Ships man, 65, near Chick Springs, Ship_ man's son_injlaw, W. W. Taylor, 35, id and Shipman's daughter, Mrs. Taylor r- have been taken into custody. Tay_ a lor is in the county jail today and y. his wife the detention home, fr The warrant was sworn * out by i- Buel Shipman, of-Woodside, brother is of the dead man, whp stoutly denied >f .that his brother was ever at any st time guilty of a statutory offense with which Taylor charged him. Buel Shipman told officers that he Sj has learned from a reliable source i_ that threats had been made against n his brother's life previous to the e finding of his lifeless body hanging e to a low cedar tree in the rear of i0 Taylor's home. ' Shiwnan's body was found in that situation early Wedensday morning i_ and it was first appeared that he f. had hanged himself. An official -inl_ vestigation was started, which developed the fact, admitted by both, d that Taylor and his wife had had y trouble with Shipman on the day e preceding the tragedy. Taylor at that ime says that he ordered his n father-in-law to leave his home, where he had been living, and to j leaive the state, and he swore out a warrant for Shipman, charging him j_ with statutory offense. Both Taylor and his wife, however, stoutly deny ^ that they have any knowledge whatls ever as to how Shipman came to his . death. )- J 3. Coroner Vaughn impaneled a jury ie yesterday and started an inquest into the case. After the testimony of [ji Dr. H. L. Brockman of Greer had 3. been taken,' the inquest was suspend ;e ed until next Wednesday morning at which time it is to proceed at 10 11 o'clock iQr Greer. Dr. Brockman [e testified before the coroner's jury v that Shipman came to his death by ill strangulation. However, parts of the ;r man's vital organs have been sent i_ to the state laboratories in Columbia for testing to ascertain if he was poisoned. > V, Officers advance the theory that V Shipman could not have tied the k T"ATU1 +A fVl a AO/IOT ^ Avyv W t/UV WVUUi ViVb mitu JLXV/1H \ which he was hanged, because his ^ left arm was paralyzed and was of y no service to him. They also say that :e other branches were within a very in few inches of the body as it hung "k from the tree and 'that a man in a death struggle would have reached >- out and helped himself by these n means. 2. The case, regarded as nothing unusual at the outset is growing more L interesting to the public, and sevd eral hundred persons viewed the body of Shipman before the coroner it permitted its burial. ie ?1_ 1 d Radiator I Repairing * We Aim tofflease "i YOU tit' We Repair All >s Makes of *, Radiators c- ?.

Bigham, who is in he state penitentiary under death ientence for the murder of his mother, brother and sister and the latter's ,wo adopted children, execution of entence having been stayed by an ippeal to the supreme court, today irgued before Judge S. W. G. Shipp i motion for a new trial for Bigham in the ground that two of the jurors iad made remarks prior to the trial vhich tended to show that they had nade up their minds as to the guilt >f the defendant before they were worn in as jurors. Mr. King also eferred to a statement in the Florince Times that the jury had pre :eded its consideration of the case vith the heading of the 17th chapter if Deuteronomy indicating that the ury had used this particular pasage of the scripture as a guide in irriving at a verdict. Mr. King conended that by this the jury had unlertaken to substitute 'the Mosaic aw for the law provided in such :ases and that it showed bias and prejudice against the accused. For he state P. H.
