jqloudy, but it brightened up along toward
o’clock, and occasional gleams of sunshine
Brightened tho somber landscape.

Plainly manifested. The prisoner
Took Ids seat on tho witness stand, and in a
tjahn. low, but earnest voice, began his state
ajent. There was not a tremor in his voice as
go began. A death-like stillness pervaded the
r WUTtroom as the measured accents of the pris
oner fell upon the assembled multitude. The
prisoner had a small sheet of paper in his
Lands, to which he frequently turned for refer
ence as he challenged and commented on tiro
several witnesses who have testified against

I' Fleise your honor and gentlemen of the iury—

fbTOthers, my mother, my sisters and Mrs. West, x
■Sly I am an innocent man. and I most humbly nope
you will, aud I ask you to pay tlie closest attention
,Jo what I have to say about tliis terrible calamity.
We all sat up until about 9 o'clock, and then we
nil retired about the same time. I took a wash pan
!uhd some water and bathed myself and shaved my
:p?lf’ and then went to bed and slept t nt il about two
scours before day, when I was awakened by a groan
add a blow and a scream. 1 jumped up to go to my
.father's assistance—into the room where 1 heiv.d
,the noise. My brother Richard was quicker than
I was, and he rushed in ahead and was knocked
'down. I could not see what happened. The light
had been Plowed out. 1 could not. sec him. but I
iheard him fall. 1 knew that my life was in danger,
ij was greatly excited. I turned around and jninp
,Sd over my bed and out of the window on to the
Tront.p'.rch and tan down to Green L ickett's house,
ithe nearest negro house on the plantation. When
si was going out of the front vard I heard streams
®om the children. I called Green and called him
ilexame after calling him for several times, and sat
down on the steps as if he was very much
disturbed. I begged him and begged hint to
(return to the house witli me, to assist
me. to help me to protect the family. He said he was
aflaid logo up. I then got some boys to go for the
neighbors as quickly as I could. In the meantime
Andeis in James came up behind his house and he
jtvas frightened nearly to death. He agreed to go
With me. We got up by the House when he s lid:
ABoss, 1 hear somebody up there.” I said: ‘‘Have
wou go: a pistol?” He broke over towards Green
Tpckett's house. 1 called him and called
him, “Anderton” and told him to go tell M-.
(Smith to Come as quickly as possible. He said he
:was going for Smith. I listened and then 1 heard
jyoices distinctly of the parties who killed my father
Anu his family. In a little while I heard them go

it I went back to where Mr. Smith was, and sat
thQre until some of the neighbors came up. I told
Jtnem that I was very sick. The day was then about
jtd break. I went into the room and took a quilt
and lay down ou it on the porch, and I lay there
until my stepmother’s first cousin, Mr* Chambliss’
Qaughtcr, and Sylvester Chambliss’ wife
pkmo. When she came up she
saw me there; she says: ‘He did
it. He is a devil in this world.” I saw her husband

