The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-02-23

that Wacker had been stabbed, and adj
yiscd him (Bouldin) to 20 away, else they
would "lay II all on him."
At this point made some seemingly con-
Trajectory statements, but he olaimed that
he went from bis room to Fannie Crumps
(about 2 o'clock) and asked her for his
clothes. She said, without opening the
door. " George, you been doin' somein'-
pleeceman has been here after you."
He replied, al amt afeerd no police, coz
amt done nothing"
She told him to go away; she didn't
want to have nuthen to do with him.
[The truth is that after Sergeant Jeter
searched her room she left II, and did not
return to II any more that night, and Police
men Rex, Baker, and OVERLY stayed in that
vicinity all night. Fannie said that she was
afraid il George came there there would he
difficulty, and she did not wish to be
In It,
Then he returned TO his room, and re-
mained till about o'clock A. NJ, when he
left the city.
WORK OBTAINED.
The first day he applied to an English
man, who said that he would give MN
work. but he had no place TO put him. The
second day he got work from Mr.. Chris
tian.
As TO staying at the house Of Fannie
Crump's father, that he utterly denied.
SAID he had never stayed there in his life;
the first night he stopped with colored
man who lived on the farm OF white man.
That-as reported-he had ever told any
body that he had left Richmond because he
stabbed, or cut, or wounded any man, he
utterly denied.
SYMPATHETIC DODGE.
Bouldin i'm his flight displayed at least
one very ingenious dodge to get the SYM
pathy and aid Of the people along the road.
IL seems that in some way he learned that
negro man was about three miles ahead
OF him travelling down the road. That
party had a pair OF boots and saddle
slung over his shoulder. Bouldin told the
negroes living on the roadside that the man
moving on ahead had stolen the boots and
saddle from HIM, and he was trying TO
catch the wretch. As they had seen the
party with these articles in his possession
thew readily believed his story, and besides
listening with interest gave him advice and
food. Bouldin never did catch the man
ahead Of him, but was always after him.
A Partial Confession.
Notwithstanding all his declarations OF
innocence made on his way to this city, and
for two or three hours after his arrival,
Boudin yesterday evening, between and
6 O'Clock. made free admission that by
his act Wacker received his death-wound.
Mr.. W. G.. Crenshaw, the president OF the
Chemical Company, visited him IN the sta
tion-housc and asked:
"George, what is the matter!"
Answer: "Well, boss, they have got
me in pretty rough scrape."
Mr.. Crcnshaw inquired, "Where did
YOU 20 after you left the works 7"
Answer: II went away, boss"
"What is the reason you didn't come
Saturday to get your money!" said Mr.
Crenshaw.
Answer: 81 went away, boss, coz | was
woked up by Allen Christian, who said
sold man Wacker has been cut, and y'had
better go away, or twill all be laid on YOU
He told me police was after me-"
AN ADMISSION.
! Their he went all over the same old story.
Mr.. Crenshaw stated the fact that Mr..
Lane and wife had heard the words "Fll
cut YOU or stab you," and asked Bouldin
where did you last see Wacker; whcreupon
Boudin told him that Wacker came out OF
the ofllce-door and made at him. lie ran.
Wacker gained on him rapidly. Prisoner
said he ran down towards the track, ana
when Wacker was about TO clutch him he
stopped down and picked up a rock.
Wacker had knife in his tef hand. liie
was cut IN the left side.l
Prisoner backed from him. telling Wack-
er that " il you don't 90 way III knock
YOU in the headswith this rock" Wacker
closed upon him. and prisoner seized
Wacker's left hand and showed ii back un-
der his arm like, from which motion
Bouldin thinks Wacker cut himself, but he
didn't know. He then let 20 Wackers
hand and ran off down the road CWilliams-
burg avenue).
This statement was originally made to
Mr.. Crenshaw and reiterated IN the pres
ence OF Sergeant Howard.
What is here given is from Sergeant
| IIoward's recollection.
PERSONAL.
Bouldin is twenty-three years OF age.
He is of n very dark gingerbread color
almost black. He has quite pleasant face,
and cocoanut-shaped head. He has some
pimp!e-marks about the forehead, and his
monstache is in the formative stubble stage.
He is about six feet in height. squarely
built, and very muscular; carries himself
erect, and moves quickly. His weight, he
SAYS. is l7G pounds.
He spells and writes bis name B-o-il-l-i-n,
but Mr.. Alpheus Boiling, OF Btrkeyille,
who was in the city yesterday, stated that
he belonged when a slave to the Bouldin
family. from which he doubtless derives
his name.
Dennis Rowe. the colored brakeman,
who Robert Bouldin claims as his uncle,
saws that BOULDIN is right; but there is no
telling. His name has changed once day
since he was first charged with this crime,
and il NAV be necessary to call an ortho-
qraphical inquest to determine how it
should be properly spelt. Rowe, how
ever. denies that he is the uncle OF Robert
and George. lie says that "these low
down niogers arc all the time claiming kin
with respectable folks" and that, for one,
he will not stand II. The Dispatch
nromised TO give him the benefit OF his de-
NAL of kinshp with these Bouldins, and 1t
accordingly does so.
POLICE COURT.
The prisoner will be brought before the
Police Court for examination this morning,
but II is by no means certain that the Com
monwealth will be ready to proceed. There
are dozen points that ought to be worked
up before the examination Is commenced.
Bouldin says that he changed his pants
between the time when he left the works
and when he fled the city. The old ones
ought TO be found. They may have blood
on them. 1t may be possible also to find
the knife. No knife was found about the
spot, though il Bouldin's latest story were
true Mr.. Wacker's knife would have been
found there. Allen Christian ought to be
hunted up. The police were looking for
him yesterday.
