PxRxY, Ga, Oct. 29.-Tom Voolfolk was
hanged at 1870 p. m. The crime for which
voolfolk suffered death was most afro
cious. On the night of August 6, 1887, In
Bibb county. nine people were brutally
murdered BY him. The victims were Capt.
Richard E. Voolfolk ana wife. their chill
dren, Richard F. Jr., Susan, Pearl. Annie,
Rosebud, Charlie and Matte. and Mrs.
Welt, aged "a. The scene Of the crime was
the Voolfolk homestead, country farm
house. The first alarm Of the tragedy came
from Tom Voolfolk, only survivor Of the
family. News that terrible crime had
been committed rapidly spread, and soon
great crowd gathered around the place.
The nine dead bodies were found lying in
horrible confusion in the house, every one
Drained with an axe. Nothing in the house
had been disturbed. and it was evident the
crime had not been committed for
robbery. Wooifolk's account Of the crime
was unsatisfactory, and suspicion quickly
fell ON him as the murderer. He was ar.
rested. The motive for the crime was found
in Toms enmity for his stepmother and his
desire TO have undisturbed possession Of
his fathers property. Voolfolk was tried
twice before being convicted and sentenced
to death.
