that the ditch between the

has been remedied.
It is unnecessary for ns to give
here a history of the Woolfolk mur
der, and the trials that followed.
Our readers are familiar with the
facts.
On the 9th of August, 1S87, the
entire household of Capt. Richard
S. Woolfolk, except Thomas G-,
the elder son, were murdered with
an axe, at his farm residence in
Bibb county.
Early next morning suspicion
was directed to Tom, and he was
arrested and hurried to the jail in
Macon to avoid mob violence.
In October following he was
tried iii Bibb Superior Court and
convicted of murder. On a mo
tion for a new trial the case was
carried to the Supreme Court, and
the new trial was granted, on tech
nical grounds.
In March, 1888, he was again
placed on trial in Bibb Superior
Court, but after the jury was made
up one of the jurors Was heard to
express his belief that Tom was
guilty, and a mistrial was declared,
Then an effort was.made to-secure
another jury, but the jury box of
the county was exhausted without
securing a jury. Then a change
of venue was ordered, and Judge
Gnstin ordered the next trial to
take place in Houston Superior
Court. The case was called at Per
ry on the first Monday in June,
1889. The trial continued three
weeks, and Thomas G. Woolfolk
was again convicted of murder.
He was sentenced to be hung on
the 16th of August, but this sen
tence was not executed, the - case
having been carried to tho Su
preme Court.
In July last the judgment of the
coort below was confirmed
On the night of the 13th day of
October Woolfolk was brought to
Perry, Houston Superior court be
ing in session. The following day
Judge G. F. Gober, presiding in
place of Judge A. L. Miller, sen-
liorseB won three tenced him to be hung on October
29th.
Since his arrival here he has
been closely guarded day and
night. The ministers of our
churches visited him almost daily,
and to them and others he protest
ed his innocence, and declared him
self ready to die, and satisfied that
his sins had been forgiven.
A few nights after his imprison
ment here he offered the guard
8500 to liberate him, and a few
nights afterward offered a bribe
for a bottle of morphine. These
bribes "being indignantly refused,
he entreated Mr. Jobson to bring
him a small quantity of morphine
each day, saying that he needed it
to enable him to hold up under the
tryingordeal. He didn’t get even the
smallest mite of the drug asked for.
The day guard - was also ap
proached, and asked for the privi
lege of walking out in the jail yard.
This liberty was denied him, and
the day of execution approached. „
These guards were selected for
their sterling integrity, and nei
ther would have thought a,moment
of betraying this trust, though
thousands of dollars had been offer
ed.
Last Thursday his sister, Mrs.
Cowan, came to see him, and Wooi-
folk was carried to the court house
under guard, w T here the last meet
ing between them took piace. Mrs.
Cowan entreated Sheriff Cooper
not to be the executioner, as he had
been kind to Tom aud his rela
tives, and she didn’t want her kind
feelings toward him' to be marred
by that act.
She made arrangements for the
body to be sent to_»Hawkiusville
for interment.
Mrs. Crane and Mrs. Edwards,
aunt and sister, held two inter
views with Tom in the court house,
Sunday and Monday. On Monday
Mrs. Crane contemplated going to
Atlanta to implore Gov. Gordon to
grant a respite, but after conferr
ing with Capt. Rutherford,'decided
not to do so. ' ;.
Monday afternoon several par
ties, Clerk Wellons among.them,
were called into the sheriff’s office
by request of Woolfolk, and it is
presumed a paper transferring his
property was executed.
Monday Sheriff Cooper tele
graphed Gov. Gordon concerning
the guard, asking that the South
ern Cadets of Macon be .sent down,
to act in concert with the Perry
Rifles. This Gov. Gordon de
clined to do, saying the authority
of the sheriff was adequate without
calling aid from other communi
ties.
Rev. J. O. Brewton spent nearly
the entire morning ^ Tuesday with
the condemned man*during which
time a large number of letters
were written, to relatives and
friends. Woolfolk again protest
ed his innocence, declaring em
phatically that he had
aion to make.
Dr. E. W. Warren, of Macon,
visited Woolfolk in his celi Tues
day afternoon, and again daring
the morning Wednesday, in com
pany with bur ministers.

the advisability of going to Atlan

for Woolfolk, but finally decided
not to do so.

