For sale by
cated in Randolph county some time
during 1883. It was in 1887 that Betch
ler escaped from the penitentiary. Flein-
ming was positive that Johnstone was
' Chris" Betchler and so stated. On the
trial of the laud case Johnstone was ask
ed if he was not "Chris" Betchler, and
if he had not been convicted in Shelby
in 1885 and sentenced to the penitentiary
for ten years, and he had escaped there
from in 1887? Of course J hnstone de
nied bitterly all this and said he was an
entirely different man from Betchler
The defendants in the land -case had
Johnstone arrested as an escaped pris
oner. Johnstone sued out a writ of
habeas corpus but could not produce any
witness beside himself to disprove the
positive assertion of Elemming that he
was "Chris" Betchler, and the judge re
fused to discharge him and ordered that
he be returned to the penitentiary. The
arrest and decision of the judge caused
Johnssone to lose the land suit. As soon
as Johnstone reached the penitentiary
he sent for a lawyer, but had no money
to pay him. He gave the lawyer the ad
dress of a number of people in Mont
gomery county and that of a man in At
lanta, whom he said knew him and
would swear he was not Betchler.-' The
lawyer wrote twice to each of these par
ties and did not receive an answer to a
single letter that he wrote. The failure
to have his letters returned or to receive
an answer from either of the parties to
whom he had written did not impress
the lawyer in favor of Johnstone and he
gave no more attention to the case.
Four weeks ago Colonel Cebron L
Harris, a man seventy nine years of age,
who formerly resided in Rutherfordton !
and knew the Betchler family well, went
to the penitentiary to examine the man
ufacture of brick, which is carried oh in
side the stockade. While in the yard
he saw a tall white man at work and
inquired who he was and was told that
it was "Chris" Betchler. Col. Harris
then asked and was allowed to talk with
the prisoner. He stated to Col. Harris
the facts herein stated as to his identifi
cation as "Chris" Betchler and asked
Harris if he knew Betchler. Harris re
plied that he had known all the family
for fifteen years before the war and
wmie tney lived in Rutherfordton. He
was then asked if he, the prisoner, was
"Chris" Betchler and Harris unhesita
tingly declared that the prisoner was
not Betchler. A lawyer was then em
ployed and aoiother writ of habeas cor
pus was issued by Justice Montgomery
and the prisoner was brought before
him. Captain Fiemmhig swore that he
believed the prisone. to be "Chris"
Betchler, and that he had known him
as a prisoner in the penitentiary for the
two years he was in the penitentiary.
That he had escaped and remained at
large until 1893, when he was ' arrested
at Asheboro and returned to the prison,
and that the resemblance of the prisoner
to Bechler was very striking. Col. Har
ris was men put on the witness stand
and told of the young bov "Chios'
Betchler he had known before the war
for fifteen years; how he had seen him
grow up to be a man, and that he knew
him perfectly well ahd'could not be mis
taken; and that the prisoner before the
court was not "Chris" Betchler: and
that since he bad seen the prisoner in
the penitentiary he had thought -the
mairer over and had talked with his
wife about the case, and that there was
a test which would show whether the
prisoner was Betehler. Harris then ask
ed the prisoner to exhibit his right leg
above the ankle for examination. Tha
prisoner complied with this request and
Harris made an examination and said
that the prisoner was not ' 'Chris' ' Beteh
ler because Ectchler had the scars' of a
bad dog bite on his right leg which he
had received when he was not over ten

of Hamilton, Ga., "and he asked me
to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm for
rheumatism with which I had suffered
for a long time. I told him I had no
faith in any medicine as they all failed.
He said: 'Well if Chamberlain's Pain

and used it according to directions and
