WALHALLA, S. C.:
WEDNESDAY, MAY ll, 101?.
. HIE EE DER A IJ ROUND-UP."
With this issue Tho Courier begins
Ino publication of a most interesting
Bton "Uncle Sam's War on the
Yeggs" sections Of which, illustrat
ed, will appear each week tor some
limo to cobie. Wo are at prosont in
position to announce the appearance
of the following sections ol' this in
teresting story, which is local in
much of its bearing, tin- famous gang
of "yeggs" with whom the tale deals
having operated in the Southern
StatCB, and in our own State, over a
lengthy period before they were
"rounded up" by Ibo sleuths ol' tho
Fed? ral government and landed be
hind the more or loss strong prison
bars. The titles of tho stories for
th?' first six weeks are as follows:
May ll (to-day)-The first cap
ture of McCarthy. lt will be re
called that McCarthy turned State's
evidence and was brought to Wal
halla, testifying in the case tried in
Oro nco. out of which convictions
were had for the robbery of the
Courtenay Manufacturing Company's
safe tit Newry.
May lil "Philadelphia .Johnny"
(that Is McCarthy) turns his atten
tion to the hanks in small cities and
towns, but is betrayed by a former
pal.
May 28-James Johnson, alias
"Fortland Ned," tho brains of the
yogg world east of the Mississippi.
Adding additional spice to this chap
ter is the fact that Tort land Ned"
was but recently paroled from the
South Carolina penitentiary, slipping
out of tile Governor's private ofllce
and eluding the Federal authorities
just as a United States marshal hoped
to nab him on a warrant under tile
general government. Since his es
cape a safe has been cracked not far
distant from our capital city, lu such
manner an to indicate that an expert
at the business was on thc- job, and
no little speculation has arisen as to
the possibility of "Portland Ned's"
dropping from penal servitude into
his old business of "making soup,"
or, In other words, extracting nitro
glycerine from dynamite, then blow
ing safes.
Juno 4-The story of forty yeggs
who started out to "clean up" every
State south of the Mason and Dixon
line. Three hundred robberies and
upward of a dozen murders resulted
from this "raid in Dixie."
June I 1 "The Yeggman's Ma
ven." This brings to tho story ano
ther decidedly local thrill, dealing
with the notorious "cribs" in the city
of Charleston, where the crooks ren
dezvoused in time of trouble, and
through which their loot in the Bhape
ot "stickers" (stamps) and jewelry
was transformed into cash.
.lune IS Tqni Leo's New York
"clearing house" for the yeggs, por
traying bis wonderful system that not
only involved the nether-world, but
hundreds of ofllce boys and clerks in
rei m t a hie establishments.
Those six stories promise much
thal carries with it a streak Of local
history In the "wilds of yeggdom" in
this State In the but recent past.
While they read like fiction, each
story is based on fact and is but the
connected recounting of the round
ing oj) of the notorious band of rob
bers ?bat infested this section bul a
few short years ago.
The Courier bas .secured this ser
vice ai considerable expense, and we
feel sure that it will furnish inter
esting reading to our subscribers.
There is no fiction In lt, and therein
lies the great wonder of tho thing
that in this day and lime a few ban
dits could so successfully terrorize a
whole section of the country and so
long evade the inevitable conse
quent ? a.
Watch for "Uncle Sam's War on
tin- s. < i.M s" each week, and if you are
no! already a subscriber for The Cou
rier . ibscrlbe now and get the whole
story.
55. ?, EVANS DISRARRED.
An event in which the general pub
Its bas felt no small degree of inter
est, was til . liealing, before thc Su
preme Court of 3outh Carolina, of
the proceedings against Barnard B.
Evans, an attorney, who has been for
years prominent In Carolina i>olitlcs.
The hearing endod last Friday, the
result being Mr. Evans's disbarment
until such time as he may show to
the Court that he has mended his
ways and raised himself to such
standard as to merit the confidence
of the Courts of the State.
