FIVE YEARS O'N CHAINGANG. Pope B. Havird Found Guilty by Sa luda Jury-Scathing Lecture Read. Saluda, March 2.-Pope B. Havird was found guilty on the charge of as sault and battery of a high and ag gravated ,nature this morning and was sentenced to five years on the county chaingang without any alternative of U fine. In passing sentence Judge Sease delivered such a lecture as has never been heard in the court room at Sa luda. It was calmly done and the im pression made will be lasting. Havird, who was convicted on the charge of trying to ride down and of otherwise maltreating Miss Carrie Mitchell, a young woman school teach er of his community some 30 days ago because she had whipped one of his children in school, was told that he might be sure his sons would sooner or- later find him out and that the heavy hand of the law would arrest him in his wayward career. "I do not believe," said Judge Sease, "that all is good in any man nor do I believe that all is bad in any man. Many, however, succeed in exalting the good and suppressing the bad. Some allow the bad to predominate. Influenced by Passion. "The testimony in this case shows that you allowed your passions to be aroused, that you took your shotgun and your wife in your buggy and en deavored to ride down this young lady because she had corrected one of your children in school. Other matters which have come out in this court room show that you have been accustomed to try to take the law into your own hands, and to wreak vengeance upon those whom you thought had wronged you. In pass ing sentence I shall have to pass one whose punishment will be commen surate with the charge. ,I can not make the sentence a light one. It must be severe. You have had as fair and as 'impartial a trial as could be given any man. It is a notable fact that out of the 20-odd juro'rs sworn in this case only one said he had formed an opinion of your guilt." Judge Sease stated that while he would not suspend any part of the sentence the hope was held out to Mr. Havird that there would probably be a chance for him at some time to be paroled by the governor, stating that he thought such a provision in the law a wise one as it would give a man an opportunity to reform and to make a better citizen. "I shall en deavor to do what I can," said Judge S'ease, "to assist you in making a bet ter citizen.'' This was said in con nection with the idea of an eventual parole at the 'hands of the governor. Barrett Jones, who defended Hay ird, was highly complimented by Judge Sease for the manner in which he had -conducted the case. 'The motion for a new trial vwas overruled. Notice of intention to ap peal was given and bail was allowed in the sum of $2,000. Bond has not yet been made. Court adjourned sine die today. No Chanbe of Venue. Failing to obtain a change of venue and the motion of defendlant's counsel for a continuance of the case beyond this term of the court being over ifuled, the trial was begun yesterday afternoon and when- the court ad journed last night practically all the testimony was in. Havird, it will be recalled, as pub lis'hed in the daily press at the time, was arrested the latter part of Jan uary past charged with overtaking Miss Carrie Mitehell, the young lady school teacher in the community, and endeavoring to drive his mule over her and cursing her because the Hav ird children reported that Miss Mitch ell had whipped one of them that aft ernoon. True Bill. Monday when the grand jury re turned a true bill the attorney for the defendant gave notice of a motion for a change of venue on the ground that Havird could not obtain a fair and impartial trial in Saluda county. Un der the ruling of the court the defense was allowed until Wednesday morn ing to make their showing. When court convened yesterday morning there was a packed court room and throughout the day every available space was occupied. There was no semblance or evidence of any ani mosity against the defendant and the sea of faces exhibited nothing beyond a curious interest in the proceedings. Patiently Judge Sease allowed the ex amination of witness after witness by the attorney for the defendant and of the more than three dozen sworn only one beside the defendant himself, would say a fair trial could not be hadi. All the rest were positive a fair trial could be had. When the morning session had ben~ taken up with the examination of wit nesses on this issue Judge Sease promptly ref!used the motion. TTh r .:e deCfense was for vond thi term. This was disallowed. Miss Mitchell on Stand. Miss Mitchell was the first witness for the State. She told of whipping the Havird boy and of how the de fendant with his wife tried to drive his mule over her as she was on her way home after school and how, al though she jumped out of the road the mule was reined in the direction she went, and how the animal's head struck her after she had gotten out of the road. She likewise related how Mrs. Havird abused her and struck hbr with a stick and told of Havird's ordering her to stop as he dashed up saying, "I have you now." Miss Mitchell's statement was cor roborated practically in detail by Miss Etheredge, a bright 15-year-old girl, who was along, and also by Willie Harmon. Struck the Girl. The defendant's wife admitted that they had a gun in the buggy. She admitted she struck Miss Mitchell. Both the defendant and his wife de nied that they tried to drive over Miss Mitchell. Havird's wife denied that her husband cursed any and the de fendant himself at first denied it, but finally admitted that the Harmon boys' version of what he said was about cor rect. Miss Mitchell is quite young and is an orphan. Both her parents died when she was very small. She at tended school at Leesville where she graduated last year. She made an ex tremely good witness. ITALIAN PRINCESS MURDERED. Cavalry Officer Stabs Victim, Then Shoots Himself, But Not Fa tally. Rome, March 2.-Pr.incess Di Tri gona, a lady-in-waiting to Queen Hel ena, niece of Marquis Di Sangiuliano, the Italian minister of foreign affairs, and cousin of Prince Di Scalea, secre tary of State in the foreign office, was murdered today, in a small hotel in this city, by Lieut. Baron Paterno, a cavalry officer, who then shot himself. Paterno was still alive when the room occupied by the couple was entered by hotel employees, but the Princess was found lying on a bed, dead. She hiad been stabed in the neck andi death wn almost instantaneous. Pr-incess Di Trigona was one of the most beautiful ladies-in-waiting to the queen, and her tragic end has eaused a tremendous sensation. She was at the court ball on Monday and attract ed more than ordinary attention as well as general admiration. She had had a disagreement with her husband, which deeply grieved the queen. Her majesty used every influence to re concile the couple, but without suc cess. Together in Room. Baron Paterno, who had been in close attendance upon the princess for some time past, engaged a room in a small hotel this morning. Soon he was joined by Princess Trigona and they remained together until the af ternoon. A waiter, passing through the hall, heard a pistol shot, followed by groans. An attempt was made to break in the door, but this proved too strong to be forcea, and employees entered the room by a window. The princess, half dressed, lay on the bed, in a pool of blood. A dagger had severed the blood vessels in the neck and she had bled to death. Pat erno was outstretched on the floor. There was a bullet wound in his best, made in an evident attempt to commit suicide,. but 'he was still alive and was' quickly removed to other quarters. Blackmail Reveals Scandal. The princess had been summoned to appear before the court today. in separation proceedings brougat by her husband. Both she and Paterno were Sicilians. Last summer the princess was at Saint Moritz with her two daughters, who are seven and fourteen years old, when s:he received a letter from Paterno explaining that his debts prevented him from joining her. Shte was touched by the letter and sent him a check, which he turned over to one of his creditors. The cred itor, it is said, instead of cashing the check used it for blackmail purposes against Prince Di Trigona, thus re vealing the scandal. It seems that the princess intended the meeting today to be the parting with her lover. When Queen Helena was told of the tragedy she fainted. REFUSES TO SURRENDER .TO BLEA.SE'S APPOINTEE W.
