Long before 9 o'clock a. id. Mocdiy of last

crowd bod aestitbled in tbe Superior Court
room. There bad been OTer two bandied
juror* eammoaed and these in themselvee
nearly filled tbe room, to say notblDg of
those who were there from aheer curiori’.y.
A few minntee before 9 o'clock Sheriff

with his basby black bair, which bad been
allowed to grow alao, gave bim an unin
viting appearance.
When tbe aher.ff gave bim a chair near
tbe jory box and began taking eff tbe band
coffa, Woolfolk smoked a abort stamp of a
cigar, wbiob be threw away when his bands
were free. Then he looked f ront d upon tbe
crowd, bnt bia eyes did not dwell in sny

On the way to tbe oonrt boose be asked
to go by s barber shop for this purpose,
bnt ot comae tbe request was refused.
When he re-entered me court room bo
presented a ranch better and much more

near tho table st wtlch bis counsel also

When Judge Gudin took his seat he set
the machinery of the coart in motion by

Thereupon Uapt Rotbertord sroie and

were not ready, Tbe one bad been eet for
trial yesterday while Hr. Walker
and himself were in Atlanta and was not
made aware of it nntil last Friday. It was
trns bo bad read it in tbe papers, bnt be
did not think it was io. He went to At

would be let for yesterday. Usually when
he went to Atlanta be stopped at iho Kim
ball, bat this time be stopped with a rela

Kimball every morning after hli letters, and
on Friday be ncrired tbe first authoritative

