DIES ON SCAFFOLD AT VALDOSTA,
GA, AT SAME TIME AS NE
GRO AccoMPLIcE.
TWO SONS UNDER DEATH SENTENCE
WILL BE HANGED ON FRIDAY UN-
LESS THE BOARD OF PAR
DoNs iNTERFERES.

Valdosta, Ga, Dec. 81. G. Raw
lings and Alf Moore, a negro, were
hanged here during the day for the
murder of Willie and Carrie Carter In
June, 1905. Both stepped upon the
scaffold without a tremor; they stood
on the trap together and fell together.
Rawlings In his last statement de-
clared that he had told the truth and
that his sons had no connection with
the crime.
The crime for which Rawlings and
Moore were hanged presented unusual
features. Rawlings and w. l.. Carter
were neighbors twelve miles from
here. Both were Baptist ministers.
Several years ago a dispute arose as
to the line between their respective
farms. Litigation and bad blood re-
suited. Carter was wounded by shot
from ambush and had Rawlings arrest
ed on the charge of attempted muir
der. A few days later, on June 13,
1905, a night attack was made on the
Carter home. Two Of the children,
Willie and Carrie Carter, were shot
just outside the house and shots were
fired without effect at Carter and his
wife and another daughter. The
wounded boy informed his parents
that Milton and Jesse Rawlings had
shot him. He died the next day. After
shooting the children the attacking
party attempted to set fire to the
house, but were fired upon and driven
off without further casualties.
A coroners jury found that the
crime had been committed by Milton
and Jesse Rawlings and Alf Moore,
negro. The latter confessed, telling
of a plot which had been planned by
the elder Rawlings for the murder of
the entire Carter family and the burn
ing of their house. J. q. Rawlings,
the elder, took no immediate part In
the crime, having gone to Valdosta to
avert suspicion. The trial, which
lasted two weeks, resulted In verdict
of death for the elder Rawlings, his
sons, Milton and Jesse, and Alf Moore.
The cases Of the two Rawlings boys,
who are under sentence to be hanged
Friday, will come before the pardon
board Thursday.

GILLETTE IN TEARS.
Bitterly Arraigned in Prosecutors Ad-
dress to Jury.

Herkimer, N. Y, Dec. 5.-If Chester
E. Gillette, the alleged slayer of Grace
Brown, ever had any fear that the
jury would send him to the electric
chair it was at noon. Gillette had sat
through the forenoon session Of court
while District Attorney Ward closed
the case for the people. The prose-
cutor insisted that every word that
had been presented to the jury from
the witness box was indicative of the
prisoners guilt. He took UP the sum-
ming up address of the lawyer for the
defense and declared in vehement
tones that it was a fabrication, pure
and simple, concocted for the sole
purpose of cheating justice.
The prosecutors address was in
tense with feeling and as he read the
letters of Grace Brown and pointed
out by the sentiments that she ex-
pressed that the writer was q girl Of
pure thoughts and In the same breath
referred to the defendant as a rat
Gillette broke into tears and was un-
able to regain his composure through
out the entire. session.

AT TALK OF WAR WITH THE
UNITED STATES.
STORY ABSURD AND IMPOSSIBLE
AMERICANS CONSIDERED TO BE
THE BEST FRIENDS OF THE
ISLAND EMPIRE.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Viscount Siuzo
Aoki, ambassador of Japan, was asked
for an expression of his views con-
cerning the sensational dispatches and
articles that are now being printed
about the probability of war between
Japan and the United States.
His excellency. the ambassador,
laughed heartily at the idea of war
and said that 1t was absolute nom
sense.
I'VE have perfect confidence in the
president and In Secretary Root; In
their friendly disposition, In their
sense Of justice and in their WISDOM"
he declared I'VE have perfect conf
dence in the goodness. the sense Of
Justice and in the wisdom of the peo-
pie of the United States. We know
confidently that they are our friends
and that they know that we are their
friends. Japan has no enemies In the
United States outside Of San Fran
cisco. 1t gives me pleasure to tell you
also that the United States has no
enemies In Japan. We regard your
people as our best friends. You have
always been our best friends and we
are confident that you will continue to
be SO. That the Japanese can make
war upon their best friends Is absurd
and impossible.
1.-The other night at a dinner party
lady said to me, You must be very
angry with u.s.
"Why SO" asked.
because OF the way the people are
acting In San Francisco she replied.
"'Not at ALL l said. That Is only
q local incident, matter which your
government will take care of and
therefore it does not give us any con-
cern. We understand 1t and our peo-
pie will not be misled by the sensa-
tional articles that are being pub
lished in your newspapers and in Eu-
ropc,'"
