THf, MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPE: TUBSDaY MORNING, NOVEMBER 15, 1887--TWELVE PAfaES,
MAGGIE’S HORRIBLE STORY.
HOW SHE SAW A MURDER COMMIT
TED AT NIGHT.
Dors It Throw Light Upon th« Death ol
Robert Cook-The I’oor Woman'*
Experience -and the Sight
that Froae Her Speech.
Maggie Callaway it a white woman and
ehe is under aentenoe of IlCteeu days for
disorderly onduot. She waa locked np
Taesday night in a drunken eondition, and
yesterday, after a night's sleep, waa qnite
sober.
She has made a statement which may
or uay not throw light upon the man
ner in which the nofr rtuoate Robert P.
Cook met his death. Her story is a horri
ble one. bnt it was told in snch a straight
forward manner that one is inclined to
credit it, ctpcs'.aiiy a* she nnnld not read
the papers containing the account of the
findiog of the body, end the theories that
hare been published.
It will be remembered that the body of
Mr. Cook was fennd Sunday alternoon in
the rirer at a point nearly oppm
site the grand atand in the
park, and the body bore eridenee
of haring been in the water several days.
Undertaker Keating, who took obarge of
the body after the it quest, says be asw no
marks of rioience upon it, though there
tigate the manner in which the late Robert
P. Cook came to bis death, and ii in the
investigation they found it necessary, he
would bare the body disinterred that a
thorough medical examination might be
made. He thought that this should be
done, alter reading the aitiele in the morn
ing paper. The arttole alluded to was the
story of Maggie Galloway, the woman im
prisoned at the police b&rracka for disor
derly oonduct.
The story created mneh comment on tho
streets yesterday. 8 me donbted it and
Home believed it. Judge Gnstin's notion
in making it the anbjeot of a special charge
to the grand jury was universally approved.
If the story is nntrne and ao proven by the
investigation, it wil! set at rest the suspi
cion that the unfortunate man waa foolly
dealt with, end if t us the offioers will leave
no stone unturned to ferret out and bting
tho murderer <r murderers to justice.
A LKTTEB most HILLSBORO.
TbeTKLtaaspB yesterday received the
following letter turoughtlic mail:
Hii.fjmuRo. November 9.—Editors Tele

meat by decomposition would have con-
cenlcd it. But here is
haooie'h stout:
"I went on an errand to the home for
merly occupied by a woman named John
son. This bouse is on the bank of tbe
river near tbe park and just below the Cen
tral railroad kiidge. It was abont bed
time, I think, when I went there, and the
night waa very dark. There are steps
leading up to tho side and front of the
home, and I went up those ou the aide.
An I got to the door I suddenly
remembered that tbe woman had
moved from the home—I knew that she
bail moved before I went there, bnt 1
didn’t think of it until I got there, and it
looked as it God had sent me there to aoe
what I did ace—and I ran down tbe steps
badly frightened. Heaiiog voices, I stopped
tod saw between me and the river the
forms of three men. [The distance from
the homo to tbe water's edgn i* abont
thirty feet.] One of these men was a small
otic, and the others were tall, one being
taller than tbe other and wearing a black
moustache. The uther tall man was better
dressed than the others, and bo was ad
dressed as
DOB.
The taller man of the two waa ad
dressed at Jack. I did not hear
tho name of the smallest man
called. Jsok said to Bob that
ho had been following him long enough,
and nsed an oath. The small man kept
striking matches, and by tbe light I was
able to see something of their faoea. I was
near eoongh to spit on them, and yet they
did not seem to notice me. After talking
and coming for awhtlc, they made the man
oalled Bob give np some money. I know
he gave them some paper money, beoauae I
aaw him taka it from a book whioh he had
In Loro [indicating a breast pockelj and
then he geve them some silver, and this
looked like quarter dollars. I oonld only
seo them by tho matches which
the small man oontinued to
strike. Bob then said * something
abont having only two dollars and some
odd coots left, and then I saw tbe man
with the black monslaobe called Jack lift
his hand quickly, and with a long glitter
ing thing which looked to msliko a
BAOOINC NEEDLE,
though it might have boon a knife, stick it
Into the head of Bob. It looked to me as it
ha stack it into bis etr. I wss so fright-
entd tor a minute that I oonld not movo or
spank. When Bob was struck ha threw
both hands to hia head and dropped to tbe
B ound. The small man said 1 we will leave
m hare,' bnt the tall one add ‘no, we’ll
put him in the river,’ They then poshed
him heodforemo t into tie water.
