Mr Atkoutm Telis the story er.- 1ito Horr

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

in Edgefield County. Mr. Atkii
son's account of his wifo's death I

"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.

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

o'clock ini thei night whe-n the killing

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

that was somewhat veiled b)y clouds.
It was entirely a night time affair,

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.

Edgefield, S. C., October 26.- Act
ing Coroner Glover held an inquest
today over the bodies of James Mack

who were lynched last night. 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.