As ii is veporier eute. .-1 the j
Tuesday night, Woolfolk was talk
ing to the guard, saying:
“Some people have tried to get
me to confess, but I have nothing
to confess. I didn’t commit the
crime, and I won't tell a lie to
please the people.”
He talked unconcernedly, and
laughed heartily, at something that
sounded like a joke at the expense
of one of Sheriff Cooper’s depu
ties.
After protesting his innocence
he said, in answer to questions:
“I believe Jack DuBose either
helped to commit the murder, or
saw-those who did it. They said
Jack was crazy, and sent him to
the asylum. Well, no one but a
crazy man, or a demon, could have
committed 'that crime. Nobody
who believes in a God and a future
life could have done it. I don’t
know who did it, and to save my
life, I wouldn’t accuse any man
of it, unless I had proof. I believe
foui or five persons helped do it,
When I jumped up, I thought it
was a general thing, aud^that all
the neighbors were being done the
same way. I sent a runner to a
neighbor’s house, but expected.him
to bring back news that murder
had been,committed there too.”
A confession' has constantly been
expected by many of the people
during the last several days, while
others believed that no confession
would be made. An attempt to
commit suicide, or to escape, has
been expected, but the vigilance of
Sheriff Cooper and his guards has
absolutely prohibited anything of
that sort. Nearly every one who
has talked with him expresses the
belief that he is deficient in feel
ing, and that he has never fully
appreciated the situation with re
gard to the great .hereafter.
In talking with a friend of Mrs.
Cowan, yesterday morning, con
cerning the details of nis burial, be
expressed unconcern, though say-
he preferred that his sisters
would uot see him in his coffin. He
wanted a decent burial, but said he
didn’t care anything about the de
tails.
The train at noon Tuesday
brought an extra coach fall, and
that night about 200 people came
on ihe train. A few came in ve
hicles from the surrounding coun
try .Tuesday afternoon, and a con
tinuous stream poured into the
town from all directions yesterday
morning. Some coine ns far as 40
miles in buggies. ,
At about ten o’clock an extra
train load of people came 'in, and
the regular train at 12:30 brought
another large crowd. The hotels
-and boarding houses were filled to
overflowing, aud many were forced
to lake the best fare they could
get ou the streets.
The crowd was evidently about
one-third whites and twp-thirds
blacks, Ihe greater /portion of the
whites being visitors from other
counties, and nearly.all the ne-
groesTesidents of Houston.
' The night guards inform hs that
Woolfolk • slept : soundly Monday
night, after ten o’clock, and had to
b'e aroused for breakfast Tuesday
morning, Tuesclay night he did
not go to sleep until midnight, but
from that time : he slept soundly
until morning.

that night—reporters for Macon

Woolfolk was shaved by a color
ed barber at about II o’clock)
At"about 11:30 R. S. and W. W.
Woolfolk, cousins of the condemn
ed man, entered the cell and con
versed with him, and during the
morning Mr. Cowan, a brother-in-
law, held,a last interview.
Dr. Warren, of Macon, and Revs.

house again prayed with him about
noon.
During the morning he dictated

read on the gallows.
At about 'one o’clock the Perry
Rifles marched" to the jail, and as

ther side of the close carriage in
waiting.
A few minutes later Woolfolk
was brought out, and with him
Sheriff Cooper, .Deputy Sheriff

tered the carriage. .

his innocence of the crime for the

demned to death. Tho appeal
for the future welfare of his sis
ters was most feelingly uttered,and
sobs choked his voice, though no
tears fell, aud he continued with

