stand in his own defense. For one Phour and 8 minutes he was subjected to examination by his counsel and a grilling cross-examination by the state. But the cross-examination failed to break down any part of his tesumony. Air. Isenhower appeared perfectly calm, assuming that stoical manner which has characterized his demeanor since the case charging him directly with tne murder of Oepu** ty Kaieign Boulware was begun on 'xuesduy. He answered in a clear voice to every question put and at no time did he hesitate to answer. The many Fairfield and York county people who tilled tne court room were all attention as Mr. isenhower related the events ol that tatetul June 14, 1915 at Wmnsboro. In reply to a question of Governor Biease, who conducted the direct examination, Mr. isennpwer said tnat ne was born and reared in fairfieid county, and was years old last May. He said he is a school teacher by protession, that he had taugnt two years 111 r airfield county, one in Richland and five in Florence county. He was leaching in Florence county in June and had been at his mother's home seven miles northeast ot Winnsboro one week and tour aays beiore tne tragedy. He said he nad owned a *?-. pistol a year, wnich he kept in his nome in 1'iorence county. His wife died last April and he had moved all his household effects together with the pistol, to his mother's nome in Fairneld county. He heard of the assault upon his brother, Clyde Isenhower1 s wne, last April. He had discussed the matter with his brother Clyde, and with his brother s wife alter he came home. He knew the negro, Jules Smith, and he knew his connection with the case. He knew, he said, that - the negro, Jules Smith, would be brought to Winnsboro courthouse for trial on the morning of June 14. About sun-up that morning he went to Winnsboro in company with his brother, Rural Policeman Willie Isenhower. He put his pistol in his pocket before coming. He said he had no special reason for doing so. 9 He was standing on the porch of the courthouse at Winnsboro, awaiting y1 tne coming of Solicitor Henry ana 5> Judge Wilson. He held a conversa) tion with Solicitor Henry at the request of his iqother, the gist of the conversation being a request that the solicitor not require Mrs. Clyde IsenxL hower to attend the trial on account of ^ ?* her physical condition. Mr. isenhower said that as he came down the courthouse steps and into ^? the yard he saw Sheriff Hood's posse coming with the prisoner. Some one called attention to his brother, Clyde, who had his pistol drawn. It was the first time that morning that he had seen his brother Clyde, he said. He saw Clyde Isenhower place his pistoi between the banisters of the courthouse steps and shoot Jules Smith. He saw Sheriff Hood shoot at Clyde Isenhower, and saw Clyde drop his arm after the sheriff shot. Raleigh Boulware, Mr. Isenhower said, shot once to the left of his (Ernest Isenhower's) head. The second shot from Boulware's pistol penetrated the left shoulder of the witness's coat. Boulware, he said, then turned as if to go back into the court room from whence he came, then turned again and leveled his pistol at the witness who then shot in the direction of Mr. Boulware. At that time, he said, other people were shooting. The witness said, "1 don't know whetner I shot Mr. Boulware or not. I have serious doubts about it. I shot in his direction." ' The witness identified the black serge coat which he wore the day of the shooting. There was a hole in the left shoulder of the coat. The coat was offered in evidence and was closely ly scrutinized by the Jurors. y) Mr. Isenhower said that four of his ' five brothers were in Winnsboro the day of the shooting. He said he knew Mr. Boulware slightly and that he and Boulware were friendly. He denied having cursed Mr. Boulware as Mr. Rose testified. He said he never uttered an oath in his life. He said he shot Boulware because Boulware had shot at him twice and to protect his own and his brother's life. After the shooting Mr. Isenhower said he rushed into the courthouse to find his brother Clyde, and to minister to his needs. He admitted taking a pistol away from Mr. McMaster. thinking it was his brother Clyde's weapon, but later discovered that the weapon did not belong to his brother. The accused man testified that he was arrested four or five hours after the shooting and was taken to the penitentiary where he was placed in the * ?? - ?"l. OX K.r 71 lounn story in a nine iwm og u; ? feet square. After he was released he said he went to Laurens where he applied for bail, then came back to the penitentiary where he spent the night and then returned to his mother's home in Fairfield county where he has since remained with the excerption of two weeks spent in Florence county * with his wife's relatives. Testimony Unshaken. The defendant was cross-examined by T. F. McDow. of the state's counsel. He said that a change of venue was 4 granted in his case from Fairfield to v York county on his petition that he W could not get a fair trial in his home county. He said he was not habitually accustomed to carrying a pistol. He had discussed the assault upon Mrs. Isenhower with Clyde Isenhower, but he and his brother had made no plans to do violence to the accused negro. He said he had not discussed the matter with his brother the night before the shooting. His brother had never conveyed to him his purpose to kill the negro. He said he had only seen Clyde Isenhower one time the day of the shooting and that was when Clyde shot the negro. He was 20 feet away from his brother then. The accused man denied having