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. “LOBBY” TALK CAUSES FIGHT IN LOWER HOUSE Confined from -Page One.
