The most highly sensational tragedy that evor
occurred in Atlanta was enacted Wodncsday
night on Decatur street and tho names of tho
persons who played the leading role* iu tho
tragedy were Thomas M. Jackson and hU
wife, Mrs. M. J. Jackson, 'and William Me*
Donald, a young man who keeps a saloon on
Decatur street, at the corner of Hilliard street.
Jackson is the proprietor of a box factory
on Decatur street, and is the husband
of a wife both beautiful
and accomplished and the father of five pretty,
interesting children. His marital relations
have been of the pleasantest naturo and unto
him his wife had led
A PUKE AND DEVOTED LIFE
until that night when she committed her first
ain which had an ending so fatal and terrible
that her death only will remove tho stain.
Jackson had been married fourteen years
and bos been living in Atlanta sinco 1879.
He has always been a peaceful, industrious
and hardworking man and ho and his
family hdve had tho respect
and esteem of all with whom they associated.
3fo word of scandal had ever been heard
about her, whom he loved so much, aniHo the
neighbors they were model people. But that
night she iorgot the vows sho registered in
heaven when, fourteen years ago, she stood

the Finar suspicion.
Jackson has been living at No. 335 Decatur
street for a long time, liis homo is nearly op*
I>051 to McDonald's saloon, and from the front
door of tho saloon his house can plainly bo
seen. A few days ago Jackson thought he
eaw a sort of ???signal service" between McDon
ald and his wife, but quickly dismissed
the subject from his mind, so true had his
wife been. But again tho cruel thought
would return until finally it became tho rul
ing one of the man's life, and Wednesday,
unable longer to resist the temptation which
grew as his mind dwelt upon what ho thought
he had seen ho decided to lay a trap to verify
or dispel his suspicion. Early in the day he
informed his wife that ho wus going, uj> on
tho Georgia Pacific road and that ho would
he absent all night.
lie then went to a friend and borrowed an old
musket which he carried home. Afterwards
he purebated a pistol and a lot of buckshot,
powder and cap*, and late in tho evening bade
liis wife good-bye, and started for the depot,
little dreaming of the terriblo ending of tho
tragedy ho was then opening. Soon
niter Jackson left homo his wife,
as if led by the hand of fatality, looked out her
door and, seeing young McDonald, forgot for
the moment her husband^ her name and her
children and began a flirtation with him.
McDonald played his part well, and lato in
the evening received
THE FOLLOWING NOTE:
Mr. Willie McDonald???Sir: If you wish yon. can

No. 3.13 Decatur street.
About nine o'clock ho led his saloon in
charge of a young man named Har
rison and climbing the steep railroad
crept quietly along uutil ho reached tho back
fence. With one bound ho cleared this and
with o quick step walked up tho path leading
to the back door. Hero ho was met by Mrs.
Jackson, who asked him in and as tho two en
tered tho door a dark figuro stole quietly from
behind an adjoining house and advanced to
wards tho Jackson homo. It waa Jackson,
and in one hand he carried tho heavy army
cun while in the other tho bright barrel of
the pistol could plainly be seeu. He
bad seen McDonald coma and
bis coming brought a confirmation of his au-
piciens and dispelled frotn his mind all confi
dence in his wife whom he had only known as
pure and lovablfi. This was .enough, loving
bis wife as he did, to drive him frantic, ana
with

through which a light was brightly shining.
He pressed his face close to the window pane,
but the heavy oil curtain had been lowered
smd oil sight was shut out. Tlum ho placed
his car where his eye had been but only in
distinct sounds reached him. Leaving tho
window quietly ho approached tho
door and placing his hand
upon the knob, turned, but it failed to respond
to ids pressure, and then ho know that his
wife was false. Again ho sought tho window
and carefully listcued. Finally a breeze in
the room caused tho curtalu to
move. Near tho window was
the bed and whatJacksou saw was too much for
him, and raising bis pistol ho fired. Fired, as
tho shot was, through a window with the cur
tain down, it had its effect.

