DEATH AMID PROTESTATIONS OP INNOCENCE. | A Negro Executed at Campbell, Va. Rsoxvirux, Tenn., August 13, 1875. This day has been made remarkable in Tennessee by the inftiction of the extreme penalty of the law upon ‘three murderers, whose crimes were respectively com- mitted under circumstances of peculiar atrocity. Their names are John Webb, executed in this place for the double crime of outrage and murder upon the person of Richard Reynolds and his wife; W. N. Berry, executed 4n Rogersville for the murder of hts wife; and Ananias | Honeycutt, hanged in Tazewell for the murder of his | friend and companion, Thomas Ansmus, STORY OF THY CRIMES, In the month of March, 1874, the people of Knox | county were thrilled with horror at the details of a tragedy enacted in a quiet neighborhood on Beaver Creek, which involved the crime of murder and outrage, | the victims being Richard Reyaolds and his wife. The excitement bad not subsided, when suspicion, with un erring finger, pointed to John Webb and a mountain desperado named Dave Duncan as the perpetrators, and ‘the officers of the law were at once put on their trail ‘and every effort made to secure their arrest, Webb and Duncan came to Reynolds’ honse.on the night of March 5, 1874, and ascertaining Mr. Reynolds’ name demanded his money, with drawn pistols, which not being forthcoming, they tied the hands of Reynolds and his wife behind them and proceeded to search the house, finding some Confederate and Tennessee State Bank money, jewelry, &c. Webb then took Mrs. Reynolds, who is an elderly lady, being fifty-five years of age at the time of the affair, out into the yard, when he offered to leave without doing them any harm if she ‘would give him $400. This she was unable to do, when the scoundrel forced the helpless woman to the ground— hher hands bemg tied behind her back—and outraged her, when he compelled her to return with him to the boupe, which he threatened to set on fire after whipping | ‘Mr. Reynolds, whom he accused of having murdered Jesse Ayers. Webb’s companion, Duncan, had been standing in the main room all the time, and finding nothing was to be gained, the former ordered Mrs. Reynolds to stand by the side of her husband and started to the door, when ‘uncan BEGAN PIRING on Reynolds and fired four barrels before leaving, each load taking effect in the abdomen or legs. The unfor- tunate man staggered to and fell on the bed, when the | alarm was given and the murderers hurriedly de- camped. Reynolds died an hour after he was shot. A few days after the murder the body of Duncan was found on the mountain side perforated with a rifle balb the supposition being that he was killed by Webb to prevent his disclosing anything in regard to the affair. Webb lay concealed until the 17th of March, when he ‘was found in the cellar of a house in Careyville and Drought to Knoxville by Messrs. Lewis and Wallace, where he was identified by Mrs, Reynolds, as had been ‘the body of Duncan, previously. CAUSE OF THE MURDER. In view of the fact that Webb and Duncan were Strangers in the neighborhood, suspicion was aroused and inquiry made as to the probable cause of the crime. Public opinion settled on a man named Joseph Ayers as being the instigator of the outrage and he was soon after arrested. Circumstances went to show that this sup position was correct. In the winter of 1963 Jesse Ayers, father of Joseph Ayers, was found murdered, and while it was then gen- ‘erally supposed he was killed by some of Longstreet’s @couts, on the retreat of the Confederate forces from Knoxville, young Ayers always held that Reynolds had done the deed, he and Jease Ayers having long been en- gaged in a lawsuit involving the title of the farm an well this ‘threat was carried out the above willshow. But though Of a revengeful nature Ayers was a despicable coward ‘and lacked the nerve to carry out his murderous de- person. He therefore set about finding a pliant Fuftlan who for sake of gain would rid him of his enemy. Webb has up to the present time stoutly maintained hie innocence, certain extent. «He made a statement to Sheriff Swan which he inculpated several parties first overtures made to him from through Richard Dowell, a young Anderson county, noted chiefly for Dowell committed suicide on the in this city, shooting himself with a 1 public will be ieft to form their own yject, letters were obtained last week by the to whose kindness I am indebted for a copy. ‘The spelling and punctuation are strictly followed.

