Messervy must servo 20 years in the State penitentiary. The supreme court Thursday rendered a decision in which the verdict of the Colleton county court was afllrmed. This means that Messervy will have to spend practically the remainder of his days in the State penitentiary. Mebservy is a man over 4 0 years of age and a cripple. lie has t?een at the Slate peullentiary since his conviction. The opinion is by Chief Justice Jones and deals at length with the case and Ihe testimony presented at the trial. The crime took place on the eveuir.g of July 6 last year. C. P. Fislibtirne, who was employed us a county dispensary constable, was killed while trying to arrest Meeservy and seise some alcohol, a mule and wagon. The shipment had just been received by Messervy at the station at Kavenel. It was claimed thut the alchohol had been purchased by his wife. L. W. Mesaervy, from a firm iu Cincinnati. Messervy was tried at Uie November term of court for Colleton county fast year aud was found guilty of manslaughter. He was sentenced to "0 years in the State penitentiary by the late Judge Don tiller. At the Lriat a motion was made for a new trial, which was refused. latter an uppeal was taken to the supreme ?ourt. Soon after the trial Messervy w .*.*?