square in the left shoulder, and with o bound
ho sprang from the boil. TJio
report told him and Jackson's wife
that the man they were wronging was there
to avenge tho wrong, but there was no escape.
Inside tlie house, with the doors and windows
fastened, were the guilty pair, while outside
was tho man who
WIIO MEANT DEATH TO SOME ONE.
Believing that his shot had not had tho de
sired cfleet, Jackson dropped his pistol, and,
placing the muzzle of tho gun close to tho win
dow, pulled the trigger. Tho report was loud
and deafening, but tho double* handful th
buckshot did no further harm than to fire the
bed, as tho man an woman
???were both on tho floor. McDonald
knew he was in a close pinch, and pointing his
pistol towards tho window, ho fired twice.
This added to Mrs. Jackson???s scare.aud with a
bound she went towards tho front door. Jack-
ton heard the footsteps, and believing thnt
they were mode by McDonald, ran around the
bouse to the front door. - As ho reached the
corner of tho bouse

when bo.inked to huvo a window raised

ptt cut after the firing he found the wiudows

Jackson is about 33 years old. He says that
he never suspected anything wrong until
Wednesday night. He denies having seen any
???signal work" between his wife ana MeDon-
old, and.says that ho really intended to go
out t n the Georgia Pacific Wednesday evening,
but mie&td the train. He started back home,
hut was stopped by a friend, and when he
entered the yard about ten o'clock lie

