the Press and Banner, ABBEVILLE, S. C. K Wednesday, Feb. 22,1882. Tliro.it Cut. r Yesterday afternoon between three and four o'clock, :i colored youth came to town in great haste for a physician to go to the relief of his father William D.mglass, whose throat he said had jnst been cut by Mr. T. 1'. Milford. When asking the cause of the deed, he said that his father and Mr. Milford had gotten into a dillicit Ity about a fence, when Mr. Millford cut him. He left his father on the ground where he had bled profusely, hut 1k' did not know whether he was dead or not. Dr. McBride went immediately lo see William Douglass, who is a tenant of Mr. (J. A. Yisanska on his! farm some six miles in the country, ami between sundown and dark, a messenger came from Dr MclSride asking Dr. Parker to come to his assistance, as the man was very seriously hurt. TIIK WOl'NDKl) NAN PKAD. I)r. McBride returned ln>t nizht. and from Itiin we learn the following particulars: Will m Douglass was stabbed in the rinht side of the neck, the blade running inward in front of the spinal vertebra^ severing an artery. Another deep cut was in the hack, slightly to the right of the spinal collimn, at the upper end of the right kidney. Another cut was in the rear of the tipper part of the arm. I'J'he difficulty was ahout some rails. The cutting occurred ahout half-pa?t two o'clock. i)r. McRride arrived at the wounded man ahout a quartet past four o'clock. Tvlien the patient had "ceased to bleed, though in ad.vingcondition. After some muscular exertion to raise himself up. blood spurted Strom the wound in the neck, and he was dead in a few minutes thereafter ut tive oclock. After the arrival of Dr. McRride the 'patient was delirious a greater portion of the time. He made no reference to thedifficulty. Another Failure. As will be seen by the advertisement of Mr. R. S. Barnwell. a-ssinjrnee, the firm of Norwood Brothers, nur"chauts at Abbeville have made an assignment of their goods. The liabilities are estimated tit about SSOui), the stock of goods at $2,500, and the nominal value of accounts at between $7,000 and $8,000?the actual value of the accounts will be a figure much loss than the nominal value. Messrs. A. J. Salinas <fc Son, of Charleston are preferred creditors to the amount of about $(>.001). Mrs. Norwood being security for the amount due to the preferred creditors, and she being fully able to respond, this firm will lose nothing. Outsideof lite debt to Messrs. A. J. Salinas fc Son, the Messrs. Norwood are not involved for more than $2,000. If they had been able to collect their accounts, they would have been in good condition, but when custodiers fail to pay their merchants failure is inevitable. The Messrs. Norwood are believed to have acted squarely and fairly in their matter", and it was only their inability to collect I hat caused tliem to taKe me >uys which they have taken. Cheap Vaccination. We learn that tliere is a stranger in this county going from house tohotise, vaccinating our people from virus, which he claims was taken from the udder of the cow, charging 25 cents for the same. We have so often warned our people against peripetetic persons who go to their homes making personal application for the sale of their wares, that we presume it is unnecesnary to say anything in this instance. It would certainly be either a very con-J fid op person or one not realizing, the risk, who consent to he vaccinated by a stranger of whom nothing is known. T'le Kershaw Gazette.

After the runt was paid, which was two hales of cotton, weight 400 pounds each, and the fertilizers paid for which I furnished, I then got half of the remaining crop. I had also furnished enough provisions to cover her half of the crop, and plowed the crop with my wages hand and self. He said 't was not in mv possession. It was in mv li. Id.

