COLUMBIA. S. c., May 2O.-Thirty.ive years
ago John Starnes lived near Blacksburg. York
county. and only a few miles from the battle
fields OF Cowpcns and Kings Mountain, where
the Americans whipped the British. The proN-
unity OF the battlcfields did not inspire II war.

war the CONSUMPTION officers cast coyetous eyes
on the mountaineer's stalwart frame. and
starncs took TO the woods. They searched for
him, but Starnes was u better runner than u
tighter, and he kept out OF the way, out or the
war and In the woods. He had an old mnskct
and a supply of ammunition, and faro In tho
woods was better then than in the town. Starnos
became fond OF the life, and when the war was
over and CONSUMPTION officers had lost their
dreaded power Starnes still remained IN the
wilds OF York.
And there he is now living. His home Is not II

constructed. miserable hut, much the shape of
an Eskimo snow house. without q. window, and
with a hole about two feet high, which serves ns
a door. There is no fireplace In the house. When

JoHNNr,s EoU1VoCAL SPEECH.
A Public Utternuce That Left Room for Doubt
as TO where He was At.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune.

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
A mall orator made his debut in front Of q
large audience at a west side clubhouse the
other night, and it is safeto predict that he will
not follow further in the footsteps Of Demos
themes after his recent experience. His deluded
but loving family, who had egged him on to this
sacrifice were mostly with him in the dressing
room. His age being 2, they wanted him to be
sure that his bangs did not fall over his eyes and
obscure his view of his mother. father, aunt.
uncles. and cousins in reserved seats directly in
Vow, Johnny" said the mother. "be sure
You bet 1 will" said Johnny with a swagger.
And let your hands hang easily by your side,
like this" and his father struck an attitude.
"Of course" assented Johnny.
Are you sure you know your piecef' asked
his sister. anxious to have him succeed.
Yep" said Johnny, and he recited the first
wish I had a little dog.
To pat him on the head
That's right. he'll do splendidly," remarked
and we must get into our seats. Don't you be
Se aWhot h scared !" asked Johnny. who began
to feel a sinking Of the knees, while his heart
then somebody was pushing him forward, and
he saw a lot OF faces, not one Of which he had

t%ert sRisnM np' n""MaS se'y your m bow %S@% and say your
piece.
Johnny made his bow and the audience APP
plauded, but he had a difficulty in finding his
tongue, which seemed lost in the roof Of his
mouth. His hands hung down as his father had
suggested. making him look like a little wooden
man, and when he forgot and stuffed them into
his pockets the audience again applauded. The
manager took that opportunity for a stage
whisper:
Speak up. now" and he began with the first
line. Then Johnny said in q strange. hoarse
voice:
wish ! had q little pat
To dog him on the head.
Roars of laughter and frantic demonstrations
on the part of Johnny's family.
He began again:
wish I had n little pat
To head him on the dog.
His father rose In his scat, but this only added
to Johnny's confusion.
Again the brave boy essayed:
Iwish I had q little dog,
To head him on the pat.
Then a weary family took Johnny by the hand
and led him home.

where he detained her until the last train
that could take her to Greenchstle had

I and there picked out Walling from a
score of young men as the nan who sat
by him and compelled him to MAKE that
drive beyond Newport when he mad tried
TO get out of the carriage, because when

With this evidence Jackson was tried AT
Newport and found guilty and sentenced
to be hanged. His trial continued from
April 81 TO May IA. He was ably de-
Tended by Col. l.. j. Crawford. while the
prosecution was assisted by X. w. Mel
son of Newport and Silas Hayes of Green
castle. On May % Waliings trial began
and on June 10 he was found guilty of
murder and sentenced to die. Since that
time Walling and Jackson have remained
in the CovingtOn Jail, which is more Sc
cure than the Newport Jail.
Every means in the power of the
friends of these two men were cNh; listed
to save them from their fate without .uc-

Scott Jackson was % years CID, 5 feet
6 inches high, of blonde complexion and
wiry figure. His eyes were cold steel
gray. They glittered, but lacked depth.
His head was said to resemble that of
Holmes, the murderer. He crossed the
ocean fourteen times when lad with his
father, sea captain. While living with

the penitcntiary for robbing railway
company, and thus saved himself from the
same fate.
Wallng was feet inches high, had
dark hair and hazel eyes, with heavy
eyebrows that almost met. His age was

and morose. He was evidently deficient
in sensbility and force of character which
made him all the more plant as Iackson's
tool and assistant In his own confess
sion and evidence, he states that Jackson
told him that he would bring Pearl Bry-
an here TO have an abortion performed
on her by Walling, and then aftcrward
said he would kill her by quick poison,
and finally changed his mind md said he
would poison her, cut her into pieces and
put the pieces into catch basin of the
sewers. From the LIST of January, 1896,
to the day of the tragedy all the evidence
showed that he was Scott Jackson's will
