SEVEN COUNTIES VOTE !
FOR THE DISPENSARY
OTHER FOUR (iO AGAINST THE
SALE OF LIQUOR.
Orangeburg, Barnwell, Florence,
Dorchester, Calhoun, and Jasper
Wet
I
Columbia, Aug. 19.?Of 11 South
Carolina counties which yesterday |
held elections to determine whether
liquor should be legally sold within
their borders, seven voted for , the
county dispensary system and four
elected to remain "dry." In two instances
the vote was so close that
the official tabulation will be necessary
certainly to establish the result.;
In nearly all the others the margin j
of victory was very small. On the
lace of the returns Florence and Jasper
have retained the dispensary system,
while Bamberg, Barnwell, Dorchester,
Calhoun, and Orangeburg
have voted to return to the sale of
liquor by the county. Abbeville, Lexington,
Williamsburg and Sumter
voted to remain in. the dry ranks.
Of the counties which went dry Abbeville
was the only one giving a deoiriori
mainritv the anti-disuensary!
forces in that county piling up a majority
of 55S against the sale of liquor,
in the other counties which went dry
the vote was very close. Lexington
leading in this respect with a majority
of four against he sale of liquor,
"Williamsburg with 14 and Sumter with
12 olsa seemed almost evenly divided, j
Of the wet counties Earn well, with j
604 majority, and Dorchester, with j
33", were the rr>ost decided, and Or-j
angebuig with a majority of three for
the dispensary was the most evenly
divided. The majorities for the disnpnsarv
in other counties were: Bam
berg 180, Calhoun 82, Florence 61
and Jasper 38.
If official returns bear out the unofficial
figures, South Carolina will
have 11 dispensary counties, as follows:
Charleston, Richland, Florence,
Georgetown, Beaufort, Aiken, Dorchester,
Calhoun, Jasper, Barnwell
and Orangeburg.

ERNEST MULWEE ELECTROCUTED
iNefirro Who Slew Oconee Man Makes
Statement
Columbia, August 18.?"I didn't
mean to kill him. He cussed me and
I picked up a stick and hit him over
the head, just one lick, but it killed
him.'" This statement was made this
morning by Ernest Mulwee, a negro,
as he sat strapped in the electric
chair, at the State penitentiary awaiting
electrocution for the murder of
Sam Hyde, a white man, of Oconee
county. Mulwee made a brief statement,
telling of the trouble that led
up to the killing of Hyde, explaining
that he bore him no malice and expressing
the belief that he had re
ceived divine forgiveness for the
deed.
Tne current was thrown on at 11.20
and rushed hurtling through his body
for one minute and one second. Dr. j
R. T. Jennings, prison physician, then
made an examination, which showed

tion, and again the current was turn- !
ed on. This time it was applied for 1
twenty seconds, and another exami-1
nation showed that death had resulted.
Dr. Jennings pronounced the nev
gro dead at 11.24. Of all those who
havo vot hppri plprtrnnited (there
have been 13) Mulwee showed per-1
haps the greatest calmness and met!
his tragic end with fortitude.
Brought into the death chamber at'
11.15, Mulwee was immediately strap-'
ped in the chair. He surveyed the
twenty-one witnesses who were present
with apparent interest.

Thaw Will he Arresteu * He Has Not
Left the Country.
Poughkeepsie, X. Y., August 16.?If
Harry K. Thaw has not le::'t the coun- \
try he will be arrested or a warrant
charging him with conspiracy and returned
to the Matteawan State Hospital
for the criminal inss.ne. Action
with this end in view was taken in a
special term of the supreme court
here this afternoon, when Justice Jo
sepn Morscnauzer issuea a warrant
for the arrest of Thaw, charging him
with conspiracy with Kee;?er Howard
Barnum and five other men in making
his escape from Matteawan.
Similar warrants were also issued
for Richard J. Butler, Roger Thompson,
Michael O'Keefe, Eugene Duffy
and Thomas Flood, Thaw's, alleged accomplices.
Keeper Barnuir., the guard,
who opened the hospital gate when
Thaw escaped, has been held without (
bail for examination Thursday.
Justice Mcrscnauzer issued tne war-;.
rants for Thaw and his five alleged |.
accomplices after taking the evidence |
of several witnesses this afternoon. j.
District Attorney Conger claims con- ;,
spiracy is an extraditable charge and
that Thaw can be brought back to
Dutchess county, no matter to what
State he has fled.

House at Fishkill Landing, where the '
five strangers stopped, verified! the *
five names taken from the hotel re-1,
gister. He said the five spent',
much of their time in the hotel bar i'
room and talked freely. According
to Gordon, when the men were asked j
about their business, one of them re- j
plied:
"I am in the water business; I 1
get the water out of Sheepshead Bay," j '*
Afterawrd the same man said to por- i '<

