Remains at large.
Valdosta, Ga., Dec. 6.—Last
night three negroes went to the
house of Mr. C. W. Willianiscn, at
Dasher station, five miles below
here, and commanded him to throw
up his hands. Williamson stood
dazed for a moment, before the
muzzle of a Winchester rifle, but
grabbed a revolver which was ly
ing on his mantel and opened fire
■on the intruders. They, in turn J
began firing back, and a L’ e y fn
sll lade lasted for several minutes.
Finally the negroes left the house
and met three other negroes a mile
or two away. They were ordered to
throw up their hands, but w of
them drew his pistol and shot one
of the highwaymen The
woundrd negro was brought here
on the’midnight train arret is con
fined in jail where he will die.
Another of'the gang gave himself
up this moraing, and both confess
a concocted plan of waylaying the
the railroad workmen and robbing
them. The most desjserate of the
three negroes is still at large,
thtwngb 'hr will probably be caught.
He calls himself by several
names.; “Georgia Snake.” "Wild
Bill,* and o'her names of like
character. It is said that n*arly
in rewards is offered for his
arrest in this state and in Florida.
BiaPiifY Malden, of Brooks coun

that county on Sunday night by a
desperate negro without any cause, i
and it is likely th*.t “Wild Bill’'!
is implicated in that killing.

Squealed.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec 6.—A
new and sensational phrase in the
cases of Mapp and Wooden, the
condemned murderers of Marion
Ross, was made pir lio yesterday.
Ever since the prisoners have
been confined to his keeping Sheriff
Hyde has maintained that if either
or both of them were guilty, one or
the other at least could be induced
to make a confession.
His theory had proved correct,
and Wooden, hitherto incorrectly
spelled Wooten, has made a con
fession of the awful crime, in which
he implicates his condemned com
panion, George Mapp, and also an
unknown negro, whom he names
us Will Dayton.
When, on Monday mornings
Sheriff Hyde received an order
from Governor Turney, granting a
reprieve in the case of Wooden, the
unfortunate wretch was still labor,
ing under the belief that he would
be hanged that day.
Indeed, he was notified that the
hour of his execution would be 3
o’clock. The gubernatorial order
in which the prisoner was as vital
ly interested as was anybody else
connected with the case, was not
made known to him.
Not only was he informe
t lat his life hud been spared, but
ne was made to believe that no
earthly power could save him, and
that,guilty or guiltless, he would
in a lew hours be executed.
With these circumstances . spx
rouuding his fate he was induced
to make a confession. Wooden’s
couiession is givun in detail. It
thoroughly establishes the guilt of
himself and Mapp.
