Abbeviile Pres? and Banner. Last Friday about sunset. Dear the quiet village of Cokesbury, McCre?ry ; Giviaph killed bis brother, John i Glymph. The circumstances iiamedi a-ely attending the tragedy are few and easily tolu, bat the eauses leading up to I the act date back l?verai years. Some j .'knowledge of all the parties concerned ! may be of interest to the general reader. 1 I McCreery G!yu:ph and bis brother John were sons of the la?e D. B. Glymph, who was long a resident of Hodges, and a reputable citizen of this county. 'Mack,1 as be is familiarly called, is about 32 years of age. Some years j ago he was bookkeeper for the well i kuowc firm of McCreery & Bro. in j Columbia, and proved himself quite ca- j j pable. Since leaving Columbia he has i resided at Hodges engaged in business j wiiii bis father. About-a year ago he i removed to the Beacbaoi place, near j Cokesbury, and was conducting a.farm. j John Giynjph was about tweoty-two j i years of age and had no occupation. About ?ve years ago Mack Giympb j I married Miss Jennie P. Townsend, a \ j bright young womau, quite attractive j in person ami manners. She was of ! : good family connections, being a dungh- | j ter of J. F. Townsend and -graaddaugh I ter of Rev. Joel Townsend of venerated I memory 'among all Methodists in this Stale. Her ms:ernal grandfather,was the late "Dr. W. C Norwood who dis covered the uses of veratrv.m vir i de. She was educated at an excellent Fe male College and stood high in her .classes. Some years ago she aud Mack Giympb were married quietly at the residence of Mrs. Hewlett, his sister, by a minister of the Christian Church., It is said that when married, Miss Jen nie was engaged to be married to John Giympb, and also to another excellent young man. Whether these things are true or net it has been common talk that the married couple did not, live pleasant!; She liked 'John's ways better than Mack's ways,* and they sep arated several times. Ker fondness for John led to a difficulty between the two brothers, a few weeks ago, in which Mack was rather roughly handled. ; John lived at the Beacham place wilh tie couple, but her par iality for him ' became so marked that it was aauoyicg j 1 o Mack. Friday afternoon, all the j ; parties being at Hodges, an altercation j j arose between the brothers and Mack']1 requested John not to come to his house j{ again. Mack and his wife went home. ' John followed after them on foot bav- ] ing borrowed an extra ; pistol from a 1 young man named j&tnerson. Soon \ tft.r J..-liii reached :he i*ca*eit sa?iss that the al?erca?oa ' w;:S renewed and ; John was killed. 1 Perhaps two hours intervecod be tween arrival of John and hi? death. A load had been taken from Mack's < gun ly John, ai the" request vt Mrs. j Jennie Giympb.'- Discovering this, j Mack recoTc-red the cartridge from John ;1 and reloaded ?he gua. During two 1 hours it is impossible to narrate ail tho ' incidents rbat occurred in the hotise hoid of Mack Glympbi He went off ! for Trial Justice Moore i-0 aid hi::) lu ridding his h?>mc of she presence of his j brother. T?iis officer of tli?jaw was ; ' absent from homo. Mack returned to j: his owe iioc^c and west to nia'rocm. j1 Again he earnestly requested John to p leave the place. John replied ibat j Mrs. Clymph had asked him to remain ' J and protect Her a-;d *he couldn't refuse 1 to protect a lady ' So matters prepress- ' ed until the fajat shot waf= 5ied. Mack ! ' used a double-barrel breech-?oa?ing j shot gun Several shot rook ;.{fect. j1 One entered John's left temple and one j1 penetrated his eye entering the brain. ; and death was instauloueous. The shot in the brain caused the muscle's of j1 John's hand, in which a British bull- j j dbg ptytol was grasped, to contract, i He fell f>ce > downward in the pa?page- j way connecting the kitchen and the ' mais building. Mrs. Giympb went J hurriedly out of the back door, halted a ; : moment 2nd then went to a neighbor's. : \ Muck took his two children La bis 1 arms to a house near by, and then went ? : to a Irin! justice and surrendered him-/ self. News of the killing spread rap- 1 i idly a'.;d persons who lived near by i ! were soon on rhe spot. Nigijt bad