the man at the door ho decided to see it out.
What he saw inside was an
astonishment to him and ho
only regrets ho did not kill
McDonald. He is sorry ho hit his wife.
Jackson was born in Newton county and mar
ried Miss M. J.lluirin Walton co. Wednesday
night Captain Aldridge, who was in charge of
the nilair, permitted him, after his arrest, to
visit his wife. Ho was greatly agitated.
Everybody who lives near the Jaeksou
family and who could bo seen Wednesday
night attest to
MRS. JACKSON'S GOOD NAME
heretofore. They assert most emphati
cally that she has always led
a moral, correct life and say that
but for the fatal result of the matter which is
conclusive evidence of her guilt they would
not believe it. Mr. and Mrs.Jacksou are both
members of the Baptist church.
Mrs. Jackson will Possibly Get Well???How
tho Note tvne Received.
Mrs. Jackson is still alive and her husband
and McDonald are both out on bond.
Early Thursday morning Drs. Boacli and
Martin called to see Mrs. Jackson. From
those who hod watched her bedside through
out the night the physicians ascertained that
she hail rested comparatively easy. They gave
tho wounds a careful examination ana were
agreeably surprised at finding that tlioy were
not near so serious ns was at first thought.
The largest wound is in the left breast, but it
is altogether a flesh wound and from
it no danger is apprehended. This
wound wns made by probably a half-dozen
buckshot, and is
IMF. UGLIEST OXK OP THE NINE WOUNDS.
The shot scattered considerably nud several
entered her left arm. The most dangerous
wound was made by a single shot. It entered
the abdomen, and its courso is not .known.
When Jackaon fired tho shot ho
wns obliquely to his wife's right
and hnd be pulled tho trigger a second earli
er, the load would have missed her as sho was
just emerging from tho door, but had ho
waited a second, sho would have advonccd so
far that the entire load would havo entered
her right side and produced iustant death.
After making their examination Thursday
morning, tho physicians stated that Mrs.
Jock con's recovery was not. only possible but
probable.
T1IK TWO MEN DISPOSED OF.
Early Thursday morning Patrolman Cul-
her eon went before Justice Tanner and swore
out a warront against Jackson, charging him
with an assault with intent to murder
At the some time Mounted
Officer McWilliams sworo out two warrants
against McDonald. Ono charges him with
assault with intent to murder, and the other
with fornication and adultery. Boon after tho
wnrronts had been obtained both men were
carried before Justice Tanner fora preliminary
hearing. They both waived examination, and
Judge Tanner assessed Jackson???s bond at $1,000
and McDonald's at $300. Tho two men then
left the court room, and iu a short while
m???DONALD 8KCUHr.II W. D. SMITH???S NAME
to his bond and was released. Ho went at once
to his saloon whero ho romaiuod a short
while and then wont to his sister's residence
on Jones street where he will remain until his
wound is well. Jackson found no difficulty
in securing bondsmen and was also released.
S is bondsmen are Mr. Buice, the wood man
i Decatur street, and Mr. John Faith. After
securing his freedom Mr. Jaekson went to his
brothers store, on Decatur street, whero he
wos soon surrounded by a host of friend#^ and
well wishers. He remained with his frauds
some time and then wcut to his box factory
whero he stayed the entire day.
THURSDAY???# DEVELOPMENTS IN TUB CASH.
The tragedy was the general talk of the
town Thursday, and everywhere it wos de
clared the greatest sensation that has ever
been known in Atlanta. Jackson appeared to
hove tho universal sympathy, and whilo
nearly every person said that he ought to havo
killed McDonald, they also said that Me-
Donold's conduct was perfectly
natural under the circumstances. Fow bn*
Jit veil that Mrs, Jackson had led the moral
life everyone who know her thought, but
many believed McDonald's declaration that ho
had never talked with her previous to that
evening. Jackson's statement that he never
impeded anything wrong and that ho re illy
intended to go out on tho Georgia Pacific road,
was doubted too. The fact that he was such a
pet feet walking arsenal wbeu be reached his
home Is almost n successful refutation of his
story.
now mc???donald cot the note.
Thursday the bearer of the fatal note was
found. A colored woman known as
Cynthia Bistrunk, who runs a
restaurant on Decatur street,
carried the note. She is a tall, angular look
ing woman, whoso face, though coal black,
gives every indication of honesty. Her res
taurant Is under McDonald???# bar, and sho
tells her story in a clear, intelligent, straight-
forward way; She says that early Wednesday
morning Jackson catuo to her place aud asked
lier to go over and sco liis wifo about some
washing. She went about ten o'clock, ami
coon after beginning her conversation Mrs.
Jackson said:
???Do you know Mr. Willie McDonald?"
???Yes, mam," was tho negro woman???s reply.
???Well," said Mrs. Jackson, as
she drew the bit of white paper from
her pccket, ???will you carry him a nolo for
me???? 1
Little dreaming of the terriblo consequence
of the act, the negro woman
aiGNIFIKD HER WILLINGNESS TO CASEY THE NOTE,
ami Mn. Jackson gave it to her, but at the
tame time enjoined her strongly not to give it
to any one but McDonald, and
not to let any one ice it. The woman then
left and about noon gave the note to
McDonald. Later In the day she went bock
