
Williams wdUiuut good grousds, they
will be bound over to answer the
charge of murder In the Untied States
court, or Judge Speer may decide to
allow them to 'be tried on tho warrants
by the superior court of Telfair county.
The deputies are amenable to cither
count If found guilty.
Opinion Is yet divided as to whttt
course will be pursued It Judge Speer
turni the deputies loose—« being be
loved toy somo authorities that the
sherlf* of 'Telfair county will have a
right to roarreet the olllcers und tako
them bock to hts county (or a hearing
in Che stats court.
THE STORY OF THE MARSHALS.
The deputy marshals tell an entirely
dlfTeivm story about the killing.
Old mail Williams was the great
uncle of the two Harrisons—R. L. nnd
Cbocn. V
A Telegraph reporter had the follow
ing Interview with Chocu Garrison yes
terday:
"What la your aide of the story?”
"Well, I am kin to the old man, nnd
Ihtte the occurrence very much. He Is
my mother's awn uncle, and I never
would hove had anything to do wftb It.
but my Hfe was la danger. The ohl
man Was always a dangerous charac
ter, doing Just as he pleased, and no
body dared Interfere with him. Some
time ago brother and 1 bought a piece
of land from A man who had bought
the same kind from Uncle Lush. Tho
man couldn't make us a Balls factory
title nml -we canceled the trade. We
afterward bought hie same hind from
tho Dodge Company, having faith in
the Dodge titles to It. Uncle Lush got
mad with me shout It nod drew his
gun on me. I expected to be shot dead,
but fortunately hts son John knocked
the gun aside nnd prevented his father
from killing me at that time. As they
got the ohl man Uway, he said: 'I'll
kill both of them If I have to take n
sack of rations and stay In the woods
until the moss grows on my back six
Inches long.' I know Uncle Lukh would
execute hla Hirctlt. He always did. nnd
we*eft atraht ot anything In inc world.
I was afraid to Htuy at home, and slept
In the wood* until we got n chance to
help Mr. Kelley arrest hhn. Uncle
Lush ran* us. and ho allot at Mr. Kel
ley and Kelley shot lit him last FYId.ty
four weeks ago. We were then watch
ing for him In hts swamp hiding-place.
He got away after tiring the one
shot. Cousin John Williams' mile chil
dren saw us more than once with Mr.
Kelley, and everybody around there
knew we were after tho old man.
"He was wanted by the stale courts
for forging land titles, but no effort
was made to arrest him."
"Did you shoot wtitle the old man
was asleep!'
"Why, heavens, man, no! That's the
most outrageous charge I ever heard
made against anybody. I would rather
shoot myself than to shoot a sleeping
Mu. Wo had been watching around
Cousin Johnnie’s house severs! days,
hoping to (titch the old man away
from where the women folks were; but
he was t6o Shy. Monday we decided to
|M up on him at the house. Brother
Robert slipped up the back way. und
Mr. Kelley and I crawled on our hands
and knees several hundred yards, keep
ing always a little shanty between the
old man and us.
"We «"t up to the Hstle house, nnd
saw- old man Lucius and, I think, John
lying -out on the front rtaxza. There
was also a woman out there- I didn't
notice who she wue. John Kelley
strived out from behind the shnnty
and I stood by bis side. We both raloe-l
our guns. Kelley »1M In his loudest
voice:
" 'Gentlemen, get up!'
"Unde I.ueh raised up on his 'hunk
ers like' and brought up his rifle with
hhn. Kelley said:
" 'Put down that gun! Drop that gun,
Mr. Williams. Drop It, I say; I've got a
warrant ter you. Drop the gun and
give up. raid nobody'll be hurt!’
"Unde Lush raised his gun gradual
ly fowdrd Ills shoulder .end began back
ing toward tho hall doorway. Mr. Kel
ley saw who* was coming, and hailed
to the woman to run Into the house,
t didn't eve wli.lt bivame i-.-usin
Johnnie; he told me coming up to MU.
con that he crawled Into tbs house,
duet lie Undo I.ueh reached t*S door
way, he made a motion to put his gun
In position. Almost simultaneously he
and Kelley fired. I prav the blood sput
ter against the wall by the oW man's
bead, Kelley's gun wn* loaded with
buckshot. Tfloy bad taken effect In the
old man's face.
"Uncle Lush then ran Into a room
nnd I didn't see hhn anji more for sev
eral minutes. Soar other man— T
couldn't Identify him because of the
curtains—appeared ot a front window.
Mr. Kelley tired o. load of buckshot at
him, one of which was found In the
stock of Cousin Johnnie's 32-Wlncbe*-
tcr rifle whan It was turned over to
us. Cousin Jotinn'K however, declares
!ia.t he_dld not shoot, or attempt to
use -hie gun. Mr. Kelley about this
time iuns**.te<j /feat the men wera
making their way serous tin- ll-M at
right singles from Brother Robert. A
ladder stood near us and led up to the
top of the bouse. Kelley ascended this,
and looked over, but, seeing no one,
he descended. Just as he reached the
ground Uncle Lush surprised Us by fir
ing from around the corner of the
bouse. He had to expose enough of hts
•body to Kite us a target. I opened up
on him und iw did Mr. Kelley. The okl
man got in four shots from tills place,
end Kelley shot twice. The old man
fell, and we Wien for the first time
heard the 'Women In the house calling
to US!
