Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO R I A CONVICTED MURDERER INSANE? So Prison Phpsiclnn Declares ?ii Xe? gro I'i uler Death Sentence. Columbia. June 2.--Willie Be thune, who ls under sentence of death, and who has been al the State penitentiary for more than a year for safekeeping, is an insane man. ac cording to au affidavit tiled with the Supreme Court from Dr. F. W. P. Duller, the physician at tho prison. The Supreme Court bas signed an order staying the remittltur of Be thune and allowing ten days for bis attorneys to Jilo an amended petition for a rehearing of the case. Willie Bethune, a negro, was con victed ol' the murder of O. D. Minis, in Clarendon county, lu l'JOt). De was found guilty of murder in the Hist degree and sentenced to death. Later the case was appealed to the Supreme Court, and the decision of thc Clarendon county court was af firmed in a decision. Shortly after the crime was committed Bethune was brought to the State Peniten tiary for safekeeping, where he has since been, willi the exception of the few days for the trial. (?. D. Minis, a well known planter ol' Clarendon county, was killed by Pet linne when he found the negro driving bis horse. The horse, hitch ed to a buggy, ran away from the bonie ol' Mr. Minis. Ile went to look for the animal. He found that Be thune had caught the horse and had been driving two girls about the country roads. When the two met a light ensued, with the result that Mr. Minis was mortally wounded, after a pistol duel in the public high way. In his affidavit Dr. Duller states that Bethune first developed melan cholia, and later Insanity. Ile says that the negro takes little interest in j anything, and that be tries to destroy everything that he sees and wants to burn up everything. Dr. Butler is of the opinion that Bethune is au insane man. Should the Supreme Court decide to grant a rehearing of the case, lt ls very probable that Bethune will be sent to the State Hospital for the Insane, thereby escaping the death sentence imposed upon bini.