fall pen upon the scene and the. house was las silent as the grave. Lights were j ; j procured. John lay as h-3 had feilen j A pool of blood surrounded his pros i tr?te * form. His right hand Snuly grasped a pistol, his finger on the trig ger. Trial Oastice 3Io'-re at once or ganized a jury of inquest, and evi- j dence was taken as to how :i:e homicide i ; occurred. In one of the pockets of the \ I deceasec ar jtlur loaded pistil was : found, together with a memorandum ! toed: in which wore various entries re- ; iatiog to Mrs Giympb, and the letter ] which appears in the evidence else- ; where. L>at ii;:ic testimony as to the j actual killing oould he obtained. The inquest concluded, the deceased was buried on Saturday afternoon in the* j cemetery at Hodges, Rev. Mr. Dautzlerl rea tins the funeral services. McCreery Giympb. has employed j Messrs. Eugene i> Gary and Frank ! Gary, and D FX. Magi] I to act tis his attorneys. They demanded a prclim-i ifary ioves-igation which was held by Tria! Justice Moo!" ut Cokesbury on Monday. Some additional testimony to that given at. the inquest was taken. It was of the .-:;me tenor. The Coroner's Inquest. Jennie i*. Giympb, sworn, .'ays: ! live iit Abbeville County, S. C, j about one o ii< frotn Cokesbury. This j afternoon I was -it home. At the ti:n" j of the shooting this evening 1 was i:i the room opposite the dining room in tny house. ? heard the shooting. Be fore the shooting 1 heard n>y husband, 1 McCreery Glyraph, and his brother, ! Johnnie i*. Giympb, quarreling. I duuV know that wiiat Johnnie s:iid ; would be considered quarreling. John nie told Mack not to curse hi:rt nor j trouble him ; he didn't want to have any fu.-s with liimi My husband used very profane language to Johnnie, his brother. The quarrel was about John nie commg here ta my bouse to stay. Mack ordered hi tu to leave the bouse. Johnnie said be only come for his ! clothes and nothing else. This quarrel j was about an hour before ?hc shooting i occurred. When my husband. Muck, j ordered Johnnie away I roid him j (Mack) he bad no right to order John- j nie away ; that he (Macs) had threat- j cued to kiil mo so ofteu when he was J drinking, I wouid like far Johnnie to stay as well for protection as for com pany. And then Johnnie says I can't refuse to protect any lady if ehe asks me. Mack told him then he would go j for Mr. Moore, tbe Trial Justice, be- j sides he would bring tweaty-fiye men aud have him taken away. A good deal more was said to which I paid no attention Mack did most cf the talk ing. All this talking occurred about one hoar before the shooting. The next time I saw Johnnie he was silting just inside the kitchen door. ' When 11 . . . went out of dining room to opposite j room to lay niv baby down, as I passed j my room door ? saw Mack laying down on bed in my room. At the time Johnn:e was inside the kitchen door, j while I was in the room opposite din- J ing room I beard the shot, and Mack, my busband, say, 'Now, see what I have done.' He says, too, in tender tones, 'I am going to kiil yon too, Jen nie/ I didn't see Mack, but I thought I heard him walk from dining room into ray room. I then ran out into the ha!i and out the back door and as I got on the back steps, I halted and I saw Johnnie's feet sticking out the kitchen door, just as if he had fallen backwards and the chair had failen backwards with him It seemed to me 3s if the shot had carried him backwards and his feet were projecting over a chair, j ? didn't see Mack at all after tbe shoot- j ing, only heard what he said. This [ shooting occurred to-day about sunset, j Johnnie had been staying at my house ?orne time. Has been living with us. ! J?;h!.uie was an orphan, and had no home. He was 21 years oid. Mack and Johnnie have had several disputes since Johnnie has been living with us. I don't know exactly the cause cf the trouble between Johnnie and Black. Sometimes they would quarrel about Due thing, and sometimes about another. I staid at the depot last night, at my sister-in-law, Mrs. Kowiett's. My busband, Mack, was there a while. Johnnie G lymph statd also at Mrs. [lowiett's last night. Johnnie and Mack had some words at Mrs. Row [eti's this morning.