[Cincinnati Enquirer 1] New Yokk, Febuary 10, 1882? None of the hundreds of tables on the veranda of the hotel at Manhattan ; Reach had gayer occupants that July afternoon than the one at which Walter Malley sat with Blanche Douglass and James Malley with Jennie Cramer. They were paired in the manner here indicated, as the most careless spectator must have seen, and they had (he manner of lovers in earnest, though at the time they were devoted! wholly to fun. Wine bottles were before them, empty and being emptied, and the remnants of a good dinner. The Mai leys were brisk fellows of twenty-three and twenty-four, fashionably dressed, and bearing themselves like slightly exhilarated gentleman. The girls were both under twenty. Blanche Douglass was small, slight; with a bright but not pretty face, j quieter man euner oi ner compnuious in manner, yet showing a constraint which conveyed the idea tlint she could have been livelier than they iT she would. Jennie Cramer was a beautiful girl, her face being regular and delicate in its features, with wideopen black eyes to give it animation, and white regular teeth to make hsr smile bewitching. She was less ladylike in look and act than Blanche; j palpably more honest and free in her I manner; agirl who would be unlike-' ly to take pains to seem better than j she was, so long as her own conscience, was clear. The orchestra was playing in its; funnel-like stand, facing the hotel;! the surf was rolling in on the beach | with a lond swash-swash; there wasj a hubbub of talk among the eaters and j drinkers, and the Malleys and their girls did not get the attention which their hilarity would have excited in a| place of less general commotion. The mart who gives me this recollection of! the party says that, after their dinner, they went into the big bath-house, | and soon emerged in the blue llannel) suits which bathers hire of the estab-i iishment. Joining the throng in the! water, they disported merrily for an! hour or so. lie remembers sitting on j tne sand and watching theni during: the wholetime?not that their conduct j was greatly different from others, or j paaticularly interesting in any way, but because Jennie was the prettiest girl he had seen that day, and he louud it a diversion to gaze at her frisky j sport. Polite usage permits men (o handle women rather freely in the: surf, and il may have been that James! HfftllrttttmiL/n'on mnru nffontivn juuiicj uasvtvii tuwi v u?i\ ??* tv ?.w wv , iiie than custom sanctioned; but it I was her beauty and jollity that \vere! notable, and even these were not sr> far' out of the common that the observer! might not have'forgotton them, if lie' had not happened to know who andj what Blanche Douglass was. Noj house in all the infamous biock in j West Thirty-first street is more noto-, lious thau Lizzie Bundy's, and] Blanche was an inmate. After their batli the two couples had ! a final bottle of wine before takinga train for the city. It was dark when they were through. As they rose from the table and started away, my in-4 forniantcame accidentally tace to face with Blanche. "Hello!" he said, carelessly. "Hush!" she whispered; "don't give me away." "But don't these fellows know you?" "Oh, yes," with a sly wink, "but the girl doesn't." Abouta month after Jennie Cramer was in the surf at Manhattan Beach, alive with youthful health and spirits, she was again in theedgeof the ocean, with no life at all in her fair body. This was at West Haven, a seashore resort near New Haven, Conn. Although she was lying in the water! when found, her death had not been caused by drowning, but by poisoning. Arsenic had first killed her, and then she had been thrown into the surf. Whether a case of suicide or murder, it is certain that from the time of her! visit to New Yo"rk she was relentlessly pursued by James Malley to her ruin j and death. A judicial trial is soon to determine whether lie is to be banged [ for it. This mystery of Jennie Cramer's I death has given so mucd space in the newspapers that most readers have missed or forgotten the plain facts. Jennie was the daughter of a small tobacco :md cigar dealer in New Ilaven. She had been in delicate health fori years, and that was one reesou why: her parents petted and humored her. j She was at odd times a clerk in the store. She went to school when she!1 pleased, and became accustomed toad-j, miration, so that on nearing her twen- , tieth birthday she was a you Jig woman ] of somewhat wilful ways. But the unrestraint of her rearing had not in ! the least hurt her reputation for chastity. Half of New ilaven knew her 1 