THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4 1884. TWELVE PAGES.
CATO STILL LIVES.
The Governor Decides to Give the Old Man
Every Chance for Die Life???Fourteen
hay* Granted???llis Friend*.
When the sun burst through the clouds
^Thursday morning and crept through the
window0,of the massive brick jail at Decatur,
It fell upon the form* of an old negro who
stood in the shadow of death. Up and down,
up and down, ho paced hia narrow cage. The
cbicel of time had cut furrovfs in his rugged
face, ond^ixty*thrce. years ,bad placed their
imprint on his head. A fall beard, a broad,
open face, kindly eyes in which the tears ever
and anon gathered, told the story. He was
negro of the olden time???a race fast fading
from the face of the earth,
caaionally the old man groaned. Through hit
grated window he could see a little enclosure
adjoining the jail. It waa probably twenty-
five feet square and the close fence of new, un
painted planka was twenty-four feet high,
higher than the jail. Inside the enclosure
and plain before his eyes was a platform six
feet above the ground. To ono aide ot it two
heavy, upright posts stood, thirteeu feet high
From the cross beam dangled a new hempan
rope at the bottom of which hung a heavy
sack of sand. On a level with the platform
and immediately under the beam were two
trapdoors. To one aide lay a knee joint trig-
f er, waiting for the fatal pull when it would
url into eternity Henry Cato, the condemned
murderer of Jack Dukes.
TI1E OLD MAI
???Boss,??? said the old man, ???I lived for sixty-
two years without ever getting m jail, but here
1 am at last, and out there you see how l will
end; I never thought that Cato would go this
way," and the old man walked to the window
and looked out at the instrument of death???,
built with the greatest care and precision, a$
though the builder intended that there should
be no bungling work.
???But,??? no added, ???my whito friends havo
done all they could for roe. Tho governor re-
fuseeme,end I must go. Well* lain ready. Boss,,
my wife is fifty years old and I leave a little
grandchild. 1 didn't intend to kill that man.'
???Has your wife been to sec you?"
???Yes; she has just left here and she will be
ck this evening
won't be here tc
stand to see me hung."
???Cato," said the reporter, touched by the
gloomy lace of tho old man, ???tell mo some-
She could not
gloomy lace of tho old
toing about your life."
Bone district, Pigeon creek. My mother be
longed to Mr. Archie Baker, and before I was
a month old, she was sold to Ludwick Rollins.
H?? died and left me to his son, Green Rollins,
and I lived with him until I was freed. I was
raised at Chalybeate Springs hotel until I was
eighteen years old. I went to the war with
my young muster,
years and a half." ,
The old man then recited his experience in
the past helium days, and told how, fourtein
years ago, he purchased a little home near De
catur???three acres???on which he* has since
lived, raising strawberries, fruits and vegeta
bles for market, and occasionally turning an
honest dime or two working the garde*
doing odd jobs for tho people of Docatur.
THE FATAL FALLING OCT.
Cato's farm was small. With him land was
at a premium, and when a neighbor began to
cut trees ou wbat he believed to be his domain
he raised an objection. But that did uot stop
the supposed trespass, and a^ad grew up.
Cato and his neighbor were at outs. Thou
Cato and his neighbor's hired man got at outs,
and one day Cato and tho hired mau quarrel
ed. Cato had bad a surveyor twico to ruu his
line, ond new???8tobs" were set out. But the
neighbor and Cato still warn? 1 over tho lino.
The hired man said Cato h*d moved tho
atoLa. Cato said the hired man was a liar.
One night soon after, while goiug home, Cato
and the hired man, Juek Dukes, fell in to
gcthcr. They slopped at a negro- house c
milo or so from Decatur. A fight occurred,
and in less than no time Duk-s
had six or seven cuts in his
body. .Dukes died four days after. The wit
nesses were enemies of the old man, and when
he came to trial not a word was said in his be
half by a witness. They swore that ho was
the aggressor and that the killing was un
necessary and wanton. Cato???s counsel decided
that the prisoner had better not make a state-
mint, as he wunted the conclusion in tho ar
gument. Solicitor General Hill made ono of
the most powerful speeches of his life, ami too
result was a verdict without a recommenda
tion, and Cato was sentenced to death. The
case was carried to tho supremo court, the
judgment sustaiued, aud Cat) was iu the
hands of the governor. The governor wa pe
titioned some weeks ago, and a few days ag
reluvrd a commutatiou. Tho sheriif set about
preparing for the^ execution, aud yesterday
found everything reody lor tho hanging.
THE IVUITK 1'EOPLiC onJEcr.
Tho people of DeKalb county were greatly
surprised at tho refusal of tho governor to
commute tho sentence of Cato, although tho
chief executive hsd no alternative under th j
evidence before him. It was all onu-sided aud
showed the killing to have been a bud murder.
