to show that the biggest villain in the wer

CoiimIA, S. C., April 26.-Wade po
r
Hlaines has consessed his crime. Such fee
is the allegation inad i by one of the dI ,
convicts in the Penitentiary. This dic
statement is corroborated by the test i- lI
mony of a man whose evidence is ad- i IV
missible in court. A legister reporter. to
heard yesterday that Rains had made
ea conf:s.sion to two convicts in J1uly. a
18i9l, and that the reason tdis ha'l never
been made public was that it wasfr
deemed un wise to do so, as the convicts' un1
Stestimiony was inadmissible in th-e ter
courts, arid would simply prejudice the era
jnry- .hes
The reportfer went to the F:enitentiar, do,~
where he saw the convict who clames. int<
to have beenl Ilaines's confidant. IIis b
name is D)oc Jones. ,Jones is a dark to
ero)wn negro from Anderson and is
serving his third term in the Pen iten - h
tiary'. When asked about the matter,to
.Jones told a story, part of which isto
unfit for print. For most filthy reasons, cep
Ilaines took .Jones into his confidleuce. wa
In .July, i891I, they wvere working in the is r1
garden together and stooped down wit
among some high vines. cha
Ilainies asked .Jones if l:e could write. the
Th'le latter replied that lie could, and1 (do)
IIaines asked him to write a letter to an(
his mother, telling her to get a girl, mo
Julia Alexander, to testify to some sta
things, which lie specified, which would th
aid his cause. ,Jones ref used to write we
the letter unless IIaines would tell h imwa
the truth 'ibout the whole matter fo
Ilaines finally agreed to do this and to I
started out by stating he hail had crimi- lik(
nal intercourse with Miss IIornsby. It'
Jlones asked him why he killed her if an<
that was the case. Ilaines replied that. wit
on the day the murder was committed 'l
she refused to have anything to do wit
with him and commenced screaming the
when he touched her. .1Ie then flumg Ba
her down and( stuck his knife into hier. thu
What (lid you do with your clothes ?" whi
asked Jones.
"I hid them in a reed-pile," replied
I Iaines.
Just as ,Jones was going to ask for "I
more details, the guard spied them
loafing and ordered them to work; soso
the conversation was broken up. La mtu
Fayette F. Cou rtenay, a white convict ma
fromi Lancaster, told the same tale on am
IIaines about the same time, iIe
Finally it was agreed that the t wo muen ma
should attempt to get hIaines to repeat Wl
his story to them when others could agr
hear it. Thuey went into a room, in one thec
side of which auger holes had been l1o
bore'd to allow the witnesses to hear m'
the story. IIaines started but caught me
a glimpse of an otlicer's uniform and(i
clossed up like an oyster. Courtenay
was pardon ed, and left the Penitentiary' O
probably to go back to Lancaster. "a
If is pardon removed his disability and Ch
his testimony can now be received in cy<
