Frcston Valentine alias Fierce Wingfield
convicted of the murder of 3Ir. W.
M. Vales, expiated hia crime
on the gallows in tho jail yard today. As
early as D this morning crowds of negroes be
gan to gather in the strocts around the jail
yard, and by m>on hundreds were in the vicin
ity perched in trees ami on housetops. Admis
bion to tho jail yard <ould only lie had through
tickets issued by the sheriff. Fully hOO people
wero present. Tho police and military
stationed both insido and outside of tho jail,
and kept tho crowd remarkably quiet.
A BLESPLBSB NIGHT.
The prisoner passed a sleepless night, all tho
time being spent with Rev. Messrs. Tolbert,
Fame s Walker and Frazier, colored preachers,
and 1'olhmian Hawkins, who kept the death
watch. The preachers were engaged in relig
ions services with him throughout
the entire night. At 8 o'clock
this morning ho ate a hearty breakfast,
iUr which ho 6pentthc time until 1 o'clock
praying and singing and bidding friends good
bye. The sheriff, the deputy and the hangman
entered the cell a few minutes before 1 oolock
to carry him to tho scaffold. He askod to bo
allowed a llnal prayer. Fivo minutes were
granted him, in which he made an excellent
prayer for an uneducated negro. At FlOo'clock
tho
PKATII PROCESSION*
formed, consisting of the sheriff and deputies,
Hangman Newman, Jailer Collins, the preach
ers and the prisoner, tho latter having oil j
straight jacket, and being dressed in a plain
black suit of clothes. From the cell tho march
progressed along the cortidor, down tho stops,
through the hadt door of tho jail into tho
western side of tho yard, where tho scaffold
had been erected. Valentine did not show
tho least degree of fear, aud last night
and this morning laughed a number of
times whilo in conversation with his
attendants. Jlo moved with steady
steps to the scaffold, which he ascended in tho
samo quiet manner, and sat in a chair in tho
rear. On each side sat a preacher, and iu
front stood Deputy Sheriff Campbell aud
Hangman John Newman. Immediately after
reaching tho scaffold he arose, stood ou tho
trap door and made the following remark):
Fi lends, I'll soon be aonc from you. I’ll soon bid
you farewell. I am now done with troubles ami
tribulations. I curry Iwyand with roe the cup of
Jesus. I leave behind me the cup of Jesus for you
to pray. Jesus, oh Je«ux has l»ecn good to roc.
The best thing to do is to believe in Jc«u*. Jesus
whom I depended u|K)»i. The walls of my cell
have rocked w hen you wero disturbed, but Jesus
was with me, and couho1c.1 w ith me. Today I
leave you. The Jailer has been good
to me, friends have been kind
to me. 1 pay farewell, and may Jesus conduct you
to urn me In heaven. Farewell to nil!"
Messrs. Tolbert, Faroes and Walker, tbo
prcachors, then prayed for him and bid him
good-bye. Leaving tho scaffold, Hangiusn
Ncwninu then put the ropo around his nock,
tied hia kuccs and arms together, and adjusted
the black cap. As Mr. Nowmau was arranging
tne rope ho asked if it was too tight. Valon-
tine answered:
"It is pretty tight, hut that dou’t matter,
I’ll loon l»e gone.”
Newman then left tho scaffold. Valentine
never moved, nor did his knees trcmblo. At
the signal Newmau sprung tho trap at 1:2'»
o'clock. A sudden swish, the clang of tho trap
aud tho next instant Preston Valentino was
banging below, but the ropo being rather long
CAUGHT UNDER HIM KLIIOW,
and [he remained hangiug in that
position fully half n minuto, before ho
dropped to tho ropo'a end. Thero'.was consid
erable struggling for about two mi mites, and
then nil was quiet. After fifteen minutes Dr.
Wilcox prouounccd him dead, saying that his
death was produced by struugiilution.
The body was then taken down, put in a cof
fin and sent to Trenton, 8. C., to hla friends,
whero It will he buried tomorrow*. The execu
tion wan pronounced by nil present somowhat
of a bungle and caused Valentino unucce3s:iry
suffering, but it was tho unanimous opinion
that no suffering was too groat for one wuo has
been thrice a murderer.