By this- time I had re.
eovered control of myself and I started
awr.y a> fast is Aonld, and they started
after me. I looked back and saw thorn
ooming and heard them say something
about ‘that woman,' and I tell you a pack
of dogs oonld not have caught me. I ran
in ths direction ot town, and right through
the big culvert of the Central railroad and
never stopped until I got on tbe pUtform
of the Eaat Tennessee depo>. There waa a
big crowd at tbe depot and I got there just
as the aoeommodalton train going to Hawk
inaville, where I need to live, was rolling
up. I was ao badly frightened that I did
not get ovarii for some time, and I never
told anything abont what I bad seen.’*
now toe stodt Burn.
Maggie insists that this oocurred on Sat
urday night, becanaa “n<st day waa Sun
day," bnt it could nut have happened on
Saturday night beoin>a Maggie waa in the
barrack! at that time. She waa locked np,
so tho dooket shows, at 7:15 Thursday
nigh*, October 27, and wss not released un
til 11:30 Thursday morning, November
3. An sho was drunk on Thursday night
sbo baa probably gotten her days mixed.
According to the testimony of Mr. Henry
Finney, whose letter was published yester
day, he aaw and talked with Cook between
5 and 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, and
and that is the lait trace of him yet fonnd.
HU bat wat toned on Thureday morning, and
hence, if Maggie's story is true, tho tragedy
oocurred on Wednesday night, bhe fixes
the time by seeing th. accommodation train
Toiling np to the depot. Aceordltig to ths
train abeet ot the E.T.V.4 0. railroad
that train left Macon on tbe night of tbe
26tb at 9:56 wbieb may be considered aa
bed time. And one more point: what ahn
saw must have oeentred during fair week
aa the accommodation train ran only dur
ing that week; and even supposing that aba
xai wiong as to ihe train, the regular trail
on that night left at 10:33. not an nntunal
bed time.
DB1WIXO A CONCLUSION.
Tbe atory U not inconsistent except aa to
the diy, and that di crepancy can be
counted for by those who believe it, by ibe
fact that she waa drank the next day and
locked np.
Tbe affair whether It really occurred be
fore her eyes, or waa a horrible dream, cer
tainly made a deep impressed npon the
woman’s mind She relates it, even dosin
to tbe mlnnkat detail, without the least
hesitation.
Those who knew Mr. Cook, however,
esnnot well reconcile some of the foots.
He waa known to be as brave aa a lion,
fearing nothing aa he had otUn demon
strated while a gallant soldier, or in the
performance ot hia dntlea in peace unjee
as a sherilf. 1 hey will not believe that be
would permit two men, or aven a greater
numher, to take him to the looeiy bank of
the river sod rob him withont a show ot
XcstaUnee,
But the story U given to lha publie as

Tbe Grand Jury llsvelv.e a Sp trial Charge

Yesterday morning Judge Gcstin relied
tho grand jury in‘o the Superior G«tut
room end charged them specially to invtf
bank of the river on Thnnday. when Mr. Cook
vu seen Thun Jay or Friday alive and in good
health, on the street* of Macon. Why 1* hi* watch
mUslng? There anrely la a mystery that should be
cleared up. We believe that onr honored citizen
bae been foully dealt with. A majority of oar ci i-
zena do the principal part of their trading in your
?hey feel, should wrong happen any of a* in oar
lawful purault*, that the legal authorities both
Htate and municipal, ahould leave nothing undono
to ferret oat tbe guilty parties if any. Wcf feel that
it would give general satisfaction if the body of
Cook was disinterred for a careful examination. If

should be brought to juvtlce. The frienda of Mr.
Cook ask thftt the proper authorities oh

WHAT COBOXXB DODNETT SATS.
In reference to this letter Gorrnor Hod-
nett aay» that the jury of it q u»t did not
require ths presence of a puyeioian, and
hit ts not authorized by the law to have one
nniesa so required. He remembered the
watoh spok.n of in the letter, or rather he
notioed that Mr. Cook wore a heavy chain.
He says forth, r that he has not bean able
•o find anybody who saw him later than
Wednesday afternoon, although the letter
■peeks of his bsvlcg b en seen on the
streets Thursday or , Friday. He a ay a
also that he promptly re
plied to tbe letter of Ordinary Newman, of
Jasper county, asking after Mr. Cook
Aa to the statement that Mr. Cook's
olothing w.s not removed to ascertain
whether there were any ma*ks of violence
ou bis person, Undertaker Keating aays the
olothing was removed and there waa not a
pinscratch on the body, exespt on the face
which ha thinks waa caused by the expos-
urn oat ot the water.
