pon.m.nt- Visit of the Two
to tho Jail—The It p > Made la
the Cell In Atlanta.
Long before 9 o’clock a. in. Monday of last
week, the time for opening tbe oonrt, a large
crowd boil assembled in tbe Sopcrior Coart
room. There bad beau over two bandied
jurors enmnioaed and these in themselves
nearly filled tbe room, to say notbiog of
those who were there from ahecr cariosity.
A few minntes before 9 o’clock Sheriff
'Westoott brought in Thomas Woolfolk.
He wore a snit of seal-brown, which tilted
him well; white shirt and collar, bat no
cravat The photographs of him a few
years ago aho w no cravat, bat simply a col
lar. His beard had grown ont, and this,
with hia bushy black hair, which had been
allowed to grow also, gave him an unin
viting appearance.
When tbe sber.ff gave bim a chair near
the jnry box aud began taking eff tbe band-
coffs, Woolfolk smoked a short stamp of a
cigar, wbioh be threw away when bis bands
were free. Then he looked srooid upon the
crowd, hot his eyes did cot dwell in any
particnisr direction, except that ba reed the
court calender on the blackboard. A few
moments iatrr be wes carried ont cf the
room to the County Coart rcom np stairs
and
A BARBER SHAVED HIM.
On the way 10 tbe court bonse be naked
to go by a barber shop for this purpose,
bat ot coarse the request was refused.
When he re-entered me oonrt room ho
presented a rnnch better and math more
joaihfal appearance. Ho took bis seat
near tbo table at which bis connsel also
sat.
When Judge Gnstin took Lis seat be set
the machinery of the oonrt in motion by
saying:
••Sir. Clerk, call (be list of jurors ”
After the several venires bad been called
and Houses passed npon, tie judge said:
"Gentlemen, the Gist caso assigned this
mornirg is that of tbe State egeiost Thos.
G. Woolfolk, Soliotor General Hardeman,
Dupont Uuerry and Joseph Hall for the
Bin’s aud F. It. Walker end J. C. Ruther
ford frr the defendant. Gentlemen, are
yon readyV"
Solicitor General Ilirdeman announced
the State ready.
WASTED A FOSTFONEMEXT.
Thereupon Cspt Rutbertord arose end
said there were several rea ons wby they
were not ready. Tbe sue bad been set for
trial yesterday while Ur. Walker
and himself were In Atlanta and was not
made aware of it until last Friday. It was
true be bad read it ia tbe papers, but be
did not think it wits to. He wont to At
lanta without the least suspicion that t
would be set (or yesterday. Usually when
hs went to Atlanta he stopped at the Kim
ball, but this time he stopped with a rela
tive, but took the precaution to go to the
Kimball every morning after hia letters, and
on Friday be rrcsived tbe first authoritative
•DOlloo that the oase wea set He ncsived a

wabrmaas, and he lock them at •
Mr. Walker 1 * offlo', lfh*ra no •£ )d ud that
K« $£"53* fc* »i“o Ronoto
witnesses in vsrious
parts t* g^te who oonld not be secured.
-i man named Pennington, a uoUnsl wit
ness, lived in L .Grange and Mr. Walker
had just reorived a latter (tom him saying
he bad received the eubiteoe, but ooulu
not attend, is bs was poor aud uo money
had been (urolshod him. Mr. Walker bod
lent a subpotaa in registered letters t> each
of the witnteses living onlside of this coun
ty, and this letter from Pennington was
the only reply reoelved. He wss therefore
CEFBEPABED FOB TRIAD.
Belog only reoently employed in the ease
he bal found it impossible In so short a
time alter having been notifird that tbe
cose had been set, to prepare for it. Thera
were witnesses in Monroe connty, even,
that be bad been nnable to gat. He etme
home Saturday, and yesterday wes Sunday,
as the oonrt know, and be bad not time to
make application to tbe oonrt for an order
to pay the witnessci rt siding outside of tbe
county. The law author.eis the payment
of mileage and pay for snub wit
nesses, and the defendant hu wit
nesses in four or five counties. Tho
defendant has been clearly confiutd, and
henco Las Lad no opportunity himself of
eecnrlng them or means with which to pay
them. He would not meke a regnlar mo
tion for a continuance, bat simply asked
for time in wbioh to prepare the ease, and
w.*d that tbe opportunity would ba given
him.
