REPLIES TO HLEASE Vaulting Explains liis Coarse Reganiiiig tiie Primary Probe of 191-t W. P. Caldwell in News and Courier. Columbia, Jan. 13.?R. I. Manning, #i' Sumter, a candidate for governor, amide a reply this aiternpon to tae AtLiick on him contained in the yikwo era nf Ortififnfir RlAsmP which was read to the legislature to-day. Governor Blease had attacked Mr. Manning for introducing a resolution asking anvestigation into the election oi 1312 and state^ in substance that Mr. Manning was dead politically. In reply, Mr. Manning said that he had done his duty and "South Carolinians feouor a man for being true to his convictions, true to duty?but South Carolinians detest a coward." "As I introduced a resolution in the meeting of the State executive committee. reference in the governor's message is certainly to me and justice to myself demands that I take notice ?f it . "Some time ago I expressed my determination not to recognize the acceptance of two factions in this State, and I am determined now not to do so; but this does not imply that I shall not resist an unwarranted attack which is misleading and unjust. "I repeatedly introduced a resolu- j tion of investigation and did it because I I was unwilling that charges of wholesale fraud should remain uninvestigated. These charges were made by friends of both sides.'' Then follow^ vrrvrHiTur r?f tTi P resolution, which Mr. Manning intro- I dused before the State executive com- j mittee on August 27, 1912, providingj for an investigation into the primary I elections. Continuing Mr. Manning says: "I <juote from the governor's mes-j sags: ''The governor publicly stated on t'ce State House steps that the other side had stolen more votes and j)ut them in the ballot boxes than they j knew what to do with.' "There weer equally emphatic! charges on the other side. As a. mem- j ber of the executive committee I acted j in the capacity of a iudge, not a partisan. I felt that the surest way to put an end to these charges was to ascertain whether or not they were true, _^ J! e.nd I favored an investigation mat. would prove as thourougia and expedi- i tious as possible. "At the end of this meeting I was | ealle(J to a distent State by illness in j my family and was, therefore, unable I x ~ " ?> 4-V.^y A^tnmittaa r?f invpctl- I IU SCI VC WJL1 Li-IG VI ?U"VV I gation. Upon my return to South Car- j olina 1 'wrote the chairman of the j State executive committee, the Hon. i John Gary Evans, under date of Septmeber 20. 1912. in part as fo'lows:" Then follows a letter in which Mr. j "Mo-nnincr wrrifp Mr. Rvans that he thought the result of the election ought to be declared on account of the political conditions in vhe State. Then fo!!ow,s the resolution which Mr. Manning offered at the meeting of the State committee on September-26, in which the result of the election was declared and that Mr. Please was oeclared the candidate of the Demo cratic party for governor. "It would seem to any fair-minded man/' says Mr. Manning, "this statement would reveal the fact that I acted consistently throughout?not as an advocate but in the capacity of a judge and as one who earnestly desires the welfare of tee \vhite man's party in this State and eagerly wishing to preserve the integrity of the Democratic * party in South Carolina and the integrity of the primary urged a thor ouga and speedy investigation, and at the conclusion of the hearing was just enough and fair enough to move .that the result of the election be declared in favor of Governor Blease for whom ; I did not vote. I have stood always j and stand now in favor of honest elec- j tions. I make no charges; on the con trary. I stated frequently that in my own county I ^knew \he election was fair and honest. It would have been grossly unjust for me to advocate where 1 had previously condemned. "As to my 'political death knell,' j there are things far worse than defeat?one of them is disloyalty to duty | ?I did my duty as I saw it and for j tiiub i uavc iiu apuiusj *-v iiia^v. x *uv ; not fear defeat, I prefer defeat rather; than victory won by faithlessness to a j trust?I prefer defeat rather than a j victory won by division of our peo- j pie: but if I know the people of my ; State, I feel that they will not vote j against me because I fearlessly did my j duty as I saw' it, when to shirk that I duty would have been the politic thing j to do. South Carolinians honor a man f for being true to his convictions, true | to his duty?but South Carolinians de- j test a coward." \ Governor Blease's Rejoinder. ! I Columbia, January 13.?When ^ shown the statement by Mr. Manning this afternoon Governor Blease made the following rejoinder: "I will take care of Mr. Manning and i ( his record on tr.e stump in 1914 if he runs for governor or for United States ' Senator just as I did in 1906, when 1 retired him from the governor's race and Governor Ansel was elected. He ] may offer excuses, but white men in South Carolina who voted for me will never forget that he charged them with neriurv and corruntion and that when he was appointed on a committee dodged the issue and threw the responsibility on others." WILL APPLY FOR HIS RELEASE ! Thaw Will Ask for Bail In Federal Court?Elated at Victory. j ______ Concord, N. H., Jan. 12.?Harry K. : Thaw, elated by the report of the fedf era' court commission that his release ; on bail would not endanger public i safety, remained in his apartments here today, receiving messages of congratulations and planning a series of visits within the State in the event that Federal Judge Aldrich allows his j freedom under bond. I The next mo;e in the case will be filing by Tjaw's counsel of the peti tion asKing ttiat me amount or Dan be fixed, and a date for a hearing will be set by the court. Thaw and his attorneys are pre ; p-aring a brief order by Judge Al| drich in the matter of extradition and ( to which William Travers Jerome,;, special deputy attorney general of \ i New York, will reply before the final j j court hearing takes place. j { Several attorneys conversant with j; federal court procedure agreed to- j. day that Thaw, if released under ( bond, wo.uld be immune in every part . of the federal jurisdiction from ar- j \ rest by State authorities in connection < with the murder of Stanford White ( and his escape from Maateawan 1 pending final disposition of the habeas ( cornus proceedings in the federal f court. j An immediate hearing on the mat- \ ter of releasing Thaw on bail was ; r asked for in a petition fi'ed in United I States district court today by Merrill S'zurtleff of Thaw's counsel. The peti- c tion also asks for futher time to pre- r pare Thaw's brief in the matter of ex- . < tradition. | s The brief of Attorney General Car- ; e inody of New York on the matter of1 s Thaw's extradition was filed today, j i Mr. Carmody contended that the req- j t uest of New York for Thaw's extra- i y | dition should have been granted and ! n i that Thaw's test of the constitution- J aiity of his rights should have come j p in an appeal from the decision of the | b court in New York in the event that j s !he was found guilty there on the j \ charge of conspiracy. j d ADMIT SHOOTIStf. ^ tiurgaiious a?d urs.

