THREATENS LIVES OF OFFICERS
Court of General Sessions Adjourns
Sine Die Amid a Dramatic Incident. ]
Jeter Swore He Would Not Go to 1
Jail, But He Went Anyhow.
R. D. Haltiwanger. 1
The court of general sessions for
Lexington county, January term, came
to a close on Thursday morning, when
Judge Frank B. Gary sentenced Jacob
B. Jeter, convicted of assault and
battery with intent to kill, to the State
penitentiarv for a periop of two years- ,
Richard Harley, a white man, was ^
acquitted of the charge of seooting ]
into bis wife's house, after a tria' ]
lasting less than two hour9. Harley
was represented by attorney E. L. ,
Asbill.
There was more business transacted
at this term of court than ever before
known in the history of the county
for so short a period. It is understood
that the fines received will about pay ]
the expenses of the court, besides six 1
prisoners have been sent to the chaingang.
1
Jacob B. Jeter, the Swansea white
- . . l
man who was convicted of assault | '
and batter}*, was this sentenced to J 1
serve a term of two years at hard 1
labor in the State penitentiary by {
Judge Frank B. Gary, without the
alternative of paying a fine and without
the alternative of serving his
sentence on the public works of Lex- 1
ington county. 1
Before sentence was passed Col. J.
Brooks Wingard asked the court to
make the sentence in the alternative ?
and be as reasonable as possible, so
that the defendant might be able to
raise the fine. Judge Gary stated
that he had given the case careful con
sideration, and, while he was not inclined
to be hard on the defendant,
he felt that society should be protected.
In passing sentence Judge Gary said
that it was his information that Jeter
was the first man to receive executive
/Iav V1 noon nv%/3 that '
^lDUlvuuj iiviu uui auu tuav
he had not taken advantage of the
clemency extended him by the chief
magistrate. He felt that society shonld
be protected, he said, and that Jeter's
wife who had stood by her husband
during the trial with such remarkable
zeal, would be protected.
Jeter has given the Lexington officers
much trouble since his release
from the pentientiary nearly two
years ago. Last night he swore that
he would not be locked up in the
county jail and made an attack on
Sheriff kSim J. Miller. Jeter had a
pint bottle containing whiskey in hi9
rvrtnVof oriH tuViPT1 RKorifF Villa* nrarif
to search him Jeter protested, and at
tempted to strike the officer with the
bottle, at the same time grabbing the
sheriff by the collar. Sheriff Miller
drew his pistol and wrenched himself
free. . .
Sheriff Miller lost no time in carrying
Jeter to the penitentiary and
j left with the man as soon as the
j proper crders were passed, Jeter is
said to have made a threat against the
Isfe of Solicitor George Bell Timmermau.
During the speech of the solic!
itor yesterday afternoon Sheriff Miller
sat near the prisoner, and kept his
bailiffs nearby in anticipation of any
attempt by Jeter to carry out his ali
leged threat.
This is Jeter's second term in the
penitentiary, he having served about
eight years of a life sentence for murder,
for having killed a man on the
streets of Union some years ago.
Soon after his release from the
penitentiary Jeter visited hi9 mother
and sister at Swansea and is alleged
to have stolen a great many articles
from their home. The articles were
afterwards recovered by P. II. Corley,
then sheriff of this county, and a warrant
was issued for Jeter's arrest.
I After remaining in jail for a few day-, \
|- upon the signing of an agreement that
I he would never again visit his rela- |
tives' home, and upon the further
promise I hat he would not go back in j
the vicinity of Swansea, his relatives
agreed not prosecute the case.
In its presentment yesterday the
grand jury attached the agreement
to its report, authorizing the solicitor
to push the prosecution against Jeter
on the charge of larceny from his
mothfv :v:d sister, in that Jeter had
violate^ his signed pledge.
At the onclusion of the Jeter case
Judge Gary ordered the adjournment
of court for the term. With Judge
Gary presiding more cases have been
tried and desposed of during the three
days this week than has ever been
disposed of in a two wt^ks tvrm before.
Judge Frank B. Claiy, of Abbeville,
who was commissioned to hold the
court, in the absence of the regular
judge who would have held the court,
i
made a most favorable impres>ion u I
n the members of the bar, aDd a1 I
^it-h whom he cam*4 in contact, and it
is generally hoped that he will be disengaged
cn the firs'- Monday in Februiry
and that he will be sent back to
Lexington to hold the court of common J
Dleas.
What Not to Talk About.
Two of the changes in manners
arhich most impress Senator Lodge,
le tells in Scribner's Magazine, are
:he modern freedom to discuss money
md physical ailments. It used to be j
?+01 Vr ohnni t ho onah r?f nno'a 1
VUlgCfcl t VJ I'CAIXX OWVU V 4 v-w w
;hings or one's neighbor's things. It
ised to be deemed offensive to disjnss
digestive derangement, but we
iave changed all that: I now hpar
surgical operations, physical func:ions,
disease and its remedy freely
discussed at dinner and on all other
occasions by the ingenious youth of
Doth sexes.'' He does not undertake
;o decide which is the better fashon, 1
3ut if Emerson were here he would 1
not hesitate "Do not poison the (