Till. KTORY or THE CRIME,
The story of tho murder for which Preston
Valentino was hanged today is one full of bru
tal incident. It was on the morning of tho 12th
of September, issi, that the city was shocked
by tho news that Mr. William Vales, who lnd
been thirty years night watchman of tho Au-
S ista street car cuufFnny, was found murdered
i the stables, his body terribly cut up and his
flesh roasted. A pick ax was found by his
side, the drawer of tho desk near by hod been
broken open and $38.50 iu change bad been
stolen therefrom. The sight was a most re
volting one. Lying across tho doorway which
separated the superintendent's ofllce from tho
anteroom was the chnrred body of tho poor old
. His head and neck remained in tho
oflicc; his hair burned off and blood-clotted
from the violent contusion on tho top of his
bend, aud only a small portion of the features
recognizable. Around him were pools of blood
which hud prolnhly stopped the progress of
tho tire there, and from his limbs tho clothes
and skin had burned off and were pooling
away. Jlix shoes ulouo remained uticnarrod.
Hla hat wan picked up near his feet, aud by his
side wua tlio watch which he was about to wiud
aud which was evidently to record his eleven
o'clock visit to tlii* room. Through the
scoivhid dial could bo plainly *ocu the last
puiutuie at half.pa.st ten. Evidently tho
old gentleman luid been killed, his body sutu*
rated with oil and theu, horrible to relate, tho
fiend hud touched a mutch to him before his life
bleed hud ceased to bound through his veins,
and before his pulce luid recorded tho deadly
work of tho cruel implement which lay at his
aide. The suggestive holes in tho floor told
that the plan ot tho assassin hud been to hum
dowd tho buildiug and wipe out tho blo<kl*
•tuju with a linger of fire.
Suspicion ut first rested upon several negro
attendants, hut investigation soon established
their innocence, it was difficult, howovor, to
restrain the people from lynching suspected
parties and it was uot until certain well dell ti
ed dews pointed to another that thetuspected
parties, were safe from intrusion. The money
stolen from the desk was all iu nickles aud
dime*. It was nsmtuiued that Preston Val
entine had bem spending money of this de
scription quite Freely, and in conseqence the
officers shadowed him. Preston suddenly dis
appeared from view, aud for eighteen months
hla whereabouts was a iuy-Ury. It was
known that ho had made several recent visits
to the city, but he was always shielded by poJ-
pie of hii color, who helped him out of town
again. •
' THU MURDERER CAUOUT.
Detective Purcell undertook the task of run
ning the murderer down. 4Jc received mauy
clews, but was often led astray by the cunning
negroes, who suspected his game. On the 20th
of March lust, however, Purcell shadowed a
man whom he Mispcctcd of being a friend of
Valentine. He followed the suspect to the
posteffice, raw him get a letter, rend it. and put
itin hU pocket. (Wain Purodl asked him
fur the letter, which he denied having recuivvd
but wbi. h he finally gave to the cantdn. with
a idetureof Tcru Jones, that ho had just re
ceived. This was all the captain wanted. This
did the work:

Captain Purcell wanted nothing more;all was
plain Hilling now, and he was off for Low Moor,
Vn. He telegraphed the sheriff of Allegheny
county to meet him at the depot, but as tin-
sheriff lived out of town he wua unable to sec
him until Friday morning. When Captain
I’lireell met Mr. 8. (i. Ryer, the sheriff of Alle
ghany county, he told him us briefly as possi
ble his story, showed him dho picture
ard litter, nud told him* that he
would give him fifty dollars if be would
place Valentine, alias Tom Jones, In his hands
to he taken Lack to Georgia. Together with
the sheriff they wcut to tho Low Moor furnace.
Through the kindness of Mr. .Skelton they got
Tom Jones into the office, whore lie was turned
over to Csptuiu Purcell, who put the haiidcufl's
oil liim instant* r. As won as ho saw Captain
Purcell, anil the detective saw Valentine, they
Loth recognized each other, aud Valentine's
heart rank within him.