man named Fenningtoo, a material wit-
near, lived la L iGrsnge. and Mr. Walksr
had just reo.lv«1 a lattrr from hint sayiug
he bal reoalved the snbfuiia, bnl oouU
not attend, as be was poor and no money
bod been (ornl.beJ bim. Mr. Walker bad
■ ent a snbporaa in registered letters t > essb
of tbe witnesses living outside of this coun
ty, and this letter from Pennington was
tho only reply reoeived. He was therefore
unfsefased ron trial
Being only reocutly employed in tbo ease
be bad found it impossible in so short a
time after having been notified that tbe-
caso had been set, to prepare for it, Tbete
wero witnesses in Monroe county, even,
that ha bad been unsblo to get. He etmo
home Sitorday, and yesterday wsa Sunday,
as the oonrt know, and be had not time io
make application to tba conrt for an order
to pay tbe witnesati r> aiding ontslds of tbe
county. Tbe law author.oa tbe payment
of mileage and pay for snob wit
nesses, and tbe defendant has wit
nesses in tonr or five counties. Tbo
defendant baa been closely confined, and
henco baa bad no opportunity himself ot
aecnring them or mean* with which to psy
them. He wontd not make a regular mo
tion for a continuance, bnt simply asked
for time In whleh to prepare tbs oasr, and
hop'd that tbs opportunity would be given
him.
^olloitor General nardeman said it had
been tbe custom of tbe oonrt at least for
tbe past seven years to annonnoe from tbe
beocb when tbe criminal docket would be
called, and It bad been ennonneed in tble
cose. Tbe list of tbe oases had been potted
under the judge's bench ns osna), and a
regisUred letter bad been sent Mr. Walker.
It was tree that tbe State authoriz'd the
coart to psy milesge and per diem to wit
nesses living outside cf tbe oonnty, bnt It
did not antborizs tbe prepayment, and
therefore that could not be any excuse,
WHO wsm ransa WITNESSES?
Ho bail a right to know who tney were,
and he did not know bnt what be bod a
right to know what was expected to be
proven by them. He questioned the le
gality of tbe snbptsass sent ns blanks to
the counsel. They wero certainly not legal,
when atnt on'aide of the oonnty, unless
endorsed by Lis, and ho had not endorsed
any. Tbo counsel for defendant bad from
tbe 1st of September to secure the ptesencs
of those witness>-«.
Mr. Walker explained how a mistake in
tbe address of the registered letter notify
ing bim of tbe ossa being set bad oaosed a
delay. He said be wanted coma material
witnesses, and named F. G. Foster, cf
Madison, Mrs. Orsne, of Athens—she is
here, be believed—aud Mr. Pennington, ot
LaGrsnge. He bad also just learned of
another witness, A Y. Harris, of Monro,
oonnty. Woolfolk bad been
SCSHSD or* TO ATLAXTA ■
and hsd no opportunity to secure Macon
counsel or be would have dor* so. Mr.
Walker bad been Tery buey himself in the
Bnpremo and other oourls and canid not
look after tbe case much himself. Ctph
Rutherford bting a Maccn attorney be
naturally expected bim to look after sub
roe anieg witnesses. He said W. A Kitcbeu,
Sheriff of Cherokee oonnty, wai ano'hcr
mat rial witness, bnt be ooolJ not senate
bim in time. It wsa alao known that do
subpoena eonld be issued for witoesuw
living outside of the oonnty nntil after tbe
notion of the grand jury and La did not
know «hen tbe true Mil bod been found.
He said be wanted Wotlfolk to have a fair
trill and bo believed that with til bis wit
nesses La could mtka a good showing in
his favor. •
Copt. Rutherford again rose and said
Woolfolk had written bim several limes to
—
agreed to go into tbe case. He repeated
that be did not know unt : l Frilay last that
tbe case bad been set. Ho also desired to
■sy tbst the esie was peculiarly his own
and not Mr. Baoou’a. He then a iked to
have tbe case postponed.
Solicitor Genera^ Hardeman said that he
spoko to Mr. Walker concerning tbe case in
September, and tbe commitment trisl wsa
waived. Tbit gavo bim tbe right to sub-
pama witnesses.
TWO WEEKS KOBE TIME
Tbs conrt said it oonld not bo held respon
sible; for the abaenoe of counsel when tbe
announcement was made tbat the criminal
docket Would be oriltd; but be bed stated
to tbo solicitor tbst be wonli not make this
a peremptory setting of tbe case, tbiugh be
bad said be would like to try this ease first
It would therefore set tbe osse for the first
week io Deoember.
Captain Rutbtrford—"Make it tbe second
week."
The Court “No, I have so «ng»»em«nt
tbat week to hold oonrt for another judge
wbo will bold court forme a', another time.”
Captain Rutherford—“Tbeu m.Ke is (bu
first week in jAnuaty?"
Tbe Court—“No, I cannot let it go over
