WOMAN CHARGES
MURDER TO HUSBAND j
Contined from P*fle One.
to see the city editor.
When she had seated herself she
said:
“My husband la u murderer. I want
you to put It In the paper. He hns
driven me away from home, and I want
the people tn know that he murdered a
convict In South Carolina seven years
ago/’
She spoke without a trace of emo
tion, In a matter-of-fact voice.
“He left me Tuesday,*' she contin
ued, “and went to the home of his
mother, JA Cobb county. They tell me
he Is living In Do Kalb county.
“My rname is Katie Jackson. My
husband's name Is Andrew Jackson.
I was a Doyle before I married, and
lived In Fulton county.
T married him seven years ngo.
About two weeks after we were 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 he said worried me a whole
lot, and I kept after him. After a while
he told me he had killed a convict In
South Carolina. He said the detectives
got after him and he ran away. Then
they almost caught him and he knocked
one off a trestle and got away.
“When he ran away Tuesday he took
his three children with Mm and left
our two children with me.
'Since he has deserted trie I wont mw*
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 as she walked out she began to
cry softly.
SHE jdURNEYS TO SEE
SHERIFF OF DsKALB.
It was suggested to her that she
sod the sheriff of DeKalb county and
tell him what sho had Just related.
She saw 8herlfT Reagan Tuesday.
Her story was exactly what she lmd
said In the office of The Georgian. She
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
and relatives, she frequently contra
dicted previous statements.
Sheriff Hcagan Investigated tho mat
ter carefully. He found that Jackson
bore an excellent reputation as a farm
er, although he Js poor and hns never
risen above the estate of renter. John
I.ench. of DeKalb county, for whom
Jackson has worked for years, says
he Is a square, straightforward fol
low, and that while ho cannot testify
ns to Jackson's wdiereabouts seven
years ngo, he believes tho wife’s
chnrges to be unfounded.
Jackson said he could not under
stand w hy his wife should make such
a charge. Ho snld she had left Ills
home a week ngo, taking with her
their two children. He said that sev
eral times before sho had left home,
but that she had always returned aft
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 Mouth
Carolina In substantiation of her
charges, Mrs. Jnckaon'a husband will
never face this charge of murder in a
court.
M rs. Jackson's story either develops
a clew* to what would become one of
the strangest criminal cases In the
Bouth. nr else she Is the vlctltp of an
hallucination.
> Or Is she seeking revenge for aome
real or fnncled wrong?
"I think she's a little bit off," sold
Sheriff Reagan.

Tallapoosa circuit, which was tried a
f.’W vi-iti-H -I«• ► III tin* superior court at
Atlanta, In which our firm, with Joe
S. James, of Douglnsvllle, and T. W.
Rucker, of Atlanta, represented Judge
Janes.
"Mr. Whitley won that suit, but since
that time ho has repeatedly stated that
he proposed to get even with tho law
yers and the witnesses against him.
and has frequently stated to members
of the house that he was against tho
Mattingly bond J>UI because the claim
waa represented by my brother. TMs
Is all I have to say now on the sub
ject/'
Mr. Whitley’s 8tstement.
Dr. Whitley made the following
statement: N
"I had Just been talking to Senator
Reed about some local matters In
Douglas county. I had returned to my
desk to get the proofs of the local hill
from Douglas county. I started back
to tho senate and mot Mr. Hill at the
back of the hall. 1 only bowed to him
and ho said; 'Damn you, don’t you
speak to me.' I told him I didn't taro
to speak to him, whereupon he said:
'God damn you, If you lidd gotten part
of that mane}' yesterday you would
have voted for that bill' (the Mattingly
bond bill).
"I (bid him he was 'an InfernnI liar."
whereupon he used «n even worse epi
thet, i" bad t«i bo printed, which I re
turned him Instantly, ami tho fighting
began. He lift me with a stick. I
Immediately struck him In tho face
with iny fist, knocking him away, and
he ran back and struck me again, at
which time I got In « blow suflh lent to
knock him down, whereupon the
gathered around and pulled me
'I suppose (he whole troubli
curred about my statement In tho
house yesteiday In regard to using per-
Jured witnesses In n law suit.
“The charges I then made «rc correct.
1 li.nl talked with Mr. Men If 111 about
it privately and lie lmd told me ho wits
very sorry the witnesses were used, anil
If he had known before what he did
afterwards lie would never have used
them.
“Mr. lien Hill and myself had talked
the matter over a time or two. and
Mr. Hill told me what he hnd said
about me In public he was sorry Mr,
and perhaps the things he said about
me were In the heat of debate and he
recognised they were too harsh for one
gentleman to say about another.
“I fold him then and there that
should I ever reply to him In public at
any time and say something that he
might think a little Imrsh. he could just
consider It said In the heat of debate. ,
•ourso I regret such an occur- I
rence In the house, or any other like
notoriety, but feel clearly satisfied that
there was no other course for me to
pursue/’
Wants Visitors Barred.