When tho news of Valentine's arrest reached
Augusta the wildest excitomont prevailed ami
the determination was freely expressed that ho
should ho lynched immediately upon bis arri
vul In the city. This made it necessary to ex
ercise some strategy for tbo purposo of elud
ing the mob. Even after bo was lodged in the
jail in this city the officers had to exerciso
great vigilance to prevent tbo miscarrying of
the law. The prisoner was put on trial on the
7th of .May last with Judge
H. D. 1). Twiggs ns Ids leading
counsel. He stoutly maintained his innocence,
but the ca£G was proven against him, and ho
was sentenced to bo bunged on tho second day
of July. An apical therefrom was taken, to
tho Ftttte Supreme court, where the fiuding of
the * ouit below was affirmed. In consequent o
of thin Judge Itoncy rescntonced the prisoner to
be hanged on the 21st of January.
A RELATED CONFESSION.
It was not uutil every legal remedy was ex
hausted and no escape from the gallows re
mained that Preston Valentino admitted
his guilt. He then acknowledged thatliis right
name was Pierce Wiugfell, having his homo in
Edgefield county, South Carolina. There ho
murdered his colored paramour, Naricy Harlcn,
nml fled to this city, changing his name to
Preston Valentine. Here he married a likely
cdlorcd woman with whom he lived until he
was led away by Lucy Darlington. After tho
murder of Valo he assumed tho nntno of Tom
Jones, uml for eighteen mouths traveled from
place to pluco in the vaiu hope
of escaping from his crimes. When ho reached
Low Moor, Vo., ho reopened correspondence
with some Augusta friends under tho Mamo
of Tom Jones. He also married a colored wo
man named Fannie Hill. When ho whs ar
rested by Detective Purcell, the friends of this
woman wero so indignant at tho disc-ovory
that ho was a murderer, that ho again nar
rowly escaped lynching. Speaking of the
muidcr of Mr. Vales, ho described it thus:
on me night of the murder I went to tho eanul
ink opposite the ear stables and sat their until
o’clock p. m. I then arose from there, went to
tbo fence opposite the bridge, crossed the same,
went through the lot, then in the stable and con

During the whole of bis prison life Valentino

Cleveland, Ohio, January 20.—Ja 1
Cabal eke Is a well-to-do carpenter. His wife
was out of temper at the breakfast table this
morning ami refused to talk to her husband.
After he and his oldest son went to work, the
mother sent two sons,aged fourteen and fifteen,
on errands. When they returned they could
not get into tho house. In tho back yard they
found» younger brother bleeding from many
wounds. They speedily called help and broke
into tho house and found their two little sliter.4,
aped five and three, and a brother, aged
three months, dead from many stabs. A girl
of eight was seiionsly hurt, and she with tho
boy found in the back yard will probably die.
A bloody pair of shears told tho story. A
hunt was made for tho mother. She was found
iu tho cellar hanging from a rafter ,dcad. She
had killed her threo children, mortally injured
two others and had then suicided. The two
children who wero still alive were removed to
a neighbor's house. No cause for the terrible
deed is given. Tho husband does not think
that his wife was insane.
Cleveland, O., January 22.—Fuller details
of the C'abalck tragedy have been received,
Mrs. Antonio Cabalek, a Bohemian woman,
butchered three of her children, f(tal
ly maimed. two others and then
hung herself. The instrument with which
the killed tho little ones was a pair
of long shears. Tho husband of the won
Yaclar Cabalek, a carpenter. They had eight
children—Albert, nineteen years old; Henry,
fifteen years; Jimmy, twelve years; (Jeorge,
ten years; Tonie, the oldest girl, eight years;
Mamie, six years; Anuie, four years, and Willie,
the baby, three months.
Tho family lived in a neat brick cottAgo near
the southern boundary of tho city, Dear
Bcyerle’s park. About threo months ago tho
family was enlarged by the advent of a babo,
boy, whom the parents named Willie. Mr
Cabalek was very ill after the birth of the
L'hild, and since that timo she has acted very
ijuccrly, eo much so ns to alarm their oldest
son. This morning tho husband, wife aud
three eldest children arose as usual, and
took their breakfast. Mrs. Cabalek was very
cross, and scolded her husband auil children
without reason. Cabalek and Albert loft the
house for their work. Shortly afterward tho
mother sent Harry for some milk to a store
half a mile away, whilo George, aged ten, was
sent to another store in an opposite direction
for groceries.