the holidays.”
Captain Rutherford then said: “If your
Honor sets toe case for tbe first week in De
cember 1 shall to have aak tor a continuance.
We are prepared to abow by tbe eher-ff, of
Cherokee coonty, that we have a very ma
terial witness wbo is now at large.” He
then went on to relate tho arrest of tbe no-
gro
jack pcbose;
that he wai looking out for an escaped
convict end arrested Jack for bim; that
Jack immediately said be did not kill any
of tbe Woolfolk fam ly, tbat be was not re
sponsible for it, and the n gave a miouto
account of bow it occurred and all tba cir
cumstances; bow be war standing watoh be
hind a bush at tbe bead of a grave tbat
was not a grave, having been almost
obliterated by time, and bow while stand
ing tbero be saw Tom Woolfolk sa he
jumped out of a front window, and beard
the blows boiDg struck and tbe certain) as
Tom passed by bim, and bow be weDt into
the bouse by tbe back dr or and eaw part of
the killing; bow be saw Miss Pearl killed in
tbe ball way; that tbo sheriff told tbo nogro
be was not telling tbe tiutb, ss Miss Pearl
was fonnd in tbe room, ho said some one
must have pnt her there, as she was cert .in
ly killed in the hallway; and all this was
told tbe sbsnff before Mr. Walker had h<) 1
any conversation with bim. Tbe oonfea-
sion had been made nnder fright and the
negro simply gave himself away. Tbis
negro had been turned loose and oonld
NOT DE TJDND,
tbongh it bai now been ascertained where
be bsbitates or roams around, and with
time be oonld be scoured. His evidence
would throw light on the case and explain
many tbiegs, and with time tbe sheriff
oonli be bad to testify as to what bai been
told to film, Ha did not care bow slight
theevldenoe, they were entitled to reason
able time to got it. To pat tbo defendant
on trial now would be a fsroe, a mockery.
He would therefore appeal to the oonrt for
additional time In wbiob to trsoo up this
negro, and suggested soma week in Janua
ry beset for the trial, ss no barm crnld be
dona Tbe jail was aofllolently eeours to
protect tbe Uefendedt it be be guilty, and
tbe State does not want bis blood if be is
innocent.
8 dieltor. General Hardman thought this
one of the most i*,diukabte arguments tor
n continuance bed ever heard. He
Jack Dubose and hlawondttful
•lory, and said defendant's Counsel bad bad
ample lime to get him here—six weeks. It
would be better that Jaok should be a fugi
tive than a witness. He thought the court
should not allow the aoun-el an hour
longer than tbo time he bid given them.
Such au important witness as tbo
feeifatetio jail died
whleh bad now flown to other parts, was
too important a witness to have been al
lowed to go. He then went on to combat
every reason nrged by tbo defendant’!
oonnsel for delay, miking one of tbe moat
forcible, logical and clearest arguments of
his life.
Oipt Rutherford said be had been bnt
recently employed in tbe osae and oonae-
quently oonld not be charged with laehea.
air. Walker supposed tbst it tbe negro bad
been kept In jail be wontd not have proven
of any -ervioe as be would criminate bim-
aeU. It be should deny whvt be bad said
tbe testimoxy wonli go tor naught.
Mr. Walker said that be was in his office
one morning preparing to eome to Maooo
when be reoeived a telegram from 0onion
saying tbat Dubose bad been arrested and
to ocnie. Hs went up that afternoon and
saw Jaok. Mr. Walker then went on to
repeat Jack's story, bnl the oonrt ioferrnpt-
lng him, be proceeded to prove himself
clear ot tbe eWge of Uehet, but soi l he
knew be was s wcsk minded negro; tbat
the pspers from one end ot tbe
8iate were abating Jack and him'
self; ihst be went under another
name, tbat tbe polloe ot Atlanta had tried
io moke ont tbat be bad a babit of confess
ing things bo did not do, but tbat be had
investigat'd one of thaebargss and fonnd
it to ba true and that he waa sent to the
penitentiary for it. H> explained tbat be
would not retain Jaok in j ail because not
not knowing the feels be did not feel jol
lified in aweariog out a warrant for bim
and that tbe Sheriff bod held him as long
as he ouuld. Tbe newspapers
HALVED A HOWL.
Solicitor General Hsrdamtu “Do you pro-
poee to tiy tbis ewo on newspaper tali?"
Mr. Walker; “No|sir, we do not."
l’ho oonrt then said tbe esse would sot
be o intiuned for e longer time tban that
mentioned—tbe fliat Monday in December.
At this junctors there was not standing
room in the omrt chamber,
every inch of tbe gallery be
ing alio filled. Very few attempted to leave
even after the decision of the ciurt was ren

