CHIEF OF POLICE WHITLOCK FATALLY SHOOTS FORMER STATE ?ETECTIVE C: Wi ROBERTSON WHITLOCK DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF IT Says Someone Struck Him in Head With Axe Handle and He Drew His Pistol and Opened Fire. Charles \V. Robertson, formerly a State detective- tinder Governor Mease, wuh shot and instantly killed lute yes terday afternoon at Pendleton by Chief of Police tf. IT. Whitlock of thut place. Causes underlying the tragedy were not revealed lust night, and, It was authoritatively stuted, if these are not shown today ut the inquest it Is probable that tho trial of the cubc will bring to light snrao interesting detallB. Whitlock was..brought to Anderson last night by Sheriff Ashley and lodg ed In the county .lall. Interviewed up on his arrival by a representative of The Intelligencer, lie, stated that he knew nothing as to events immediately preceding the kill ing, and did not know that ho had shot Robertson until ad ! vised so by the physicians who dross Iod severe wounds which had been in ! Meted on his head with a bludgeon of some description. "I was standing in Campbell's store," said Whitlock, "when someone npprouched mo from behind und struck mo a terrific blow in tho hack of tho head with un are handle I do not remember firing uy ou anyone, uivd did not know what had taken placo until I was told by Doc tors Watkins and Day, who dressed my wounds." , ?. : 'Several questions wore put to the prisoner by Tho Intolligencer report or, but all that could be had from him was that he knew nothing what had happened. When asked if ho had seen Robertson at any time during the day provious to tho 'difficulty' in the store, Whitlock replied that he didn't know, that he might have seen him for all ho knew. Sheriff Ashloy had oo little- time at Pendleton that he did not make an investigation of the case, but returned immediately upon the first train with the prisoner. It is understood that a jury of inquest was impanelled h-.si. night for the pur pose of viewing the body in order that It might be removed to the the home. The coroner . will go up te Pendleton this morning and conduct the usual Investigation. It was learned from reliable source that Whitlock aud^Robertson had not been on the best of terms for Home time, and. it is thought that bad blood was probably at the bottom of tho tragedy. As to circumstances lead ing up to the killing, however, noth ing could be learned. As stated, the sheriff did not have time to make an investigation of the affair; and tele phone communication with Pendletou last night could not be had. Up until something like a year ago, it Is stated, Robertson held a com mission as a State detective Under Governor Mease. For some tlmo ho worked at Chesterfield with ?herlff D. P. Douglass. Since tho election of Mr. Manning as governor. It Is under stood, Robertson had been seeking re appointment. The dead man. was some 40 years of ago and was born in ' the Honea Path section of tho county. Ho has one brother.

Anoth er brother, Krank Robertson, former j ly chief, of police at Belton, 1b a resi dent of thiH city, being proprietor of the Gretchen Inn, on South Main street. Robertson was at one time chief of police at Pen 10ton and had been making his homo there for a number of yearn. He Is said to have been exceptionally popular in his community. S. II. Whitlock stated last night that he had been chief of police at Pendleton for 11 years. That he had been dealtii a terrific blow In the j head with a club or stick, wau evident from the spectacle which he pre sented when brought to the county juil lust night. His entire head was encased in heavy bandage and his col lar and shirt drenched with blood. He exhibited several severe bruises on his left arm, which appeared to be so sore that he could not bear touch ing it. Though direct information relative ' to the homicide could not be had last night, it was learned from sources considered reliable that Whitlock emptied the cbntents of a Smith and Wesson special 6-Bhootcr pistol at Robcrtron, but that only one bullet took effect, thin striking the latter just above his left hip. Robertson is said to have walked the length of the store bef. re he fell and expired. The shooting took place at 5:40 o'clock. Immediately upon receipt of notice of the affair, Sheriff Ashley left for Pendleton,'going on the C o'clock train. He returned to the city on tho train arriving hero stortly after '8 o'clock. The killing has -caused a turmoil in Pendleton, it is reported, whero both men are well and fav orably known.

BUNKS TO 10 ESTEEMED TEACHER LEAVES | FACULTY .OF; .FRAZER FITTING SCHOOL WORK GOING ON Financial Conditions Alone Re sponsible for Change Say Trustees* The board of trustees of the Frazer Fitting School announced ye3terday that Professor A. R. Bunks has with drawn from the faculty of the institu tion and that the work has been dis tributed so an to care for all of the classes. Professor Danks has been conversant with every movement ?f I the institution since hla connection with it in September. It was evident soon after the opening of, the insti tution that the expenses would be In excess of the receipts. It' is the set tled policy of the institution to keep clean of anything like a' large Indebt edness. When, the real situation was confronted Professor Banks very gen erously offered to withdraw from the institution, inasmuch' ns -he was the most recent addition to the faculty, and inasmuch as hin ties to Ander son were not so binding,' as those of j other members of the faculty. The whole matter has been most satisfac torily arranged and Professor Banks in leaving the institution of his own accord has tho highest esteem of the faculty and members of tho board of j trustees, and they are likewise es teemed by him. The services render ed by Professor Banks were most satisfactory and but for the great fi nancial stress caused by the war in Europe there would have never been any thought of such a change in the plan? of the institution. Professor Banks goe3 to Columbia, his former home, while the work of | the institution here goes on under th? direction of the other members of the faculty. Dr. Frazer has asked the board of trustees to relieve him of any further'responsibility for the dis cipline and the finances of the insti tution. He will remain as the head master and professor of Bible. The institution has done remarka bly fine work and it is so arranged ua to carry on tho work in the future without any lowering of the standard Bet by the former achievements of tho Institution. Professor Hanks has been most pleasantly associated with the various interests-of the city and leaves with the deepest regrets. He has found large place In the hearts of the peo ple and he Has" been most pleasantly associated in every way. He carries with him the love, and respect of the large circle of friends. Including every student who has been under his instruction during his services to the institution. He hod learned to say from the very bottom, of his heart .'JAnderson'le iny:town" and he feels very keenly The rending of the. ties that have been so pleasantly formed.
