'a tnmu Altz a 6"asPnn T4 Mr Atkoutm Telis the story er.- 1ito Horr blo Murder of hi. Wife. The Augusta Sunday Hrald put lishes a long account of a visit of member of its staff to the home c Mr. Atkinson, the mirder of whom wife has caused so great a sensatio in Edgefield County. Mr. Atkii son's account of his wifo's death I given as follows: '-List Tiesday morning," bega Mr. Atkinison, "my wife and myse loft home about 9 o'clock and droN to Augusta. W6 spent most of ti day in the city find mado overi purchases- My wife bought, a nun bor of small things tlhat would ploit the children. Ah! littlo did st think of the terrible fato that await hor on that dark road-and we le Augusta about 4 o'clock. "My wife and myself were ridii in my buggy, and following us can my large farm wagon with a load < supplies. The wagon kept a goc distanco holind us, being loavi loaded, anlld thereforo could not as fast as the lighter vehicle it wife anid mysolf occupied. "You have ist como over the rol and know it is one that goes throin swamp aifler swimnp, and is an i and down hill route, necessitatir rather slow traiel most of the way. "My wife was in a nsiost lIpi humor, Ihlinking of the plealnro tI little ones wo-kld tind in the thinj she was bringing honi for them. "Just beforo reaching a point nv; Republican Church my wife cor plained of being a bit tired at leaned her head on my shouldc We were in about, a mile and a h from home, and had just reached ti top of a hill whenl I diFcovered dark object comno out from ti bushes in front of us and cross I road. The object, which I took fi a negro man, walked toward the fo of the hill that we were just thi starting down. The man seemed a big hurry. I. should say that I was thirty yards in front of uts whI 1 first saw him. I walked the hor for about two hundred stops, at then started in a slow trot. The 1111 ahead bncked into the hushes at U side -of'1he road. As I came opposi to him-that is almost opposite, b to be exact he was still a little front-I said, 'Who is that?' and that moment a gun fired, and nt wife fell to the bottom of the bugg "I thought she had fainted, f, she was subject to fainting attaei produced by sudden surprises, su< as the close proximity of a g firing, such as happened on1 th night. "I called a second time to the ui known mian, but got no answer. 1 horse moved tIle buggy at this jun hure across thle road, so that ni wife's foot, that was over 01ne sido vehicle, caught in the spokes of t I wheel. I sawv I couldi not pulhl hi back into the seat from the positie I was then ini, so I jumLiped out atl took my wife out. I was so engross< in seeinlg to my wife that I could ni notice the man, who lired the fat shot. I did see a man run off. "I discovered by touching miy wi that she wvas bleeding, and short S after that she was a corpse, I la her dlown beside the road, am shouted for Ike Mackey. Ike w one of the men on my wvagon th was behind mie. The wangoni caugl up with me, rind the men helped n lift my dead wvife into the wage I wrapped her body in a quilt th was on the wagon." "The shock was such a torrib one thamt I believe I was daze.('l could net reahize just then the torr ble calamity that had befallen m When 1 neared the house Mr. Car ledge, a friend of mline, who was at m home at the time, camne onlt to me' me. He had heard the report of t b gunl, and said something was wrong~ "Hie and the negro men carrie my poor wvife into the house anid li her on thle bed. She was dead1(, br I sent for Dr. Mackey, who livr .about hal11f a mile away, and he cami and made an exainrationi of th wound. All the bones ini thle low& part of my wifo's neck woroe shiat tered in a confused mlass. Th wound was made with No. I shol which is quite large. "We afterwvards found shellsi the road, where the shooting oc currod, were numbfllered for bird sh( and showed evidences of having hee unloaded of thlat size of shot anid ro loaded with largor. Two shells wer' ond, ne enpty and non lnade.1 "The neighbors, as soon as they hoard of the torriblo calamity, hur ried to my home, and offered their Issi.-tanuce to mo in catching the mur derer of my wife. In an hour and a half after the shooting a posse had been formed and loft on the trail. 'Thoy scoured the woods and swamps, and somo staid near the spot whore the shooting occurred all night. "Next day two hundred and fifty armed men had assembled at my home, and woro s.>on on the hunt. "They soarchod various houses for a gun that tho cartridtos would fit. The poiso aire still busy.".. "Do you think the shot was in tonded for you or your wife?" "0, for mie, I know. My wife was so close to mo that she received the V charge. No one would have had reason to shoot her, and I can't really i say that any on had any great d grudge against me." "What timno did the shooting occur?" "About 8:31n o'clock, as near as I g can juldge." Mr. Atkitisoi thon stated that two iteg roos, who were suspected as know ing sonlwthiig about who did the (daist ardI deed had been arrestodi a few hours previous to our conversa tion, and weroe locked up1) in the jail at the town of Edgefield. They are im Simith and Sqir Green. He also stated that a negro, John p St.uart, a 111111 lately disehargad from the convict gaug, had hoon soon con ing out of a swamp nvar Hamiburg, with a singlo barrel shotgun on his shoiulder. lit is sitv'c1VtUd as beilig the man wantod. Ho worked for Mr. Atkinson a few years ago, and had a small disputo with Mr. Atkin son regarding the sale of some seed cotton. This may have been the cause of the devillish deed, but it was thought, that the man had har a bored nol hard feelings against Mr. Atkinson on that account, for all had been settled tinally, and the man had not r aedo any threats. That is the otly thing that. Mr. Atkinson can think of that would .n canso iny one to bavo the least hard fe'0.ng4 against him, as people of 1 le in 0-ounty wI I know him have the i highest respect for him, and espec ially the negroes, whom lhe haIs done ti iny favors.