Mack was complaining. lie re fused to come to dinner, because he said he was not welcome, but finally came in.

Mack had complained to me j about Johnnie's attentions, but there | was nothing to complain about. I wrote [ a note to Johnnie Glymph the evening of the homicide. (The note offered in evidence.) Jennie P. Glymph admits the note. Jennie P. Glymph. a woman's wonderful love. The following is the letter above re ferred to, which was in John Glymph's pocket, and which Mrs. Glymph ac knowledged writing : Oh I my darling, how my heart throbs when ? go .iu your room and no Johnnie, sweet Johnnie, is there. There are all cf ycur clothes to look at, which makes me so sad, my angel. I can't be happy away from you. John nie you have no idea how my heart ached when f drove away without, you to-day.

I An Episode in the History of CMoag? Crime. rr.o:i the diary of detectrte dents simmons. of tee bane .detail 0? the centi1al station. L Early in the spring of 1072 the boarders at Mrs. I-reimghnysen's bouse, on West Adams street, felt themselves constrained to discuss and deckle a very delicate qncsr tion. For scar e time previoas the con duct of Mrs. Alice. Gaypole had giron them great concern. This lady was the wife of a. middle aged lawyer of pood standing, who seemed devotedly attached tr her, and was blind to the many weak nesses of her character, and oblivious of the fact that her bearing in male society was a snhjoct of unfavorable comment in the weil conducted establishment of the estinmblo Mrs. FrcHnghnysen. Mrs. Clavnolc's flirtations werc the talk of the neighborhood, and her bald headed, good natures" husband came in for a goodly share of that pity and compassion which the world has ever in store for per sons apparently unconscious of their own misfortunes. "Poor old Gaypole" was an oft repeated remark; "some one onglit to open his eyes and let Mm knew* the "full iniquity of his wife's misconduct." But none undertook this delicate mis sion, and "poor c?d C?aypo?e" continued to idolize his charming*and fascinating spouse?charming and fascinating not only to him, but to some half dozen other gentlemen who were said, to languish in the sunshine of lier smiles! Mrs. Claypolo. to make matters more piquant and interesting to her felloe' boarders, was not a beautiful woman, as the term goes. She was tall and shapely, However, dressed with becoming taste, and carried herself with a stately grace that never failed to elicit remarks of ad miration. Her features were somewhat irregular and heavy in repose, bnt when sho became ?nterestou in conversation, er. better still, when she was aiming at a conquest, her face lighted up with the ardor of lier thoughts, and her big bine eyes Mashed dangerously from beneath half drooping lid-: fringed with long, dark eye laslics that tried in vain to screen the passionate fire of amorous glances. No: Mrs Claypolo was not a beautiful woman, but she had that subtle power of charming which is more fascinating than beauty and plays the deuce with the vir tuous instincts of mankind. Mr. and Mrs. Claypcle had lived at the Freliughuyssn establishment two months when tht boarders thought it high time to arrive at some conclusion as to the al leged improprieties of her conduct. l!\ot content with the conquest of full grown and bearded men. the fair Alice, who was thirty if she was a year, had re cently shown a liking for the society of young men in their i?sns. Three-or four of these susceptible young fellows danced in constant attendance upon her. They ran lier errands, escorted her to the theatre, took her to supper after the play, and acted spooney generally in the man ner peculiar tc lovesick iads. And, what was most exasperating to the critics of mature ago, Mrs. CLvypoie seemed to enjoy this hoidenisli homage. Sho was soft and soothing, even motherly, in. her demeanor toward her young aa: mirers. She would stroke their checks and pat their heads "lovingly.