A Thrilling Story--ills rirst Troubles The Rascally Revenue Officials.-How Duckworth was Killed--Simple Jue tice Demanded--Nothing More. Mr. Carl McKinlay, of the News and Courier, has succeeded in ob taining an interview with Red mond, the notorious outlawed dis tiller. The interview was obtained only after several attempts, and great secrecy as to the locality of Redmond was enjoined. Mr. Mc Kinlay, after describing the hero of this narrative as a remarkably hand sono'and gentlemanly young man of twenty-four, of great popularity among his neighbors, thus gives the tale in Redmond's own words "I WAS BORN IN GEORGIA," he began, "but we moved to this State when I was quite young. My father was old and inform, and my moth sr was bedridden. I have had to take care of them, and of several sisters -one of whomu was a cripple, and could not move without the aid of crutches-s-inco I was a child. I am now twenty-three years of age, and will be twenty-four on the 24th of next October-if I live. The reve nue officers want to capture mue," he continued, "for the sake of the re wards which have been offered for me-it is easier for them to make their money in that way than by working for it." (They may find themselves mistaken in this view.) "My father owned a still all his life, as did all the f.rmers about here, before tho revenue laws were passed, and I worked it for him. Vo were very poor, and he could do very very little. I worked on the farm all day, and at the still at night to make a living for us. I have often worked all day ploughing and then run the still all night until break fast. I would be so tired next day that I have gone to sleep in the corn-row between the plough handles, and would wake up only when my horse stopped at the end of the furrow. This kind of life was too hard for me and soon broko me down, so that I got to working one night at the still and sleeping the next. I worked in the farin every day at the same time. They (the revenue otficers) pressed, me so close after a while that I quit distilling and went to hauling whiskey and selling it in North Carolina. They found out that I was doing this, and a warrant was issued for my arrest. THE FIRST TROUBLE I had with the ievonue officers was all on my side, as they captured and destroyed for me one hundred and twventy-t.hree gallons of whiskey. I had paid one dollar per bushel for the corn that made it, besides eighteen dollars a month to the man who ran the still. The officers cut up and emp)tied three barrels of the whiskey, and kept twvo barrels for their own drinking. They kept. these two barrels hid in the woods, and would come back and get it b)y the jug full whenever their supply gave out. Old man told me, the other day, that when they came for the last of it they arrested him (!) and toolk him off, andl all the officers stop)ped on the side of the road and filled their jugs with the whiskey which, they told him, was Red, mon d's. They carried off twventy three gallons at this load. FATHER AND MOTHER KILLED. The next morning, it was Sunday, the officers rushed into my house and presented their guns at my father and captured him. He was seventy-eight years of age, and my mother, who was confined to her bed wvith palsy, was nearly as old. Father begged them not to alarm her-she was badly frightened-and he would surrender. They asked for me, but I was at the sp)ring when they came up and saw them and so escaped. Father told them I was not far off, but I kept out of the way, and they took him down to the church near by. They captured several other men in the church, and the preacher stop~ped in the midst of his sermon and sat down. My father and several others gave bal -the rest they took away with themr. My mother was. badly frightened by it all, And died a few days afterwards. )Ly father h ad to go toAbevi)s. The jot auef exposure made him ill, and he, too, died a few weeks later. After an interval spent in conver sation on indifferent subjects, I led Redmond back to the matter in hand by asking what was his next "trouble." He replied that it was THE, KILLING OF DUCKWORTII, and concerning this well known aflair he gave the following ac count "When Deputy Marshal Leo was discharged from the revenuo service he had in his possession a warrant against me, which he turned over to Frank Case. This warrant Alfred Duckworth, who had been recently appointed on the revenue force, tried to get from Case who refused to lct him have it. Duckworth then swore he 'would take me, warrant or no warralt . or would kill me in the attempt.' 'Ho had taken one highflyer,' he said, and by God, he intended to take another.' Duck worth had been almost raised with me from childhood, and we knew each other well. He was very bigot ed, and was always bragging and doing rash things. He rode one day by his own grandfather's house, where there was a picture of Gen. Washington hanging against the wall of a room, and he shot several balls into it through the open door or window from where lie sat on his horse. The holes I .y be seen in the picture now. People told me what he had threatened against me, but I only said, 'surely he has better sense than to try to take me without a warrant.' I said I would meet 'Alf,' as I always called him. and try to laugh him out of it, Ha will give me the' same chance he gives other people. A few days later I had to haul a wagon load of corn and went over to got it. The driver was sitting by me, and on the road ho saw a crowd coming. I said 'There comes the revenue officers now.' The driver asked what will they do? I said, 'Nothing, they have no warrant for me.' I knew that Case had it. They came up to us and stopped, and we talked to gether about about one hour and a half. DUcKwORTH SULKY. I asked Duckworth about old times, but saw that he lookoI salky, and that there was something wrong. At last he said, 'Major, did you know that I had a warrant for you ?" I said, 'No.' He said, 'Do you want to hear it read ?' I said, 'Yos, if you have one.' He got off his horse and drew from his pocket a bunch of warrants. I saw that he had one for a man named Southerly, but none for me, and I thought he was joking. He road the warrant and called my name in place of Southerly's. I still thought he was only joking, and asked him to let me see the warrant. He said, 'No, by God, there's no use in it.' He then asked if I was going to submit to it ? I replied, 'If you don't want me to handle the warrant, let some of these fellows see it--that is all I want. I don't want to tear it up.' He says, 'I suppose you don't in.. tend to submit to it?' I replied, 'I am willing to submit if you will make me certain it is for me. I can give you security.' He said, 'There is no use in that ; you have got to walk before me to Brevard to night.' I said, 'I don't know that I will see Brevard to-night. I have other business. You ought to give me the same chance you give otber men.' Ho then went to his horse to get his pistols. GOING FORl 1I,8 PISTOLS. Ihknew what he was going for as soon as lie started. His horse was several steps from him, and I could have killed him bqfore he got hold of them. I did not want to kill him, however, (this was said earnestly and feelingly), although I knew that he bad threatened repeatedly to kill me or take me. I said to him that I had not come prepared to fight him, but he only replied, 'That didn't make any difference l' So he went up to the side of his horse and took two pistols from the holsters and pointed one of them in my face. 1 sato the five balls inz the chambers. Several men were sit.. ting around, and Jim Paxton now came up ; he had been with t$bem and had heard what they were koing to do. He spoke to me and dtove on. He, too, kneiv they had ne warrant for me, and $llogjt 1 wouldn't be taken withiouli one, Sp he rode on, as he didn't want to see any fuss. Duckworth's pistol 'wais aimed at me, and I, -said: Looil here, Alfr'ed, I don't want, yane
