LATEST TBIHGRAPD EXECUTION IN UNION PARISH Jesse Walker, the Murderer of Violet Simmons, Sent to His Last Account. He Protests His Innocence to the Last. Interviewed by a Picayune Reporter.

Special to the Pioatuvx. Farmervillx, May 2. On the 12th of April Jesse Walker was convicted of the order of Violet Simmons. The evidence at the trial was circumstantial but conclusive, and to day appointed for the execution. The reporter of the Ploayune, in company with Sheriff Pleasant, Be v.

Mr. Parviri, Judge Rutland and Capt. Rabun, visited the doomed man yesterday even ins. Walker is twenty two years old, weighs 175 pounds, very black, rather sullen and stnpid. He appeared perfectly composed.

After expressing our sympathy and informing him of our mission, he made the following statement I know I must die to morrow. They are punishing me for something I dad not do. God knows I am as innocent aa the ad gels of Heaven, and I do not know ho killed Violet. About three years ago I drew my gun on Mr. John Simmons for trying to shoot my father.

He has been mad with me ever since, I think this the reason he swore bo hard against On the night Violet was killed, at the request of my brother and Noah Gaudes, I had started over to Aunt Mary Wine's to tell the girls there would be a party that night. was about dark. I had gone some 200 yards when I saw Violet lying In the road. We lived in the same yard, were cousins, and as we were often playing with each other, I thought she was trying to scare me. I went up to her and called her.

She did not answer. I then ran back to the fence and called her mother. I was arrested that night They put a chain around my neck and tried to get me to confess. Jnst before day they brought Crazy Rube into the room. They had made him confess.

Rube said we killed Violet, and showed a knife blade which he said we drove into her head.1 Mr. Simmons then told me if I would confess they would turn me loose. He said a crowd would be there in the morn ing, and the few men present could not keep them from hanging me. I would have said anything to get loose, and told them I killed Violet with a stick. I never told Simmons where he would find the piepe of rail with which Violet was killed.

He knows Rube showed it to him, and if I could Bave my life by going to the place where Mr. Simmons found' it, I would havs to die. I know you all cannot save me, and there is no use in lying about it. but God knows I am in nocent. I have been trying to prepare to die.

The ministers have been instructing me and praying for me I think I am prepared to meet my Maker." Rev. Parvin then prayed, and we with drew. The Morning, of the Execution. At an early hour this morning the crowd began to gather from this and ad joining parishes, and by noon three thou sand people, the majority of whom were colored, had assembled to the execution. The Sheriff had taken every precaution to preserve peace and order.

All the saloons were closed and forty deputies were Sworn in. The second visit Friday, 12 M. We entered the. jail, in company with the parties first named and a sister of the prisoner. The meeting between the doomed man and his sister was trying.

She told him how often she had talked to him and prayed for nun. He still pro tests his innocence, and said he was going to meet his mother in heaven. He inquired after his Jrinfolks', 'and gave instructions in reference to his burial. After giving his ring to his sister, he bade her good by, and was then conducted to the debtors' room, and there very quietly dressed. He then stated he had evidenoe he was at peace with God, and appeared perfectly cool and collected.

At ten minutes to 1 o'clock, P. the prisoner ascended the platform, which was erected about two hundred yards from the jail. Kev Mr. Britt offered up a prayer, and the sobs and groans of women and children were heard from every direction. The Sheriff then addressed the audience, appealing to them to preserve order.

The prisoner then came to the front of the platform, and said None but me and my God knows I am innocent. If the man who prosecuted me would have told the truth I think he would have known something about the killing of Violet. I do hot blame my lawyer; I blame the jury they have believed the prosecution and have murdered me. I tried to get Mr. Ellis if he had defended me I would have been acquitted but I do not blame him; I do not blame the Sheriff or jailor, or the men who built the gallows.

I have been. wicked but have been praying for a week. I expect to be in heaven in less than half an hour. I want all my friends to pray for me as I have prayed for myself. I advise all young people to quit going to parties and serve the Lord.

I have never killed any one, but if I had had my pisiol when Sim mons accused me of killing "Violet and? arrested me, I would have killed him, but I thank God I did. not for then I would have never entered into the Kingdom of Heaven." i Prince Jones (colored) then ascended the platform and prayed fervently for the doomed man. The lips of the pris oner moved as in prayer, and tears came in his eyes. I i The Sheriff then read the death warrant, during which time the prisoner regained his self posseesion, and at twenty minutes to 2 the rope was out, the drot fell and Jesse Walker was no more. 1 Frana the Associated Preaa.

Farmer vi ixr, i May 24. Jesse Walker, who was indioted by the Grand of Union parish, and found guilty at the April term of the District Court of the murder of Violet 8immons, on the: 19th day of February last, waa executed here to day. He was brought out of jail fifteen minutes be fore, 1 o'clock and ascended the platform. After prayer by the Rev. Mr.

Britt and a very appropriate little talk by our esteemed B. F. Pleasant, the prisoner was notified by the Sheriff that he would have fifteen or twenty minutes to say anything he might wish to say. Walker then proceeded to state that he was innocent (of the crime of which he was charged, and stated while he did not know who killed Violet, his remarks went strongly to implicate one John Simmons, i After talking about fifteen minutes, and giving some advice to the Spectators, he claimed that he was prepared to die and would be better off in the next world; About twenty minutes before 2 o'clock, P. the rope was cut and Walker was launched into eternity.

havingr hung about twenty minutes, and been pronounced dead 1 by Dr. T. L. Post, the body was taken down, put in a eofna and delivered to his: father. NEW YORK, Congress I of Revision at Baden Baden.
