MIILEDGEvILLE, Ca, Jan. %.
.--Elated at the conviction that he
has but few more years to live,
Uncle Asa Patterson, 70, has started
a long-delayed life sentence at the
Georgia State Prison here for a
murder committed during game OF
cards As years ago.
But for the fact that he took too
many drinks" on Christmas Eve,
Uncle Asa would not be contemplate
ing a prison-walled future today. The
whiskey made him careless, he says,
and caused him to climb into his fliv-
YER to visit his son in Pickens
County, scene Of the murder OF Bob
Simmons in March, 1881.
Is Arrested
Having drunk too much, the old
man drove his car recklessly and po-
lice on searching it found several
pints of whiskey. Thinking he had
been arrested for the murder of
Simmons, Uncle Asa freely told Of

sentenced and how for forty-five
years he had cheated justice in a
lonely Tennessee mountain retreat,
whittier he fled.
u Shortly after his escape to the Ten
lliessee mountain town, Uncle Asa's
first wife died, and he married again
and reared a family of ten children.
During all this time, the son by his
first marriage, now a prosperous
merchant, was entirely ignorant Of
I the old mans whereabouts. This son
is doing everything in his power 70
obtain a pardon.
But Uncle Asa himself harbors no
bitterness at his capture. nor does he
manifest the slightest trace Of re-
morse for the murder of Simmons.
In fact he tells with a great deal
of pride Of the days when men drank
hard corn liquor, gambled all night
long and fought with knives or fists
on the slightest provocation.
His Story
This is his story told in his own
words:
II had been playing cards with the
Simmons boys and had won about