This letter was delivered to Webb and the pcan penne kept. The murderous plan was then and ere arranged, and the parties separated. But Ayers ‘was uneasy, and, in order to prevent the possibility of failure, wrote Webb as follows, appointing a place to meet, ‘the rendezvous being in the woods on a ridge, pear McBath’s mill, about a mile and @ half from where Reynolds lived:— Mancn the 3— 1874 Mr. John Webb you come with dave dnucan and he will show you the way to where we will eng then i will give You the particulars of all the proceedin will have plenty of whiskey and { will have one Hundred dolars in money for you and | will give you a bill of sale of that blue horse that i Showed you the other night. be sure and bring two good pistols with you and if yon hains got a rig it dows master for have got plenty of black muslin ure and come and we ‘will have good thmes and i will sati you for all more too please tear this You will find me one of the trnest KKK JOSEPH AYERS. ‘When the final preliminaries were arranged the mur- Mr. Joux Ware Dean Sin—i bave been informed by ‘air one of the old war bo: Jou this in order to hi Will go with ine and help eis acknowledging his complicity to | NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST correspondence was in the same strain, Webb assistance apd Ayers im| the Sheriff, who, in his opinion, was a LAST HOURS OF THR CONDEMNED, The prisoner looked badly, which ts not to be won- dered at considering his long confinement, and some think his mind had begun to give way under the terri- ble strain. Up to last Sunday evening he took no in- terest in religious matters, but then, on being asked by a member of the Young Men’s Christian Association what minister he would prefer should visit him, ex- pressed a desire to see Father Marron, the Catholic pmest, who has accordingly visited him, Last Monday Webb’s wife arrived from Missouri, and immediately proceeded to the jail where her husband ‘was confined The meeting wasa sad one. Mra, Webb seems to be a hard-working woman, about twenty-three Years oki; hasa fair, honest face, ‘and tells a straghs ci , She said she had heard various stories, and unable to bear the suspense any longer she had deter- ined to come and learn the truth regarding her hus- band and his emme. She said she was put off the train three times between St. Louis and Knoxville, but, by begging and working, so husbanded her means as to reach her destination. ‘Webb's wife remained with him until eleven o'clock last night, during the long vigils of which his cell was shared by ogicers detailed for the purpose, He freely, bat ned from saying anything to criminate himself He ate heartily of breakfast at eight o'clock, when he was visited by his confessor, Father Walsh, who remained for two hours with him. The prisoner was furnished as a stimulant with a small drink of rye whiskey twenty years old. At about half-past eleven o'clock ‘THE DRATU WARRANT was read to him by Sheriff Swann, when he asked the privilege of reading it himself, and when he had Qnished raised his hand and declared :— “Before God, my execution is unjust.” He then kissed the crucifix he held in his hand. He added thas be forgave everybody; but that it was unjust to bang an innocent man, but he placed his trust in God ani hoped for forgiveness. He perspired freely, but was un- moved and bape 4 picked up a rug on which he had been kneeing and placed iton his bed Just befuro leaving the jail he bade Ayers good by, saying:— “Old fellow, you will have to pray mighty hard for for- giveness for all the murders you committed, if you ever get Wo heaven.” STARTING TO THE GALLOWS. The prisoner was then escorted to the wagon after having his hands manacled, in which were seated Mrs, Webb, John White, Sheriff Swann and two deputies. | The procession then moved, a force of police being In | front and the SheritPs posse, fifty strong, on each side | and in rear of the wagon. | THE ROUTE. | was up Princes street te Union, down Union to Asylam. | crossing the bridge at the rolling mill and he railroad wack to a point ina flat just west of the keg factory. A circle had been eclosed with a rope, in the centre of which stood THR GALLows, which was composed of two uprights with a cross beam braced at the bottom. On each side, inside the circle on the west, the Zouaves were drawn up, while on the hillside on the south, among the dense throng, stood the Light Guards. The wagon was driven tmmediately | under the gibbet, when, at the prisoner’s request, the | Sheriff called the names of his counsel, as well as the | counsel for the State, to bid them adieu. Webb then | briefly addressed those within hearing, He said:— STATEMENT OF THE CONDEMNED, “The statement I