Irarsmera Living in the Sprsely Settled Country lIs Which the Crime Was Com. saitted sulated That Thel. Families W.,uld Not ie Safe Unless Dire Vesigeatce Was Visited on the Murdor*-rsof aMrs. A-kinasivi. Columbia, October 26.-The "Re. publican Church" lynchinig, of which a full account was given in the Ne s and Courier of today, was remarka blo in very many respects. It Rhowed tho grim determination of the whites of that community; it im phasized the utter folly of negro or ganization for offonsive purposes; it showed the dogged purpose of mon bent upon vindication, as they con coived it, and it pointed out the ne cessity for spi%edy action in such emergency cases. The crowd at Re publican Church was not to be foiled. It went there for business, and it was going to have blood, the appea]8 and even the arms of friends to the contrary notwithstanding. VENOEANcE AS A DUTY. There wore mn, ordinarily level headed and good citizons, who con ceived it thoir duty to kill the slayers of Mrs. Atkinson. Why did they regard it as a duty ? Because, as they said, their women had but small protection in the donse colored pop ulation, and if such crimes were al lowed to go unpunished theirs may bo the next home itivaded by the as saisin. That was their conviction, and it could not bo changed. During the night the crowd on the outside waiting on the deliberations of the jury of inquest became impatieuL It was thought the jury was only trif ling to gain time, to tire the crowd so it would disperse, or to find some way whereby the prisoners could be slipped away. Then there was talk of breaking into the church and tak ing the prisoners by force to their execution. A party was made up, but did not make the proposed attack on the church, whore the prisoners were put in refuge. CHOWI) DENT ON VENOEANCH. Right or wrong there was a do termined band of men at Republican Church, which would in the end have killed the nogroes. They came to kill, and left it for the jury of in. quest to designate the guilty. The jury wanted more time to get others in the meshos--the crowd took ven geance on what was in sight. The eloquent appeal of ministers, of phy sicianis, of oflicers, of respected citi zens, were all in vain, indeed they only strengthened the determination of those bent on vengeance for the unmerciful assassination of Mrs. At kinson. I don't like to say it, but sevoral were the expressions beard from mon which indicated that the poor man had to protect himself, and was going to do so, and it looked as if the rich, who were able to pro tect themselves, seemed always against holpi[ng the poor when in trouble. How 'rHE KILLINo occUR aE D. It is remarkable how rapidly the killing was accomplished. It was done in almost an instant; certinly quicker than it can be told. The three prisonzers wer e being marched along under their guard. The grow ing crowd from the rear ru.shed upon the prisoners, and their guard. There was a brief struggle for the prisoners; they were told to run this no doubt to separate the priso noers from the guard, and in a ilash the deadly volley followed, and all was over, except the finishing of the job. The guards hardly knew how; it all happened, andl whaen asked ablouit 1t incidenit afteYrars said they (did niot kniow bow the prisoners we-ro taken. It was as eay ats fall ing off of a log. It was near 10 o'clock ini thei night whe-n the killing oc-cu rred. T1hi' g.uar-d with the prim Gaoers had gone just beyond the' benid leading up the road towards E'dgefild-not over three or four huindred yaicds from the church. The moon alone gave what light thr n for the transaction, and that was somewhat veiled b)y clouds. It was entirely a night time affair, ijd if the effort be ever mnade to [hid lio guilty partien the shades of iight will add materially to the difli dity of recognition o' any of those a the pair'y. TIhie negroes did not my a werd; l hry wvere not asked to my anyst hing, anid ahont the only nurnmir was the gurgling sound romn Sullivan as he rolled over on uis hack in his detath struggle. If Waish Mackey ('seaped, as has iten satid in this coreo, ence he must be one of those spirits his son, Jim Mackey, Faid he saw prancing around the pine tree behind which the assassin of Mrs. Atkinson sought shelier. He was one of the princi pal parties the crowd was after, and much regret was expressed at his possible escape. EFFORTS TO SAVE WERE EARNEST. The efforts of many in the crowd to havo the prisoners sent to Edge tio)d Court House and given a reg ular trial wore earnest and sincere. Thore was no mook appeal about it, as could be gathered from the inter course among the men as they lounged abs>ut waiting for dovelop. ments. On the other hand, there was no mock show of bravado. Many of the men there said that Pomeone bad to suffer for the assas sination of their neighbor and they meant every word of it. There were two old men, grey and grizzled, veterans of the war, who said but little, but who were appealed to in vain and whatever may be said of the actio., it cannot be credited to the hot bwod of youth. HOw ATKINSON LOOKS. Mr. J. 0. Atkinson, the central figure of the tragedy, was present during the entire transaction in the church building. He seems to be a plain and straightforward farmer. A hard working man, who spends his life on his farm. His general appearswie) is somewhat like that of the pictures of "Stonewall" Jackson. Yesterday he wore a rather faded suit, pinned at the breast with a safety pin. A day or two after the killing Mr. Atkinson had his arm broken in the gin, and ho is now wearing it in a sling. This is the second tino he has had one of his arms brokun In the course of the evidence it was brought out that during the general search about three bales of seed cotton were- found in the loft of a local colored preacher. He had about an acre plot of ground, and the farmers about expressed their great surprise that Deacon Sullivan could raise three hales of cotton on an acre. When asked whether 'his father did not get his fees in seed cotton. Luther said that his father raised all of the cotton in his loft on the acre he cultivated.

A verdict was returned that they came to their death at the hands of par. ties unknown to the jury. A search was made for the body of WVash Mackey, who was fired upon while running, but it was not found, and indications are that he escaped. If so it was little short of a miracle.
