said that while he kniew the humilia tion he had undergone was punish ment for him, he still should be pun ished and punished severely, but h( would- take into consideration hi plea in this ease. Judge Prince referred Farnum' failure to testify at the former tria] saying that his silence indicated hi determination not to .commit perjury "In this instance," said the judge "you have come up like a man an< admitted your guilt. These matter .appeal to the court and besides yoi are not a State officer; you are a pri vate citizen and did not have the re sponsibility that rested on these gen tlemen who -had to discharge dutie devolving upon them by law in th conduct of the State dispensary These things all appeal to me to b lenient and I am going to be reason :ably lenienit, but not so lenient a. your counsel would like me to be; tean not see it just as they would se it, possibly, but I am going to take ii consideration your plea. The sentene is that you be fined $5,000 or be con fed at hard labor on the publi works of Richland .county or in th State penitentiary for a period oi one year.'" Sentence Amended. When the jifdge had- finished Mr Bhagood said that the defendan would immediately pay his fine. "In that case," said Juidge Prince "I 'will amend the sentence befor it is entered." . Mr. Hagood then turned over a cer tiflate of deposit from the People'! National bank of Charleston, fo: $5,000. It was dated yesterday. Other Cases Dropped. The next step was to submit a order, which had already been type written, diseharging Farnum and hi sureties from farther liability in th remaining three eases against Far num. This order sets forth that thesi -eases are nol prossed by consent o the -attorney general. The order fol lows: State of South Carolina, County o Richla.d: In the court of genera sessions. The State vs. James S. Farnum bribery. The State vs. James S. Farnum, e al., conspiracy (two eases). ,The attorney g>naral having statei that it is his intention to nol pro the remaining indictments pending i this court against James S. Farnun and also having stated -th'at it is ii intention to not T ros, so far sas th defendant, James S. Farnum, is corn *cerned, those cases pending in thi eourt - wherein the defendant Jame S. Farnum is indicted with others fo conspiracy. No.w, on motion of B. A. Hagood attorney for James S. Farnum, it i .rdered, That the said James S.

Farnum is herebi allowed to go hence without day. Geo. E. Prinee, -Presiding Judge. January 5, 1910. Noti a State's Witness. * The agreement under which th< cases against Farnum are to be -no prossed applies to all cases in whiel he is a defe'ndeant, both those in Rieh land and in Chester, for bribery an' conspiracy. In the other eases pend .ing against State' dispensary official F.arnum cannot be made to testify however, as he has constitutic~aal im munity on the ground ,that his testi money might tend to ineriminate him It is understood that F:irnum ha positively refused to testifyv agains hais former friends, just as he refus ed to take the stand and perjure him self by denying that he had givet 'bribes or rebates. His pleas of guil ty, however, is a 'omplete adnissio1 of the allegations of corruptior <brought against the State dispensara system. The Expedient Course. Attorney General Lyon said today that in view of the~ failure of thie jury to convict Farnum, on the evi dence presented, he had considered i best to accept the plea of guilty an soeure Farn.um's punishmnent in thi! way' in order that the law might ti some extenit, at least, be vindicated Other DiapeDsary Oases.