Now that tbe grand jury has taken the
mutter in hand, tha true faots of this mys
terious death will probably come out.
WOOLFOLK SEES HIS WIFE.
Their Meeting at the Jail Yesterday—No
Morn Visitors to be Allowed In.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Byrd and daughter,
Mrs. Tom Wool'o'.k, were in the dtyyester-
Ur. Byrd vialled the jsllslonesbont noon,
and held a short oonvetsalion with Tom
Woolfolk, the prisoner. Their meeting wss
ot a pleasant oharaoter, very little being
said by elth«r. Woolfolk expressed a de
sire to see hia wife, and Mr. ltyrd said they
would call in the afternoon. Us afterward
■aw Captain H. T. Johnson and requested
r im to go to the jdl and be present at the
meeting.
Abont fonr o'clock Mra. Byrd and Mrs.
Woolfolk, accompanied by a young man,
were at the jail, where Captain Johnson
waa in * siting. Mrs. Byrd said aha did'
not think there was any impropriety in their
seeing Tom, and Mra. Woolfolk qniekly re
joined, "Of o.arse there isn't,” and then
Jailer Birdiong.who had almost worn him
■elf out attending to visiters,nit n loue l tlut
he was ready to pilot the party np suits.
Wire AND HUSBAND MEET.
Mrs. Bjrn was first to teach the door of
the oell in which ins prisoner was confined.
She said "Howdy, Tom," to which be re
sponded, "Howdy do.” hire, Woolfolk
then approaohed eui greeted him after ths
manner of her mother, aid Woolfolk
seemed glad to a-e her as ha immediately
asked ib« j filer to open the door. "I can’t
do tha', Tom," waa tho cautions official's re
ply, soil Woolfolk then began asking after
thehstlthol tho individual members of
tha family.
The conversation whioh followed was ot
ocunionpltd character, though the
prisoner stetued glad of the visit. He
said to bia mother-in-law, "I am rctnally
happier than I ever was in my life before,
bcotnso I have put my trust in Od " U.
told her and bia wife of his snffsring, bat
add he did not ears for it.
When tbe party oama down (fairs, Mra
Woolfolk and her mother had
TEAM IN TBEIE EIES,
and rermefi mnu-li aft cot, d by thelntetviaw.
The firmer said: "Hein tho oheerfnl
eat man I ever saw in prison." After rest
log a while and thanking CapL Johnson for
bia li .doesa in bting prestul, tbe iadt.s
left the j 31 and proceeded to h.a* t Macuo,
where in. ir teams were wot iog la take
them borne.
Juit before leaving Atlanta for Micon,
Woolfolk wrote a letter to his wile, and It
was placed in fonr Separate envulr.pt ■ The
eoctents of tbs l-t’er were, it is
■aid, an account ot a dream, bnt
di I not b’ar upon tbe crime. Mrs. Wool-
folk did not have the letter with her yes
terday.
Since Woolfolk waa bronght back to Ua-
ood, the jail baa been visited by a great
number ot people who have a curiosity to
■eebltt. Jailer Birdsong has been foroed
to pnt a atop to it, and now no one can see
the prisoner except hit e sunset. This step
baa been made neoessary, and no one need
now call at the jtil tor that purpose.
When it was announced at tho anion
depot yesterday morning that the night ex
press trom Albany, due in Maoon at nine
o'clock, was behind time, it was not known
that a frightful collision was the cause of
the delay. When the news came, tbe offi
cials of the road went down to the scene on
tho regular morning passenger out.
The city was filled with rumors concern
ing tbe acoident. One of ths trains in tb-t
oolliaion was that conveying the King &
Franklin ten cent circus to Colombo*, and
rumor had it that the lady who gave tbe
tight rope p-ifc rmancut, and several per
formers w.rs killed and in
jured. The true particulars
oonld nottelearneduntil the nrriv.il at half
past 3 in tha alternoon of the passenger
train, which was dne at 9 o'clock in tho
morning.
SOW IT OCCUBBED.