to Mrs. Jackson's .house, and at once Mrs.
Jocksou inquired concerning the note. The
woman informed her that she had delivered
it, and that McDonald had said all right.
Mrs. Jackson men asked tho woman to say
nothing about the note, and requested ber to
come again the next day.
McDonald was evidently pleased with the
note, and during the evening
riLLED IT OCT IN A CROWD OF FRIENDS
and read it. He did not read the name, how
ever, but informed bis amlience that it was
written by a married woman. That night,
shortly before he went to Jackson's house, he
n.ct George Hamilton, a friend, and talked
with him about the note. He did not tell
Hsmilton who it was from, but Hamilton
suspected correctly, and advised Mc
Donald to stay away, tolling
him that ???that man" was a bad man to fool
around. McDonald only laughed and when
Jaekson fired bis first shot Hamilton heard it,
and exclaimed to the crowd he was with:
???I'll let ten dollars Bill McDonald i# in that
racket."
Bure enough, McDonald was In tho racket,
and nearly a fatal one it proved to be to him.
m???lonald has talked freely
about the affair. He soya that he docs not
blame Jccluon for what he did and thst he
would have done the same. Ife vows even to
his rr.o*t intimate friend# that be never spoke
to Mrs. Jtckson iu hii life until
that night. He says the note astonished
him and that he went believing Jackson out
of town. When he reached the back door ha
says Sirs. Jackson met him and throwing her
arms about bis neck kissed him, and led him
into the bouse. She assured him that her bus-
band waa away from home. He
declares that ha regret* the affair
tt much as anybody, and says
that lie would give uuy thing to undo it.. Mc
Donald is ji young man of good style and
pleasant manners. He is decidedly hand-
si me and just the style a woman would ad
mire. lie was once on tho Atr-LUic rood and
is greatly liked by all who knew him.
the husband???* hide of the case.
Jackson did not go to zee bis wife Thursday
at. all and probably never will go back, lie
remained away Thursday because he foared
the meeting might work an injury to her,
but hi# mind is not yet settled ns to wbothor
he will ever go back to his wife. Ho
refutes to talk much about
nflair, saying that the time for hi# say has not
yet come. It is gcuernlly believed now that
Jackson knew his wifo wa# unfaithful to him
and ibat he laid the trap into which she and
McDonald walked so blindly. Soon after his
arrest he declared most emphatically that ho
never suspected anything, but Thursday he
rather rescinded that statement. It is be
lieved bv some that tho negro woman who
carried the note showed it to him,Air at least
fold him about carrying it. Some of his
friends say that somo one who heard Mc
Donald read the noto
TOLD JACKSON ABOUT IT,
and at the same time stated thnt the negro
woman gave it to McDonald, littlo thinking
that he waa talking to the man who had sent
that some womnn to his own home. After
hearing this Jackson became suspicious and
announced to his wife thot ho wns going
away. None of his frienda believed
thot Jackson intended leaving town.
He has gone away frequently, but never before
did he take s gun with him. Thursday he
almost acknowledged to friends that when he
got that gun he knew his wife was false.
TUB HUSDAND AND WIFE MEET.
Aleut two o'clock Thursday morning ho was
taken out of prison aud conducted to bis wife's
bedside. Sho was thought to bo dying, and
the meeting was intensely affecting. On the
bed was the wounded woman, who had so
cruelly betrayed the man who loved her. On a
chair beside her head sat that man, broken
hearted, while around them were their
five children. Ho held her hand
in his, and with eyes pleading for
forgiveness she looked at him. Finally, with
on effort, sho asked her husband to sond
everybody out of tho room, and when they
were alone alio looked into hit face and soldi
???I am going to d???" But hero her breath
foiled her, and in a deadly ??woon sho quickly
lest all kuowledge of hor terrible
sin and its consequences. No one,
kuows what she intended to say. The bus-'
band remained with her several hours and
then went back to prison.
THE WOMAN BAYS NOTHING.
Thursday the physician would admit no
ono to her chamber but thoso who wero nursing
her, and if sho has mado any statement it
cannot bo ascertained, a* hor nurse
ia her own sister. Tho children
arc with her, but Jaekson will probably take
them away soon, as lie Is not likolyr to return
to the woman. Everybody living m that end
of town soy that they would have sworo to hor
virtue anil only believo the story bccauso of
the indisputable uvidcnco it carries with it.
The home which n onco happy family occu
pied is now dark ami silent. The merry prat
tle of tho children is heard no more, and the
loving wilo greets tho devoted husband with
no kisses. Tho place is os it was left. Tho
bed is untouched, and on the floor is the wo
man???s clothing. Tho ^cd is near the win
dow, and tho holo in the
htadboard made by tho first gun shot is largo
enough for a man to crawl through. Hal
Jackson fired thnt shot when ho fired the
pistol both his wifo and McDonald would have
been instantly killed.
A TRIO OF STALWARTS.
Fish, Drlstlow ami Walker Desert Blaine's
Btnndard.
Washington, September 15.???The talk hero
among tho politicians is tho declaration of
Hamilton Ffsb, General B. II. Bristow and
General Francis Walker that they will suo-
