A newspaper dispatch from Wash agton is to the effect that John G. apers, Esq., has filed an important rief in the case of G. Wash Hunter, onvicted ,of manslaughter on an in ictment charging him with murder a the killing of Ebert F. Copeland in 906, and sentenced to eight years' mnprisonment in the State peniten ary. This is one of the hardest-fought ases in the criminal annals of South arolina. According to the version f the killing given at the trial Cope nd and Wash Hunter, the defend nt, were engaged in a poker game a the store of R. Lee Hunter, near roldville, in company with R. Lee funter, a twin brother of the defend nt, and Ross Leake, a friend of all he parties. A dispute arose as to e number of cards held by Copeland, ringing on the difficulty which re ulted in the killing. -Copeland had . leg which was practically uselessi nd used crutches, but the testimony ras to the effect that he was a pow rful man in aill respects except that f his maimed leg. The testimony of e defence was to the effect that in e difficulty Copeland, bracing him elf with an arm on the table, and olding Hunter in the breast was at empting to cut him with a pocket nife, when Hunter fired the four hots which resulted in Copeland's eath. The deceased was a brother of lessrs. E. B. and 0. 0. Copeland, of Mis city. The case came on for tr,l at the ll term of the sessio'ns -ourt for ,aurens in 1906. before the late udge James Aldrich. A verdict of uilty of ,manslaughter was returned, ut a new trial was grPnt-4 by Judge ,ldrich on the grounf of i-regulari es in the management of the jury fter it had been charged with the onsideration of the case. The first ral was during the firrt w?'k of the o weeks' term of court. a-4 Judge .ldrich ordered anoth-ir trial during ie second week of tOe court. The Dcond trial resulted in a mistrial. At the next term of the court the ase was continued by Judge Purdy, rho was then presiding, on account of ie fact that Hon. Coate. L. Blease, of unsel for the defence, was engaged his official duties in the legislature s a member of the State senate from ewberry county. Judge Watts was presiding at the immer term of the sessions court, ad the case was again ordered to ial, and another mistrial resulted. At the next ternm of the court Judge ret Gary presided, and another -ial was had, which was the fourth -ial of the celebrated case, and after eeping the jury out until it was seen iat an agreement was impossible, rother mistrial was ordered. The State then moved for a change 'venue, and after thorough argu Lent and the presentation of a num er of affidavits, Judge Gary transfer d the case to Gren'vood county for 'ial. The defence appeated, but adge Gary was sustained, and the mittitur 'came down just in time for te next term of the court at Green ood, and Hunter was placed on trial the sessions court of Greenwood unty before Judge Geo. W. Gage id a jury, and was convicted of man aughter and sentenced to serve ght years in the State penitentiary. al was granted and 'bond given and te case was appealed to the supreme >urt of South Carolina, which af r'med the judgment of the circuit mr. On a writ of error granted by blef Justice Y. J. Pope, the case was Len taken to the supreme court of te United States, where it is now mding, and will soon be argued. In all his trials in the circuit courts unter was represented iby Hon. Cole. Blease and Mr. W. R. Richey, of aurens. In the Laurens courts the. ~ate was represented by Sdlicitor R. Cooper and Messrs. Ferguson & eatherstonle. At Greenwood the State had the as stance of Mr. F. Barren Grier, of the reenwood bar. Since the case has en in the United States supreme urt the attorneys for the defence tve been assisted by Mr. John G. apers, formerly of South Carolina, it now of Washington. The press dispatch from Washing in states that Mr. Capers in his brief akes the point that the record does t disclose that a true bill was re red against Hunter. Hunter was ed four times in Laurens on a true 1 returned by the grand jury of Lat county, and the venue was then ianged to Greenwood. The matter certifying to the indictment for blication in the record was the duty the clerk of court of Greenwood munty, who at that time was Mr. T. Turner, and his certification of the ietment anpears in the record, of mrse, but it would seem from the >int raised by Mr. Caners in his brief!

In accordance with the action of, the chamber of commerce endorsing 4 the proposition to have a banquet on December 20, the entertainment com mittee held a meeting on Monday evening, and after considering pro- 4 positions from several sources, decid ed to accept the proposition made by the ladies of the Methodist church.

The tickets will be limited to two to each member until each mem ber has been given the privilege of J the two tickets, and in the event all ( of the members do not desire to at tend, or to secure two tickets, other members who may want more than 4 two tickets may be given the privilege 4 of securing them. The banquet will be served in the dining rooms of the Crotwell hotel and the capacity Is limited, therefore, the tickets will be 4 limited, but It is desired that every member be given the privilege of at tending.

Case On the Docket Will Require Full Week for Trial-Several Tm icrtant Cases. The general sessions court which will convene in Newberry on Monday, Judge Jdhn S.

It is contend d that the record as made up is the only record which the supreme court f the United States can regard, and it would seem that this failure of the! lerk, if there was sur'h failure as in icated by the dispatch in regard to~ he brief of Attorney capers will present a serious ques ion. There are, however, other ques ions raised under provisions of the Federal constitution as to the right of a circuit judge to change the venue, ad other matters involving the Fed: ral constitution.