The resume of tho Supreme Court's
findings in tho matters before that
foody are worthy of reproduction In
order that they may serve as a warn
ing to the young men of the State
who are prone to "tarry long at tho
wine oap," reckless of tho almost In
evitable result.
Wo quote from tho Court's lengthy
opinion tho following pertinent re
marks:
"? * . This plain narrative shows
that tho respondent) Barnard B.
bevans, in two instances appropriated
trust funds to his own use, and failed
to restore them, though repeated de
mands wore made upon him; that
he, without Justification, publicly as
sorted that other citizens were guilty
in sped th- Instances Of larceny and
arson; that In tho trial before this
Court he has presented nu re pretexts
as excuse? for Iiis conduct, and that
on almost every materia! issue of
fact ho has been contradicted by
other witnesses. The childishness ui
the pretexts and excuses offered in
dicates olmossion ol moral perception
and a lack of capacity io estimate
moral values. In addition to this, a
number ol' persons in Columbia and
Saluda have testified to respondent's
had reputation for honesty, while the
witnesses who testified in his favor
on the issue of character admitted
that they bad bearii unfavorable as
well as favorable expressions of opin
ion.
"How diti it happen that the re
spondent foll to this low ?slate'.' Ile
bad the advantages of a rearing gen
tle and refined; he has been encom
passed from bis birth with devoted
affection; he had a brother ready to
come to his relief; he has had all his
lift? th?* stimulus of dose.'tit from
families on both sides distinguished
and esteemed, in the past and now,
for manly virtues and public ser
vices. The Court is of the opinion
that the reason for his fall may be
found mainly In the fact that the re
spondent is an inebriate. All mon
know that the poisons of alcohol have
made liars of the truthful, knaves of
the honest, and tratitors of tho faith
ful. Under its influence tho respond
ent has, ia mind and morals, stag
gered along the devious path that
leads to the abyss. lt ls true that
he is now just as unworthy and in
competent to perform the duties of
an attorney as if his offences were
duo entirely to inherent wickedness,
and he will romain so until tte
changes lils habits and reforms his
character. Therefore, the Court can
not permit him to exercise the rights
of an attorney, or to resume them at
any time In the future, until it has
had satisfying evidence of redemp
tion of habits and character.
"But there is a difference In de
gree between the debasement of the
criminal who plans his crime with
deliberation and that o. tho weak
wrong-doer whose character has been
wrecked by drunkenness. The prob
ability of reform is also much greater
in the latter than in the former case.
"A license from this Court, to prac
tice law Isa declaration by the Court
that lt has satisfied itself, by careful
inquiry and examination, that the
licensee is a person of such attain
ments and character that he may be
trusted by the public * * * The
evidence In this case shows that B. B.
hJvans was guilty of the wrongs
charged against him, and that he ls
at this time unfit to bo entrusted
with the Issues of life, liberty and
property Incident to the practice of
law.
"The Court ls of the opinion, how
ever, that, the respondent should be
allowed tho opportunity to reform,
and be reinstated upon proof that he
has ceased to use intoxicating li
quors and has redeemed his life in
oilier respeots. It is. therefore, the
judgment ol' the Court that Barnard
B. Evans be Indefinitely suspended
anti forbidden to exercise the rights
anti tin ties of an attorney in tho
Courts of this s .ate or elsewhere un
der the I leen 8'' of this Court-with
the privilege, however, to move be
fore tills Court for reinstatement, af
ter the expiration of two years, upon
satisfactory proof that he has not for
two years Immediately preceding Iiis
application used intoxicating liquors,
and that lie lias reformed his charac
ter."
The "Imposition Kdition" of the
Greenville Daily Xews of last Sun
day (80) pages) did credit to the
paper from whose olllco it was issued
and also to tho wide-awake city in
which The News makes its home.
Greenville and tho Greenville News
are a credit to each other, and the
"Imposition" edition shows tho push
and enterprise of both.