lief thxt;he would soon be out of tbe j til.
Tbey held a conversation of some length,
during which Woolfolk repeated what he
bad frequently said to others, that he wsa
happier tbsn ever b< fore in his life, ni.d
tbat be trusted in God, eto. The lacici
then bid bim good-bye, and after their de
parture be walked about uia cell In a ner
vous sort of way, his every movement being

BIS ATLANTA BOFE.
When Woolfolk wee brought down from
Atlanta where he bad been imprisoned, be
bought a valise. This wsa laid aside in the
office, but never examined, es Jailer Bird
song never intended that it should go into
(be cell with bim. IIo frequently asked for
It, however, Yesterday morning, before
making bis toilet for tbe oonrt-bouse, be
asked for a shirt io Abe valise. Tbe jailer
th6n opened It for the first tim-, nnd found
a rope m tde of the cords of & hammock
The rope wee of three sir.es and measured
twenty-two feet loDg. When u.ked about
it, Woolfolk said be made it while in tbe
At'auts jail of a hammock that swung in
his cell, sod tbat he intended it to assist
bim should be haro. an opportunity of
escaping. Tbe rope will be piac.-d »ith the
iron hook and saw knife fonnd in bis oell

SOMETHING OF A RACE,
In Which n Negro Hoy Camee Consider

A few days ago n negro boy named Jerry
Bird, stole some jellies and other things
from tbe store of Geo. R. Barker, on Cut-
ton avenne. Hie nnole fonnd out tbe iheft
in some way, and to preserve the homir of
the family paid Mr. Barker for l he art loirs.
Yesterday wbila psaslog the little negro
nureeuf Mr. Jauies Kiltoyle on tbe avenue,
she said somothing to Jerry about tbe Reel

her, and came very, near striking Mr. Kil-
foyle'a little eon. Officer McOlnskey want

brass buttons. Tbe officer happened to
sec constable K : mbrew near by end told
bim to pass by wbero Jerry was ataud'ng

tho constable standing on the sidewalk

Jerry was making steps towards Triaognlar
Block. Officer McCinskey started after

U. Taylcr, who was riding on Second

Mr. Tsilcr ot tbe cbtse, tbero was a dsab

eutjact of oouveraslion in Washington so
ciety for *ome weeks to oome. TLe high
standing of tbe yoneg lady, tho almost
Amerioan nobility cf tbe groom’* family,
sad the extraordinary natnro of the mar
riage has eet the highest circles all agog.
Miss Susance Bancroft bar been, for the
peat two years, one of tbe belles of Waah-
iogton. She baa moved in tbe highest cir
cles, and bos been one ot tbe diplomatic
ooterie, wbiob it above the ordinary Con
gressional society of tbe eapital. A fluent
French scholar, she ha* been oonrted by
the leading members of the legations, and
many of her bon mots have gone tho tonne's
I called upon tbe great historian to-day,
ana naked for a photograph of bis grand
daughter, He replied tbat she bad none
taken in tbis country, bnt seemed highly
pic sid with tbe match. Ho thinks very
highly cf the Carroll family, and be is oil
enough to have been personally acquainted
with Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, who, it
will be remembered, died in 1832, who
signed tbe declaration of independeuoe, who
waa a Senator from Maryland, and waa one
of tbe first directors of tbe Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company.
THE CARROLLS OF CARROLLTON.
The Csrrolis oome from,tbe oldest fami
lies of Ireland, and they nave intermarried
with tbo most notod families in England
suit America. It waa one of tbe Osrroil
girls, who I am told, though not by Mr.
Bancroft, married au Euglish nobleman,
and who came back to this oonntry to p-y
a visit when Andrew Jackson wai Presi
dent. James Buchanan called at the White
House te s a “Old Hickory” to prepare bim
tor tbe cell of tbe Duchess, as I think she
was. He found Jackson tn dressing gown
and slippers and told him that tbe noted
l-.d> wonld soon l>e in to aae him. Jackson
coolly replied that he wonld be glad to re-
ciivo ter and went on with bis writing.
Buchanan, wbo was a martinet la sooiety
affairs, noticing tbe unshaven fees of the
G-ueral, his ragged dreasing gown and Iris
slippers all down at the heel, eaw fit to re
mark.;
“That he tbangbt the President's costume
hardly a fit one tor the reception of snob a
visitor, and it wonld bo better for bim to
aprnce up a little btforo the call ” *
“AU right,” said Jackson, wi bint Tala
ri g bis head, and Bnobanan started for tbe
door. Bsforohebod reached it, Jackson
looked up and said: “Buchanan, there was
a man down in Tenneeneo who made au
enormous f. nune in a very short time!”
‘ Indeed,” said Buchanan, wondering
what that bad to do with the present visit.
“Yti,” continued Jcckson, “and bo made
•lis whole of it by attending to h : s own
bnsiarss. Good day, air.”
Buchanan left, and fl'teen minute* later
ho brought tbe lady to the AVblto House.
He found J-ickson dressed in exquisite taste,
cleanly shaven, and looking the perfection
of the old-style Rentleman. The Dachrss
wsa charmed with him, and abe afterwards
remarked that she bid never reenamore
o xirtly gentltm in than Jao'.son.
Tue Carroll* b*ve kept tbeir blood pure,
and they are one of the moat noted Mary
land families of to-day. Obariea Carroll,
wbo married Sasanne Bancroft, bu a father
yet living, and I understand that his father
will *p.nd the winter in Washington and
take a house here. If so, the newly-mar-
ried conpte wiU «peDd tbeir time at tbe
hocste of the two families. Tbey are now
at their borne In Howard oonnty, Maryland.
Tbis home It known os Dongborgan Manor,
and it located in Etlioott City.

