SHERIFF REFUSES j TO OBEY ORDERS : KEEPS PRISONERS IN HOME ^AFTER REQUEST ' T ^ Beaufort Becomes Aroused Over Slaying of Aged Man and t Meeting Is Held ? * ! Thfc State. ; Beaufort, Aug. 10.?A mass mooting that crowded the court house tonight vofced to instruct the chairman to appoint a committee of three citi * zens to collect, prepare ana present evidence against Sheriff J. H. Baley b&fore the grand jury. This grew * out of his refusal and failure to place : Ralph E. Brown hi jail as directed f in the coroner's commitment, which found at the inquest yesterday that, Brown killed T. P. L. Bettison. The vote was unanimous except for a brother of Brown. The sheriff kept the prisoner at his home while the law requires he be put in jail. Early in the afternoon over 100 citizens met and sent a committee to the sheriff asVing him to. meet with them and explain his action, rnis ne reiusea to uu. oulieitor Murdaugh was on his way from Hampton and the meeting wa. adjourned to the evening. The solicitor was preseat then and advised : with the meeting as to the sheriff's action. Just before the evening meeting the sheriff placed his prisoner in ' jail, but again refused to attend the , meeting. Condemnation was ex- , pressed at the feet that the sheriff's iPttorney and advisor is the attorney for the defense in the case against ihrown. " i Condemnation of the city government for alleged leniency toward < Brown in former difficulties was gen- < eral, and a motion was carried, 89 to ; 38, asking for-the resignation of the ; three commissioners, over two-thirds , refraining from voting on this -issue owing in part to the absence of the mayor. Many women attended and , voted. Intense- feeling was manifest- j ed in the applause and speeches but the best of -order was maintained. ; The committee sent to the sheriff was- Alan Paul, L. H. Hall and Gus ( Sanders, county treasurer. Niels Christeo^n was cfc&irman of the meetingte and Alan Paul secretary. J. H. Bellamy and William Alt- , ^ian. made the motions that carried. The solicitor has .refused to consent to a request for bail for Brown. In the news account sent out yesterday it was stated, that Bettison was killed while seaed. A further examination of the testimony shows that at the coroners inquest no direct evidence was presented to that effect. Brown claims self defense in his request for bail. ? Beaufort, Aug. /lO.?The funeral of T. P. L. Bettison, whose tragic; death was reported yesterday, wasi held- this afternoon at the Baptist] chtirch of wfrien he was a member, j The Rev. C. E.
