JONES GETS SHORT RESPITE. L
Judge Sease Stays Execution of Sen- S
tence-Hearing Saturday. V
Union, May 12.-Attorneys for W. f,
T. Jones, convicted of the murder of g
his wife and sentenced to life impris- c
onment, yesterday went before Judge!t
T. S. Sease and secured an order c
granting a stay of the execution of q
the sentence.
The remittitur from the State su
preme court, which had confirmed
the verdict and sentence of the court
of general sessions for this county,
was received by Clerk of Court Peake
yesterday morning. That officer
proceeded to make a certified copy of
the verdict and sentence of the cir
cuit court, which would have been
sent to the penitentiary authorities,
today, and an officer would have been
sent from the penitentiary to convey
Jones to that institution. This is the
regular and orderly procedure in such
cases. s
The order of Judge Sease stays this,
however, until Saturday next, at least,
at which time the attorneys will ap
pear before the judge for a hearing.
The affidavits upon which the. order
is based have not been filed, and their:.
nature or by whom they are made is
not known. The order recites, how
s
ever, that affidavits have been sub
anitted to the effect that there was
misconduct on the part of jurors who
tried the case, and further, that
claim is made that there is after dis
covered evidence, which maay effect
the merits of the case.
It was understood yesterday that'
attorneys for Jones intended making
further efforts to prevent his going
to the' penitentiary, but it was not
known just what was being done un
til the order of Judge Sease was filed
this morning.

The State.
Spartanburg, May 14.-Judge T. S.
Sease this morning revoked his order
of May 1L. -which was to the effect
that execution of the sentence of life:
imprisonment against W. T. Jones of C
Union county, convicted of wife mur
-der, be restrained until a hearing
could be had -by the court of a pe
tition for a new trial. The matter I
now stands as it was before Judge C
Sease issued his order of May 11.
The order was revoked principally
on the ground that Judge Sease, as*"
solicitor, had been the prosecuting at-*
torney for the State against Jones.
Ju'dge Sease this morning turned
/ hlis order over to George Johnstone
and Jas. Munro, attorneys for W. T.
Jones. Messrs. Johnstone and Munro.
had brought the deputy clerk, Grady
Allee1 of UTnion ounty, along with ~
them, and as soon as Judge Sease
asked if he would send the order to
the clerk of court of Union county, ~
someone said "here is the .deputy
clerk, he will take charge of it." The
deputy clerk took the petition and
-placed it in his pocket.
- Though he had the court's permis
s.ion, when a reporter asked to be al
lowed to make a copy of the paper, he
was discourteously refused the priv
ilege by Mr. 1Li. iro.
Shortly after the hearing Jones'
attorneys and the deputy clerk of Un-'
ion county put out across country in
an automobile. It was reported that
they were going to take a near cut
to another judge.
Unless Jones' attorneys get another
-judge to issue an order or some -newt
I:motion is made before the supreme
.court meets Monday, Jones will have
to begin at once upon his sentence of
life imprisonment,

ig of six privat'es by two negro broth
rs named Potter. Major Mauldin de
lined to make any statement regard-;
ag the result of the investigation.
The shooting. of the soliers greatly
tirred the garrison at Fort Fremont,

eing maintained day and night. Some'
,f the comrades of the wounded sol

Ives of the Potter negroes. However.;
here has not been the slightest mani
estation of race feeling in this coni
aunity.

Isaiah Pottor is in jail, but efforts
o capture Will Pottor, who is charg
d with being the principal in the at
ack upon the soldiers Monday night,
n which four privates were shot
rom ambush, have been in vain. He
g believed to be concealed in one of

It. Helena Island. For some time, it
a stated, there has been an elementi
.mong the Fort - Fremont soldiers
rhich has been fraternizing with thei
egroes, especially the Potter broth,-i
rs and this is generally attributed as
b.e cause of the clash.
Condition Still Serious.
The post surgeon announced to
ight that the condition of Privates

~he other four men were peppered
iith small shot and their condition
ras never considered serious.
