I ( Spartanburg, April 2-">.?The fate o. Clyde C. Clement and .Miss Fleda Pen-! dletcn will be with h- jnrv Monday.1 i The testimony is all in. The lawyers' appeals alone remain t ? be made.: \ Each of the defendants on the wi 11 ess | s .v-tand today denied the charge 011 e which th y we' e jointly indie ed, that c they murdered the baby whose body j was found January Ml in a mill pond 1; here. They admit ed t>.at they went' n together cn the 11 igin of January 30 j j ;o the bridge. :r m wuicn tne ciiiiu.; was thrown into tae black waters oi'! i Lawson's Fork, the stream which; c )' rnis he mill po. d, but each of them' i t denied any knowledge of the purpose' of the trip. Clement said he wen: at' iss Pendleton's behest: she said she- i was taken there by Clement. .He said i, she threw the baby in o tne creek;.s she said he did it. i , Highly Dramatic. ; ? Miss Pendleton's testimony this af- j t ternocn was highly dramatic. She c would have died, she said, rather than ? permit harm to befall her little daugh- ^ ter, whom she loved dearly. Her only reason, she averred, for no: exposing I the alleged murder. Clement, was t that she was blindly in love with him t and he t3ld her that he would marry d her, take her far awav and they would blot the murder from their memory, c "tAnd do you still have this blind c love for Clement?" asked her gray- J haired counsellor, Col. Alvin H. Dean, e * --..IV \ "Do you want me to tell exactly uie L real state of my feelings?" she inquirt ed in turn. r ! "Yes, 1 do,'' said her attorney. r \ She paused for fully a half minute. 1 Then, with neaving bosom, exclaim|H ed: "You want to know if I still love ihe man who lied to me from the start! n 1 t to li.'/ish, who won my confidence, i *vho robbed me of my virtue?the man j v who murdered my child, without my jb c;nsent, willing or unwilling?the man ' t who now comes upNhere and lays the j crime on me, when he knows deep down in his heart that he did it him- 1 .self, who drags me before this public sind exposes me to shame: l3ve such * a. bru.e?" Her lip quivered, her voice c brcke. Two thousand persons jam-! i ming t.ie court room almost to suf-1 location held their breath. "Love such ! a a brute?" she asked wit a withering j ^ scorn. "i detest him." She had aui swered, and a murmur swep the court : Jocm. 1t \ "Quire a flourish," said C. F. Sanders. J1 of counsel l'or Clement. ' v' \ "Very well rehearsed," commented j ^ Samue 1 J. Nichols, ue boy's chiei of i a i counsel. t ?Aiivitigr Truth,** Shouts Dean. ^ ' Col. Dean leaped to his f.et. His i . 11: eves riasaed. "E.ery word o. it is i a ihe living truta," he shouted, "and! ^ .here's not an nonest man who d>.es a r.nt hplipvp it mc vrvn will find hv Thn verdict." ! "There's not an honest man who does ! i p believe it?' answered Cap . Xicho.s, | angrily. j o Judge Shipp called t'.ie lawyers to , i -orde". Miss Pendleton made an excel- j o 3ent witness In direct examination. Her I b Xestimony was at variance with her! f: original confession. Wnile it was true, i a she said, tha; si:e had desired to pari c v.-ith her baby because she wanted to r marry Clemen:, and he had laid thai p down as one of the condidons, the idea p of murdering the baby never entered i s her mind. When Clement took her in a n carriage to the bridge over Lawson's j Fork that fatal stormy win:er night,! she was without the slightest intima-; L Xion of his intention. j f< She gave him the babv to carry!a : -affar clio loft tho ^arriaoro ciicv 1 U ofci. wvi iVit ciiVy v.ui i ouv said to protect the lit:Ie creature from ' h the rain.

He walked ahead of her with tlu j ! baby, she swore, and when he returned ' r.he baby was gone. When realization : ^ oarne upon her, *he said, she begged h IiKr lover :o throw her into the creek, i y ioo. The girl was caught in frequen: contradictions in c oss-examination. i r uurs. j. ?5.
