A SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY.
INTEREST IN THE VOOLFOLK FAM
lily MURDER REVIVED.
A Memorandum Book Which Belonged to
Simon Cooper, who Was Hanged in
South Carolina, Shows Him to-
fave Committed the Whole
sale Slaughter.

A special from Macon, Ca, says: HI.
S. Young, railroad man here, has
found among some plumber bequeathed
to him by the negro Simon Cooper, who
was lynched at Maysville, S. c., two
years ago, memorandum book contain
ing detailed accounts of several mystic
rious murders in Georgia and South
Carolina, one of them being the famous
Voolfolk tragedy, near Macon, when
nine members were slain, only one, Tom
Voolfolk, escaping. He was the oldest
son and was, after two court trials,
hanged for the murder because of cir
cumstantial evidence against him.
The South Carolina negro, in the mem
orandum, says he killed the Voolfolk
family and was especially anxious to kill
Tom. In the last line of the memOran-
dun is the sentence: "TOm was too
slick for me that night, but I'm even
with him at last. This is supposed to
Erefer to Toms execution.
4 A great many people have always be-
lieved Tom guiltless, and also his law
yer, John Rutherford. who during a ten
hour speech in the court house ex-
claimed: II swear before Almighty
God believe Tom Voolfolk aid not
kill those people,
In view of these facts, and also the
circumstance that Mr.. Young knows the
negro was about here during the year in
which the murder was committed, the
memorandum book will cause big SEN
sation. The negro was one of the most
notorious criminals ever run to cover in
the South. He is known to have killed
no less than ten people besides the.
Voolfolk family. His diary TALES al
most perfectly with Tom Woolf0lk's ac-
count Of the murder of that family He
made his will before be killed the South
Carolina family, for which he was
lynched, and in it said be knew be was
going to, sooner or later, be killed for
his crimes, and he wanted Mr.. Young.
by whose family he had been reared, to
have all bis possessions.