£olloltor.General Ilardeman laid it bad
been the custom of tbe oonrt at leaat for
the past seven years to announce from the
bench when the criminal docket would be
celled, and it bad been tnnonooed in this
case. The list of the eases bad been posted
under tbe jodge’s bench as nana), and a
registered letter had been sent Mr. Walker.
It was tine that the State authoriz'd the
court to pay mllesge and per diem to wit
nesses liviog outaido c f tha oonnty, bnt it
did not authorise the prepayment, and
therefore that could not beany excuse.
WHO were mi WITS ESSES?
Ho hait a right to know who tney were,
and he did not know bnt what be had a
right to know what war expected to be
proven by them. He questioned the le
gality of tbe snbfieaaa sent as blanks to
the connatl. They wero certainly not legal,
when sent ou’side of the oonnty, anises
endorsed by Lis, aud be hsd not endorsed
any. The counsel for defendant had from
the 1st of t-’optember to seenre tho piesenci
of those witnesses.
Mr. Walker explained how a mistake in
tbe address of the registered letter notify
ing him of tbo oase being set bad canted a
delay. He said he wanted soma material
witneasrs, and named F. G. Foster, of
Madison, Mrs. Crane, of Athens—she Is
here, he believed—and Mr. Pennington, of
LtGrange. He hod alto just learned of
another witneea, A Y. Harris, of Monroe
connty. Woolfolk bad been
ECSHEO OFF TO ATLANTA
and had no opportunity to iccure Macon
counsel or be wonld have dore so. Ur.
Walker had been very busy himielf in the
Supreme and other oonrla aud oonld not
look af tar tbe eaaa much himself. Copt.
Rutherford beiog a Mecca attorney be
nalutollj txp.cttd him to look after tab-
reainlog witnesses. Ha said W. A Kitchen,
Sheriff cf Cherokee county, war a no'her
mat rial witntoa, bnt be oonld not eeeare
bim in time. It wsa aiao known that uo
eubpiena oonld be issued (or wUnesoea
living outaide of the ooanty until after tha
action of the grand jnry and La did not
know when ILe true Mil bad bean found.
Ha said ba wanted Woclfolk to have e fair
trial and ha bettered that with all hia wit-
n*‘»*e ha could make a good ahowing in
hia favor.
Capt Rutherford again rose and said
Woclfolk bad written him several times to
tc gtge him in tha cam, but it wsa not until
holding an empty ooat In his hands, while
is towa
Inskey
ss he turned Payne A King’s corner, ho fan
against a yonng man, who fell an t, in fall
ho had been brought to M»con that he had Kisses were exohangtd between Tom and
sgreed to uo into the cose. He repeated
that be did not know untl Fritay lasf that
tho case bad been set. IIo also desired to
isy that the cste was p'cuiiarly his own
and cot Mr. Bacon's. He then a iked to
hsve tbe esse postponed.
Solicitor Genera: Hardeman said that ho
spoko to Ur. Walker oo:. coining the ease in
September, and tha commitment trial was
waived. That gave him tbe right to sab-
panta witnesses.
TWO WEEKS KOBE TIME
The court said icoould not be held respon
sible; for the sbaenoe of cnnr>*el when tbe
announcement was made that tbe criminal
dooket would be eailed; bnt he bed stated
to tho solicitor that he would not make this
a peremptory setting of the ease, though be
had said he would lobe to try this case first
It would therefore set the case for the first
week in December.
Captain Ruthtrford—"Make it tbe second
week.”
The Court “No, I havesrt angswement
that week to hold oonrt for another judge
who will bold court forme at another time.*’
Captain Rutherford—“Tben m.ke ii lira
first week in January?”
The Court—“No, I cannot let it go over
tbe holidays.”
