Tho dispatches bout out from Colum bia lato Saturday afternoon announcing thc killing of ('apt. J. J. Griffin in the room of Major 1). 13. Kv an s gavo a sui priso and shook to all. lt was moro stir prise at tho occurrence of au event that might bo oxpected at any timo than at its possibility. These who have known Mr. Kvans personally, or have watched ovon casually Iiis carcor for tho past few years, will liavo no reason for surprise boyond that commonly experienced when tho expected happens. There were no eye-witnesses to this lamentable tragedy, and whether Kvans Hied the fatal shot, or, as he claims, Griffin put an ond to his own lifo, may never be known. Tho testimony brought out at tho coroner's inquest looks decidedly in favor of the theory that Grifllu mot (loath at tho hands of Kvans. Mad Kvans been himself-in other words, had ho been sober-wo do not behove the tragedy would have taken place. His greatest weakness is his fondness for whiskey, and when under its influence ho is not himself. Kvans sober is a gentleman; Kvans drunk ls-anything oise. What ho was before ho entered polities we do not profess to know. For several years ho has dabbled freely in polities and moro freely in whiskey. Naturally tal ented, ho has thrown away many oppor tunities that another would have eagerly grasped. His family connection and in tinonee are such that, had ho seen Ht to make a proper use of them, his I ut ure would have been blight. He has been constantly '"dropping the substance and grasping at Shadows." The uso and abuse of whiskey has put him behind tho bars. He has placed himself in the position of a "horrible example" for the young men of the Slate. Let us hope that many who are traveling lb?' same road Evans has traveled will draw a los son from his experience and change their course. There aro those holding posi lions of honor ami trust in the Slate gov ernment who may profit by Kvans' down fall. The final outcome ot this tragedy will bo awaited with interest by the whole state, 'flu! two most damning inlhienees at work in the country - whis key and tho ever-ready pistol-have as Usual figured prominently in the adair lt would ho well for every mau lo give careful thought to the danger he runs in tampering with whiskey; it would be well for him to consider the fuel thal lie who, as a privat** citizen, habitually car ries a pistol is a coward-if not physi cally, then morally.

Capt. c?iiliu and Major Kvans woro in tho latter's room and had evidently boon drinking togothor. Tho first known of tho tragedy was when Major Evans rushed out of lils room and wont to tele phone for a physician. Mooting ouo on tho street ho carried him lo tho room. Thoro on tito lloor lay Capt. Griffin broathing bis last, with a -M-calibro pis tol bullet, fired from Major livens' pistol, in his left breast. Tho physician, Dr. Gibbes, informed Major Evans that tho wound was mortal, mid tho latter turned upon him in a frenzy. Tho physician attributes his escaping to his coolness. Ho went to tho street and sonta police man to tho room. Thoro it was found that Major Kvans had lookod himsolf in, and it was only after friendly persuasion that ho oponed tho door and submitted to arrest. Capt. Griffin died about tho timo tho police gained ad m i tl ance to tho room. Tho appearance of tho room indicated a struggle, tho dead man's face being bruised, and thoro was blood upon his stick. Tho shot was fired front Major Kvans' pistol, but Kvans claims that Griffin killed himsolf. Major Kvans re fused to talk after being taken to jail. Ho is a brother of former O o vernor John Cary Kvans, and his family is ono of tho most prominent in youth Carolina. Tho arrest of Major Kvans subsequently cre ated a pronounced sensation. Tho two meit woro alono and occu pants of adjoining apartments woro at dinner. Major Kvans summoned a physician, saying that a mau was hurt in his rooms. Dr. lt. W. Gibbes found Capt.

Dr. Gibbes suWmotiod police and they were refused admittance until .Judge' Kniest Gary, a cousin of Kvans, arrived j and demanded admittance and submis sion to tito ollieers. Kvans s'ruek Judge Gary and was taken to jail in a state of hysteria, having declared that Griffin had taken his own lifo. TU H Y HAI) UK KN IMUNKtNO. In tho room wero evidences of tho fact that ono or both of tho men had been drinking Aside from this thoro is no reason why G ri flin should have killed himself or that Kvans should have shot him. The dead man's face was bruised oil hot h sides and t here was an abrasion of the skin on the bridge of tho nose. His walking cane, clotted with blood, was several foot from whore blinni marks indicated that the fatal shot had taken effect. Tito right forearm of the dead man showed powder burns, but none were visible in the neighborhood of tho wound. These circumstances would Boom damaging to the theory of self destruction.
