The Maaajsera f Woolen and . Worsted
Goods in Rhode Island 'Will Increase
the Wages of the Operatives.
pHOvnBxcE,R. I., July 8. Wages in the
woolen and worsted Industry all over the
State will be increased daring the pres
ent month from 7 to 12 per cent. In
some factories the increase will affect
only the weavers for the present, but
in the other departments an increase
will probably follow by the middle of
August. Leading mill owners, stated
last night that the promises made to the
operatives in' the latter part of 1893,
when the cut in wages were made,
were about to be fulfilled. The increase
will also affect the big Olney ville Fac
tory district in this city. The mill
owners, it is learned, have made better
rates on light weight cloth work, the
manufacture of which will begin during
the present month. This assures
higher wages to the operatives in this
locality. The smaller mills all over
the State will at once follow the lead of
theOlneyville mill owners in making
the advance. The formal announce
ment of the Olnejwrille increase will be
made soon.

Special to the Observer, ",- '" T-
Lexikgton, July 8. At 12:30 o'clock
to-day Mr, Baxter Shem well was called
to the stand. He said: 'I was 37 years
old in March. Have been married since
June 8th, 1882. I bought an Interest in
the Lexington Drug Company in Janu
ary, 1893. , Owned part in it at that
time.; Had. made no threats against
Dr. Lee Payne. We met in the barber
shop Saturday night," the 23rd of Feb

over I met Chief-of -Police Michael and
told him something relative to the
trouble and also told my wife when I
reached home. j.
OXXt DB. rATN HAILED 8 HEM WELL.
"Monday morning early. I was com
ing up street to my business. Had got
five or six feet beyond Dr. Payne, Sr's.,
yard gate; heard, some one say Shem-
weii; looked and saw the old doctor
beckoning me with his right hand and
closing front door with left, which was
about 75 feet from the gate. I stepped
back to the gate and put my arm on
the gate post to await his arrival there;
waited till he came within eight or ten
feet and said: 'Good morning Dr.
Payne.' He made no reply to my
salute, but walked up near me and
said: 'I understand that you drew a
pistol on my son.' I said: 'He put his
hands to bis pocket and I just did it to
save myself; besides I thought that this
matter was settled.' Then he kinder
turned as to walk back to the gate, and
said: 'You are armed now, are you
not, sir?' Said it twice. I never an
swered but looked enraged at him. Then
he caught hold of his coat and said:
I canwhip you myself, sir.' Then. I
think I said, 'if you are going to whip
me, come outside and don't stand! in
side and abuse me. ThenJie threw
up to me about practicing for my moth
er and making no charges. Something
else passed, I can t ..remember what.
Soon after I said I wanted you people
to let me and my business alone. He
then asked me: "How are we bothering
your business?' I replied you had con
tinually bothered Wheeler and ruined
bis business by circulating that he
he kept old medicines and substituted
prescriptions. He immediately shook
his fist in my face and called me a liar.
I had a cologne bottle in my hand. I
reached over and struck him with it.
He immediately pulled out his pistol
and snapped it at me. About the same
time 1 reached for mine, and just then
Mr, Redwine stepped up and caught
me and my pistol went olf, shooting
into the ground below. Mr. Redwine
shoved me off into the street. About
that time I saw Lee Payne coming from
tne orace with pistol in nana.. Tiien
I don't remember who fired first. I, re
treating across the street, emptied my
pistol and got behind a tree. Ail three
of us did shooting. I was about the
middleof the street when I fired my
last shot. Then I got behind the tree.
I heard either Mrs. Margrave, Dr.
Payne, Sr's., sister, or his wife say
'Come back, Brother Robert, and the
other, who was standing in Dr. Payne's
porch, say 'Run, Shem well or they will
kill you.' When I was leaving I heard
Dr. Lee Payne say 'Run, you cowardly
cuss;' also saw him go to the office and
come back with a gun. I could not tell
what kind of gun and I did run. I
though he was stooping from inside of
the fence as if trying to shoot me. ' I
remember telling Will Hamner to bring
me a gun, after seeing Dr. Lee Payne
with a gnn.
"IF YOU GO, I GO."
r,I went over to Peacock's store and
called for a gun, but didn't get it.
Went immediately to Redwine's Got
a-box of cartridges at Peacock's. At
lied wine s I got a double-barrelled shot
gun. Said to nobody that 'yesterday I
was glad that I didn't- kill him, but to
day I am sorry. I went on down the
street from Redwine's, somewhere near
Mrs. Adderton r gate- Then I met my
wife, who said to me: 'You are not go
ing down there. If you go, I go, and if
they kill you they will kill me, too.'
"Mrs. Adderton came oat, caug-ht the
lapel of my coat, and said: 'Baxter, be
quiet. You used to listen to Mr. Ad
derton; now I want you to listen to me
and be quiet. I said: They way-laid
me and tried to kill me,' and then
came on. op the street. I did not say
that I would kill them both before
night, I came on with my wife to the
drug store, I did not dare the Paynes
out of the office; did not see them in
the office. . - . '
"1 went in the drugstore. I don't re
member what I did with the gun. - Sent
my tittle boy down street with the car
tridges. In. the drug-store I went back
to the office, mywife with rce; . While
there Will Hamner came and said: 'You
better watch out,' the Paynes said-ihey
were going to kill you before night.'
"i minx, l seat r or my Winchester

