' 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. The
able has been there three years
nd was brought from the asylum,

'ears there have been more visitors
han at any time prior to that.
The directors occupy rooms there
rhen here and so do visitors free.

vinters but there is only one
ntry of any payment, f 240 The
oal is furnished the governor at

lono for six years.
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

The penitentiary also furnished
Colonel Noal with a horse free,
rhich is customary. There was i

An outside suggestion is that

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. C)

Rural mail delivery is a new
ting in South Carolina, but a
art has been make and the relit
will be watched with inirest.
This territory is under the
large of Mr. Fred E. Bach,
hich includes the country from
le Savannah river to the Delaare
river, and the expenses of
ic work are directly from a
lecial appropriation of congress.
lr. Bach works in connection
ith the congressmen, and if all
io plans are succesful the new
alivery will he a great advantage.
; is alteady extensively used in
le East.
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.
The progress of the work is
eing watched with interest hv