Captain Rutherford then said: “If yonr
Honor sets tee esse for tbe first week in De
cember I shall to have ask lor a continuance.
We are prepared to stow by the sheriff, of
Cherokee county, that we have a very ma
terial witness who is now at large.” He
then went on to relate the arrest of tbe ne
gro
sice dubose;
that he was looking out for an < soaped
convict and arrested Jack for bim; that
Jack immediately said he did not kill any
of the Woolfolk fata ly, that he was not re
sponsible fori’, and then gave a minute
aooouat of how it occurred and all the cir
cumstance*; how be was standing watoh be-
hind a bush at tbe head of a grave that
was not a grave, having been almost
obliterated by time, and how while stand
ing there be saw Tom Woolfolk os he
jumped out of a front window, and heard
the blows being struck and the terrains as
Tom passed by him, and bow be went into
tbe honso by the book d< or and saw part of
the killing; how be taw Misa Ptarl killed in
the hallway; that tho sheriff told the negro
he was not telling the tiutb, as Miss Pearl
was fonnd in the room, he said tome one
most have pnt her there, ns ahe was cert .in
ly killed in the hallway; and all this was
told tbs sheriff before Ur. Welker had h< 11
any oonvt nation with bim. The confes
sion had been made under fright and the
negro simply gave himself away. This
negio had been mined loose and oonld
SOT BE F jUND,
though it has now been aaoertainel where
be babltates or roams aronnd, and with
time he oonld be seoared. His evidence
wonii throw light on the case and ex pi -in
many things, and with time tho sheriff
oonli bs had to testify ta to what bad been
told to nim, lie did not care how slight
the evidence, they were entitled to reason
able time to got it. To pnt tho defendant
on trial new would be a faroe, a mockery.
He wonld therefore appeal to tbe oonrt for
additional time in wbioh to trace up this
negro, and suggested seme week ia Janua
ry beset for the trial, se no barm cjuld be
done. The jail was snfHoiently seenre to
protect tbe utfendedt if he be guilty, and
tbe State does not want hia blood if he ia
innocent.
S.-hcitor-Ooneral Hardeman thought this
ono of the most re/ aaU k„t > le ergameots ior
a continuance ne ^ad eTer hoard. Ho
"P 0 "^ ot Jack Dubose and bis wonderful
story, aod said defendant's Couusol had bad
ample lime to get him here—six weeks. It
wonld be better that Jaot should be a fngi-
ttve than a witness. He thought the court
should net allow the counsel an hour
l inger than the time he bad given them.
Snob an important witntsa as the
FEBtFATETIO JAIL BIRD
whioh had now down to other parts, was
too important a witness to have been al
lowed to go. tie then went on to oombat
every reason urged by tho defendant's
oenosel for delay, making one of the most
forcible, logical and dearest arguments of
bis life.
Oapt Rutherford said he had been bnt
reoently employed iu tbe oase and oonse-
qneatly oonld not be charged with laohra.
Ur. Walker supposed that if the negro bad
been kept in jail he wonld not have proven
of any rarvlee as be wonld criminate him
self. If he shonld deny what he had said
the teetimoiy wonld go tor naught,
Mr. Walker said that ho was in his office
one morning preparing to oome to Macro
when be reoelved a telegram from Canton
saying that Duboso bad been arrested and
to oome. He went n? that afternoon and
saw Jack. Mr. Walker then went on to
repeat Jaek'e atory, bnt the oonrt interrupt
ing Win, ho proceeded to prove himielt
clear ot the charge ot laahei, b’ut nit he
knew be vis a weak minded ntgro; that
the papers from oue and of tha
State were abusing Jsok and him'
self; that be weut under another
name, that the polios of Atlanta had tried
to make ont that be had a habit of confess
ing things be did not do, bat that he had
inveaiigabdoneof theehargse aod fonnd
it to b.i true aod that hs was sent to the
penitentiary for it. II t txplalned that ho
wooid not retain Jaok in jilt because not
not knowing the faots he did not feel jus
tified in sweariog out a warrant (or him
and that tha Bheriff had held him as long
as bo oral A The newspapers
BAISED A BOWL.