made to Mr. Henderson is true and I | die an innocent man, They are killing me for nothing. I put my trust in God and think I have been forgiven.” He then jad Sheriff Swann to call Rebecca | White, Samuel Hoskins, C. hes Kate Bailey, Mary Leinart, Benjamin Diggs, Samuel Tillery, Barbara Reynolds and Joseph Reynolds. Some of the parties called came up to the wagon, when Webb spoke to one | saying:— ‘Mr, Hoskins, I want to say to you that it is a serious | thing what you have done. If you want w killa man | shoot him, butdon’t swear his life away.” He thén denounced the entire party as having sworn to wilful, deliberate and malicious lies, begin for the purpose of taking his life. Turning to James White he exclaimed :— ‘The night the murder was committed I stayed in Clinton. stayed with you. You know I did.”’ He then handed a letter to Huckaby, and, turning to the crowd, continued his remarks in A DESULTORY STRAIN. “The community wanted to see poor old John Webb | hi I prayed for you all last night Look at me and mark what I say, I die innocent.”” | . 8am Tillery then came up, with whom Webb shook hands, saying at the same time:— “You swore a lie against but I forgive you Every word I have said is true.” In sige of which he kissed the crucifix suspended from his neck. Webb was then asked by Mayor Staub to tell who were the guilty parties if he himself was innocent; but concluding, ‘This is all I will say.” A gentleman came up juet then, when he shook hands and spoke pleas- | antly of opposing couneel, but denounced Dowell and | Ray, whom he had employed. He was also very fal for the counsel assigned him by the Supreme Court, Messrs. Thornburgh, Reeve and Nelson. SOME EXCITEMENT was caused at this juncture by a fellow trying to cross the line, who was promptly arrested and brought inside. Father Marron having arrived from Rodgersville on the noon train, came out and took his place in the wagon with the condemned man. After.quiet was restored C. Sartin was called, whom Webb addressed in a patois evidently undersiood between them, but which no one | else did, hoping he would come out successful if it was God's will, ms WIFE | tearfully urged him, saying: — “John tell us all you can. Tell us all you know.” A guessenger here came in from Webb's father, inform- ing hi | take place to-day, and that his ‘body was expected to | reach Clinton thié evening. Webb received the news | with almost apathetic calmness and his steel-blue e | hhad a far-off look in them as though he would pierce the | veil that divides time from eternity. When the Sheriff | was about to bind his legs he offered his hand, saying, | You have hold of the best soldier you ever had,” and, while the agonizing screams of his wife were ringing in his ears, he mounted the rear seat of the wagon and, | while Mr, Swan was tying the rope, turned to tho | crowd, telling the people to look at him, that he wag the | BEST PI OF FURNITURE | they had seen in manyaday. Officer Cain assisted Mrs. | Webb to descend from the wagon and led her away. The | moans and agonizing sereams of the wretched woman | were pitiful in the extreme, and brought tears to the eyes of many in the vast multitude. drawn over his face, the fatal noose adjusted, When the word was given and as the wagon moved off, Webb | Jeaned forward and eased himself off, and at twenty- | seven minutes past one o'clock his body was swinging | inthe air, When taken down the body presented a very natural appearance. It waa placed in a neat coffin | with glass over the face and given to the custody of his friends, | ‘THE CASE OF BERRY. | If any one ever deserved death it was W. N. Berry, | of Hawkins county, who murdered his wife, near Rog: ersville, on the 11th of October, 1872. Notwithstanding his long imprisonment he has made no confession as to the motive that induced him to commit the terrible crime, but since his sentence was confirmed by the Su- preme Court revelations have been made by one of his | daughters showing her father to have been possessed of aspirit of stolid brutality rarely seen among the most degraded and callous of humanity. He possessed but littie if any education, and lived on very bad terms | with his wife | THE MURDER. | _ On the morning of the murder they commenced quar- | relling before getting out of bed, from which she first | arose, when, stung by some remark of her husband, Mrs. Berry announced that she would live with bim no longer, bat intended going back to her former home. | This following what had already passed exasperated | Berry to such an extent that be leaped ont of bed, | swearing that he had “stood the damned as jong | as he could,” and intimated his intention of putting a stop to such episodes in the future.