{that he done it. They would not ask how do you

Tho court then said at 5:15 p. m.:
‘ vr.ocEED with Tin: argi:::kxt,
.gentlemen. I want you to In gin .'peaking to
night. ' At that time ll'.n. Dunont Gucrry
began the opening speech of this momentous
trial. His speech is too long lor insertion hero,
bi't it was one of the most thrilling a.i li-es-es
that ever nil on the ears of a Georgia jury.
Mr. Guerry took the prisoner's
stat “.nent today and argui d that if Tom Wool
folk “would never llineh,” though submitted
to the horrible torture of being cat to death
by the crowd, why Was it. that he. was tho only
one that flinched and lied when tho murder
was being committedHe rehearsed how the
manly Kiehard went to the defense of his
father, although not near so old in life or in
the vari. d experience of Tom. He described
how Miss Pearl, the tender daughter of tho
house.and even how little five-year-old Charlie,
ran into tho room where his parents lay welt
ering in blood. He recalled how the mother,
with the noble heroism of womanhood, half
arose and tried to shield her suffering husband.
The speaker then went on to say that Thomas
G. Woolfolk was tho only one that flinched on
that terrible occasion. He spoke of how
Tom Woolfolk had tied from tho house and
had went to tho house of Green I socket t. re
maining there only a few minutes, after which
he returned to tho fated house and went
through it all alone. The speaker argued that
Tom Woolfolk, while changing his clothes,
and while scrubbing up the bloody footprints,
must necessarily have discovered the assassin.
During a portion of the speech some of tho
court officers, who knew the surroundings of
that dark tragedy, and members of tho jury
were melted to tears. It was like an avalanche
of denunciation and was overwhelming in its
condemnation. The dim'light, of a dozen gas
jets fell on the half darkened faces of more
than a thousand people who filled every inch
of the sitting space and stood up in tho aisles
until the building was filled to overflowing.
Yet over this immense congregation there fell
a hush of awe and fear as the speaker continued
his sentences, expressive of condemnation in
every word.
The speaker then called attention to the
shirt found in the well, and made the point
that even the defendant, in his statement,
failed to try to account for that shirt, and that
Tom Banks, John Jeff, nor Silas Woolfolk,
neither had access to them. So the argument
went on, link after link, until the last garment,
even the rocks, was reached. All the micro
scopic evidence was gone over, and then the
speaker came to tho terrible accusation—the
print of a human hand. The speaker said:
“Whose hand was that.’ vol Almighty surely
knows Was it the hand of George Caldwell, Tom
Bunks or John Jeff? it was placed’there on the
girment mid ou tho thigh of Thomas G. Woolfolk !
Was it the hand of Providence that placed it there?”
The speaker described the position of the
imprint. In handling himself in any way he
would never have placed his hand in that posi
tion. He would, in handling himself in any
manner, have blooded himself in some other
manner before he got that low down. The pris
oner had on drawers, tied with a cotton string.
In undoing that and in bundling his tipper and
under garments, there was no stain on any of
those. “Whose hand was that?” exclaimed
the speaker. “I think I know, and yet Ido
not know. Witnesses have testified that there
was a coarse scream, like a woman’s voice.
The other was a scream such as a girl would
make—‘Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord!’ She cried in
her helplessness, mid in her mental agony the
poor girl grabbed that brute by the leg.”
At 10:15 Captain John Hutherford began
liis speech.
The following is an abstract of his speech.
“Gentlemen of the jury; That man had
only spoken to me a few moments, when I felt
as a man and a lawyer that it was my duty to
defend him, and upon his statement, as made
on that stand, I am willing to rise or fall.”
“Oh, how the papers Imvo_dw.elt in graphic
“parfictniirity upon this crime. It was a feast
for them. Strange as it may appear, there is
something in the public appetite that calls for
sensation, and the papers seize every opportu
nity to feed it. to them.” He dwelt
at • considerable length, and with great force,
upon tho theory of the state thaf only Tom
Woolfolk perpetrated the crime. Tho theory
of the state falls to the ground. The chain is
broken. One man could not have perpetrated
the deed alone anil ttnitMed.
it is a ph:ysical impossibility that Tom Wool
folk, or any other single man, could have
done it. “1 stand in the presence of my Cre
ator and declare that I do not believejlbat one
man could have committed tiio terrible trage
dy alone.”
Captain Rutherford uttered those words as a
man who believed what he said. He spoke
them with great emphasis and lire, “vith
hands raised and eyes uplifted heavenward.
His form seemed to expand and rise several
inches as the declaration was uttered with all
tjie magnificent eloquence of the great orator.
Cant. Rutherford asked the sheriff to hand him
the ax with which thelbutchery was made. He
took the ax by the short handle and imitated
how the blows might have been made. Tho
scene was quite a dramatic one and thrilled
the entire assembly, who, in imagination, saw
the dreadful blows being inflicted; heard the
CRUSHING SKULLS AND THE WILD SHRIEKS
and groans of the dying victims; saw the
streams of warm life-blood spurting over the
bed, on the sides of the walls and up against
the ceiling; heard the rushing of feet about
the house in the desperate effort to escape the
midnight assassin. On one of the bodies,
testimony said, that there was blows inflicted
both by tho edge and the eye of the ax.
Counsel Rutherford in handling the ax in
quired :
“Would a man in that bloody hour, who
was dealing death blows witli the back of the
ax, take time to stop, turn the ax and strike
with the sharp edge’? No, gentlemen of tho
jury,no, no. no.”
The idea sought to bo conveyed was that
more than one person had a hand in that
bloody harvest of death—but perhaps one of
tho most thrilling portions of the address was
when reference was made to the imprint of
THE BLOODY HAND
clai red to be found on the leg of Thomas
Woolfolk. The state claims that the impress
of the hand was made by some victim, who
had grabbed 'Tom Woolfolk in an effort to
escape death in an effort to avoid the blows,
yet, .s.'.id Colonel Rutherford the state
has not introduced a single witness or pre
st nted any evidence showing that a particle of
blood found on the hands of any of the
dead. How, then, could that imprint have
been nmdo on Woolfolk’s leg in the manner
claimed by Hie state. It got there, in the way
the prisom r said it did. Alt, this bloody hantl.
How tho pro. ecution love to dwell upon it. It
is there in hoc signo vinces. When you, as
upright juror.., take into consideration that the
state has not proven that blood was found
upon the hands of any of the dead, you
must not give this bloody hand
theory of the state any weight. In order to
reconcile the testimony of the witness, im
puting perjury to no man, you must, jurors,
come to the conclusion that
THE IMPRINT OF THE HAND
on the drawers was not clear, but on the con
trary was very indistinct, and was not seen by
M.. J lollis until the day after the drawers were
takei.Jimt <file wcll.boforeanyprintuf the hand
C'jttld be made ou the drawers. The hand must
have been smeared and reeking with the blood
when it rested 'on tho drawers and
soaked through to the naked flesh.
The deduction he felt authorized to
draw in tlie case is, there was not sufficient
blood on the drawers to pass through the fabric
and rest upon tlie leg. The only
persons who testified to hearing the screams on
tho night of the tragedy, were two women—
Lou Cooper and F.mma Jones. Vet the state
was unwilling to pat them on tho stand,
They were sworn by the state
and yet tlie prosecution would
not Introduce them, and it ronmined for the
defense to d‘ “o. The state had Innumerable
wltncs.i ,s. Titey filled the ai Neither
you, jurors, nor I were able to count them,

