Sandkr8vii>lk, December 19.—Tbe Sontb
afternoon for the drat time ainoo tbe close
of the Woolfolk trial.
The TKi.C(ii:irn found him erj.ying a
cigar and tue little glioipets of sniirhine
that brightened op tbe atteroonn at inter
val*. He was a tr.fla wtak from bit sick
nees, which bed been brought on by tbe
sevrre strain tf the rxlraoidinary trial.
••Why did yon e nd "■olijlk away,
Jndgt'f" ashed the TcntonarH.
<'U came about iu tnte way. On the
evening of th- !-«' day of .lie trial, Oaptaio
Rnlbeitard came to tue while I was on tbe
bench and eak d mo io send tbe ptiecr.er
away, tor tbe reeson that there waa coi »ii*
enable feeliDg iigainst bim. I refused to do
go. Ha thru siil that I wa not on tbe
ontside, where I could bear and tee wbat
waa going 01; tbat bis client wag
badly frightened and trembled for bis life.
I told him I felt sati-fled hia client was as
safe here iu ltibb connty j .n ns he would
be anywhere, bnt I thongut best to c insid
er the request and called Sheriff W. s'.’ott
tome, latktdbim what he the light of it
and be agreed with me tbat tbe prhontr
wsa aefe He said tbe danger point h ui
been peased, the people were s.-ti l'l, .1 with
tbe trial and vt r Hot and there was nothing
to be tested. Ho said, however, that what
be dii fear was that Woolfolk might kill
bimetlf. It wag necessary to h-ivi- an addi
tional tuon st tbe jail, sod this tbe connty
did not authorize the employment ot snob
additional guard. After this ccnaultath-n
with the sbet'S I decided to send the pits
oner away temporarily "
Sheriff Wesooll waa then seen end asked
if be thought Woolfolk desired to kill him-
self.
• Ha told me ttvernl timen," rcp’ied the
(herd, "th it there wire a hundred wayi to
kill himself. Wnen w» went to share him
I wenlinut remove the hindejfti from hia
hands and he wanted them tok-n * if 'N i
handcuffs, no alrav„' is what I told him,
and he looked at mo aud eaid : ‘Weil, you
are right, ban, ton don't know what ia in
tag head.’ Onv.no'her ocession when wo
hudhnnin a room nuetairs in tbe c .nit
bouse, I was seated in tbo window. All at
onoe be made a rush ter the window, bnt I
jumped up and catching hi .1 bv the shonl
dera threw biminto the middle of tbe room.
I did not know wfcethtr it was for the pur-
pceeef knroMtg me cut of the window or
jumping out bitneelf, and I was determined
that be should do neither,''
‘•Yon should Lsvo seen me," e.ild Jailer
Birdsong, wbj canio np at the lime, "alien
Trtu was vomiting out of ton oar window "
I; villa remembered that the j ulor ac
companied Woolfolk to Atlanta.
"He was euro enough eio't, having drank
so mneb astir bif.ro be started, end I hail
to raise Ihe window fur him. 1 g .t a good
grip on bit 0 at collar at the back of bia
neck and there I held bim, so tbat if he did
jump out of tbe wind iw to would o>rry mo

"CcL Ra heilord, when wilt the next

Mr. Orchard a moment or two, and bow In

any rdl-ction u;o 1 him or to disparage hia

in one tr two instances. For

did, tbat any of tbe jnry subsequently to

Woolfolk ought to be banged.
*'l did eay, however, tbat be did not have
a fair tria', and that in that opinion a large

Mason were aocepted by the defense, bad

very auoogiy tbat tbe defendant should be

Tbe bill which Mrs. Whitn'y has fur
nished, and into which was put a gord
share of Ihe <3tf l ,0i 0 expended on Iko gen
eral renovation of tne home last year, is
rather broad than deep. It baa an irregniar
ontiine, and at the haok ri-.ee by easy gra-
dattois a broad stalrcas* with several land
ingi ot b'eutitnl ovrved wood finish, tbe
fi est thing of its sort in Iho city, I believe.

Mrs. Cornelias Vanderbilt, on tbe oppo

what more conventional manner. 1. la

thut ol tbe William K Vanderbilt
bouse farther down tbe avenne, which baa
t-een described In an English art j renal ss
Ibe finest in America. There is a v a» of
Russian malachite set in gold in tbe Van-
drrbtlt hall, wbiqji is wor'h two or three
good aiz d for nnn. In alz>, however,any-
tl irg in ,tbe Vanderbilt bouse ia dwarfed
by tbe ball ol the big new Tiffany bouse,
whose entrance ia an enormous sreb of
hnge atonal guarded by a heavy iron gate.
Ii lonka m if it ought to have n m. at aud
an iron drawbridge to make the thing com
plete, and perhaps it would be if the build
ing laws psrtntlted. Into that yawning
archway yonr carriage disappears Tbe
front a-epv are inside, so to speak, and Ibe
ball, when you hare mounted them, is i
vast and osvrrnona plaoe with heavy o-rv
tags and elaborate metal work. It dwarfs
aliattemp-a to make it look Uvablo, and is
-x'remely magnificent but not la tbe least
like a home.
Airs J. Coleman Drayton baa tbe r-pula-
linn of weeriug the beat grwns in tbe city,
Kho bas devotod heraelt to ber hall with
qitlzMl. It is one of tbe moat auooeaa-
Ini balls in New York. Tbe Drayton house
is a moderniz-d block hooae, one ot tbe
most noticeable of tbe newer block bouaee
on tbs avenue. It is not above thirty or
thirty-five feet wide, but the ball, without
robbing tbe drawicg.rooma nt tbcli jn-
proportion-*, is a pretty apartmen', protiily
torailbed, with the aame rigcrd to a har
mony ot materials and onion wbtoh has
established Mrs. Drayton’s reputation for
good taste.
So muob attention U being paid to ball
architecture, and New York women bars
come to lay so uoob atross on ball decora
tion, tbat the mistresses of mentions with
tbe old-trsh-oned straight balls are to give
them more ot tbe roosa appearance, or at
least to dl-RUtse tbe narrow passage and the
not Bribetio front ataireavo by rich valances
bni-g across tbe foot of tbe stairway, or b 7
portieres. This is a simple device and a
i-rctty one, Mra. Cyrna W. Field baa nsed
it to advsotoga in tbe big Field boose in
Gnmmrrcy Psrk. Another easily made
reformation ia to throw a broad landing in
to tbe atair neat the bottom aod spproaeh
il by one or two atepa from the ride.