for a self-reliant, good humored and unconventional beauty ; but of the many young men who were suitors, more or less sincere, not one was cred- J ited with any advance in her affections, or with winning anything more than proper favors. She went to balls j j and picnics with them, she let tliem 11 buy her refresh met) Is, and she gavejj them her jolly companionship; but it j was only groundless surmise that said ; 1 she was more kindly than purity per- ( milted. True, she did not go into the ? society of the rich, for she was poor; J nor of the highly cultured, for she t lacked nicety of refinement; but in her ? own reputable class she was a belle. J James Malley was the nephew of the wealthiest dry goods merchant in New Haven, and Walter Malley was 1 that mercantile magnate's son. The consuls \H-I C UI1W1I ii.ii jju 11 ini in, ncc spenders of money, :uid had especial popularity among tiie roysterersof the town. They did not enjoy the respect < of the people, and that they did not respect themselves is sufficiently indicated by the fact that Walter's afl'ec- j tions were firmly placed on the New I York harlot, Blanche Douglass. James fell in love with Jennie Cramer. Jle railed on her at home, i took her out riding, and, while she j was visiting in this city, put her un- , suspectingly into association with ' Blanche Douglass as we have already I,, seen. These tour went to theatres to- i gether, and for several days were com- ' pauionablc. For Jennie it was a lark ?no more; and how dangerous she i probably did not comprehend. 1 Here are the points established by | the official investigation after Jennie < Cramer's death: Blanche Douglass!' ifikoti to Xi>\v 1 t;ivi*ii l>v lVnltf.i l ??* - - v ? "v " | Malley on Suiusay, the 31st of last j July, t^he got n room at the Elliott \ Mouse, where her character was uu-j known; Jennie Cramer visited her then*, ami (hiring the ensuing days) thegirls were taken out by the ^'1 alleys for rides and suppers. On Wednesday James invited tneni to spend the evening at the residence of his cousin, , Walter, whose parents were away. Blanche readily consented, hut Jennie ' declined at tirst, but allowed herself to j be persuaded, though stipulating tliut she should l>e escortc-d home at id o'clock. This was promised. The iwo couples hud supper in tlie Elliots House, nud then walked to the Malley/ residence, where they drank wineJennie was not taken home at 10/ o'clock, but spent the night in this* iUrms of James Malley. That Blanche | was Walter's consort was comparatively of no consequence. Next morning the girls breakfasted"' at a restaurant. Jennie said she dared ' 'not go home, because her parent* knew she had gone out to spend the,' evening with Janus Malley, and she ' could not explain .her absence for the night without a confession. Blanche-* suggested the lie Ihut they had slept ' together in the Elliott House, and went home with her to tell it to the mother, who was found prostrated by a sleepless night of forebodings. Mrs. Cramer had been suspicious of Blanche, and now feared the worst. She upbraided her daughter and wept . over her. f Jennie went out'with' Blanche after ' this stormy interview and never re- ' turned. Mrs. Cramer went to the . Malloys' store in the afternoon and ac- * cuseci james or -wnat ne nan aone. Tlie fellow replied that Jennie had been in the company of Blanche, who,'/ he declared, was "a perfect lady." The mother asked him where Jounie * had gonef and he replied that he did not know, but that he had engaged to take her to the shore that' evening;"' He promised to bring her home safely, and that was the poor satisfaction that ' the anxious mother obtained. Blanche Douglass swore positively ' that she parted from Jennie about noou on that Thursday, and never met her again. The Malley boys declared 011 oath that they did not see her at all that day, but spent the evening at home. Their neriurv in irivinar such testimony is established T>y a "dozen disinterested witnesses. /A woman living across the way from ' the Elliott House testified thut she, Jennie and Blanclie were together iu tiie window of the latter's room as late as 2 o'clock in theafternoon. This witness, as Well as two hackmen, sa\^ Blanche and Walter ride away from"; the hotel together at 3, While James ' stood on the sidewalk. Between 3 and i o'clock Jennie was by four separate". persons seen in a street car on her way to West Haven beach, which was a hot-weather resort. Seven pereonar recognized her in the grounds 0ar|y in'the evening. Biie was then with the, two Malleys and Blanche, riding in< * carousal, viewing a hand-ball game, and walking about the place. None of these witnesses had the remotest * doubt of her identity, as they all knew, her b.v sight, and some of them were', equally sure that the two j-oung men Were the Mulleys. She was latest seen at about nine o'clock. In the morning her dead body was discov?rJ cd. So much for the bare evidence.'