Tha Coinmbns accommodation train
lores Maoon nightly at 9:15, bnt on
Wednesday night waa delayed because of a
wait on tbe drone, which gave a perform
ance on the coiner of Poplar and First
streets After the performance the tents
were taken down and ‘be traps hauled to
tbe depot, and this required considerable
time. At 1:25 the train polled out
from the niton depot with Con
doctor Dewberry in charge and Engineer
Mitchell on tho engine. After going into
the yard the conductor was prevented from
g fing ont by other tr-sight* coming in, and
did not leave Maoon nntil about 3:30. The
regular freight train, cf wbtcii Mr. Felix
Dongherty waa oondnetor and Mr. Glar. nee
Williams engineer, left at 5.30. On arriving
at Power.ville the accommodation stopped
for wood and waterand then pulled out tor
Fcrt Valley, abont eight miles distant.
THE FATAL TURN BACKWARD
When abont a mile trom tbe station the
engineer dfeided that he could not make
Fort Valley in time to clear tho track
for tho morning passenger, and stopped
his train and then proceeded
backwards. While thna hacking tbe freight
iruiu started out Item Powersvills and was
moving at the rate of twenty miles an
hoar when, rounding the carve, the tnti
nier fonnd himself npon the aoeommoda
tion train. He reversed biserghe, applied
the brakes and used the send ncx, bat be
saw tbe ooiiieion with the rear coach was
inevitable, and ho thought to save hia life
by jumping. He jumped, after making
every possible effort to save the train, and
was followed by his fireman, El Adams.
Then came
THE CRASH.
The rear ooscu ol the accommodation
train was the regular coach need, and next
to it wav tbe oircus sleeper. The only
passenger be,ides the circur people was
William Clay, representing the Krelbe
Lithographing Company, cf Cincinnati.
He had gone ont of the oar and was seated
on the steps between hie coach and the
sleeper, smoking a cigarette. In tho car
was Tim Hopkins, a member of tbo circus
band, who had left the sleep- r for a smoke,
and Conductor Dewberry. A* soon as they
heard tbe coming train blow, and looked
out to see its near approach, they opened
windows end sprang out.
The engine struck tbe aoach, and plowed
its big broad nose through it aa easily is a
plow going through the ground, parting the
car in the middle and throwing the aides
against tho embankments. The
smokestack and sandbnx were stripped
from tbe iaoomotive as if shaven off, and it
■topped before doing mnob damage to tho
«l,eper.
TOE DESTRUCTION.
When the or ear ran to tbo wreck they
fonnd yonog Clay seated npon the steps of
the sleeper. It wan at first thought that he
■at there looking upon tbe *v*pe, and it was
not until several minutes xrd-r that it was
dirojvercd be was dead. Hopkins waa
then found in a moat peculiar condition.
Wnen he j imped (com the cat he attempted
to scramble np tha emUnkount. but at
that moment tbe engine divided tbe oar and
tho aide tolling against ths embankment
caught him, inflicting severe internal in
juries He waa extricated from the painful
p< Mitlon m soon as possible and every re-
list within Ibe power ot three on tbe train
afforded him. He was plaocfi upon the
pen longer train, aa waa also the tody of
young Clay, and bronght to Maoon. Dr.
O. II. Hall, who went to the wreck with
Master of Tram Service Huge, attended to
him ou tbe train.
at the nose and he also received a contagion
under the eje. He complains ct feeling sore.
The Central railroad authorities tele
graphed the Kriebs Lithograph Company,
at Cincinnati, of the death of their repre
sentative and they replied that Mr. Par-
mcll, of that company, would leave Cincin
nati last night and reach here to-night for
the purpose of carrying tho remains home.
At a late honr last night Mr. Hopkins
was alive, bnt in great pain. There is bnt
little ifipe of hia recovery,
A COUPLE OF NOTES
Which Caused Jailer lllrdsong a Little Un
easiness Concerning Woolfolk,
The number cf people who go to the jail
to see Woolfolk was considerably less yes
terday than on sereral days previous, owing
to the announcement that he was compelled
to refuse to allow any more visitors. Those
who eallad did not see him.
A thorough examination of hia cell was
made yesterday morning. Ou tbe evening
before Jailer Birdsong came in possession
of tbe following note, which was banded
him by one of tbe prisoners in a different
portion cf the jtil:
Wovlfolk has cut In two non of tbn entails Irons,
and he says ha la goinsto cut into one mors ami
thru he wants me to come In to him and go ont
with him, and I want yon tola I me whetyou think
ebou' It. Wonld yon so or net? lcannm tho iron,
that he baa cut In two. He worked nil last night.
