News and Courier, Dec. 20.?As reI suits of tone of the most atrocious tli "r deeds ever committed In this county, th Mrs. Sue C. Cannon, about 4 6 years old and a widow, Is tn this city des- R perately wounded, and Mary Gall- an lard, a negro woman, accused by er Mrs. Cannon of attacking her, was, at last reports, surrounded by a posse u< In a swamp In the vicinity of Vance, w< near the scene of the assault, which It Is greatly feared, will terminate in ^ a tragedy. In fact, it is said, the doctors attending Mrs. Cannon hold out little hope of her recovery, so serious are the many wounds she recelved. Mrs. Cannon was brought to Orangeburg last night for surgical , and medical attention, after her phy- j slcian, Dr. W. H. Lawton, of Vance, had taken more than twenty stitches q, In her wounds. She is now at the : home of her daughter, Mrs. W. J. Morgan, wife of the well known ,w' Atlantic Coast T,lne conductor on the at Pregnnll branch. I w CHILDREN SAVE MOTHER'S LIFE, dt The fiendish attack on Mrs. Can- M non, of which Maiy Gaillard is ac- M cused, was made early Thursday 1" mgnt at Mrs. Cannon's home, on her ni plantation at Mllllcan's, a small sta. tlon on the Coast Line, near Vance. ni Mrs. Cannon was nlone at the time, her children, a boy about 11 and a vt girl a little younger, having gone on a visit to neighbors, and returning ^jjUBt in time to witness part of the w ^attack and prevent the assailant applying a match to their mother's M clothes, which she had saturated with kerosene. a Although fearfully injured, Mrs. Cannon has been able to talk about pi the attack, which she declares was made for the purpose of robbery, and during which a sum of money, for . which she hnd sold some cotton, was taken. She asserts postively that y Mary Gaillard was her assailant. It is said that the Gaillard woman has been in the Vance community about two years and bears a bad reputation '1() among both the negroes and white j,, people. I c, The substance of Mrs. Cannon's version of the difficulty in which she _J received what may prove fatal inJuries, is about as follows: Rt VICTIM'S RECITAL. ol She declares that while alone in si her home, about 8 o'clock Thursday ti nieht. Mnrv Onlllnrfl ?amn m I house, but the woman's presence be- J ing objectionable, Mrs. Cannon ordered her away. The woman stated that | she had come to see about a pattern Ii and also spoke abo\?t some sewing she probably wished to have Mrs. i Cannon do for her. I Then, without giving the slightest ('( intimation of her attentions, Mrs. , 8' Cannon says, the woman struck her 111 on the head with a billet of wood, then began slashing her with a razor, h' also striking her with a bottle. Mrs. ' Cannon further declares that her as- ^ sallant grabbed her, telling her that jjshe was going to "break her arm, ^ Jlwhich she proceeded to do by twist- T ing the member until the bone was fractured. n fhfe woman then, says IVJrs. Can-1 1 non, stuck a knife Into her ear and ? twisted It around several times, 1 " causing excruciating pain and inflirting one of the moat serious of her | many wounds. Mrs. Cannon says her 8 clothes were then saturated with i kerosene by the woman, who was f about to apply a match to the oll_ soaked garments of her prostrate vie- d time, when the children arrived, findIng their mother barely able to speak. N The negro woman then ran out or the J back door and. presumably, going s< into the Santee river swamp. , ^ POSSE IN SEARCH. ? The alarm was Immediately given and a posse was soon in search of the J n perpetrator of one of the most brutal ^ deeds ever recorded in Orangeburg ^ county. Sheriff A. M. Salley sent one 1 j, of his deputies from hero to direct j the hunt for the woman, and Rural Policeman Ballard of Elloree, pr.eut i ten miles from the scene of the out- | rage, antt other men from the com- q munity are assisting. 1 ( Tft% latest information from the j sdene of the woman hunt, received j here tonight, is that the fugitive has not y?t uwu cnpiuiru, out it ih ue- ( lleved that she la fn the swamp, which the posse hah surrounded, and j cannot escape. vN It is said that in the searching party are a number of determined tmen and what will follow the cap- 1 ture of Mrs. Cannon's assailant Is t problematical, although it Is possible 1 that the presence of the deputy sheriff will deter the crowd froth tak- 1 ing summary vengeance. 1 |< ?Remember that when thfe stores ! clofe Wednesday night they will not , reenen until Monday morning. < * "7 ^ 5 IKLY.
