Contined from Page One. to nee the city editor. When she had seated herself she said: “My husband Is a murderer. I want you to put It In the paper. He has driven me away from home, and I want the people to know that he murdered a convict In South Carolina seven years ago.” Sho spoke, without a trace of emo tion, In a matter-of-fact voice. "He left me Tuesday,” sho contin ued, "and went to the home of his mother, In Cobb county. They tell me he Is now living In DoKalb county. "My name (s Katie Jackson. My husband’s name Is Andrew Jackson. I was a Doyle before I married, and lived In Fulton county. *’J married him sevetj years ago. \1).,ui tw<« w-i-ks nfi*»r w«» wore mar ried he told me one night: •' ” ’If anybody comes here and asks for Andrew Jackson, you tell ’em he don't live, here.' “What no said worried me a whole Idt, and I kept after him. After n while he told me he had killed a convict In South Cirnllna. He said the detectives got after him nnd he ran away. Then they almost caught him nnd he knocked onfc off n, trestle and got nwny. "When he ran away Tuesday he took his three children with him and left our two children with me. "Since he has deserted me I want the people to know that he Is a murderer," she said In conclusion. Her voice had never varied, had nev er Indicated the slightest of feeling. In her dull, leaden, lifeless eyes there was something strange, eerie, uncanny. But ns she walked out she began to cry softly. , SHE JOURNEYS TO SEE SHERIFF OF DeKALB. It was suggested to her that she toll him what sho had Just related. She saw Sheriff Reagan Tuesday. Her story was exactly what she had said In the office of The Georgian. Sho said she could give no particulars of her husband’s alleged crime; that sho knew something more, but would not tell unless she were forced to; In an swering questions as to her own life ond relatives, sho frequently contra dicted previous statements. Hherlff Reagan Investigated the mat ter carefully. Ho found that Jackson bore an excellent reputation ns a farm er, although he Is poor and has never risen above the estate of renter. John Leach, of DeKalb county, for whom, Jackson has worked for years, says he Is a square, straightforward fel low', nnd that while he cannot testify as to Jackson’s whereabouts seven years ago, he believes tho wife’s charges to be unfounded. Jackson said he could not under stand why his wife should make such a chnfge. Ho said she lmd left his home a week ago, taking with her their two children. He said that sev eral times before she had left home, but that she had always returned lift- er a while. He ventured no opinion as to her motives. 18 IT AN HALLUCINATION OR MOVE FOR REVENGE? Unless further evidence Is secured or something Is heard from South Carolina In substantiation of her charges, Mrs. Jackson's husband will never face this charge of murder in a court. Mrs. Jackson’s story either develops a clew to what would become ono of Houth, or else she Is tho victim of an hallucination. Or Is she seeking revenge for some real or fancied wrong? "f think she’s a little bit off," said Sheriff Reagan. LOBBY” TALK CAUSES FIGHT IN LOWER HOUSE Contined from Page Qnt.
