He and the young .on of Barrett are still in jail. Chief Whitaker Testifies At the coroner's inquest held Saturday ?at the Court Hou.se, <fliiof (>f p0]ic? Whitaker 'told the ?tory ,yf the shock ing tragedy which cast two lives. It showed that he himself made a nar row escape from being rthot to death with two men shooting at him. and it was oui'iy by his ftoeunate aim that he Muoceeded in felling the two men. Chief Whitaker stated that Mr. Hate man asked his assistance and company on the raid, and that they drove to a jK>in't not far from Beaver Dam Church, at the place wOiere Sanders Creek heads! The automobile they wore driving wn stopped about haJf a mile from where the still was Hocated in order that "the outlaws could not hear their approach. They hunted aroirod in the vicinity fop a short time and finally got. trace of the st ill from the mvoke arising. iMie moonshiners had entered the underbrush j from a large tree which had fallen Into the swamip, thereby obliterating any pathway. Air. Bateman led the way on the log and when within fifteen feet from the man' Barrett. from a crouch ing position pointed hks gun at Mr. Bateman. Mr. Bateman called to him twice "Don't do that!" Whereupon Barrett fired and Mtr. Bateman feH. Chief. Whitaker immediately dropped to his knees and began firing at the two men, who were both .^hooting at him. He emptied his own pistol and then took Mr. Bateman's weapon and fired three more -shots. By this time Barret had been so badly wounded that ho | cried "111 give up". Chief Whitaker then went to him awl took hi? revolver mit of his hand. Seeing that Barrett was apparently wounded and that Sheorn was lying prone upon the ground with nrnns outstretched he turned his atten tion to Mr. Bat oman. who had made his way half the length of the log and faHen. Together with young Barrett, the lad Who had run when the shoot ing commenced, but who had returped, carried Mr. Bateman fully half a mile before assistance reached them. The wounded <^ficer was hurriedly driven to Camden and taken to the hospital. Chief Whitaker staled at the inquest that Mr. Bateman told him that there were -four men at the KtiJl when they walked tip and that two men ran away while the others did the shooting, and that it was Barrett wiho had fired the ?hot. that hit him and nTiso that "Ward law Russell was at the root of the Whole affair". Chief Whitaker stated that he did not see but three men, but that later he had gone to the scene and ther* found a coat and from letters hnd paperw found in the pocket it was evfdent that the coat belonged to W. F. Russelfl, Jr. ' At first it is said that Russell de nier! being at the place and claimed, to have been at h?s farm near the cot ton miO. Later he is safd to have ad mitted tfbat he was present when the officers came' up, that bin mission there was to purchase whiskey. He Is said to have run out of the swamp and In a very short Hms was back in Camden. Russell Placed Under Bond Quite a sensation was sprung Fri day afternoon When a warrant was trworn out by Chief Whttaker for the arrest of W. F.

According ta theDecember reports there were 22 com urn incuts on thia account j in MareV 40 ; in June 145. \ 'The number of amaults reported for the June quarter was 175, while 86 were reported for the March quarter. The June quarter shows 240 commit' ihents for larceny which might be com pared with the March quarter which had 215.

"Croift Williams, secretary of the State Hoard of Charities and Correc tions, said that there were four main causes for this state of affairs First, he said, "there if* a psychological re action from tho\ war which cheapens human life, that the people have heard so much of slaughter and have gotten their minds atune to the theory that wrong must be stopped by physical forcoj second, the men returning from the war were of the age at whjch most crimes /lire committed* the reports of South Carolina showing that a third of the crimes in thi? state -ore com mit ted by negro <m flies from 17 to 20 years of age ; third, the enacting and enforcing of prohibition laws in other states, diminishing the supply of intox imtiikg liquors and force the price there for to an exhorbitant height, has en couraged those who were determined to ijse or sell such to manufacture them or to employ extracts, patent medicines, or other substitutes ; fourth, the insta bility of prices and the restlessrfess of the population always .have a reflection in the acts of those that are passion ate or of a weak will. ??