to hear t-liat tin e two women had to say.

Ait. ti.i-j Ihuu'ilit that this testimony would

would rejoice to know that a son is not guilty of
the monstrous death of his parent. They would
bo glad to learn t hat some one else was the
fiend. Do you not know that every sister's
heart would leap tor joy to find that a brother
did not slay his sister ?”
Ma;ox, Ga.. December 14.—[Special.]—It
ii. saiil that on the night tho bloody Cromwell
died, a desolating storm swept over England,
and so hist night, as the eighth day of the
Woolfork trial drew near its closej a flood of
rain fell over Bibb comity. It was such a night
as draws closer the family circle, and such a
night as makes the guilty conscience a terror
from within. The crowded court
room became as hushed as midnight,
save Captain Rutherford's voice. Ho seemed
to be aware that a thousand pairs of ears
strained to catch his words, and that a mortal
life might be lost or saved by his effort.
The speaker faced the eloquent
state’s counsel, and suddenly, wheel
ing ho wquld thunder his conclusions to
tho jury with irresistible effect. Finally ho
stopped and in an earnest voice said ho owed
tlie jury something for their patient, even kind,
attention they had given him in his long, nec
essarily long, argument. Ho thanked them,
thanked them sincerely. The report had gone
abroad that Solicitor General Hardeman
would, at that time, begin tho last speech for
the state, and tho last of tho trial, and all day
long through the drenching rain and over the
muddy roads the yeomanry of Bibb and ad
joining counties came into the city to hear
how the able state’s attorney would reply to
the great argument of Captain Rutherford.
Mr. Hardeman, in liis opening remarks,
stated that it was not necessary to go out of tlie
e> idence to find tho prisoner guilty, nor should
they mistake the ingenious argument of the
learned counsel for the defense in the cause. It
was evident that the solicitor was thoroughly
equipped and in fine condition for his arduous
task. His clear, strong voice soon filled tho
courtroom and it was soon apparent that he
was bearing all present with him. He took up
the vital points of evidence that had so long
claimed the attention of prisoner’s counsel and
out of each made a link in the terrible chain.
Ho characterized the bloody hand print, on the
drawers, a sign placed there by the Aliaighty
to fix the prisoner’s guilt. He said he would
henceforward adopt tho language of pris
oner’s counsel in describing tho scene
that there was a "deluge of blood in that
house,” and that ho would convince the jury
by tlie evidence that Tom Woolfolk's was the
guilty hand that caused the red stream to flow.
He proceeded and referred with touching
pathos to the victims’ childhood, youth, strong
manhood, womanhood and feeble old age.
Tom Woolfolk in this trying moment
SAT SILENT AND UNMOVED,
his eyes fixed before him on the floor. The de
fense had contended that the crime was com
mitted by more than one. Mr. Hardeman met
this by saying all the evidence pointed to tho