-* Here is a theory consistent with ail the evidence, and supported by most of it, as well as by other and quite as ' direct information! James Malley* courted Jennie Cramer with a pretence '" of honesty and won her love. She held out against his evil intent. He, .* called in theaiJ of Blanche Douglass, through his cousin Walter, and she ' played the part of a respectable girl to ' the complete deception of Jennie, yet still without accomplishing the seduct tion. Then the vi*it to the Malley' residence was villainously planned, Jennie wrfs made drur.k with wine, ill which condition she was persuaded. In the morning, Blanche professed to have had an experience like tlwfc; : which had befallen Jennie, and tlius concealed the despicable part she had played?a part into which she was infiuenced l>y her lover lor Walter.,, AfJ . ter Jennie had been' arraiguod by her mother, and threatened ts she was, with expulsion from home, she was buoyed up by one hope, and that, w#Vof marriage to James Malley. He had * . previously asked her to become his wife, and she had assented, though tho "... engagement had. been kept a secret at? / his request. She made up her mind that her only alternatives were honorable matrimony or death. Fixed firmly in this resolution she obtained 11 ' a quantity of arsenic, intending to re-, mind her lover of his promise when she met him at the shore in the evening, and then, in ewe he proved re- ? errant, commtt suicide on the spott When the four got together, Jennie > asked James what he meant to do. "I will provide for you,?? he is ' thought to have said. "Hut you promised to marry me," , . she may well have replied. > * ."That was before last night.- Yoii can't expect me to keep that prortiise ' how. You shall be my mistress?that i is all I have to ofler." Blanche had previously expressed , lnttiguaiion lojennie, out now bui-iwki hot a word lo say t-> her own supposed ' wrong. That su'rn'rJfjJSd. Jennie, amf she said so. A laugh was tlw responso.. She was cooly (old of hergirl company i ion's true status. The shock was a final and crushing one. She realized that no reparation was to be expected, from a lover capable of such black duplicity. She said no more about u i marriage. Despair silenced her. , "Come," is the remark attributed to , James, "let's all have a drink together to settle the matter, now that we understand oaeanother.'' ; They could not quaff wine, as they , hid done at Manhatten Head), and the night before in the Malley House, , for West Haven is Democratic, and. , beer is the best beverage sold. A buN tender of a saloon close to the beach > testified that a man, who, he believes, , was James Malley, came to the door. r and ordered four glasses of beer, saying that ladies were outside to drink it. . The glasses were returned empty. Thus far my theory lias depended scarcely at all on conjecture. Now, it . is more a certainty than a guess that. . Jennie Cramer put her arsenic into the . beer which she drank. I do not believe she was murdered, except in the same that h<fr lover's villainy brought; her to a choicc of death rather than a disgraced life. No adequate motiveform urder is apparent. Jumes Malleyi .. had acted deliberately, and it is not to be supposed that, because he had ac last done what he meaut to do, he. would think it worth while to endanger his neck by killing his victim. Doubtless he supposed she would drop unresistingly to the social level of Blanche Douglass. If he had meant to murder her, surely he would not. have met hefln a public place to do it/ If poor Jennie poisoned herself, as I maintain she did, her death frightened her companions, and, in their alarnt. they did the first tiling that occurredto them in the way of concealing their share in her deadly wrong. They threw her body into the water, sup-* posi g that her death would be attrib-f uted to drowning, and so it was untif an analasis demonstrated the presence of the poison. Then Blanche hastily returned to New York and the Maileys told their bungling lie of not hav ti.v t-uon Tonnio cinoc\ f h<> flnv hAfnrp-. # But James is indicted as a murderer md Walter and Blanche as accessories. I earnestly hope, after ail that they may be proved guilty of these charges. Druandal. Sheriffs Sale.
