A.-Yes, sir, the day before tho election the tickets were taken away from the'Republican 8arty, from those who had charge of them, by ieee committees. The committees were rid? ing for them the night before the election, tak? ing them wherever they eould find them. I was one of the gangs myself. Ten or eleven wore witb me. I was a member of the com? mittee myself. Destroyed the tickets. All of us were armed. Q.-What were your instructions, if tho per? sons having the tickets in charge refused to give them up ? A.-Shoot thom, and take thom by force. Q.-Have you tho moans of knowing, and do you kuow, wuat was tho political sentiments of the negro population in Abbeville County, and how they would have voted it they had been allowed to vote? A.-There were at least four colored votes ' to ono white vote in the county. They would have voted for the Republican candidate-for you (Judge H?ge)-at least ninety-nine out of each hundred. Q.-Where were you on the day of election, November 8,18(J8 ? A.-In the fore part of tho day at a voting precinct, Greenwood, in Abbeville County. A courier came in from White Hall precinct, Abbeville County, sayiug they were fighting there (this was about one o'clock), and that the Republicans were about whipping. A squad of us, armed, about thirty in number, besides myself, wore sent there. "Whon wo got there, tho Republicans wore all gone, exoept one, who was Ising there dead. Heard thal others were wounded. There bad been some shooting. Don't know If the Republicans shot. No white man was shot. Only two colored men were allowed to vote before shooting com? menced. Four to five hundred odored mon usually voted at this precinct, who, if allowed to vote, would have votod the Republican ticket. a-Did tho Democrats como to the White polling precinct armed on tho day of the election ? A.-Every one, so far as I knew. It was a ?;eneral understanding throughout thereonu y, that all wore to go armed. Q.-State what occurred at Greenwood pre cinct up to the time you left to go to White Hall? A.-Well, the negroes, to the number of about lour hundred voters, assembled about one hundred and fifty yards from the polls; the white men, Democrats, were all around the door; Captain J; G. Boozer was sitting light by the door, to examine the tickets. Two Re? publican colored men came up ti vote; they came from tbe main body. He said, "Let me see your papers/' They Eulled out tbe Republican ticket with togo's name for Congress. He told thom they could not vote them sort there; they would have to go somewhere else to vote those pa? pers. Buoser was armed. The negroes turn ed back to tho main body, who saw that there was no chance to vote, so they disbanded and went home. Thore were about four hundred or them, all voters in Abbeville County, and who would have voted the Republican ticket. In a fair election the Republican ticket would have a majority of twelve to fifteen hundred in Abbeville County. [Tho official return made the Democratic majority 1920.] There was a clear understanding that the Democrats would force the Republicans from the polls if they undertook to vote-force them by arms. We were all armed, and intended, if tbey rushed in, we would roch them back, shooting into them. It was not safe for Republican speakers to canvass the county. The general understand lng was that they were to be shot; kdled. stopped. So knew of four that were shot; one got over it; three were killed. Several others were sit?t and wounded, but ho does not know tbs persons. They were killed because of the influence they had in the Republican party. The killed were James Martin, a member of the Legislature from Abbeville, B. F. Ban dolph, and another man at Whitehall on the day of election. Randolph was killed at Hodge's Depot on the 16th of October, about two o'clook in the afternoon. He (Tolbert) was present: was known and recognized by the citi? zens living att Hodge's Depot, and talked with half a donen of them-Fletch, Bodges, Lang? don Conner, Jim Cochran. r.^i^State how > ou Happened to be at Hodge's Depot the day Randolph was killed ? 4?-I be*rd he was going to make ? speech there, and I wont ap to bear it. Whoa I Rot there, they told me he was not going to speak there, that he had gone ap to Abbeville Cour t uouHo, and waa going to Anderson that night on the afternoon train. Joshua Logan and J. W. Tolbert came to tho depot with me. Both were well known at Hodge's Depot. When wo arrived there, we found a crowd of men, some eight or ten, besides our num? ber. We commenoed talking about Ran? dolph; that ho had threatened to Colonel Aiken to burn up the State; that he could do it in three words, and that we muat kill him. Langdon Connor and Fletoh. Bodges ?poke to us, after we came up-we all were armed, 1 mean at Hodge's Depot. They put up a target, and we all shot