The third night he tried another place, but the fates seemed combined to prevent bis success. He finally became desperate, and, Ubrowing out the dirt between two large boulders, he made an excavation sufficiently large to receive ‘tho | body in a bent attitude, and placed it in ite rude sepul- | chre, covered only with the cape of an old army over- coat as @ pall, the corpse having been entirely de- nuded of clothing by its frequent and hurried dragging wo and fro, | THE CRIME DISCOVERED. Berry took matters very covlly for several days and | then prepared to emigrate, keeping his children silent by repeated threats, He had gotten ws far as Mossy Creek, a station on the railroad, before the suspicions of the community had assumed sufficient tangibility to warrant an investigation as to the cause of the pro- longed absence of nis wife, which Berry had endeavored cise, epcaly wh talked | he declined, saying that Captain George Washington | had the true statement and would give it to the public, | te | im of the death of his sister, whose funeral would | ye black cap was | struck the unfortunate woman a heavy blow on | when Honeycutt knocked him down with a heavy stone and assauKed him afterward with a club and hatchet, pence = skull in amt and sarge several gaping wounds, either of which wo' eo poovad Srartal, ‘THE OWRCT OF TE MURDER was money, as Honeycutt admitted after his he supposing that Ansmus had several hundred with him, whereas he had only about $2v.

An | assemblage of negroes, numbering about 2000, wero | present in the village to witness the hanging, bat at the request of the condemned only about 150 were admitted | to the jail enclosure, and these —_ included the guard and relatives of the condemned. Withers confessed to the jailor and reporters ‘this morning that he committed the murder, alleging jealousy to be the cause, Owing to the fact that the | victim of the murder was one of their own race the | negroes were clamorous that the execution should take place mt twelve clock. About that hour the condemned man ascended the scaffold Upon reaching the platform he requested the officiating clergyman to warn the people against incurring his ter- rible fate and refused to say anything publicly himself, A solemn and impressive prayer was then offered, after | which the cap was placed over his features and the noose adjusted. Precisely at twenty minutes past | twelve the trap door was sprung and Withers | fell three feet. For a few seconds he hung motionless, and then began a series of terrible struggles. He drew up his legs repeatedly and suc- ceeded in placing his knees against the edge of tho | | platform, which partly supported him. An officer at ‘once pushed him off, but three times did he successfully | repeat this struggle for life, being as often pushed | of He continued to ’ struggle for several minutes afterward, but was not again able to reach ‘the platform. — After _ being suspended twenty-eight minutes, Drs, Clark and Strat- | | tou pronounced life extinct, and the body was cut down, | His neck was not broken. He died from | asphyxia. Withers met his fate with such perfect indif- | feretice that the spectators believed he was unconscious of it A heavy rain fell while the execution was in progress. ‘ THE CRIME. | The victim of Withers was an old negro woman about | sixty years of age, known as ‘Aunty Thomas,” who lived @ lonely life, and had a reputation among her race | as a fortune teller’ and sorcer Withers, who was | somewhat half-witted, had ‘heard that “Aunty” j hod said that he was a thief —_Incensed | | at this he beguiled her into the woods, and striking her upon the head with an axe killed her instantly. He | buried the body, as he thought, where it would not be disturbed; but rains came and ‘it was revealed, and led | to his arrest, trial and execution. | AN EXECUTION IN MONTANA TER- RITORY.

Ayers, in great trepidation, answered, on the back of the same sheet, imploring Webb, for God’s sake, to say nothing, for if be. he (Ayers) would be ruined; that as soon as he could gee bis lawyers he would take steps tw pro- him and gave him from an ignominious death. “Mere promises; however, did not satisfy Webb, and he to Ayers ina recriminating von, aay not been so eager for Reynolds’ deat wnat tes would have been in jail and Duncan ‘would have been still alive.