He wanted me to 1st him tear my watch np and get
tho spring, bnt 1 could nol aaa that at all. Bo don’t
you never tell this to no one a: sir, for If yon do
Ulrdsong will pnt me In the cage. It 1 don't go
with him tell me what yon think shoot my going
out with him.
A SEABCO HADE.
This note was written by young Remove,
who is confined on tbe charge of stealing a
yoke of oxen from a negro in Baldwin
county. Hia cell adjoins that of Woolfolk,
bnt there is a wail between them, and the
only means ot communication is by insert
ing their beads through the feed holes of
their respective doors.
Those who are in a position to know well
know that J-.iter Birdsong is an exceeding-
ly cautious official, ns well as butn.ne.
When be read the note be was positive that
Woolfolk bad not cut through the bars, be
cause no oppartnnily had been given him,
nevertheless be considered it his duty
to make un inspeoiiuh, which
be did withont exciting the
prisoner's suspicion. Yesterday he came
in pcsiession of
ANOTHER NOTE
that Ramagehsd written,and he then deter
mined that he wonld set his mind tally at
rest and make a rigid examination.
Taking an usaistant with him, be entered
Wooifolk'a cell on tho pretext of putting n
lighter obain on his ankles, and while one
wag so engaged the other tested the bars
thoroughly, and nothing wrong was dis
covered.
Woolfolk wss very cheerfnl daring the
visit, and was even in a good hnmor. While
talking abont self-destrnction, ho said he
wonld never kill himself, bnt if he wanted
to, he conld pnt his bead under the spigot
and fill himvelt np with water
Theobjsot of Homage in writing the notes
is onppoued to be a transfer trom his nar
row cell to the largo or hospital oell, and he
wanted to give away Woolfolk.
It is not known whether tbo grand jnry
conoludrd their Investigation ot thn case
against Woolfolk, though yesterday waa the
day on whioh the witnesses were to appear
before them.

The answer waa a firm refusal. h »s been on a visit of a week ii
"This is not tha time for me to speak," eitT * ^
he eaid., "Wait until my trial comes.
Then tbe lightning wi'l strike. I will say
my say then. It is not time to do it
now."
"Yon have great courage, Mr. Hopkins,”
■aid the reporter, "to maintain silence ao
long, when, aa yon seem to think, yon
conld torn the tide of sentiment by a few
words.”
Then it woo that he said he had the con
solation of a clear conscience, adding:
"One day I shall go down town with as
much honor aa I ever had. I shall be vin
dicated and prosperity will return to mo. I
know it will. Jnst now my lot it a her!
one. I, who was once tho protector of my
family, am now the protected. I lost every
thing—every cent in the world—in that
miserable failnrc, and I gat my daughters
to invest all they had. Now wo aro ail pi n-
niless, and my daughters support mo who
ought to support them. It is to their
credit, bnt it is a bitter reflection. Can
anyone think that I waa implicated in any
thing that may have been done that was
wrong? Does my condi ion iodioto ii? ’
The evident grief ot tho unfortunate man
wonld have melted a heart of stone. Con-
tinning, he said:
"I am very kindly treated. Mr. Williams
■nd his assistants have been very good. I
feel grateful to them. Let me tell yon
abont him. When Ed Jordan, indicted
for murder, waa acquitted, his old mother,
eighty years old, toox Mr. Williams's hands
in htrt and with tears in her eyes said she
wan tod to (hank him fur having been so
kind to her boy. Billy dropped a few tears
himself, the old lady was so expressive. I

Mr. Hopkins,| walking nervously up and
down tbe j-itl rftlco, said n great deal abont
the Fidelity. He eaid ha thought Receiver
Armstrong was doing well, and give it as
his opinion that another twenty-live per
cent, dividend oonld be declared within nix
months.
While the r> porter and Mr. Hopkins were
talking, Mr. Harper came into the office.
Hu had on hta hat and carried a grip.
“How do yon do, yonng m»t?" he sang
ont pleasantly, advancing and ebaking
hands.
"Are yon going to leavens?" he was ask
ed.
“No, not now. I have been accused,
tried and oonvioted by the uowapep?r>, and
' am now serving ont my sentence.”
Then he turned and went into Jailer
Williams' private office, where a eonple ot
ladles were. It waa explained by a turn
key that tbe ladies were his wife and her
sister, who had brought him a change of
olothing. It is significant that he went
back into the jail proper when the ladies
left. Mr. Hopkins did not.