port Cleveland and Hendricks. A Saratoga
dispatch says:
??????Benjamin II. Briltow was secretary <>f th *
treasury while Mr. Fish was at the head of
Grant's cabinet, Francis Walker, chief of tho
census bureau. It will be their first roto for
any other than a republican, they say, but
they must vote for him unless they chhote not
to vote at nil. The idea of supporting Blaine
is not even considered. The venerable Mr.
Fish, wlioto Services a* secretary of state un
der Grant, and as governor of New York,
elected by whig voters, moke him ono of the
most prominent men in tho party, was some
what averse to talking publicly of his prefor-
cure for Cleveland.
???I am out of politics altogether," ho said,
???and it would hardly look right for mo to tako
any active part in tho campaign under the
circumstances. J liavo tho greatest resnoot
and admiration for tho domocrutie candidate,
and, pcrtonally, 1 should like to see him pres
ident. He has made a splendid rocord as
governor, and I believo would do equally as
well as tho chief oxccutlvo. Thcro Is only ono
thing I shall possibly fear In voting for
Mm, and that it tho southern democratic ole-
nient. Cleveland himself is all that could bs
desired, but ho might, mind, I say might, bo
controlled by the southern democratic majori
ty. Even tfiough I vote for Cleveland, it is
the man snd not tho party I Indorse. Why, I
Mill consider myself a republican, and a good
republican, too." *
And the cx-governor dropped into a reverie
ss he reviewed his half century of political
services.
???Now, about Blaino," he resumed, in a re-
troytcetivc sort of way. ???I know him per-
soniiJJy, and a more agreeable, fascinating man
1 never met. But Til* past record and???"
Mr. Fish broko off abruptly and pulsed up
bis lips, fearful of ssyiug too much/ ???1
won't say anything of liis doings in congress,
for oh that point thcro is odmo dispute, but
bis course in the department 1# patent to all,
you know it as well as I, and it coo
not be too strongly condemned.
I don???t want to talk publicly. I am
out oJ politics and really must not say any
more, still it Is the most uncertain election I
ever saw. What with Butler in tho east and
Bt. John in tho west, and the indopondents
everywhere, there is no telling where wo will
bring up. I wish I knew." And with an in
quiring look he turned to a party of friends es
though they could tell him. Benjamin 11.
Bristow was equally modest; be had been too
honest for Grant as secretary of tho treasury,
snd ever since then be bail tried to keep outol
politics.
???You know I???m not a public man any
longer," lie said, ???so don???t ask me to say any
thing. Talk to my old chief Mr. Fish, f
have only one vote, and the deposit of that
constitutes my eutiro political work in this
campaign."
???And what name will bo on the ticket?"
???I shall vote for Cleveland as an emphatic
protest against the nomination of such a man
as Mr. Blaine. It is the only way I can pro
test against the candidacy of so dishonest and
corrupt a msn. Yes, my one vote is for
Cleveland."
???It will beyonr first democratic rote, will
it not?"
???I don???t call it a democratic rote, sir; I call
it an honest one. I am not in love with the
democratic party, am not a democrat, but I
really will not say any more,??? and with that
the soldierly ex-occreUry joined his chief on
the verandah, where the record of Mr. Blaine
was handled in a calm, dignified way, but
without gloves.
Francis II. Walker, ex-superintendent of
the census, is another of the prominent public
men out of politics. Mr. Walker, a life-long
republican, change* bis vote this year.
???I shall vote for Cleveland, but I am still a
republican," said he. ???Th* republican nom -
inees have always had my support, except
when Grant ran a second time, then I did not
vote. In MsMschuseets, ray st ite, the candi
dacy of Butler has taken from the democrats
20,000 of the most disreputable voters. On the
ether hand, I believe thst fully 13,000 of the
beet end most intelligent republicans
will vote for Cleveland. The Inde
pendent movement is large and well organ
ized, but it is don Ufa 1 whether it will coun
terbalance the Butler defection. It look*
somewhat now as though the Blaine managers
were becoming afraid of the spirit they bsd
evoked in Butler. He is not whoilv under
their control, and seems to be hurting the
republics ns as much ts any other party."

Bossa, in speaking on tho prospects of tho
campaign, soya in on interview:
???I had no intention of going into tho elec
tion ct oil, but I see such trickery and schem
ing around me, and my own name tossed
about from one to another at if J was the
property of any party, thot I got a bit vexed,
and I thought to tnysclf I may ns well come
out, and without taking any active part
in the campaign, open the eyes of tho
voters a littfe so they may ect intelli
gently. You see, somo said I wos on tin

was only looking from tho fenco on all the
parties in the field, enjoying the twists ami

to show the men on tho grand stand how j.hoy
controlled tho Irish vote. I have seen so
much trickery ou tho part of tricky Irishmen
to persuade tho republicans that they could
carry tho Irish veto that I
am just now in tho humor to come out
straight for tho democratic party and help
elect the democrats' nominee. It is not tho
man, but the party I go for, and going for tho
party I know! niu traveling with tho majori

I could go for Blaine privately, but when I
