I do uot thiuk ho was present at ;
the trial, for Judge l'urdy very
properly requested that all persons
not officers of the Court or
witnesses in the case retire and
nearly every persou in
tho Court room did so. I do uot
know Mr. Gordon, bul 1 do not
think that ho, being a minister,
would have remained uuder
such circumstances. It is true
that the defendant was not represented
by eauueel of hie own
chooeiBg, but he was ably dp
reaaea oy >v. Li. i'rantham.of the
Camden Bar, wno was rcquosted
by Judge Purdy to reprosent
him. Mr. Tranihara, in tho absence
of witnesses, should have
moved for a continuauce or appealed
before ten days expired.
Mr. Ivoels's aftidavit brings
out no new evidence. It was
brought out by witnesses for tho
State that Mrs. Langley did cot
tell her husband of tho outrage
until Monday afttr it was committed
on Friday before. I think
I testified myself that Langley
worked with Aaron after he
he kuew it. Tho reason of it is
apparent. He expected to got
a crowd aud lynch him. Unless
I am badly mistakeu that was
the object of his visit to Mr.
Keels. S. J. Ammous testified
that '"he knows" that Langley
worced vitii Aaron several days
after Aaron committed the
crime. That would bo no new
faot.
I was t'uero all th" time from
Monday eviiing, shortly after
Mrs. Langley told it, until
Langley killed himself and I
ever 6aw Sam Ammous until
I returned from notifying some
of the neighbors of Langley's
death, when I saw him sitting
by the dead body. So he could
only know it by hearsay. A&
for his other statement, I had as
good opportunity as S. J. Amnions
for hearing such reports.
I was all over the neighborhood
and I never heard of such a
thing until after the negro was
arrested, and I don't believe
Sam Amnions did either.
truesdel's statement.
But the moat extraordinary,
to me, of all the affidavits it that
of J. J. B. Trueadal, eomnealy
known aa MPoa" Trueadal.?
"Pea" aayt he knows of his own
knowledge that Aaron did not
commit a rape on Mrs. Langley.
I do not know how he could
possibly know this, unless he
was present at the time, and I
hardly think he was.
I think "Pos" bases his affidavit
on a statement said to
have been made by Aaron on his
way to Camden to the effect that
he had been intimate with Mrs.
Langley, but that ho paid her
$20. This was sworn to by one
of the witnesses for the State,
but was denied by Aarou when
on the etani, who |said that he
never had any intercourse with
her by force or otherwise. I was
with "Pos" before and after the
arrest and I never heard him say
--eoat Q6 Knew tnat Blie bad intercourse
with the negro," On
the contrary, he seemed anxious
to have him arrested and convicted.
If he believes Aaron is
not guilty of the crime for which
he stands charged, why does he
ay in his affidavit that he ought
to be sent to the penitentiary for
life ? Ordinarily people do not
ask that innocent persons be imprisonsd
for life. I 6ay if he is
guilty let h>m bo hung, if ho is
not guilty of the rapo for which
he Btands charged let him go
free.
Again, if Mr. Truesdel did
know of bis own knowledge that
Mrs* Langley was carrying on a
criminal intrigue with Aaron1
V
\\ iliiums, wh > did ho and his
family continue to visit :it Mrs.
Langley's, an I know of my own
knowledge the? did Y Why permit
his family to visit on terms
of friendship and equality one
whom he must have considered
worse than a common prostitute.
One i? forced to the conclusion
that there is something wrong
about this affidavit. Truesdel
know all this mouths before the
trial; he heard the evidence;
was present whou the jury
brought in its verdict; he heard
the sentence passed which, so far
I as he kuow, consigned Aaron to
his doom, yet he never raised his
vo'co once in protest. Deliver
me from such a man if I ever
get in trouble.
But if what he says were true
it brings out uo new evidence.
Now, Mr. Editor, I have discussed
at 9ome length all these
affidavits, and where is the new
evidence on which they base
their hopes for a new trial ??
There is absolutely nothing in
them on which to base the claim
of "after discovered evidence,"
and I am forced to the conclusion
that Gov. Hey ward did not examine
the evidence, as brought
out at the trial, or that ho simply
exercised the prerogative for
which he has becomo somewhat
famous.
Now, in conclusion, I wish to
sty a few words about Mrs.
Laogley. I have known her for
'25 years, have knowu her since
she was a litt'e child. I have
kLowu her longer than those
who are trying to traduce her,
and I have never known aught
against her. Iler health for some
years past has not been good.?
She has spent several months in
a hospital since she was married
and this constant drain on them
kept them poor; but I tako
pleasure in testifying that the
relations between her aud her
husband were most pleasant.?
Her family is one of the best in
Lancaster county. She has a
number of brothers who are
among our staunchest citizens.
They have not said anything
until now, relying on the court
and fully believing that her
honor ^ould be vindicated then,
M it hu been.
lint today we have the spectacle
in South Carolina, noted
for her chival^us protection of
her women, of ministers of the
(Tonnal ta.kin<? tha IahH in n?fi.
o ? - ? r% w ? w -
tioaiog the governor to show
mercy to a black brute, convicted
of that crime which of all
others excites the indignation cf
the men of South Carolina, and
trying to reopsn the whole case
and drag her once again into the
court room, there to recite once
again the pitiful story of her
wrongs to a jury of her countrymen
and make one more appeal
to them for that justice which it
seems some of her white couu
trymen would deny tier, "Uod
save the mark."