my little boy home after some but nei
ther would they fit. ; My wife came part
of the way. I wens and got it. Came
to the drug store and loaded it and set
it down in the office of the - drag store.
My boy brought some : cartridges that
would not fit. I had sent tor my horse
in the meantime, I told my wife what
I wanted with him. J wanted to get out
of the town, to avoid, the crowd..- But
when I got on my horse I went , home
and got some eart'idges that would fit
my pistol and also got - the large pistol
from under my wife's bed.-: It was her
pistol, one I left her for protection when
I was away; never had carried-: . it my
self, -.Went home by the back street,
because I didn't care to pass the Payne's
office. 1 1 came quite away from-'old Dr.
Payne's; - and -went quite a way from

came pretty quick. I sent 'my horse

I said: .'Have you disarmed the Paynes?'
He palled out the : two pistols and. said
yes. I went on .. into" the court house
with Mr." Griffith when I declined to
give np my pistols." I was coming out
of the door of the grand jury room, lie
(June Michael) asKed me for my pistols.
I told him to come and go to the drug

; "I had made arrangements to go with
my.wife. to the" farm after the triaL .1

came out and went into the drug store
ana asked where my wife (Laura). was.
l remarked to some workmen that all
was over now, to get down to business;
went vback - got --my : pistols and
looked ; over tny.- mail.' As iome
uac sunieuouy .. met meena taiK-
ed to 'me a few minutes. Then
1 - stepped out, met ex-Sheriff Grif
fith and told him all was over. -I
was going home. I intended "to take
my wife's pistol home to her. Was go
me nome to get my team and take the
family out oathe farm, According to
my custom, w nen i came, out on the
street from the court house, the Paynes
were not in sight. Did not know they
had jrone to Lawyer . Williams' office.
They had had time to get home.- Started
on home; met my wife about the March
House, told her I was just going down
to Hinkle's store, for I did not want
her to go all the way home as she was
tired; told her to stay till I came back.
My little boy was with me. I had my
arms about his neck. . He stopped a
little at the March House, but later on
he caught nearly up and called 'Pa Da.