fact that five, including Richard and Charlie,
wore killed in tlie father’s room, not in their
own room.
“New,” said he, “if more '■han one waa. en
gaged in the crime and they of tho vicinity,
would they not have commenced tho attack
on Tom, Richard and Charlie simultaneously
with the attack on Mr. Woolfolk ?”
As Mr. Hardeman was proceeding, every
word telling, there suddenly rang through the
court room a cry of
“HANG nil.'! HANG HIM!”
Every face blanched, Tho cry came from a
crowd standing within the bar, on the,right of
the judge, and a slight commotion was dis
cerned throughout tho courtroom. Mrs. Crane
and Mrs. Edwards wept upon each other’s
shoulders. Judge Gustin rapped for order and
said:
“Mr. Sheriff, remove that man.”
The Last Day of tho Trial.
Macon, Ga,, December 15.—[Special.]—At
9 a. in. today Tom Woolfolk was brought to
the courthouse by tho sheriff and his deputies.
He was clean shaven and showed no symptoms
of being at all rattled. lie sat and gazed out
of the window toward the distant hills, be
yond the river, where tho home of his ances
tors was built in the long ago. The picture
on which his weary eyes rested was cheerless
and uninviting. It was a scene ot wintry des
olation, and there was not a single sunbeam to
lighten the prospect. Capt. Hardeman looked
like a inan fully prepared for the task before
him as lie arose aud began tho continuance of
THAT FEARFUL ARRAIGNMENT.
He spoke in a calm, deliberate and determ
ined manner. Ho took up the question of tho
bloody clothing and reviewed the testimony
fully." He recalled the fact that Woolfolk had
sent for water, and that tho prisoner had in
sisted that the water be brought him in a cup,
and not in tho dipper at the wash-stand. The
speaker contended, most emphatically,
t hat Tom Wool folk did use tho expression as
had just been read from the paper, that
“THE BLOOD WAS FLYING
everywhere,” when the prisoner got the fatal
speek in Ills car. Woolfolk claimed that he
did not use the language, and that it was a
mistake. Solicitor Hardeman stated in thrill
ing language, that it was a fatal mistake on
the part of the prisoner to use such language.
The speaker quoted most beautifully:
“The shadows arc many,
'Die sunlight Is one,
But in tracing the shadows
tVe find out the sun.”
In his powerful address the sneaker hurled
fart after fact in the face of the defendant. In
speaking of the blood In the well, he rehearsed
tho bloody details of the Sejioy rebellion, where
a number of women jumped into a well on the
public square ot (’awn pore, and after Havelock
recaptured the city,
THE VERY STONES
were found saturated with the blood of the
bodies who wore afterwards thrown in on top
of those who sprang into tho well.
At 11 o’clock tho speaker closed with
one of the finest perorations ever delivered.
He spoke, altogether, only three and a half
hours, but his effort v.as most masterly.
At twelve o’clock, sharp, Judge Gustin
BEGAN HIS CHARGE,
and it took three-quarters of an hour exactly
to coipplete it. Captain Rutherford, tn behalf
of the wretched prisoner whom he has so ably
defended, handed in some requests, which the
court embodied in the charge, at the same
time putting in such modifications as tho law
and the evidence in the case admitted of and
justified. The charge was fair and impartial.
The prisoner was given the Ix-neflt of every
thing that oven partook of the least shadow of
a doubt.
Tlie court had tried the case all through tlie
live-long night, when others, including the
accused, were wrappod in slumber. The audi
ence ot
AT LEAST ONE THOUSAND
persons sat spell bound while the court was
directing tho jury. There was not the least
bit of that apathy, which generally chara' ter
izi s a petit jury. Every member of that body
of just tmd true citizens, looked ar if he keenly
appreciated tho task before him.
‘ When the court concluded tflere was one