years old, and sbe is tho daughter of George
Bancroft, Jr, by a French mother;
It 1* not true tbat ber father is dead, but
ber mother died some month* ago. When
she reached young-Iadyhood.and waa ready
to come ont in society, she oame to see ber
8 randfatber, and has been living with him
» tbe pact four years. Ur. Btnarofi it
very foud of her, and love* bar as mnob as
tbongb ebe were bia own daughter.
Tbe story of her engagement with the
Yiacuont de Channae Lons to baa not been
told, and tbe particular* of it are not folly
known. She met tbe Viscount a* a child,
and. I think, the two lived near each other
in Francs. Her engagement to him was an
nounced at Newport lust summer, bnt tbe
society ladies of Washing' on say tbat Mini
Bancroft never eothoaed over ber engage
ment, and it is donbtful whether
ebe was ever In lave with bim. He
sent ber, it ia said, 6,000 franc* to buy an
engagement ring, and there is a rumor tbat
out of the amount sbe bought two, one of
wbiob was a beautiful turquoise and tbe
other a toby. Asto'this, however, I will
not ba oeruio, and I suppose the rings
the money has been long since sent back to
Franee.
UUi Bancroft has known Ur. Carroll for
several yean, though it waa not thought
that tba two were in love with each other.
Tbe chief part of tba centring waa done
list summer at Newport, where Mr. Ban
croft boa hla cotUg*. "R aec’.iff ” Miss
It incroft and Mr. Carroll look long waUi
along the cliffs together. Toey met each
other at the Casino, and at Bancroft's cot
tage, and it it probable tbat the engage
ment was there mad* which baa since
■ailed in mimage.
Carroll is a fine looking young man, of
about twenty-two. Uedreeen* well andfis
decidelj atylith. Us is _a alight, well
ing, one of whom is in Boston, and tbe
other—the father of tbis girl—in Patis.p It
it not improbable tbat he will provide „
something for bis grand-daughter in bis rr?
will, though I urn told be has a number of j§
grand-cUldren. _
BANCROFTS HEALTH.
Speaking of Bxi-oroft, be is in excellent
health, and bis mind is as clear as a bell.
I found him at noun to day, bnrdat work in
bis libnry, tnd be tQld me at lbs beginning
of my visit tbat he was very bnsy, and
oonld spare me only a abort rime. Tbe in-
foima'.ion contained in tho above para
graphs does not come from bim, and our
conversation related chitfly to bis library
t.nd bis work, lie believes In tbe pbiloso- |
pby of work, and be will continue to work
until he dise. Upon my asking bim as to
bis bealtb be sain:
"I have enjoyed my yontb, and am pre-1
paring to take oid age as it oumes. I feel as
well as an old man con, and I bare my mat
ters in tu:b a condition tbat 1 am prepared
to die at any time. My death may come in
three months, or it may not oocnr for years.
Until it does come J will continue my la
bors. You ask me if my history is com
pleted? I reply, that I will contiaue to
write it as long as I live. I bave kept up
with tbo times, and btve a fair knowledge
of tbe various administrations. My library,
as yon eay, ia perhaps tbe finest private li
brary in tbe oouuiry, and I bave it vast
amount of material which can be found
nowhere else.”
I here asked a* to bis menugcriptg and
be showed me some of the' hundreds of
bound volumus which he has gathered
trom all parts of tbe world. While in
England, Holland,France,acd Germany, be
wrs given acceea to tbo State archives of
each countiy, and, at great expense, had
all mattere relating -to the history of
America copied. These ara now bound,tnd
tbe collection is tbo only one of its kind in
existence. Ho has also o-pris of thousands
of letter* of the Presidents acd
8 ateamen of tbe past. Jackson gave
orders, when he died, tbat Bancroft, should
have access to ell bis papers, aud there are
numerous letters of Jackson's in existence
testifying to this foot. Last year Ur. Bin-
oroft paid a visit to Noabville, and be bad
President Polk’e pspers copied for him.
These are now bound tn red bather forming
a set of volumua aa large as a good triz.d
incjclop' iia. Hobaspaperaot Von Baten,
aud, in fact, everything worth having tbat
relates to tbe history ot tbe United 8 a or.
HIS OBXAT LIBRARY.
His library oonUina aomesnere between
15,0l0 and 20.0U0 volumes, Tbe books are
two rows deep upon tbe shelves, and sev
eral large connecting rooms are walled with
thorn. It is supposed tbat be la ax work
npon a biogrnpby ot Polk and although 1
have not this information directly from bim,
a romark which bo medo abent Polk leads
me to belisve that it is true. He told me
to day that be considered Polk one ot tbe
great)slot thePrcetdeoj* and added that
be was a Very systematic worker. He refer-
r> d to the great things accomplished iu
Polk’s admiolstration as to the flasncial
S alem of tbe country, tbe annexation of
Has, and other matters. He told me that
be had known personally all tba Presidents
sinoe Juhn Adams. He waa well acquaint
ed with President Adams, and upon
my asking bim c* lo Adams’* vanity, re
ferred to tbe sayings of Ogle Taylor, where
in Tayloe state* tuat Adams bad once to-
provtd a fritnd wbo, in conversation, had
used tbe term “George Washington and
John Adams,” aaying, “Yon should not ary

