Another Railroad AV reek.
The condition of tho Laurens and

to this soot lon of 1 ho state. Not only is
to a rO(lootlon upon the grand and grow

places her in a had light lo strangers
who travel over it af tho rates of 0 milos
an hour, but it la a rodeo lion on th ?civ
ilization of tho ni no tel nth century to al
low human lives to bo risked at any
paco, ou such a death trap. Happily thia
latest wreck willoh consisted in having
au engine ami three box cara dumped

but it ts almost u miracle. Indeed it

*'A Ohlol'a amana yo'a taking notes,
And faith, bo li prent'eui."
Learn lng that Low I s Stowart, tho ne
gro who la under tho aontouco of death
for tho murder ol bis w ife, and who will
on tho lat of April bo executed, bad
made a confession toa number of per
sons, ami hearing' many conflicting re
ports aa to the alleged confession, a re
porter for Tun AnvRUTiann call on him
and was given a full stateuiout of tho
oana for publication.
Wo fouml tho priaonor In ibo noll ho
i tas occupied for tho past Mmonths. The
murder was committed on May 7th 1S3.'{
ho was arrested September 5th 1885 and
when tho ease came for trial, the jury
failed to agree. At tho Juno Tomi of
?'our'., however, ho was convicted, but
his attorneys cari ?od tho CO80 to tho Su
premo Couit ami fnilod to got a new
trial, boneo tho delny In thc oxecutlon of
tho Hcnlouco.
Stowart is a atout robust utan, about
52 years of ago and waa found pacing tho
floor In bia coll lu feverish oxoltomont,
his volco however, was calm Wh< ll lie
bogan bv saying, that bo know thorn was
no longor hope io,- him, so ho doairodto
toll tho wholo story. I was driven to
commit tho awful crime, hy tho know
ledge that my wife was unfaithful and
had doaorted me for other mon. Klov
on years ago I was married lu Now bery
County; tho first three years we wore
happy but after that tillie my wife bogan
to show au attachmoni f.jr u friend of
mino. I suspected ber and discovered
that he was not the oui v man who had
alienated her affoctlona. For several
veins she would leave mo In tho busy
season when f needed her most and
would not live willi mo until the orup
was gathered. Twice I was compelled
to Kell out tho crop 1 had planted, be
cause I could not attorwl to the children
and work without her. Uer lather is in
some dogroo roaponaiblo for brr miscon
duct. Ile encouraged ber to leave nie.
In tim Spring, HS Mho ceased to ootno
about nie. She had benn getting money
from mo for the children, but now shu
shunned mo. I wont to sec her hutslie
would not come to seo mo. Sho stayed
with Henry Langford.
(inn day thc devil got into mo anil I
resolved to kill either her or Henry
Langford. I sent my daughter to Nine
ty Six to get prov latona for thochildren.
I told ber to got some shot and powder
loo. I look my gun and protended to ho
golllg hunting. I killed a few birds and
squirrel fl and thou went to whero my wifo
was. This'waa about day-break. I saw
floury como OUt of his house and thou
my wi.'e. They caine very near where
I was hid in the bushes. I went back
further and oil'llbod a hickory treo so
that tho leaves would hide mo. I watch?
od thom, hut my conni!* nco would not
lot mo kill thom. At nigh' I wont to tho
boneo, I walked around it time . nd again
I began to HCO ibo enormity ol tl. ?erhnn
I was about to commit and my ooursgo
failed. At hm; ht I found a crack lu Ino
house und went up (dose (o them . Henry
and my wife woro sitting togothor, but
Henry's wife was between in? and thom.
I saw I lonry'sjwlfa get up to look niter
the children and then Henry began to
caress my wlfo. Shu looked aronu i to
soo if anyone saw him and when I saw
this I could stand it no longer. Leveling
my gnu straight at her heart through the
crack, I fired tho fatal ?hot omi Hod.
When I had gonn 20 stops I foll ever
some vim s and then I heard my wife
fall. 1 knew I had killed lou ami ne I
left for Newberry Counlv. 1 then work
ed my way to (?reenvibe, learning that
f waa already suapootod. 1 lived In
(JroenvlliO nearly two years before I waa
found. For the llrst few months after
tho killing. I wan a moat wrofeh mortal.
Tho remorse was so grout (hut I felt aa
though I bad rather nave hilled my.ielf.
In Hmo however, I hogan to think of
other things and finally persuaded my
si ll' that I had dono right, in killing nor.
Just boro Raid tho condeiiu d inna, I
desire to ?tate thatnomo of tho Wftne&SOB,
who (c.dilled agalnjit mo, aworo tho
most unmitigated falshooda, Homo told
tho truth.
I know that on Friday wook I will
meet my Cod, and lt appear? a serious
matter, hut I hollovo Ile baa forgiven
mo. Tho orine 1 committed appoara
awful to nie now, but great Codi;how
terrible lt appoara to fool tho ropo stroteh?
