Euans Confesses to Murder and
Robbery of 7obe Williams

some distance. he naQ maze up MS
mind, he said, before reaching the
swamp that he would murder will
liams
As they were crossing the stream,
with Williams in the lead, Evans
said he hit Williams on the head
with gum stick he had picked up
for the purpose, knocking the negro
into the creek and stunning him.
He Immediately went after Williams,
he says, with his knife and slashed
at his throat and face. He then emp
tied the contents of the pocket, he
states, and took therefrom SGT in
currency. Asked why he did not
get the silver money in the other
pocket as we'll, he replied that he
would have done so had he known
Williams had it, The silver money,
about $500, was in another pocket
than the one in which the dead man
was carrying his paper money.
Evans says that when he left
Williams the latter was not dead.
He came back to Bamberg, and, as al
ready related, went to the store of
Milton Shapiro and bought trousers,
leggins and a shirt, giving the mer-
chant $40 bill in payment. This
was part of the money Of which he
had robbed Williams. After buying
the clothing, Evans said he went to
the home of a colored man here and
changed his clothes, afterward hiring
the transfer to take him to Branch
Vile, where, he said, he intended
taking the train to his home at Har-
leyville.
Evans said his crime worried him
that afternoon, but that he has not
been worried since. He appeared
not to be concerned over the matter
at all, inquiring of the officers when
he will be released on bond.
Mr.. Parler, for whom Williams had
worked, says that he was a good
workman, quiet and peaceable, and
had never been in trouble, so far as
he knows. Evans, on the contrary,
has a reputation that is not good.
On one occasion, he stated, Evans
was suspected of having been impli-
Gated in a crime at Harleyville.
Later, the negro attempted to i'm
plicate a Bamberg negro in the muir
der, but the officers attach no i'm
portance to this, as in his first con-
fession he acknowledged the crime
in every detail and described to
MAGISTRATE Dickinson the knife he
used.
The apprehension of Evans and
his confession have been the topics
Of conversation in Bamberg, among
white and colored, for the past sew
eral DAYS: Under the law in this
state, no person can plead guilty to
murder. A jury trial is necessary.
It frequently happens that where
there is doubt in the mind OF the
solicitor of convicting a prisoner or
murder, the prisoner is permitted to
plead guilty to manslaughter. 1t is
not likely that a plea of manslaugh-
ter would be allowed in a case OF
this kind, however, where the prison.
er had confessed to murder with no
other motive than robbery.

Fixing the Blame.

There had been an affecting scene
in the woodshed, at the conclusion OF
which Harry asked his father, be-
tween sobs:
did your father whip you when
you were little?''
"He did-when | was naughty,
said dad.
AN did his father whip him when
he was little?" continued the culprit.
Yes, Harry
"And was he whipped when he
was Httle?" further questioned the
lad.
Yes" said dad
There was momentary silence,
and then Harry exclaimed:
"Wen, who started it, anyway?