Judge ? * T Spain passed sentence upon the pris- ^ oners. c On Gurganous he laid a sentence of six months at hard labor or a fine of $125. Ella Hite was sentenced to im- s prisonment "at such labor as she may ^ be able to perform'' for three months s and to pay a fine of $100, proviued 1 that the prison sentence should be sup- k pended upon the prisoner paying the .K fine and leaving the State of South ; Carolina and remaining away. Pay Their Fines. I \ n?r<yQnAiie onH 7VTpc T-Tifo f I JUL UUl^UUVUO uiiu AA*bv jswvt L their fines promptly. Before sentence t was passed Col. J. Brooks Wingard of s counsel for the defence, said: "It is c agreed by the solicitor and counsel s for Mr. Gurganous, that counsel shall | ? have tIie opportunity at this point in }behalf of Mr. Gurganous to'make a 1 c short statement and to have the same j 2 incorporated in the record of. this i \ case.

Mrs. Hite appeared in the court room neatly attired in a becoming suit of blue. She did not appear the leist m>rvous until the time came for her to sign the plea. As soon as the sentence had been pronounced she left the court room v/ith the sheriff. Iler escort, her attorney, E. L. Asbill, did not make any rrnpn nlpn fnr hie rlipnt. hilt hp and the solicitor conferred with Judge Spain before the sentence was pronounced. A few feet distance, on the opposite side of the room, sat Walter E Gurganous. Mrs. Hite's eves were centred on the judge and she did not glance in the direction of her husband. * Her First Interview. At the jail in a private room, after the proceedings were over, Mrs. Hite aereed to receive a reported in the presence of Sheriff Miller. This is the first time since her arrest that she has permitted herself to be interviewed. In a calm and dispassionate manner, even modest, she expressed her great satisfaction that the case had been ended. "My only hope and desire," she said, "is to be with my husband and dear * little girl. I want to correct tire impression that fnas gone out over the country to the effect that my husband and I have separated 1 Such is not the case, I assure you Milton is anxious, to be with me, and I "know that he will come to me as soon as he can. I don't mind leaving the State at all; there are other places to live besides South j Carolina, and I know that we will be j as happy as ever, once we get set-! tied down and my husbantl recovers j entirely. I expect to go where he can j ?ome to see me every day if lie wants j o, and where I can go to him.

They have hown me every kindness and consideration that in their power lay, and I hall ever remember them, although know that I will not be permitted j o come back this way again. Myi ife is not near as black as it has been j minted," she concluded. Mrs. Hite left this afternoon in com- j any with! her sister in an automo-! T.e for Columbia from which point j he said she would go to Agusta. : oung Gurganous left Lexington to- i ay in company with his brother-in- | aw. Before leaving the court house udge Spain called Gurganous to the ench' and admonished him to be more j iscreet in the future. Thus came to a close what promised i be tlie most sensational case ever j ried in the courts of this county. r.1n.rAini/1in(r fViri VlfjnnPTl. ! lie iHJ 3 LC1 SUI luuiiuiut, uupyvu I ug remains as deep a mystery now j s it did at the begining.