not far behind me.
DISOOVEKKD THE PAYNES AHEAD.
"About the lower corner of the Meth
odist church I saw the Paynes the first
time mat l Knew they were ahead of
me on the sidewalk.- I looked up and
saw the doctors. Saw somebody with
them who had on a cheviot. I mav have
quickened my step a little to pass them
oeiore tney got to the office, for I knew
that they had gnn9 there. I caught up.
passed Mr. Crotts; he was about eight
or ten feet behind. I spoke to him,
called his name. After passing him
and about even with Dr. Pavne. Sr..
Crotts hollered out: 'Doctor! doctor!
Shem well is on you.'
SIIEMWELL 8 ACCOUNT OF THE FATAL
MEETING.
"About that time I was a step ahead of
the old doctor, and about even with
the young doctor. As I got ahead of
the old doctor, young Dr.- Payne imme
diately drew a pistol. I stopped to grab
ior mine. The old -doctor grabbed
me by the arm, shoved me out
in the street beyond the ditch.
I stumbled and liked' to have fell.
He shoved me beyond the ditch. I
jerked my left hand loose, jerked the
other loose, got my pi9tols out and
looked and shot at Dr. Lee. Payne. He
(Dr. Lee) was running around trying to
shoot me as the old doctor shoved me
back. Just as I shot the old doctor
grabbed at me a second time and got
shot. I grabbed (Lee) Payne's beard
and fell, the old doctor falling on top.
Somebody came pp aLd I hollered take
mm oir. uion t know that the old doc
tor was shot. As we were pulled up
the old doctor had my coat. I said:
'Take him loose, and tried to loosen
him, when he turned loose. He stag
gered and fell. Then I knew, for the
first time, that he was shot. I never
attempted to get my pistols till Dr. Lee
Payne drew his on me. I got them out
as soon as I got loose from the old doc
tor at first. Think I shot both pistols.
Pulled both when Dr. Lee drew his
pistol; was walking on by them on to
ward home. ,
CROTT S CEY THE SIGNAL FOR DRAWING
GUNS.
"Neither doctor madeanvdemonstra-
sion till Crotts said 'Shem well is on
you.' Lee Payne immediately drew
his pistol when Crotts spoke. My pis
tols were in my pocket. I never at
tempted to draw mine till Dr. Lee
Payne drew his. When I was taken
out of the fight I was very weak. ' As I
came upon the side walk, just before I
got there my wife came up and caught
hold of me. I also put an arm around
her waist. She said: 'Honey, I thought
this thing was settled.', I re d! led: 'So
did I, but I had it to do. About this
time, or possibly before this, mv little
soa cried and said: 'Papa is not guilty,
Isaw Dr. Payne drawhis pistol first.'
tie aiso saia: 'i saved my papa s life.
I palled the pistol off Of his heart.' I
told nobody that I was going to kill
both. . -
"I came on back ud the street. Met
June Michael somewhere and said:
'June, I thought, you disarmed those
men- We were near Mrs. Adderton 's
gate when I said it.
"l RAVE KILLED THE WRONG MAN."
"Then I came on to the druer store.
Mr. Kenney, deputy sheriff, was with
me. l asken mm to let me wash. I
was muddy. Was behind the counter.
about half way of the store. I saw
Sheriff Leonard step in, I threw up
my nanas ana said: 'shew IT, I am your
prisoner,' and think I said: 'I have
killed the - wrong man' substantially
that. Then I was taken to 1ail. About
a week after the homicide I went to
Charlotte jail. - - . r . -

"Mr. TV. D. Smith did tell me to

"I hadbeen run and called a coward

come 1 would have gone down then
to Payne's and had it out. I intended
to go and have it out, kill one or be'
killed. I had been waylaid and run.
My wife implored me to come back. I
don't remember nourishing my gun or
pointing it -toward the Drs. Payne.
Yes, Mrs. Adderton came after I bad
started back. She caught me by
the lapel of my coat and said that her
husband was a friend and that she
wanted to be now.
"I know that I did not use the expres
sion that Mrs. Adderton said that I did.
Don't remember hearing my wife say to
Mrs. Michael that she could do more
with me than anybody else, and to. go
away. Don t remember when, out am
tell Jim Uunt to go get my Winchester
rifle because! had Mr. Redwine's gun,
and wante4:io return it. Don't remem

I may havfrtold.him to charge it to me.
Yes, J went down to Hinkle's store
where someone had taken it from Jim
Hunt and placed it. Yes, I took it to
the store and loaded it. It was a 17
shooter. Don't remember June Mi
chael coming to me and trying to arrest
me and 1 telling him to go away, ne
had nothing to do with me. I told him
possitive to go' and arrest the Payne's
first as they attacked me first. When
he tried to arrest me he did arrest me.
No, I am not in habit of riding horse
back, but do ride some time. I did ride
down the back street to home; went
down there to get some cartridges to fit
my pistol and to get the big pis
tol 'ofjjr my wife's. I wanted . to
be readr for I had been attacked. X
went to Redwine's the second time after
a couple o f pistols, but sent them back
as soon as I loaded mine. I think the
pistols from Redwine's were 38; think
that L loaded them.' Xhey were Dotn
loaded.
"Have no recollection of the officer
saying to me that the Drs. Payne want
ed to give bond in their office and wait
awhile till things got quiet. Do remem
ber that I told my counsel that I wanted
the trial at once and get it settled.
Don't remember the officer telling me
that the Paynes were coming unarmed,
and that I must go unarmed. He may
have said it but I have no recollection
of it, But when T4r. Michael brought
the pistols and assured me that they
were unarmed, 1 tnougnt it. -
"The officer met me in the court
house and took me back to the grand

time. I don t think that 1 pulled out
my pistol as I jumped out of thej

cause I had been attacked and wanted!
to out mv pistol in the drawer. My re
collection is that I sentlfor Jim Michael:
to bring my coat. He did. I gave
him both pistols or I took both and pot
them in the drawer. - I don't remember

that one of the pistols was my wife s,

the Paynes in front. ..I may have quick

the indications now are that the Re