- call them bravo boys, and sometimes?so Miss Goggles, the arc lent spinster, who occu pied the first floor h.ali bedroom, and was over on the- alert to Spy ont the mor d de ?inquoncies of her neighbors, averred? kis? them trader";.- and" tell then; to be good and 'time and devoted to their mother. "IShe calls herself their mother, the artful wretch," reported Miss Goggles, with a look of horror in lier watery eyes; ' she ought to be horsewhipped!*' x"o wonder Mrs. Frelhigkny sen's hoard ers were srired to the very depths of their honest hearts. Such vagaries on the part of a married woman were reprehensible in the highest 'dcg.ee. They called for an egression of virtnous indignation. Mr. Q&yp?le ought to bo informed of Iiis wife's mor?.i obliquity. Ii was a burning, scau da?cns shame tbat such a nice, high minded, hcooraoleeld gentleman should have the wool palled over his eyes by this wicked woman, and ho a lawyer, tco, with a professional knowledge of tho relief which could be speedily gained in tho di vorce court. Then it wa.: that the boarders came to tho'unanimous decision1 that Mrs. Clay polo was a designing, heartless coquette; that her society should be tabooed, and that peer old Mr. Claypob should receive a broad hint of what was going on, with a view ton promnt disruption of his mari tal lies. Tho convoyai of this hint wan deputed to James liadiey. clerk in a downtown laco store, who had worshiped at the shrine of the fascinating bl onde when she" lirst appeared at tho boarding house, and whoso attentions had he-en suppressed with a scornful derision which still rankled in his virtuous breast, and made h;:n accept the mission with revengeful alacrity. And wl.en Mr. Hadlcy finished his re cital of Mrs. Claypole's.'shortcomings and suspected peccadillos, which ho delivered with many pious sighs and groans about the inconstancy of woman, he was almost petrii?d by "poor old ClaypoleV' en ph--.tie rejoinder: ' VU break zsery o tn vo -r ezrezss!1 j - You confounded blhti" cried the law yer, shaking hi ; '*: ;; in ihid'cy s free; "yon Ece ] r doitt I* 1 hear an therwortt cl t.V.

TL>c boarders are j shocked at your, free arid easy tray?, and j they induced the fellow to enlighten mo i on the subject. I bad half a mind to break his bead." "Oh! is that all?" said Mrs. Claypole, | with a peculiar smile. "Go they think I j am a wicked, reckless ???rt? I admire their penetration. But, under ail circum stances, Henry, it's a splendid reputation. | A llirt has no time for other business, and i or.r afrnirs may flourish without suspicion' wlii?e they think I'm engrossed in the pleasurable occupation cf juggling with hearts. As for Mr. Had?cy, you may leave his punishment to me. I wiR settle him in r. war he will remember for the rest of bis life." "?le deserves something, the mcddlo somo fool," responded Mr. Claypole, in a contemptuous tone. "But what is your plan?* "Wait and sec." w?.s the quiet rejoin der, while those big blue eyes Hashed om inously; "it will be in tub direct Ihm of business." "AM ? understand," said the elderly lawver. "Do you expect au y one this even ing?' "??erman promised to be here about 9 o'clock." "Well, I wiil take a nap and afterwsrd go to the club, so that you may work him alone. Ee is smart as a whip, that lad. and I expect great things of him,'' and with this Mr. Claypole settled himself in tho easy chair, closed his eyes and was soon snoring frcntly in front of tic ?rc. Mrs. Claypole, who was more annoyed by the* incident cf the evening than she was willing to *dmit. took up the evening paper and rapidly scanned its columns. She seemed to be locking for some partic ular item cf news. Presently a paragraph struck her eye which sho read with great interest. "The scheino works well." she mut tered. "No clew? Of course not Trust a woman's wits for that. Sis months more will give us all the rr.ouev we need, and then for the sunn v south, feah! How I detest this horrid climate as well as the hurry-scurrying habits of the people. Everything Is rush and bustle and mono? making Well, let then pile up their wealth, let