that arose from the vast assemblage, and the
jury retired to their room. They were out
only twelve minutes, and returned at 1:10 p.
m They M ledeil H. J. Harvey as foreman.
Amid the breathless sik-neo that followed
their entrance, tho jury handed in their ver
dict.
It was: “Wo the jury find defendant
guiltv.”
There was
NO MENTION OK Mf’RCY,
and it was made apparent that there was no
hone for Woolfolk.
The court then asked the prisoner to stand
up. He then asked Tom Woolfolk if there
was any reason why sentence should not bo
passed upon him. (’alm and deliberate, as
when he first, entered tho court room, witli
only a slight blanch on his expressive face,
Woolfolk arose and said that lie had lieen tried
by twelve honest, competent and intelligent
men. He felt satisfied
THEY HAD DONE THEIR DUTY,
but that prejudice had been so strong in tho
neighborhood where tlie tragedy occurred,
that men were witnesses who bad' lied about
him, although they were honest and intelli
gent men. He said the court had treated him
well, but that the court and jury had followed
the witnesses. He then hold up his hand and
in the most solemn manner again protested his
innocence.
After this tho court proceeded to deliver
sentence, and an awf.il hush fell on the crowd
ed court room as his honor sentenced Thomas
G. Woolfolk to be hanged by tho neck on
THE TENTH OF FEBRUARY
next, within one mile of the Courthouse. Drs.
Holt and Wlight were appointed to attend as
practitioners. None except the sheriff’s posse
and the relatives and friends of the prisoner to
bo present. The hanging to bo done inside an
enclosure in a private manner.
Court was then adjourned and tho faithful
jury dismissed. Woolfolk turned to his sister,
Mrs. Edwards, who was woeping bitterly, and
remarked: “Don't cry and take on that way.
I am as well off as I ever was in my life.”
WITH HANDS MANACLED,
the prisoner was then taken to the jail, follow
ed by a curious crowd, anxious to seo what
manner of man this was.
Tlie court was served with a notice of an ap
peal this afternoon, but it will bo January be
fore it will reconvene,
At 4:30 o'clock this evening
JUROR ASHER AYRES WAS MARRIED
to Miss Louise Connor. Tho wedding was an
nounced for yesterday, but tho groom could
not be present, so a postponement was inevita
ble. But at the appointed hour this afternoon
tho groom and his beautiful bride were wedded
quietly at Christ church, Rev. J. R. Winches
ter officiating. It was an unusual finale to a
most extraordinary trial.
Woolfolk in the Atlanta Jail.
Tom Woolfolk is in the Fulton county jail
again.
The prisoner reached tho city yesterday
morning securely ironed and carefully guard
ed by Nat Birdsong, tho Bibb county jailer,
and George Bassett, a special ollicer.
Mr. Scab < izbnrn was on duly when prisoner
reached the jail, and as the two walked in,
Woolfolk remarked:
“How do you do, Mr. Ozburn?”
“Oh, pretty good, Tom,” answered the
jailer. “How are yon?”
“I'm pretty fair, thank you,” answered the
prisoner, glancing at the, small rope which was
attached to his arms at the, elbows.
“So you are back, Tom,” said Air. Ozburn.
“Yes, I’m back, ami i. ließeve t‘in rigbs ulrvl
to get back. You all have treated nw mighty
kind up here.”
‘‘How long are you going to stay with us,
Tom?” asked Mr. Ozburn, as Mr. Birdsong
began untying the rope.
“Oh, 1 don’t know. You see, they have de
cided to hang mo ou tho 10th of February,”
and as he made the, remark, he niadi a desper
ate attempt to smile pleasantly, and more than
half.succeeded.
“Oh, well, that’s some time off yet,” re
marked the jailer.
“Yes, it ain’t hero yet and by law they can’t
hang me before then. Say, Mr. Ozburn, caul
have my old cell back?”
“We’ll see, Tom. |lt’s in use now,” said Mr.
Ozburn, taking down tho bunch of keys.
“Well, I’d like to have it back, and to have
my mattress put in there.” After the main
door had been closed Mr. Birdsong took a small
key from his pocket and unlocking the hand
cuffs, rcmoveil them from the prisoner’s wrist.
As tho irons were taken away Woolfolk twist
ed his hands a second, and then throwing them
though the air, said:
“Oh, that feels bettor.”
Tn a short time ho was admitted to the prison
hall, down which lie walked to his old cell.
The coll doors wore open with Mr. Ozburn
standing inside them. Tho prisoner walked
in, and then the jailer pushed the inner doorto
and locked it, and Woolfolk’s liberty was stu b
only as a ten by twelve coll will give. When
the bolts were thrown forward, the prisoner
turned his face toward the barred door, and
placing his hands through the bars, looked
out. ill a few seconds the prisoners who wore