"The men left the hotel together in j 1

don continued. "They paid their bills j
and one man asked another in the t
parlor if he thought they could be i
back before night. The other man re- i
plied that 'they ought tofmake it all!
right.'" h
Robrt Lowrey, another witness, told 1 (
of the approach of the five men to j
the hospital. "I iwas working in my j \
barn Sunday morning," he said, "when ' j
I heard a car stop on the road from ^
Matteawan to Fishkill village. It
was a large touring car witn two men <
in it. One man got out ancl walked up : |
th ehill to a point where it was possi
ble to see the rear gate o.r the hospi- ,
t-al. He came down and went back ,
and climbed the hill a third time, each
time reporting to his companions. At
that time I went into "he house and
heard a car coming down the hill and 1
some one was yelling. Then I came!
out and saw the same man jump into 1
the car. I saw the tail of the other j
car passing the corner and I saw this j
man jump into the car that had been
standing there. This car soon followed
the other. There were three men in ;
the rear seat of the car that came j
down the hill antf one man in the front j
seat driving."
Yatch Sailed East.
iXew Haven, Conn, August 18.?Inquiries
were made all along the Connecticut
shore today regarding the j
craft on which Thaw was supposed to !
have made his escape. The suspected j
yacht steamed westward toward ,
South Xorwalk yesterday morning!
and about 11 o'clock last night was |
again seen going eastward.
Prosecuting officers :in a number of
Connecticut courts s?.y that they
would not hesitate tc order Thaw's
arrest if he was known to De in tneir :
jurisdiction. He could be held as an [
escaped insane prisoner and this j
wouM bring him before a probate
judge.
Captive is Tluiw.
Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug. 19.?
Harry K. Thaw, cut short in his flight
from the State hospital for the criminal
insane at. Matteawan, X. Y? by
arrest today at the village of St. Hermengilde
de Graford, just over the international
line from New Hampshire,'
prepared in a cell in the county jail !
here tonight to fight against being
sent back to the United States. Thaw
faces deportation on the ground that
he is undesirable alien and extradi- j
t;on on a warrant charging him with
bribery.
The warrant already issued in New
i
York State on a charge of conspiracy
will not suffice to extradite him, in the !
opinion of local authorities. These
authorities received word tonight that
the district attorney of Duchess county
in which Matteawan is located, was
on his w&y here prepared to swear to
a warrant charging Thaw with bribery?an
extraditable offense?if necessary.
On His "Way.
* In his own defense Thaw claims he
was merely passing through Canada
on his way to Detroit when his passage
was interrupted by his arrest. He
exhibited what he claimed to be transportation
to Detroit in support of this
claim, and cited the case of Jack
Johnson to bear out his contention
that he can not be sent back to the
United Slates by Canadian authorities
so lone, as he simply was passing
through the country and intends to go
beyond i;s boriers.
Distric: Attornev Conger of Duchess

wants Thaw ordered Reported anj returned
to the United States over that
part of the international line touched
by the State of New York. Thaw came
into the Dominion from New Hampshire,
however, and if custom is followed,
ne would go back to New
Hampshire.
The Canadian immigration department
to Ottewa wired the chief of
police here this afternoon to hold
Thaw under the immigration ' act, indicating
that steps would be taken
to deport him. This theory was made
almost a certainty by the information
that the department had sent two
inspectors to Sherbrooke with instructions
to watch the case and institute
proceedings to deport Thaw.
At Coaticock, where he was lodged |
in the lockup immediately after iis
arrest, Thaw engaged a local lawyer.'
He was arraigned before Mr. Dupuis,
justice cf the peace. The justice read
to him an indictment charging him
ft'ith having unlawfully escaped from
Matteawan and without permitting a
plea remanded him to jail at Sherbrooke
for a hearing tomorrow.
Two With Him.
Two men were arrested with Thaw
jut liberated later at (JoaticocK. iney
ire believed to be confederates wrro
aided. Thaw in his escape. The two
men refused to give their names or
say notaing about themselves. They
followed Thaw here from Coaticook
md remained in town.
W. L. Shurtleff, the Coaticook lawyer
retained by Thav?, denounced the
rearing before Justice Dupuis as
jntair ana saia ne wouia appiy
:omorrow for a writ of habeas corpus
.for Thaw prior to the hearing before
:he extradition commissioners. Should
;he writ be refused, Mr. Sheriff said
ie would seek an appeal.
There is every indication that Thaw
ntends to wage a bitter fight against
3Xtradilion, deportation or both.
From his cell in the county jail
;onight he sent out to the newspaper
nen a statement under'this caption,
typewritten In capitals.
"No one has contended that for two
rears, nearly, that Thaw has been in
the Toinbs he has been insane. There
is no evidence of delusion in the
slightest degree on his part. Is it
anything crazy to take a pistol to defend
yourself against a man who calls
you a?* and threatens to kill
you before morning?"
The statement itself was a printed
synopsis of District Attorney Jerome's
?or rmrnnrteri to be SUCh?tO J
DV/* ^ v* ? ? ? ?
the jury at Thaw's second trial.
After Thaw had spent some hours
in his cell and grumbled a bit at his {
poor quarters he was removed to the
hospital, where the accommodations
are better. It was at his lawyer's suggestion
that he consented to see reporters.
"Where did you intend to go after
you left Matteawan?" he was asked.
"I may have been going home," he
replied quickly and finally.
Xo amount of questioning could induce
him to modify this dclaration,;
nor CDUld the interviewers persuade j
v?im toil where he had been or j
what he had done since leaving
Matteawan. Courteously but firmly
declined to answer all questions even
remotely bearing on the topic.
The authorities believe, however,
that Thaw had an all day ride at
breakneck speed after he left Mat
teawan. An automobile answering
the description of his big touring car
passed through White River Junction.
Vt., Sunday night. The same car was
seen yesterday morning at Woodsville,
N. H. On each occasion it was occupied
by four men.
It is believed Thaw and his two
companions left one man with the car
near Lancaster, X. H., before board
ing the train.
Of this, however, Thaw refused to
talk. He was then asked:
"Do you care to say anything about
threats you are said to have made
that you would go to certain people
once you were out of Matteawan?"
"I shall make no answer to the
nonsense of that sore that has been
printed,'' he replied. And that ended
the interview.