them repair the ravages cf the lire and build costly temple-.", of trade and commerce. Those who neither weave nor spin will be the gainers in the end. Honest industry is ever opening up ave nues cf idleness and injury for those who have the courage and ability to fellow the only royal road to ease and aGnenec." Mr. Claypole Gnished his nap in about an- hour, and at once went out to spend the evening at his club, leaving Lis wifo alone to entertain the expected visitor. Sho added a few touches to her toilet after the departure cf her husband, and then sat down to the piano and sane; cue or two love songs in a low contralto voico. Tho- music reached the ears of the boarders in the parlor, who by this time had worn the sensational story of Ead iey's reception by Mr. Claypolo thread bare, and were deliberating as to the next step to be taken in exposing the scandal ous doings of the fascinating blend.' "The old fool has gone out as usual'," said one. "She's bxpecting somebody. She always sings those sentimental dit ties when one of those kids is coming." . ""Well," remarked another, an elderly gentleman with a pair of twinkling brown eyes, "I think wo had better allow things to tako their natural course. The flirta tions of married v.xmen bring their cwh. punishment, and I guess old Claypole win finally corne to his senses without any as sistance cn our part.". "But it's so * abominably disgraceful.*! snapped Miss Gogg?es. "1 wouldn't mind so much if she confined her attention to grown men, who ought to .knew better than to encourage her base designs; but to think' 01 her inveigling those boys. Why, it's an outrage against all the recognized maxims of good society." "Never mind that, Miss Goggles," said tho old gentleman, who seemed anxious to restore peace in tho Frellnghnysen es tablishment. "We have, done all we can for tho present. Besides, wo have no evidence that there is anything radically improper. Ail srotty women like to flirt." "Oh! Mr. Johnson," ejaculated the spinster, blushbig feverishly. "Uowcan you say such, a thing?" "It's true. Miss Goggles," said Mr. John son; stoutly.and with a touch of gallantry. "Coquetry'is cue of the prerogatives of the sex; the art is inseparable from female loveliness. Don't attempt to deny it. Miss Goggles; you, of all women, ought to bo the lirst< to recognize this universal truth." The eld fellow, who ^as suspected of matrimonial designs on the antiquated spinster, accompanied this speech with a glance which threw L'iss Goggles into a ilutter cf excitement. Several of the gentlemen tittered at her confusion, but sho was too busy with the tender thoughts Mr. Johnson had suddenly inspired to notice their amusement. "Well, what shall we do. Mr. Johnson?" asked Miss Goggles, as seen as she re gained Lcr composure. 'Nothing," was the laconic response, There v.v.s a tone of disappointment in this query which caused Mr. Johnson to elevate Iiis eyebrows suspiciously. But ho was firm in tho resolution with which he sought to imbue his fellow boarders." "That's jnst it," he rejoined, emphatic ally. "We'll do nothing more, but wait ami" "Watch," chimedin Mr. Hadley. "Vos. sir; wait and watch. You have hit it exactly. I thought yon would realise the wisdom of lids course." Iladley s face flushed, but he had gcihed wisdom'since his interview with "poor eld Clay pale," and deemed it prudent to sav not Lung. Something about the pro.rrammc struck tho hoarders favorably. The lirst stop of active uiterforenco had resulted disas trously The old lawyer was evidently iadi.mrrmt to the fate hin wife so n ek iessly invited "Waiting" and -watch, big" were words full of mystery and ominous import. The programme pre saged keen exaitemcht.

"Aereed." was the unanimous verdict. "uV? wait and watch.M Meanwhile ? o'clock bad arrive :, and with it Mrs. Claypole s expected visitor. L-rom her cosy little sitting-room upstairs came tho rhythmic thumming of the piano a;ul the soft contralto voice staging in deikjhtftil unison, "You'll Semember Me."