Solicitor General Hardeman "Do you pro
pose to tty this e»o on newspaper talk?"
Mr. Walker: “No|«ir, we do not.”
Tbe oonrt tuen said the oue weald sot
beointinuedfare longer time than that
mentioned—the first Monday in December.
At Ibis juncture there was not standing
room tu the oonrt chamber,
every Ineh nf tbe gallery be
ing alio filled. Very few attempted to leave
even after the decision of the c rurt was ren
dered, and to clear the room Sheriff West
cott escorted Woolfolk ont into tbe judge’s
room. Tbe crowd suppcaiog he would bs
atouoe taken to jsll, imbed ont, bnt the
prisoner was no whrro to be seem
Bheriff Westoott watted tor an rpportU'
nl'y and then had the prisoner quietly oar
tied back to j dL The crowd remained In
the oonrt room, seeming to bars a hope
that he wonld be brunght hick and another
opportunity to tee him afforded.
WHAT BE TBISES OF IT.
Yesterday morning when Woolfolk
dratted himself in hie new clothes, be ap
peared to bo in a good humor, bat made tbe
remark that he “would not have hit trial
to-day.” Hs was at:Etoni to get an oppor
tunity cf getting out ot jail and walking on
the ground and tu see the sunshine.
Whsn be was being catrud back he said
ha wartsd a sprady trial, that the thing
might be . v-r. Hs wea gtsd tbit tbe judge

BANCROFTS HEALTH.
Speaking of Bii oroft, be is iu excellent
health, and his mind is as clear ss a bell.
I fonudbim at noun to day, hard at work in
bis library, and be told ms at the beginning
of my visit that Le waa very busy, aud
oonld apare me only a short time. Tito in-
fotma'.ion contained in tbo above para
graphs does not come from him, aud our
conversation related chiefly to his library
t-nd bis work. He believes in the philoso
phy of work, and be will continue to work
until he dies. Upon my asking bim sb to
his health he saiu:
"I have enjoyed my yoath, aod am pre- j
paring to take old age as it Oomee. I feel as
well as sn old msn can, and I have my mat
ters in each a condition that 1 am prepared
to die at any time. My death may come in
three months, or it may notooonr for years.
Until it does come I will continne my la
bors. Y’on ask me if my history is com
pleted? I reply, that I will coniiaue to
write it as long es I live. I have kept up
with tho times, and have a fair knowledge
of the various administrations. My library,
as you nay, is perhaps the finest private li
brary iu the oonotry, and I have a vast
amount of material which oan be found
nowhere else."
I here asked ss to bis msnusoripts and
be showed me some of the* hundreds of
bnond votnmns which he has gathered
trom all parts of the world. While in
England, Holland,Fra-ioe,and Germany, he
waa given aecees to tbo State archives of
each conntiy, and, at great expense, had
all mattera relating -to the history of
America copied. Ibsse are now bound,and
the collection is the only one of ite kind in
existence. Ha has also o'pies of thousands
of letters of the Presidents and
s ateamen of tbe past, Jaokson gave
orders, when he died, that Bancroft should
have aocess to all bis papers, aud there are
numerots letters of Jackson's in existence
testifying to this foot. Last year Mr. Bin-
oroft paid a visit to Nashville, and he had
President Polk’s pipers CopLd for Lim.
These are now bcaad in red Lather fo rming
a set of volumes sa large as a good eizsd
tncjclnrieiio. Ho has papers ot Van Baton,
and, in (set, everything worth having that
relates to the history ot tbe United S:a os.
BIS OBEAT LIBRARY.
His library contains somoaucre between
15,OiO and 20,000 volumes. Tbe bocks are
two rows deep upon the shelves, aud sev
eral largn connecting rooms are walled with
them. It is sappoaod that he ia at work
npon a biography of Polk and although 1
have not this reformation directly from Lim,
a remark whioh bo medo abont Po'.k leads
me to belitve that it is true. He told me
to-day that he considered Polk one ot tbe
^eatrat of the Presidents and added that
„„„ .. _ . he was a Very systematic worker. He refer
