NO CLEMENCY
FOE THEAILEILL
Gov. Ansel Yia9 refused clemency to
Morgan Thrailkill, the white man advanced
in life, who killed Benny Burton
at Monetta in April. 1908. Thrailkiil
and his son, Clarence, were convicted.
The latter has served out his
time and was among those who appeared
before Gov. Ansel in making a
petition for the pardon of the elder
Thrailkill.
The petition was indeed a strong
ore and was strongly presented. It is
drawn up in elegant and appealing
munnflr anrJ ic citrnoH manv r?f tho
responsible people of Saluda, Edgefield
and other counties. The plea is
the advanced age of Thraiikili, his
former alleged God-fearing and upright
life, and his conduct as a prisoner.
He is further said to be suffering
from a disease of the kidneys which
will shorten his life and make his services
of little value to the State.
Gov. Ansel indorses on the petition:
' After mature consideratian of the
evidence in this case and the report of
the judge and solicitor the petition for
pardon is refused."
Solicitor Timmerman writes that he
did not try the case, but, after reading
the testimony, "I must decline to recommend
a pardon for petitioner. As
I see it, the jury in this case could
have done nothing less than convict
the defendant. I have failed to discover
the slightest necessity which
the petitioner and his son, who was
convicted along with him for man
slaughter, brought about."
Judge R. C. Watts, who presided at j
the trial, writes Gov. Ansel: "Thede-!
fendant wTas convicted before me at
Saluda, S. C., of murder with arecommendation
to mercy cf the court, and
was sentenced to life imprisonment in
the State penitentiary. The verdict
of the jury in my opinion was proper
and if any mistake was made in it,
they were too merciful. . . . From
what developed on the trial, I can not
recommend a pardon."?The State,
8 th.
Z?rs. Shuler Acquitted.
In the court of general sessions at
Orangeburg on Thursday the case of
Mrs. Fannie C. Shuler, charged with
the murder of her husband, Frank C.
Shuler, near Elloree, about two months
ago, was entered into. It was thought
that this case would consume considerable
time, but it ended rather abruptly.
It developed from the testimony
of the State's witness that Shuler had
expressed the wish and the hope, that
his wife would not be punished, as he
did not believe she really intended to
kill him. When this fact was fully
established, the stated rested its case,
and the defense asked for an acquittal,
which was ordered by the court, they
rendering the verdict of not guilty
without leaving their seats. The result
seems to be in harmony with public
sentiment, and the verdict is generally
approved.

President Greets Tillman.
Washington, May 8.?President Taft
tonight was entertained at a banquet
tendered hi.ii by the citiz uis of Washington
under the auspices of the board
of trade and the chamber of commerce,
More than 800 representative business
men of the national capital were present
and an array of prominent men in
public life were present as guests.
While the president was being introduced,
Senator Tillman strode into
the h?ll tnwnrrl thp nrflairipnt1, THp
latter greeted him and grasped hand
cordially, remarking: "Hello, senator,
what are you trying to pass yourself
off for tonight?" Tillman laughingly
rejoined: "Oh, I just drifted in
here to see how you would behave
yourself among the common people."
This merry interchange provoked
much amusement among the guests.
President Taft made a 30-minute
speech, during which he declared that
he wa3 strongly in favor of retaining
the municipal i'orm of government for
the District of Columbia, but that he
had not reached any conclusion as to
what he would recommend to congress
about the real point of contenti.m,
I whether there shall be a governor or
three commissioners as at present.
The president declared himself unalterably
opposed to the plan for suffrage
in the district. When the president
lett- the hotel he iuvi ed Mr. Tr man
to join him in the W?n' H" use
auiomobile ai d th e pre? dent took the
South Carolina senator to u.e 's
j home.