enjoying their exercise in tho hallway gather
ed about tho cell door and began talking to tho
condemned murderer. Woolfolk spoke to
those on tho outside, answerin<; their ques
tions, except such as pertained to bls case.
Such questions ho declined to notice.
Woolfolk looks a little thinner than when he
went away. Ho is just as cool, however, as be
was before sentence had been passed upon
him. Ho was attired in the same suit ho wore
away, but hip face kwkyd cleaner and better
for the shave ho has recently enjoyed. Mr.
Walker called again, and again remained with
his client along time. yYhat passed between
the two, however, is not known, as neither at
torney or client will say, of course. During
tlie dayiWoolfolk wawjasked:
“Tom, what do you think of the verdict?”
“I don’t care to talk about it. i t make ;mo
feel a little chilly, you see, to think that they
have decided to hang me for something I did
not do.”
“Guess they will hang you on the day
designated?”
"flow can I tell. Tho sentence has been
pronounced, and I am a doomed man, it ap
pears. But my case is in the hands of attor
neys who have been faithful to me, and who
will do all they can for me."
“Did you feel uneasy in Macon?”
“I can’t say that I folt fully satisfied, if I
am to be hung. I’d rather be hung by tho sher
iff than by a mob.” The officers who
brought Woolfolk up remained in tho city un
til 3:15 yesterday afternoon, and during their
stay were seen by floNs rr ri TtoN reporters.
“How doos Woolfolk take his sentence?”
Jailer Birdsong was asked.
“Oh, just as ho takes everything. He hasn’t
flinched once.”
“Do you think there Is any hope for him?”
“Well, tho people of Macon all think not.
As a usual thing, I son and hear only one side.
That, of course, is the prisoner’s, and most of
them manage to win my sympathy. But,
somehow or other, Toni always impressed me
differently. You can’t stay with him three
days without making up your mind that he is
guilty. He himself has done more to convince
me of his guilt than al) tho lawyers In Macon
could have done.”
“Yes,” said Mr. Bassett, “his own statement
did more than anything else during tho trial
unmake mo think him guilty. For example,
that story of his about going back and feeling
ofjthe bodies was put in shindy to account for
the blood on his slothing. liis story ’don’t fit
together.”
“Do you think ho was In real danger In Ma
con?”
“Well, of cour :■ ho will b- safer hero. I'eo
ple in Macon aro more familiar with the
crime,” said Ja’h i Birdsong. “Now, I saw
those d< a<l bodies, the old gruy-haired lady 81
years old, and thpt little baby 13 months old—
and the idea is that Ma' oii people were so
much mon: Impressed with the horror and
ghastincss of tho whole thing, that tin y n ie
ce-,arily feel most concerned about Tom’s pun
ishment.”
A False Rumor,
“Tom Woolfolk lias confessed, lias ho?” re
marked a gentleman as he stepped from the
Central train at the union passenger depot yes
terday.
“When ?” asked some one in the crowd to
whom tho gentleman was speaking.
“Last night 1 guess. Why down in Macon
his full confession has been reported and is be
ing discussed, lie is represented to have
acknowledged the killing and it is said declares
that lie killed his father first.'' Tho
alleged confession created considerable talk
throughout the city, aud when it was investi
gated, indications oft ruth wi.ua encountered—
tlie only difference being that the cuntession
was said to have been made to -Judge Nisbet.
At tho jail, however, nothing was known of
the confession, and when Jailor i’oolo was in
terrogated, lie laughed, saying:
"Tnat's liosh. lie hasn't confessed.”
"But such is tho rumor,” said a Constitu
tion repertor.
"Can I help il,” said the jailer. “Suppose,
however, wo go see him.”
At the cell door Woolfolk was standing,
looking through the bars. He nodded to
those who approached him, and when ques
tioned, said:
“Contosscd? Confessed what?”
“Why, that you had killed your family.”
“And whyshouhl I confess that when I am
innocent. I never harmed any of those good
people, and of course can't and won't say that
I did. Where does nil this talk come from?”
“Macon is wild with tho story that you have
confessed and the rumors come from there.”
“Then go to Macon and get tho story,” said
Woolfolk, turning from the coll door.
This Constitution sent telegrams to Macon
asking about the confession, and during tlie
evening received tho following:
M.u on, tin., Iticeniber 17,—The Evening News
prints a sensational story concerning Tom
Woolfolk this afternoon. 11 asserts that Tom con
fessed his crime to a prominent gentleman, other
than Ills attorneys, and that lie declared he killed