When Harry returned he found all tho doors
locked, and becoming frightened ho ran to
where his father and brother were working.
Tho oldest son returned to the bouse with the
lad and broke one of the doors open. As ho
entered the lower bedroom a horrible sight mot
his gaze. Upon the bed he saw his youngest
brother aud sister, tjit’ir clothes covered with
blood. He ran into tho yard, but a child's cry
inside aroused him and ho hurried
into tho bedroom. His mater To*
nie was lying behind tho bed, fairly wol-
tering in blood, but conscious. Tho yonrg
man by this time was frantic, llo dashed out
of tho house, and in tho yurd met his fathor.
The two again entered tho houso and insti
tuted a search for tho mother. 8ho was no
where to bo found down stairs, and they thon
went npstairs. In tho front room a pair of
long scissors, with bloody prongs, was lying
on the floor. A clothes line which was kept in
this room wni missing, and with torri-
ble misgivings the two men went
back down stairs, aud lifting tho
trap-door to the cellar climbed into tho round
brick vaulted baaoment. Here, suspended from
tho rafters by tho strong cloth(s line, wai tho
body of tho wifo and mother. Near her feet
was an empty nail kog, which she had evidently
used as a platform. The husband took his
knifo from bis pocket and cut tho rono, whilo
the eon caught tho fulliug body. It was carried
up stairs into tho parlor, and tho son felt the
pulse and heart, but life wasextiuut.
Two physicians were summoned. They ar
rived soon, and found three of tho children on
tlio bed. Mamie, aged six years, lay across the
S lllow, dead. She was terribly cut in tho ab-
omcn, at least thirteen gashes boing found in
her side just below thejieart.
Annie, a pretty little four-year old, was
stretched across the foot of the bed. Bho was
also dead. Tbcre wero found thirty-sovon
gaping wounds in her bowels. Until that time
the babv had been forgotten. A little neigh
bor girl, who was in the kitchen, no
ticed tlio cradle pushed into a recess behind tho
door, nnd with childish inquisitiveness pushed
back the cloth covering. The fatAl scissors
had been used upon tbo inlnnt. The body lay
curled up, but the garments below tho want
were soaked with blood. Twenty gashes were
found in the abdomen, so close together that
they looked like ono great cut. Tiro hjdy was
completely disemboweled.
Tho box Jimmie was undoubtedly the first
attacked by the mother. Bho enrno to him
whilo he was in bed and stabbed him. He
struggled desperately for his lifo and escaped,
but liia mother followed him and succeeded in
ng the shears sixteen timos into his left
fore he got oat of the rear door. Tho
boy was afterward found in au out-house, his
bowels protruding from one of the larger
wounds. Evcrv thrust of the shears went iuto
the left sides or tho victims, penetrating from
ono to four inches. It is evident that tho
mother attacked her children while they wore
asleep in the bed.
The mother, laid out on the bare fioor in tho
unused parlor, was a terrible sight. She was
stock iugless aud shoeless, and was attired in a
loose fitting, low necked, ragged wrapper. The
cords of the clothes line had cut a terrible gash
in her neck, extending completely from ear to
car. Tho blood had Issued from this wound
in trickling streams, dyeing ml the straw on
the rcllar floor, where sho ended her life. Iu
the bedroom, where.the children were murder
ed, pools of blood were every where to he seen.
The bed was one mass of red, clotted gore.
Tonic, the girl, still living, had erawlcd oft'
tho bed after the departure of her mother, and
being weak from loss of blood, fell upon a pile
of clothing. Here a hugo pool of blood waa vis
ible.
Jimmie nnd Tonie were taken to the house
of John McLskcr, near by. nnd their wanudt
dresstd. Both children were horribly hacked.
Tonie, who is in the worst condition of the
two little patients, has thirteen wounds iu
the vicinity of tho heart. Sho cannot live, but
may linger for many honrs. Jimmie was cut
in the left side of the fitumach.
The physicians say that neither of tho chil
dren cau survive. Mrs. Cabelek waa thirty-six
years old. The oldest son, Albert, says he baa
Itarcd for some time that something might
bappeu. as be more than once noticed that his
mother's mind seemed unsettled.
