MlssIsslPPI MATTERS.


VIII rurvIs Escnped the GAllows
jackson, Feb. 8.--Gov. Stone has not
yet been officially notified Of the miscar-
riagc Of justice in the case Of Will Pur-
Wis at Columbia yesterday, which is sit
nated thirty-fve miles from the railroad.
The rope broke when the drop fell, and
Purvis not being injured the spectators
interfered and induced the sheriff to post
pone the execution. Until privately in
formed otherwise this morning, he, a.
every one else, believed the sentence had
been carried out. This Il the first time
In the history Of the state, 50 far as is
known, where criminal sentenced to
death escaped the same from interfer-
ence OF outsiders. A correspondent called
ON the governor and asked him what he
intended doing in che premises After
stating that he had received no informa-
tion from the sheriff, he said there was
nothing he could do; that Purvis would
have to DO arraigned at the next term Of
the circuit Court md dreeenteneed. N f,r,
1451 Of the code covering the case which
provides, In effect, that for failure to I'M
fiict the death penalty from any cause.
the Circuit Court shall, on application Of
the state, issue a writ Of habeas corpus
to bring the convict before the court, or,
il at large, warrant for his npprehen-
sion, and when brought into court the
same shall sentence the convict to be
executed on a day to be named.
Purvis, Feb. ON. w. McClelland,
deputy sheriff Of this county. passed
through here this evening with Will Pur-
Wis. the young Whitccap who was to have
been executed on last Wednesday, but
who escaped death in some way not well
understood by everybody. There are vari
ous opinions in regard to his escaping
death. Some think that the rope was left
united ON purpose, and others think that
it was clear case Of carelessness on the
part Of the sheriff. Others still more
superstitious, think it special act Of
Providence to save his life, in order that
more facts in the case might be developed
in the future. Puryis was being carried
to Hattiesburg for safe-keeping until the
sheriff could obtain official information
in regard to his disposal.
There has been a radical change in the
minds of the people in regard to his guilt
since the attempt at his execution on
Wednesday. 1t is believed now by nearly
every one that he is an innocent man,
and that the real murderer of Will Buck
ley is still at large.
When the deputy sheriff arrived here
with him this evening the people, in order
to get a glimpse Of the young man who
had escaped death so miraculously, crowd
ed the waitihg-room almost to suffocation.
He was brought from Columbia, dis
tancc Of about twenty-five miles, today.
and was allowed to stop at his fathers
home, which is on the road. His parents
received him almost as one who had arisen
from the dead. The prisoner was in fine
spirits and looked fat and fine, and was
well dressed, having ON the same suit in
which he was dressed when he mounted
the scaffOld, expecting TO die.

Killed by omcer.

Potts Camp, the little village about
thirteen miles from Holly Springs, was
the scene Of tragedy last week, in
which Officer Overton played the leading
part. His victim was W. w. Cox, whom
he went to arrest this morning for remoy-
ing property that had been attached.
When he went to the house of Cox he
told him that he had violated the law
and was wanted in court. Cox refused
to 50, but Overton argued that it was
the best thing he could do. Finally Cox
agreed to go at o'clock, but failed to
appear, and Overton went to his house
again to arrest him. When he entered
the house he found Mayor Melton and
Mrs. Cox engaged in conversation He
asked for Cox and was told that he was
in the back yard. He turned and walked
to the back door, where Cox was just ell
tering. Oyerton asked him why he did
not come to court as he had promised.
Cox replied that he was not going The
officer informed him that he had come
for him and guessed he would take him,
whcrcupon Cox struck him in the mouth
with hiS fist. They clinched, and at this
moment Mrs. Cox appeared with stick
and dealt Overton blow on the head
and another in the face. Homer, the 16-
year-old son of Cox, then rushed out
with a gun. Overton drew his pistol and
began firing and called to the mayor not
to let the boy shoot him and he would
manage the two. Overton shot three
times, each shot taking effect in the body
of Mr.. Cox. The first entered the back
near the spinal column, partly scraping
the lower limbs; the second shot entered
the side, penetrating the lungs Both
shots are considered fatal. The third shot
produced a flesh wound in the face.
Cox is in a dying condition. Ovcrton was
tried and gave bond.
