G-arlington and Yonng
Convicted and Sentenced.
John Y. Garlington and James S.
Young-, president and secretary and
treasurer, respectively, of the late
^"rninnlps Securities Comnanw iu
which so many Lexington people were
humbugged, were convicted of breach
of trust in the Richland county court
last week, and the former sentenced
to serve three years in the penitentiary
and the latter one year.
T. A. Whittlo Acquitted.
T. A. Whittle, the Saluda county
white man who escaped from the Lexington
jail on the night of November
I 25 last, together with Thomas J. Craft,
[ was tried and acquitted upon the
charge of forgery in the sessions
court here on Friday. Immediately,
after the verdict of the jury was announced
Whittle was arrested again
I upon a warrant sworn out by Sheriff
| Coney, charging hirn with jail breaking,
one of the most serious crimes
[ known 10 our laws.
Whittle had 110 lawyer and pleaded
his own case. He questioned all comers
to the witness stand in characteristic
style. After all the evidence had
been submitted Whittle addressed the
jury, declaring that he was entirely
innocent of the charge, and asking
the jury to let liim go so that hu could
| continue to work for his wife and
children. The verdict of the jurywas
a general surprise. Judge Watts
himself was very much surprised at
the verdict, as he thought the State
had made out a clear case of forgery.
Whittle states that he will be able
to convince another Lexington jury
that he had nothing to do with breaking
jail; that he knows nothing about
who put the saws in the cell and expects
to be acquitted. On the other
hand. Sheriff Corlev is aroint: to push
the case to the bitter end and is confident
of securing a conviction.
Whittle was released from jail on
Monday on a 31,000 bond, signed by
0. S. Strom and J. P. Buzhardt.
Court Proceedings.
Following the trial of "Coot" lover
on Wednesday came the case of Eiza
Hendrix, a negro, charged with
murder. Hendrix was convicted of
manslaughter with reoommendation
to mercy and received two years on
the cbaingang. Hendrix killed "Will
Martin, another negro, at the home of
"Tilde" Mack, also a negro, in the
Hollow Creek section 011 Jan. 3rd. He
put up the plea of accidental killing,
claiming that the two were tussling
with the gun at the time it "went off."
The State sought 10 show that the
killing, if accidental, was inexcusable
under the law, ?s it was a clear case
of careless handling of fire arms.
Credit for conviction in this case is
largely due to the efforts of Coroner
B. D. Clarke, who conducted the inquest
and who took the position fh;,t
there entbely" a-cidental kiliingt" of
late. Hencirix was represented b}'
Col. E. L. Asbiil, 0'' Leesville.
James Pop well and Martha Barres,
white, were acquitted of the charge
o' adultery. They were represented
oy Hon W. II. Sfcar) e,
Jerry Seals, a neg o, syas tried and
acquitted upon the cuarge of assault
aud battery. He was represented by
County Superintendent of Education
Martin.
Littleton Bynum, an brother of Ed
Bynum, the nerjro who shot Sheriff
Corley several months ago and who is
srrving a ten year sentence in the nenitenti
iry, was tr e:l and convicted of
the charge of assault aDd battery aud
was sentenced to serve two years on
the chaingang or pay a fine of $100.
He will pay the fiue.
Theodore Morgan pleaded guilty to
house breaking and was sentenced to
serve four months on the chaingang.
Garner Barner, a negro, pleaded
guilty to the charge of disposing of
property under lien and was gentenced
to four months on the chaingang or
to pay a fine of ?50.
Elliot Stuart, a negro, was sentenced
to serve two and one-half years on the
chaingang for assault and battery
with intent to kill and carrvinc con
c.--alert weapons.
Wade Watts, white, pleaded guilty
t") the charge of entering the home of
his wife together with John Jacobs,
and received a term of three months
on the chaingang.
Frank Moon and Dove Thompson,
negroes were found guilty of the larceny
of live stock and received two
years each on the chaingang.
In less than four days more than
twenty cases were disposed of, which
breaks the record for this county.
Juge Watts sustained his reputation
for keeping the courts running and is
unquestionably one of the ablest.judges
that has ever adorned the ben:h in
South Carolina.
Solicitor Timmerman is to be congratulated
for his successful efforts
to clear the docket. There is at present
only two cases on the criminal
docket for trial, and they were continued
by consent of all parties.

Prasaatment of Crraud Jury.
To Hon. R. C. Watts, Presiding
Judge:
The Grand Jury was organized with
H. A. Loriek appointed foreman, and
nroneeded to the discharge of its uu
Lies.
We have carefully considered all
bills of indictment given to us, and reported
t he same to the Court with our
findings indorsed upon them.
A special committee of our hody
has visited the County Poor Farm;
ar.d after carefully examining the
premises report the same as being
well and neatly kept with a large supply
of farm produce raised last- year
on hand for the use of the institution
during the present year.
Our attention has been called to the
condition of the fencirg around the
Jail. Tnis matter, we understand,
was reported to the Court by the J&sfc
report of the Grand Jury; and we respectfully
urge this matter upon the
attention of the Count}7 Supervisor
and his board of County Commissioners,
and recommend that the dilapidated
fence in front of the Jail lot be
removed and a substantial new fence
of either wood or wire be built thereon.
We have selected a special committee,
consisting of our foreman, H. A.
Lorick, and Messrs. G. B. Wingard
and J, P. Richardson, to examine fully
the various offices and the fiscal affairs
of our county at such times during
the year as may suit the convenience
of said committee and the public's
interests may demand. And wc
have appointed J. Brooks Wingard,
Esq., as export, to assist 'said committee
in the discharge of its duties.
We thank your Honor and all the
-.ffiff.M r>f tr?(> P.'Mirt fnr tVw> mmVo-dcH
and assistance given us at the present
term of the court.
Itespectf nily submittccT,

Foreman.

was destroyed by lire here tonight and
15 of the 30 mules that were in the
stable at the time perished in the
llames, entailing a loss of ?3,000. It

was earried on them as the
shipment of mules had just been received
from the West.
Tne origin of the lire is unknown.