The scaffold was mounted at
1:12. Prayers for mercy and sal-
valtion were then offered by Dr. E.
W. Warren, and Pie vs. J. C. Brew-
Dr. Warren then said that
held a paper that contained Wool
folk’s last statement, which he
would read at his request
The following is a verbatim
copy of the statement as originally
written by Dr. Warren at the dic
tation of Woolfolk, and signed by
Woolfolk.
•‘I, Thomas G. Woolfoik, realiz
ing that the infinitely wise and
Holy God sees my heart, and
knows all that [ have ever done,
and fully understanding that I
must stand before His judgement
bar, and that to-day, in a few hours,
I shall be called into His presence,
do in view of the solemnity af the
occasion,[declare my innocence,and
declare as my last declaration, that
that I did not take the life of my
father, or auy member of the fam
ily, nor have I any knowledge of
the person, or persons, who did
the murderous deed.
(Signed) Thos. G. Woolfolk.
Fnrewells were then spoken, and
in a low tone Woolfolk said to
Sheriff Cooper:
‘You have been kind io me, as
have the others here, and I want
to part as friends.
His last wards, were to Sheriff
Cooper:
“Good-bye. You have been kind
to me.”
Woolfolk was standing on the
scaffold facing east. The hands
and legs of Woolfolk were pinion
ed with ropes, and then the hang
man’s knot am?cap were adjusted
successively. Standing on the
eastern side of the scaffold, facing
the condemned man, Sheriff Coop
er placed his right hand on the le
ver, pulled it sharply backward,
aud Thomas G. Woolfolk dropped
to death, at 1:31 o’clock. The
drop —the last act in the record of
the-most heinous crime ever com
mitted in Georgia—was about 8
feet.
The fall was|straight down, and
tho body hang rigidly, except a
few scarcely perceptible efforts to
draw up the lower limbs.
Drs. C. R. Mann and L. A. Fel
der then took charge of the body,
by virtue of court appointment.
Death ensued, by strangulation, in
25 minutes, and 11 minutes later
the body was cut down and at once
placed in the coffin.
The coffin, a metalic casket, sil
ver mounted, satin-lined, inscribed
“at rest,’’was brought from Hawk-
insville,. and the body was carried
there for interment.
Woolfolk stood on the scaffold a
splendid specimen of physical
manhood, wearing a heavy mous
tache and short goatee. He was
dressed in a neat new suit of black.
While the paryers were offered
he stood with bowed head, with
left baud to his brow, and occa
sionally his fiugers twitched ner
vously.
About 8,000 people witnessed
the execution.
Six members of the Houston ju
ry that convicted him. witnessed
the execution,
Last week we claimed that tne
Perry Rifles had won the first prize
in the state military prize drill at
the Piedmont Exposition.
The prize was awarded to our
company Friday afternoon, and
the boys came home ' Saturday
morning, Capt. Davis having in his
possession a check for one thou
sand dollars, awarded by the Pied
mont Exposition Company.
This prize was won over the
Brunswick Riflemen,and the Floyd
Rifles of^Mncon. The Brunswick
company was awarded the second
prize—SoOO.
At Fort Vailey the Perry Rifles
received cordial congratulations,
Dr. W. I. Green giving expression
to the feelings of Fort Valley in a
neat address. In behalf of the Ri
fles Judge A. C. Riley responded.
In addition to this, Fort Valley
will present to the Rifles a hand
some chandelier, to cost 840, as a
token of their glad, appreciation,of
the winning qualities of our mili
tary company.
At Perry the boys were cordially
welcomed by a large number of la
dies, gentlemen and boys.
The post office was decoi-ated,
and across the street in front Post
master Reed had swung to the
breeze a white banner of welcome,
on which was inscribed in large
letters, “Perry—(a picture of a
rifle)---Welcome—Thrice Wei
come—to the Boys who Work to
Win,” —
Thrice have the Perry, Rifles
contested for prize money* in mili
tary contests, aud thrice have they
been first victors.
On the first occasion they ware
given a magnificent banquet on
their return to Perry; next time a
purse of 8100 was presented to
them. Now- they are welcomed
with heartfelt joy, and a beautiful
silk flag will be presented to them
as soon as it can be made to order.
