ANOTHER STATEMENT FROM HILLARY
PAGE-Two. MORE NEGROES IMPLICATED
Hillary Page remains in the county Jail,
quietly awaiting the execution of the death
sentence. He sticks to it that he was paid
by Robinson, with others, to burn Mr.. Ruff
fms property. He states that "Wilson
Cary, and Phil. Epps, and myself, all of
whom lived at Ruffin's, did the burnings.
Charles Robinson paid us to do it five dol
lars on two occasions to each Of US. He had
had difficulty with Colonel Rutfin about
COW, and was driven from his farm. This
Colonel Rufin denies.] Wilson Cary burnt
the house of young Frank Ruffin by himself,
and afterwards told us OF it, and that Robin.
son paid him for it. Afterwards We fired
the other houses together. All of what MIR.
Wren stated as to my confession to him Is
entirely true"
Detective Knox yesterday went to Amelia
county and arrested Phil. Epps, and brought
him to this city and lodged him in the Second
station.hou Epps has served one term in
the penitentiary for attempting to kill an
oyerseer with stone. He was at that time
only thirteen years old. Epps is wanted
here TO answer a charge of house-burning.
he left Manchester in January.
