' Columbia, S. C., March 22.? * The penitentiary investigation ^ : committee resumed its session to- a I day and tho first witness was S. n I * I P. .1. Garris, member of the board ^ of penitentiary directors, who ? V asked that he he permitted to tes- 0 tifv on a question of personal a privilege. * The report circulated the past \ few days that he had received a;t car load of bricks from the peni-jc tentiary was erroneous, he said. \] Tho car consisted of brick hats f which had been rejected. Ho t tried to sell them hut coidd not t on account of their theij worth- y lessnesu. t When questioned about tho 1 management of the State farm, * Mr. Garris agroed, as the re- C ports showed, that during 1898 a oats had been sold, bringing $4,- v 595.70. The published receipts e showed that $1,499.05 had been c 1 turned in as cash and there was u owing on oats $902.29, thus leav- p ing a balance of $2,033.70 not d accounted for. When this had been developed Mr. Patton paid a f tribute to the board by these \ queries: o "Did you ever take occasion as r a member of that board to ex h amine into what be? an e of that y $5,000 or $9,000, worth of oats a that wero sold and see whether |, the penitentiary charged itself n with them and whether it had p, been received in cash or if not f, whether notes or other evidences j of the indebtedness were properly sot out as assets in making the e reports as cash?". rt j "Did vou ever make anv ?iwb J examination?" c 4'Well, no sir, myself I did t< not" answered Mr. (Jarris. v "Did you ever know any other 2 member of th? hoard to make any ? auch examination?" y "Of course the board looked c over the books." c "I)o you appreciate now what e appears to ho a very grave discrepancy in that matter since your u attention has been called to it.?" "Yes sir " C "And you had never suspected v\ that or discovered it before?" a "Well, no sir." ti "But don't you think it was (] your duty as one who had been ii charged by the State with *he a supervision of that large institu^ T tion to have so posted yourself o so that such a discrepancy, if f< there is net one so you could N have explained how it was?" si Mr. Boggs objected to this 1 question, Mr. Pat ton insisted. f? Chairman Stevenson over ruled g * j ' the objection and Mr. Garris o answered: e "1 have never been educated at V a book keeper?never had any u education much in that line. w . i . .. . 11 depended entirely upon the reporte U inue, oui neither Mr. Stevenson or myself aro book keepers, and think you understand now. But never went into such a close inestigation as you all have. I iiok it as we had a book keeper nd superintendent. 1 had the j tmost confidence in their keepag it straight and I never s??s ected such a thing. Now I am nly one of tho board you know, f that is an error 1 had never iscovered it." Capt. E. II. Westtield, former aptain of the guard, was the nly witness examined in the afterioon. His business, he stated, vah to carry out orders. Ho said here was a pool tabie at tho penientiary to offer inducements for he guards to remain there.

Coal and wood were always ree for Superintendent Neal since Vestiield has been captain of the uards. The superintendent has eceived wood and coal free at lis home during the past three ears: The superintendent has i lso gotten his lard, korosene, j ams, sugar, soup, vegetables, ! lilk and butter from the peni- ^ entiarv, and there is no credit or them,and the book shows that hoy have not been paid for. Convict labor has been furnish-j d free at the governor's mansion, nd also at Colonel Neal's house. | Captain Westtield said it was ustoinary for the superintendent o get free his wood and coal and j ogetables, milk and butter. The, atting of other provisions has j nly started in the last three j ears. He charged them on his I ommissary books, but the ac | ount for hams, korosono, sugar, , to . does not seein to have been ransferrod to the penitentiary! ccounts. The penitentiary also furnished Colonel Noal with a horse free, rhich is customary.

Captain \Testfield says he charged them p but does not know if they 'ere ever paid for. He seemed > think not. An outside suggestion is that Ellerbe exchanged some of his hams for those at the penitentiary. Some outsiders got coal at cost, Captain WoRttield said. A FIENDISH PARENT. T Man Charged With Murdering Five of His Little Children. Hutchinson, Kas., March 20.? A crime was re sealed here today when the coroner and his assistants removed the dead bodies of the five little children from the house occupied by John Moore, which st burned at an early hour. A coroner's jury investigated the case and, in accordance with the jury's c' returns, the father was arrested w on a charge of murder. The " tragedy has caused much excite w ment here, and there is some talk ^ of lynching the prisoner. sl When the firemen and noigh- ^ bors reached the burning house w the father was the only member I" of the family of seven found out-, ' side. His actions were queer and ^ he would not talk. While tho ^ building was still burning and his : 1 1 ? *1 uuimrfii were wiu)in lue burning 6) walls, he took a horse from his ri stable and rodo away. ai When the tiremen entered the a1 house, after having partly quench- al ed the Humes, they found the five is children iyiug side by side in a ft bed on the floor, all dead, but not badly burned. The skull of each fl child was deeply indented, and h from the dents long fractures ex- ai tended. All but one of the children had been stabbed in the tl neck. The 3 year old boy had 0 bocn slashed so deep that the spinal column hail been soverod. (j Upon these facts and the strange 0 behavior of the father theauthori- || ties base their charge of murder.

This territory is under the large of Mr. Fred E.

It haa been determined to >tablish about twenty of these iral deliveries in South Carolina, ad Mr. Bach has been steadily t work for some time. Six have Iready been established and he i at present at work on a route om Bamberg. The routes cover about twentyve miles each and will ultimatej do away with the star routes nd fouth class postofflces. The system is very much like 3at used in the city, the planter r dweller in the country having is mail delivered at his door aily or at the longest every ther day. If a man does not ve directly on the route, the irrier leaves his mail at the nearst house, thus saving him posblv sending several miles for the ia.il. For his services the carrier ets $400 a year and furnishes is own horse. The stations established from hich routes leavo are Orangeurg, C< rpes, Elloree, St. (ieores. Sinoakes and V? ??*> rangebui g one route goes, the irrier delivering mail daily, rom the other posts two routes o, the carrier taking them aljrnatelv every other day. The two new routes now being stablished at Bamberg go to lolston and to Ilartzog. It does wav with two star routes and nine fouth class postoffiees.