told Mr. W. L Haynes that he was not expecting any trouble but if they did have he was going to plug the s?b (meaning Sheriff Hood), the first shot. He said he naa no conversation whatever with Haynes previous to the shooting. In reply to a question of counsel, he reiterated his declaration that his brother Clyde, first shot the negro and that Sheriff Hood then shot his brother. There was no intermission in the shooting, he said. The witness denied ^ having fired the last shot, saying that other people were shooting at the same time he shot?people who were standing back of him. In answer to a question he admitted that what he did he did with deliberation and purpose. After the shooting he said he threw his pistol behind a dresser in Mr. Willingham's store in Winnsboro. He had looked for the pistol since that time but could not find it and did not know where it is now. The pistol he had taken from Mr. McMaster under the apprehension that it belonged to his brother Clyde, he left on Sheriff Hood's desk, he said. Asked to describe his own pistol, he said it was a 38-calibre, nickle-plated ^^^^^Smith & Wesson special. He said were five cartridges in the mag|^^^^HRne and that he fired only one time ^^B^^-Ie said that Deputy Boulware did not inove from his position on the steps when he (Boulware) fired at the witness. On re-direct examination. Mr. Isenhower stated that he was not thp only person who made affidavit for change f*- of venue on the ground of not being able to get a fair trial in Winnisboro J. E. McDonald. Esq., and a number of other Fairfield county citizens, made similar affidavits, he said. The defense closed its case after introducing a portion of the testimony of W. W. Turner and S. Y. Rose at the coroner's inquest as evidence. State in Rebuttal. W. L. Haynee, a pollpeman of the town of Winnsboro was placed on the stand by the state in reply. He said he and the Isenhowers were related. He said he had a conversation with Ernest Isenhower previous to the -u Annvfircatinn t h P lu niuvti vv?*v.ww..v.. witness had remarked that Sheriff Hood had said that he would die be? fore he would let them (Isenhowers) I take hin frisoner from him. The witness said that Ernest Isenhower said that he wasn't expecting any trouble but if they did, he Ernest, was going to plug the (meaning the sheriff,) the first thing." On cross-examination by Governor Blease, Mr. Haynes said he had talked to Jesse Morrison, Ernest Isenhower and Clyde Isenhower before a the shooting. Clyde remarked that he wasn't going to have any trouble but ^ if they took the negro to his (Clyde's home) "the negro would never come back." "Don't you think that would have been right?'' remarked the governor. "Yes," replied Haynes. "Are you a deputy in your county?" he was asked. He answered in the negative and in reply to another question by Governor Blease said he was searched at the courthouse door, yesterday morning as he entered the York county courthouse. "Was a deadly weapon taken off your person?" "Well I had a pair of knucks in my pocket," replied the witness. "I changed coats when I came here and forgot to take the knucks out of my pocaei. "I changed grips when I came here," retorted the governor, "but I left mine out." The state closed it case at 1.26. Yesterday afternoon was taken up with the arguments of counsel. Each side was allowed two hours' argument before the jury. Solicitor Hill opened the argument for the state. He was followed by Mr. Gaston of the defense. Mr. MqDow next addressed the Jury in behalf of the state and his argument was followed by Mr. Hart, who concluded yesterday afternoon at 5.20, when the court took a recess until this morning. This Morning. Qrnest Iscnhower may know his fate this afternoon. It is now in the hands of the jury. Every seat in the court room was occupied when the court convened at 9.40 this morning. Many persons were turned away because there were no seats. Before Mr. Blease concluded the argument for the defense, Judge Rice warned the audience against making any expression or indication of approval or disapproval of anything that either of the two speakers might say in their arguments. Despite the fact that they have been closely confined in the courthouse three days, the jurors appeared quite fresh when they entered the court room at 9.45. Former Governor Blease who concluded the argument for the defense this morning, spoke one hour and ten minutes. Those of the audience who expected his speech to be a political harangue were disappointed. The governor refrained from politics to a large degree, his speech being a review of the facts from the time of the alleged assault upon the wife of the ?* ad Isenhower. In conclusion the speaker told the jury that the whole state of South Carolina was watching them and awaiting their verdict with interest?not because of Ernest Isenhower or the law, but were anxious to see whether the twelve men "would uphold the virtue of the women of South Carolina." "Whether or not the law of South Carolina is oinaing or is mere waste paper," was the question before the jury, declared Solicitor Henry, who concluded the argument for the prosecution. "You must try this case in accordance with the statute law and the testimony," he said. "If you disregard the law, then there is no safety in this country. You must be blind to all else save the law and the evidence. " The solicitor spoke about one hour. In his charge to the jury, Judge Rice informed that body that they could not return a verdict on the ground of the "unwritten" law alone. The indictment was handed to the jury at 1 o'clock.
