Mr.. Atkinson,
myself left home about 8 o'clock
and drove to Augusta. We spent
most of the day in the city and
made several purchases. My wife
bought number of small things
that would please the children.
Ahl little did she think of the
terrible fate that awaited her on
that-dark road-and we left
augusta about 4 o'clock.
"My wife and myself were riding
in my buggy and following us
came my large farm wagon with
a load of supplies. The wagon
kept a good distance behind US,
being heavily loaded and there
fore could not 60 as fast as the
lighter vehicle my wife and myself
occupied.
"You have just come over the
road and know it is one that goes
through swamp after swamp and
is an up and down hill route,
necessitating rather slow travel
most of the way.
'.My wife was in a most happy
humor, thinking of the pleasure
the little ones would find in the
things she was bringing home for
Them"

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
The Killing of Mrs. j. o. Akin
soma Dastardly Murder.


The following account OF the
assassination of Ms Atkinson we
clip from the daily papers:
aThe assassination occurred Tues
day night on the Martintown road,
in a remote part of the county.
Mrs. Atkinson was in Augusta
Tuesday with her husband. They
transacted their business and left
for their home about dark. Their
home is in Edgefeld County,
thirteen miles from Augusta and
fourteen miles from Edgefed court
house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Atkinson were
driving quite slowly. They had
proceeded up a slight hill and were
descending on the other side when
from a group of blackjack bushes
a gun was fred. Mrs. Atkinson
gave vent to scream of apparent
pain and fright. The shot had
been fired at very close range.
Mr.. Atkinson threw his arm
about his wife and felt blood
falling on his hand. He then
noticed that Mrs. Atkinson had
apparently swooned. He threw
both arms about her and lowered
her to the seat of the vehicle. She
was dead in 9 few seconds. T'a
load was No.2 bird shot, FREQ at
so close range from apparently
shotgun, that the shot did not
have opportunity to scatter, strik-
ing the lady in clump in the neck.
reaching vital points, and produc.
ing death almost instsntaneously
AS soon as possible, Mr.. Atkinson
gave the alarm. In two hours ano
a half Edgefeld County was or
the hunt for the cowardly ano
craven assassin or assassins who
was or were guilty of this bastard
ly deed.
There is absolutely no clue 81
far as can be learned. Mr.. Atkin
son, of coarse, gave his attention
solely to his wife. If there was {
movement in the bushes after tht
shot, be would not have noticed it
The officers and citizens beat abou
all night, making the most diligen
inquiry, that some clue of thu
assassin might be secured. They
have not, so far as learned, been il
the least successful. The bands
who are still roaming over the
country, are determined TO leave
nothing undone. The assassina
tion was SO heinous, so brutal, tha
the cry of vengence is heard. Al
that the possess desire is TO ge
hold of the assassin and to be sure
that he is the right man.
The deceased was a woman O.

mien, a good wife and the mothe:
of several children She is abou

SAW A DARK OBJECT.

aJust before reaching q point
near Republican church, my wife
complained OF being a bit tired and
leaned her head on my shoulder.
We wele in about a mile and a
half from home and had just
reached the top of hill when |
discovered a dark object come
out from the bushes in front of us
and cross the road. The object,
which 1 took for a negro
man, walked toward the foot of the
hill that we were just then starting
down. The man seemed in big
hurry. 7 should say that he was
thirty yards in front of us when
I first saw him. I walked the
horse for about 200 hundred steps
and then started in a slow trot.
The man ahead backed into the
bushes at the side of the road.
As 1 came opposite to him-that
is almost opposite, but to be exact
he was still g. little in 'front.'

moment q gun fred and my wife
fell to the bottom of the buggy.

ing to my wife that I could not

shot. Idid see a man run off.
CONVEYED BODY HOME,


"I discovered by touching my
wife that she was bleeding, and
shortly after that she was a corpse.
I laid her down beside the road
and shouted for Ike Mackey. Ike
was one of the men on my wagon
that was behind me The wagon
caught up with me and the men
helped me lift my dead wife into
the wagon. I wrapped her body
in quilt that was on wagon"
"Your feelings"
Feelings! I don't know what
I felt. The shock was such a
terrible one that I believe 1 was
dazed. I could not realize just
then the terrible calamity that
had befallen me. When I neared
the house Mr.. Cartledge, a friend
of mine, who was at my home at
the time, came out to meet me.
He had heard the report of the gun
and says he felt something was
wrong.
"He and the negro men carried
my poor wife into the house and
laid her on the bed. She was dead,
but sent for DR.. McKle, who lives
about half a mile away, and he
came and made an examination of
the wound. All the bones in the
lower part of my wife's neck were
shattered in confused mass. The
wound was made with No. 1 shot,
which is quite large.
THE SHELLS IN THE ROAD.
"We afterwards found shells in
the road, where the shooting oc-
CURED, were numbered for bird
shot and showed evidences of hav-
ing been unloaded of that size of
shot and reloaded with larger. Two
shells were found, one empty and
one loaded.
"The neighbors as foon as they
heard of the terrible calamity,
hurried to my home and offered
their assistance to me in catching
the murderer of my wife. In all
hour and a half after the shooting
posse had been formed and left
on the trail. They secured the
woods and swamps and some staid
near the spot where the shooting
occurred all night.
"Next day two hundred and fifty
armed men had assembled at my
home and were soon on the hunt
They searched various houses for a
gun that he cartridges would fit.
The posse are still busy"
"Do you think tho shot was in
tended for you or your wife?"
90, for me, I know. My wife
was so close to me that she re.
ceived the charge. No one would
have had reason to shoot her, and
I can't really say that any one had
any great grudge against me-"
"What time did the shooting oc.
cur?"
"About 500 o'clock, as near as
can judge"