'George Wa-biugtun and John Adams,'
‘Jojn Adams and George Washington,’
it was John Adam* who made George
Washington.'' To tbis Mr, Bworoft replied
•mpbaMoally: "Tbat story is not atrne
one. I know tbat John Adama had a high
opinion cf General Washington, and 1
know that be oonld not have made anch a
r mark about bim. He may have been
vain, and he nndonbtidly bad a full appre
ciation of bia greatness, but he never made
snob a remark as that. He wbb a very in
dustrious man, was biava and fearless, and
iu bis letters and papers be rpcaka very
highly ot General Washington.”
1 here a iked a question as to JohnQiin
oy Adam*, and Mr. Bancroft lemarkeo tbat
be waa one of tbe fow men of wbomJobn
Qilnoy Adame bad always apokeu well in
bis dirty. Ha coneldera tbe second Adtma
a great man, and gives him full credit for
tbe ability and knowledge which hs un
doubtedly poiaettcd. Be thinks, however,
tbat he wonld hava made a belter Pren
dent bad be not apentso much timoabroui
and referred to hia long iorelgn career and
hia foreign edneation as somewhat warping
hia judgment of Amsrlean nutter*.
Iu this ioterviow I was surprised at the
strength, both mental and pbysioal, ex
hibited by Mr. Banoroft. Daring it be re
ferred to several books In bis library, aud
bis motions wet* si active as those of a
boy; bia voles was strong, and bu eyesight
stems to be good. He takca hit long rirfi *
daily, and be told me tbat It d d not tire
bim. He *Uya out on horseback from one
to throe boars daily, and U quite a pedes
trian. He ones told me that he thought ba
dull make thirty mile* a day without tir
ing, aud aa I looked at his wiry fume to
day, I did not donbt tbat be waa able to do