" ‘Don't shoot any more; oar men
will give iipl'V
“Mr. Kelley (then said; 'All right,
there will be no more shooting.’
The women brought out the guns,
and we took charge of John and Steve
Williams. We were given a S2 caliber
Winchester rifle, a double-barrel
breech-loading shotgun ana a 44-callber
Colt's pistol. The servant girl went out
and picked up the gun from the old
■man's side, and turned it over to us.
It was a liter Winchester, and
had been fired five times.
“I am sorry Jt happened, tout nobody
can blame us. The lives of my brother
and myself were In danger all the
time, and It was to ail appearances
useless to try to capture the old man
alive. 1 iwoulnd't have cared to get
him amnay from there If I hadn't been
afraid for my owa life. Nobody ever
thought more of ft man than I think
of Cou3ln Johnnie."
Tho other Mr. Garrison told ot a
duel he had -wttb old man Williams aft
the side window. Garrison had ap
proached the window to within about
thirty-five yard*. He saw the curtain
raise arid recognised old man WMlInms.
The old maw threw up the sash about
six Inches nnd stuck out bis guh. Gar
rison says he tired and Hie old man
dodged behind the facing. Tilts was
repeated six times, Garrison firing four
Shots with Ids Winchester repealing
shotgun and Twice witfti a pistol.
Deputy Marshal Kelley tells about'
the same story, apparently having no
fear as to the outcome ot the trial on
Friday. He brought In the guns raid
Pistol captured at t!he time. These will
be used In evidence.
Upon leaving She scene of the trage
dy, the officers say, they met T. Jack
Williams, who Is now under a *13.1)00
bond to the United Skates court, old
man L. L. ami the three sons—John,
Stove and T. Jack—being Charged with
killing tlhe negro Young on one of the
Dodge lots. Mr.' Kelley said to T.
Jack:
"Mr, Williams, I've shot your fa
ther."
Mr. Willisima expressed deep sorrow,
but little surprise, the marshals say;
nnd Kelley deputised him -to take
Charge ot tlhe old man, nisi try to re
store him, but the last lnfatrm'ivtSon
received hv the court officers was that
the old -Irian refused to allow T. Jack
to send for medical aid. saying he was
going to tflo anyhow. Mr. Kelly wont
ed to talk wRh Mr. L. L. ■'VVIlHflme,
but the old gentleman sent word ‘.hat
he was going to die, nnd dldn't-wuirt
to see Anybody.
The deputies say tha t John end (Steve
WimaniH’ testimony about the shoot
ing will acquit them of nmy sensational
charges. u
L. L. WILLIAMS IS IWJAI)>
The following -was received at ii' late
hour lust night:
•McRae, illay 21.—(Special.)—L. L.
Williams, who was shot by deputy
marshals yesterdaiy svlhlle lie lay sleep
ing on bis son's piazza, died this after
noon. There were elgl»ty-one , bullets
shot Into the house, and tlie great
wonder Is that any women and Chil
dren escaped death. Williams! .would
have surrendered, If the urn rail Ms hid
wllle on him to do so. ns he had of-
focted an amicaiMo settlement With
Mr. Dodge, through Dodge's represen
tative, Capt. John A. Phillips, of. the
land troubles between them, out of
which grew the* criminal dnsges In
the United States court, and was, as
sured by Cbpt. Phillips that Mr. Dodfee

HOFFMAN'S PICTURES.
The Stereopftlcon Sltow at Chrlrt
Church Tomorrow Night.
A beautiful entertainment will be
given tomorrow night, commencing at
8 o'clock, at Christ church chapel, con
taining of stereopatoon views ot Hoff
man's pictures of the Life of Christ, ac
companied with appropriate reading)
and .Instrumental and vocal music by
choir of Qhrlst church. This entertain
ment was announced for Friday night,
but for neceesary reasons bos been
changed to Thursday night. The same
entertainment was given two weeks
ago, but at that time, owing to una
voidable contingencies, the musical
programme was incomplete. This time
k is hoped that nothing will prevent
the entertainment from being as com
plete and beautiful as It promises to
be. Hoffman's pictures arc celebrated
for their singularly beautiful concep
tion ot CArtst's face and sympathetic
insight Into the swcotness and tender
ness of His character. The music Is
muoh of It from Handel's great orato
rio of the Messiah. Including some of
Its most beautiful solos; and la there
fore especially appropriate as an ac
companiment tor three pictures.

FASTEST TIME EVER MADE.
One ot the Royal Blue Line trains of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, on a re
cent run between New York ^nd Wash
ington, covered a mile In 33H seconds, as
recorded by a mechanical Indicator. At
this rate train traveled fit the phenome
nal speed of s trifle over a mile and a
halt a minute, or over ninety miles &a
hour, which surpasses nil previous rec
ords of fast time. If the speed were
maintained the time between New Yoric
snd Washington would be reduced with
out stops to two hours and a half, and
with stops to three hours. Five hours
is now the fastest time between the two
cities, and is made dally by the Royal
Blue Line only.
