Exceed $1,000,000. k Washington, Nov. 24.?Comment., ing on the arrest yesterday by poste office inspectors of John W. Knight i. of the cotton brokerage firm of r Knight, Yancey & Co., jjecatur, Ala., s Postmaster General Hitchcock today gave out a statement in which he - says that the operations of this conf cern through the alleged fraudulent e use of the mails would doubtless ex . ceed a million dollars. The alleged frauds were commit ted, he says, by, the use of bogus - bills of lading, covering fictitious i, shipments. Mr. Hitchcock asserted f that by making false reports of ship ments to insurance companies, certificates of insurance were procured e covering both railway and marine s risks. These genuine insurance cery tiflcates were accepted as indicating 1 the honesty of the shipments and the t bills of lading thus accompanied ji were negotiated by note brokers, ^ho ,1 procured payment from the foreign importers in advance of delivery. - The cotton purchased, Mr. Hitchcock a says, never arrived. e Mr. Hitchcock declared that the e transactions of Knight, Yancey & Co., i- were similar to those of another con n*.r>v\ r\f HrkHnth whf)SP mem i. bers were recently indicted on eviLj dence procured by. postofflce inspect. ors. ; The postmaster general's statement h. further alleges "that tbe investigation lf developed that the two concerns had ; an agreement by which they exchangy ed drafts, each holding power of at_ torney for the other to accept such i, drafts, and that together they committed frauds aggregating between I two and three million dollars."

The two remaining indictments will e charge carrying a concealed weapon 8 in each assault case. r, Edwards and other city employees, l, who struggled with Gallagher, testii fled before the grand jury, as did others who witnessed the shooting. ,t The jury adjourned until next Tuesn day at 2:30 p. m., when the indict:, ments probably will be ha&ded up to t the superior couri When Gallagher n is arraigned his counsel will enter a o plea of insanity. i- Gallagher gave out a statement tonight declaring what a delightful r Thanksgiving he had in the 'Hudson n county jail and declaring that he d was "more than delighted that there g was no cause for sorrow or anything n but Thanksgiving in the family of t- Mayor Gaynor." t YOUNG WILCOX CONVICTED, k Sentenced to One Year for Robbing - Ci D. ~ ^[Kiruiuuui^ owav* s s Spartanburg, Nov.. 2 5?Martin Wili cox, an eighteen-year-old white boy, was tried in the criminal court today on the charge of housebreaking and larceny. He had already confessed that he was guilty of breaking into Biber's jewelry store several weeks ago and taking therefrom several hundred dollars worth of jewel?1 ry. It was sought to convince thej l- jury that the youth was mentally e unbalanced, and testimony was introd duced by the defense to show that he e had always been a peculiar boy. is He claimed on the witness stand d that he was "duped" into committing e the crime. This did not go with the Spartanburg jury, however, and they g returned a verdict of guilty, with recommendation to the mercy of the h court. Judge Robert Aldrich sent> enced him to serve one year on the Lt public works of the county or a o like term in the State prison. Wild cox is very prominently connected e in this city. d e A Happy Marrige. 11 On the 15th instant, Mr. C. W. 7.

Negro Fails to Kill Himself by Butting Iron Bars. Camden, Nov. 23.?Fearing to stand a second trial or desiring to be in such condition that he would not be able to appear, Henry Huntley, charged with the murder of the exjailor Cook, and in whose case a mistrial resulted last week, was found by Jailor Rowe this morning apparently trying to beat his brains out against the bars of his cell. Whether he was really attempting suicide or simply wanted to put himself in such physical condition that he would * be unable to stand trial is. a matter of speculation. According to Mr. Rowe, the man did not succeed in doing himself any injury. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas county. SS. Frank J. Cneney makes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of F. J.

Aiken, Nov. 24.?Thanksgiving morning about 1 o'clock, "out at the home of Hattie Johnson, a negro woman living near Mr. C. K. Henderson's old farm, two negro men, Miller Lockhart and Will Coats, engaged in a difficulty, which resulted in Will Coats being ?hot, which, in all probability, will prove fatal. The particulars as nearly as could be learned, are as follows: Miller Locktlart was in the woman's house, and Will Coats came and demanded that they open the door, saying that if they didn't he would break the door down and kill them. Lockhart replied Jhat he had a pistol, and that if he (Coats) attempted to enter the house that he would shoot him. Coats forced the door open and ventured in, with his knife drawn, and Lockhart shot him once, the bullet going into his stomach. i Lockhart escaped and the police are hot on his trail, and hope to land him some time during the day. They knew nothing of the afTair until after 7 o'clock Thursday, morning. Coats is in a critical condition and the doctors think there is little, if any, chance dfVhis recovery. NEGRO TO BE HANGED. Henry Huntley Sentenced to Di^ at Camden. Camden, Nov. 25.?With an air of dogged defiance Henry Huntley, on trial for the second time for the murder of Mr. Cook, the jailer, heard himself sentenced in the Kershaw county court house to-night to be hanged until he- is dead on January 6, 1911, Jim Cox and Mary Jones, alleged to have taken part in the crime, were given ten and five years respectively, in the State penitentiary, Cox being found guilty of manslaughter, as was Mary Jones, the latter being recommended to mercy. The facts of the case are well known. On September 10, last, Jailer Cook was killed and the three prisoners made good their escape, being recaptured shortly afterward at different times. Last week the case was heard, but resulted in a mistrial, Judge Shipp ordering a new trial for to-day. To-doy's jury did not* take quite an hour to reach its decision. This hanging will be the first for Kershaw county in many, many years. EDITOR SENTENCED. F. D. Warren, of Kansas, Must Serve Six Months and Pay $1,000. F. D. Warren, of Girard, Kan., editor of a paper, "Appeal to Reason," must serve a term of six months in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan.? and pay a fine of $f,000 impos . J _. ed by a jury in tbe united states court in Kansas. The sentence of that court was affirmed by an order of the United States circuit court of appeals, filed at St. Pauls on Monday. Judge Hook wrote the opinion, and Judges Adams and Reed concurred. Warren was accused of sending through the United States mails envelopes on outside of which -was printed, "1,000 reward will be paid to any person who kidnaps Ex-Gov. Taylor and returns him to the Kentucky authorities." The indictment charged that the words were scurrilous, defamatory and threatening in character and intended to reflect injuriously on the character of Wm. S. Taylor, a former governor of Kentucky.