As soon as the people saw that Cato was really
to be bung they began proceedings to savo hts
life if possible. Thursday a large delegation
csrr.o up to sec the governor. Among th^so
who canto were Hon. John B. Steward, the or
dinary; Mr. J. R. Russell, clerk of the supe
rior court; Mr. M. R. Ragsdale, Mr. G. A.
Ramspeck, Mr. 0. Wiuninghaui, Dr. J. II.
Goss, Dr. Joe Green, Captain Hunter,
Mr. John Baxter, Mr. J. P. Crockett, and
Mr. G. L. Benton. All these geutlemen are
men of prominence and influence aud were
actuated solely by what they considered a
duty. They are from all parts of the county,
and state that they represent a universal sen
timent of the people of the county agiiust the
hanging. They state that the people of DjKalb
county ft el that tho old negro should not be
hanged, and that if ho is executed the people
of the county will feel that the law ha* been
unnecessarily harsh. Cato has had such a good
character in tho past aud has be-jufso indus
trious and such a good citizen that they feel
that some consideration is due him. They say
he bad not had a fair showing ond they wuut
a respite until they can mako that fact plain
to the governor.
TILEGBAPniXO THE GOVERNOR.
The delegations of citizens called at the exec
utive office about noon and found that the gov
ernor was at Macon. They then asked Msjor
Warren to telegraph the governor, whereupon
he wrote and tent the following dispatch:
Governor II. D. McDaniel. Macon, Oe.-A num
ber of citizens headed by the ordinary and repre
sentative* have called In a body to ask for a respite
for fifteen days for Henry Cato, under sentence to
be executed, that further facte mar be presented.
The delegation insist upon this dl??pat?h being
cent and rtqutrtani answer. J; W. Wabbxx.
The delegates then went to. the telegraph
office and telegraphed the governor atkiug tor
a respite for filteen days so that an additional
tbowW for Cato might be made. The dele
gation was thoroughly in earnest and will
leave no atone unturned to save Cato???s neck.
They do not ask for a pardon, but the requett
made Thursday waa for a respite with a view
to making a showing for a commutation to
lifetime imprisonment. It was a very re
markable sight to see a dozen prominent busi
ness men come on snch a mission and appear
ao thoroughly in earnest. Thursday the
Decatur telephone line waa kept busy with
questions relative to the governor's action.
Cato did not know of the movement in bis be
half and fully expected to die Friday.
THE GOVBaVOl COMES HOME.
Governor McDaniel received the despatches
about night, and at once determined to come
home and make a full investigation, and to
bear the applicants for tbs respite io person.
He reached the city ins* b-fore midnight, and
Friday morning the DeKalb oohnly delegation
* P (Eitoclainte that Dnkea provoked the diffi
culty, struck him first ana knocked him down
and that he waa in close quarters when the
cutting occurred.
The Governor Reprieves Cato for Fifteen
Days.
Governor McDalniel was waited on last Fri
day morning by Hon. John B. Steward, ordi
nary of DeKalb county, who came to mako a
last apuenl for Henry Cato. He asked that flf-
teen days be given, and stated that if in that
time the people of the county could not satisty,
the goveruor that Cato ought hot to haug,
they would quietly submit to his ruling. Af
ter hearing Judge Steward fully, the governor
said he thought the request a reasonable one
and issued an order reprieving Cato for fifteen
davs.
When the governor signed the respite it was
nearly 10 o'clock. An hour or so more and
Cato would have been
BTANDINO OS THE FATAL TBA>.
Judge Steward took the respite and rushed to
the depot only to find the Decatur accommo
dation steaming around the curve at Butler
street. The bearer of the respite stepped to a
telephone, called up Decatur and told of the
governor???s action. He then took a hack and,
giving the driver an extra fee, fairly made the
wheels bum over the road to Decatur, arriving
theie at twenty minutes to eleven. The horse
was covered with foam as he
stopped in front of the jail.
Sheriff Hunter was quietly' awaiting tho
reception of the respite. When the telephonic
message was received,Mr. Henry Austin weut
to the jail and called out:
???Uncle Cato I"
The old man went to the window, and asked
what was wanted.
???I???ve good news for youl???
"Wbat?"
??? ???You'vo got two weeks morel"
???Thank God I" said the old mtn, clapping
his hands. ???This is the work of my white
Christian friends. Tho Lord only knows whut
would have become ot me it it had not been
for the white folks."
THE OBHKRAL HANDSHAKING.
A number of people were admitted to Cato's
room, and tne old man shook
hands and took on at a
great rate. He was almost
wild with joy ond hardly know what to db
with
itude to tho whito people, and
(hose who had interested ther
behalf. He was exceedingly grateful to Judge
Steward, who has worked so hard in his be
half.
IIo expressed his deepest grat-
lite people, and especially to
those who had interested themselves in his