off our pistols at it. We did it to reload our pistols, so as to be sure they would fire, hoing freshly loaded. They put it on Logan, Tolbert and myself, to do the shoot? ing, saying that as we did not live there, the negroes would not know us. if any more shooting was to bo done, they would do it. That if Randolph's guard fired on us, they would fire on them. When the train came in. Langdon Conner went to the conductor, and asked him if Randolph was on board, and he came back and suid he was on tho train. The train ran up to the sido of the platform. Ran? dolph ?as pitting by tho door of the car. The rest ali went to the upper end of the platform, and gol on tho platform. I went to tho lower end. Just at this time, the Greenville traiu ran up. Randolph imme? diately ohanged oars, and walked back into the last passenger car, and took his scat. James Cochran stepped up to me at that time, and says : "Bill, you fellows ought to bare been disguised." I said : "Jim, what do you think ot it, anyhow?" He says: "Ho ought to bo killed, and now is tho timo to dp it, right now." Fletch. Hodges came up with a roll of money in his hand and says, "AS soon as you do it wo give yon this, and we will back you; it there is any more shooting wo will do it." By this time Randolph had got off bis seat and walked out on the platform of the oar. John Brooks came up with his pistol in his hand, and he says: "Now is your time; hore he stands on the platform;" and he point? ed him out to me. Logan, Tolbert and myself done the shooting. Weall throe shot him, and he was killed dead. Langdon Conner told me to go on, they would do tho balance. Ho had his* pistol in hiB hand. We got on our horses and rode off. No person att emoted , o arrest us. We weut to Aleck Ellis', about two and a half milos off. He was not at home. We wanted to see him on business. Ho was at Cokes bury. Logan and Tolbert wont to (Jokesbury to see him. and found him there in a Demo? cratic meeting. They came back to Aleck Ellis', with him. They told me that Ran? dolph's name was brought up in tho Demo? cratic meeting, as to what they should do with him. Borne said, "Cut Lim up and food him to the dogs." Others said, "they would box him up, and express him to Gover? nor Scott as a present." Ellis knew that ho was killed, and Killed by us, and that some of tho members of the Democratic Club saw it done;. saw Randolph killed. [Witness was here warned by the respondent's counsel, Joseph D. Pope, Esq., to speak only from his own knowledge, to which Tolbert replied ; "I speak from m v own knowledge."] Tho mini ber? of the Democratic Club that I remember as being present were : James Cochran. Lang ion Conner and Fiotcher Hodges. They ad? vised mo to shoot Randolph, to kill him, and they would back me in it. Q.-State if there existed in Abbeville, or in any other of tho counties in the Third Con? gressional District, an organization known as the Ku-Klux-Klan? A.-There was. I do not know of my own knowledge that it existed in other eountics; but from pass-words and signs, believe that it did; given by members tho tl knew by signs bolouRod to tho Klan in other counties. It was a secret organization of perBons belonging lo tho Democratic party, known as the Ku Klux-Klan, existing in the counties of the Third Congressional District. Iknow that it jxiHted in Edgefleld, Abbeville and Laurens. Members took an oath on joining. Nearly all :be members of the Democratic party belong sd to the Kian. Among them were : Captain F. G. Boozer, D. Cresswell, Fletoh. Hodges, Langdon. Connor, Bob Stansler. Don't know hat D. Wyatt Aiken did. The objeot of the \l?in was to regulate the RopuLliaan party; freak it up if they could, and strengthen the Democratic party. To do this, they were to dil out the leaders of tho Republican party, md drive them out of tho State. The oath aken by the members was this: To do what? ever their leaders ordered them to do. We aad a leader in every organization, who was mown as captain of the company, and we were worn to obey hie ordere. Ho told us to find mt where the Union Leagues mot; to fire into ,hem, and kill the presidents, it wo could. It vas uudorstood that Randolph was the man .hat organized the Union Leagues in South Jarolina. and that was one of the reasons why ic was killed. We had a meeting the night >3tore the election, and had orders from our laptain to come early to the precinct next norning armed, and not to allow a negro Rc millican to cast a vote. To try to persuade hem to vote the Democratio ticket, and if hey insisted upon voting, to force them baok, iii ht. them, kill them, shoot them. John G. boozer was the captain. About twenty m em? p?re that I know, but there wore moro than hat. W. K. TOLBEBT. Kxports. : SEW?^RK-Per sehr N W Brwth-262 bales Up land Cotton, 100 casks Hi ea, 154 bbl*.
