PAYLOR WILL NOT CONFESS.
Smart Ways Negroes Over the Line
Reat the State Law.

Beat the State Law.
BOYDTON. VA. April Especial
Isaac Paylor. the wife murderer. who Is
confined I'm the jail here awaiting his ex-
ecution. which Is TO take place on the
20th Of May, refuses 10 make any con-
fession of hts guilt. although his spiritual
advisers have urged him to do so In order
that he might make proper preparation
for the salvation OF his soul.
The colossal impudence and rascality
with which some people pose, and the
difficulties 10 which the people are sub
iected TO who live along the line between
Virginia and North Carolina was very
fully illustrated a few days since when
an Afro-American went TO a warehouse
man I'm Warrenton. y. c.. and got ad-
vancements on his crop, saying he lived
at Wordsworth which Ia I'm North Caro-
lima. right on the State line. making the
impression ne lived in North Carolina,
but as a matter of fact lived i'm Virginia.
He gave a mortgage on his crop TO Sc
cure the money advanced him. He now
declines TO deliver the mOrtgaged arti-
cles. and there Is no Virginia law 20 en-
force the collection OF a North Carolina
debt.
The darkey now coolly and laughingly
saws: "Mecklenburg county sure does take
good care Of her childun.
Another case illustrating the trickery
practiced by some OF the people Of the
Old North State is quite amusing. For
the loan OF a sum Of money man gave
a mortgage on his personal property, and
among other things he conveyed Jersey
COW and two half Jerseys. When tho
creditor attempted 10 close the mortgage
the debtor objected 10 the sale Of the
COWS. contending that he had not mort
gagged three cows that instead he had
only conveyed one; that the mSntion OF
two half Jerseys was only explanatory,
and that there was but one COW conveyed
by the transaction--that two halves made
q whole one.

John T. Dwyer, son OF the dead man,
testified that he had not seen his rather
for two weeks. From what he had
been able to earn he had no doubt
that his father died from natural
causes. The son aid Thomas Shields
came to him Friday morning and said
he had found his father dead in his
cabin. He said he had been with him
the night before M he was SICK.
Shields called DR.. Norcross, who stayed
with him till 4 o'clock in the morning.
Shields came again in the morning and
found the father dead.
Thomas Newell, who saw much OF
Dwyer, said he had been drinking very
heavily lately and since the hrst OF
the month had not been sober.
James Doyle, a son-in-law, was the
only other witness. His testimony was
the same as that of the son. Nothing
was brought out to indicate what
Dwyer died from, unless il was alco-
holism, and a verdict was returned b.
the jury to the effect that death was
due to natural causes.
