Varner, a negro, at w hose inquest be acted as the coroner, Dallas V. Cain, the magistrate of that section of Berkeley County, known as Cain's Cross Roads, is now in the Berkeley County Jail, in Moneks Corner, awaiting trial at the November term of the Circuit Court, which convenes in Moneks Corner on the seventh of the month, while his alleged confederate, Julius Dangerfield, was arrested Monday morning at Summerville. Both arrests were made on warrants sworn out by special detective, 11. R. Thompson, of Washington, I). C.. was was assigned to this case by Governor Ansel, of South Carolina. Because of the many unique feature? of the case and the prominence of Mr. Cam, and the good reputation he has always borne in the community, the entire county is roused and waiting for the trial with eager anticipation, for it is said that many startling disclosure? will be made in the Court room on the trial day. Dangerfield is less well known 'than is Carn; but his arrest, coming at tin same time as did that of the latter ' has simply served to intensify the in- ' tere6t. Six witnesses were also plu< J ed temporarily in the counngaso-v their failure to make the xequir.oj $200 bond. The story of the crime is as follows: On the night of Sunday, September 18, about 11 o'clock, James c. vitrncr, w no uvea aione witn bis wife, and had retired earlier in the evening, was called to the door by a man's voice. He opened the door, and on doing so was shot. His wile creamed and rushed to his Bide; but he had already died. Magistrate I). V. Carn was notified of the crime immediately and according to his statement he at once started out to collect a coroner s jury, as in the absence of the coroner. he acted in the stead of that official. The jury collected was composed of the following: Dallas V. Carn. acting coroner; J. M. Mazzelle, George Lawrence, Theodore Lawrence, David Simmons. J. J. Droz \ P. A. Burbage. L. N. Burbage, Julius Dangertield. J. II. Feldor, David Lynch and S. A. Burbage. At this inquest, according to the official inquisition, which was forwarded by Cam to Corone.r T. P Crawford, and legally entered bv him, but one witness was examined, that one being Elizabeth Varner, t.h? wife of the dead man. The following is her sworn statement, in regard to what she knows of the killing of her husband. "On Sunday night, the 18th night of September, 1'JIO, at about eleven o'clock, someone come to the front of my house, and hallooed 'Hello! | several times \lv hnchumi had gone to bed. I asked my bus- | band to get up and see who that was j lie did so, and a? soon as ho got to the door someone fired and iny husband, James, fell on the floor and said, 'Oh Lord!" 1 got out of bed and struck a match and went to him and found that he was dead. I did not see or look for anyone on the outside of the house." Shortly after the killing, and the subsequent Inquest, vague rumors were circulated in the spareely settled community connecting Mr. Cam with the -crime. No one in the community, who was familiar with tlie circumstances, paid serious heed to these rumors; but a little more than a week ago some one officially reported the matter to Coventor Ansel The Governor immediately sent Special Detective II. It. Thompson, ol Washington, D. C.. to the scene ot the crime with instructions to probe the affair to the bottom. Detective Thompson arrived on the scene on last Tuesday and on this Monday appeared in Moneks Corner, where he met Coroner T. P. Crawford by a;?pointmont, after having spent the intervening days in the woods n? atthe scene of tile erimn Considering the data that he had gathered Rutticieni to warrant the arrest of Garn and Dungerflcld, he swore out warrants and these were placed in the hands of Sheriff it. G. Causey, together with the warrants for the six persons who were arrested aa being needed in the evidente for tho State at the trial. Two of the witnesses arrested are Louise Varner and Hosa I.ee Varner, the latter being a girl who was at the time of the arrest, and for a year previous to that time, according to her statement, employed by Carn as his housekeeper. After being arrested Mr. Cain made the following statement: "On the night of the tragedy I was with David Simmons and two of the Rurbagoa at my home until after 10.20.' I TWO BRAVE MEN RISK TIIE1II LIVES TO SAVE TIIE LIFE OF A SISTKU. Brothers EtU'h Gave a I'int of Their IIUkhI in an KITort to Save Loved One. The Atlanta Journal says Robert L. Wiggins, professor of English at Woffonl college, is on a rot at the Wesleyun Memorial hospital, in that city, where he will probably remain for several days until lie can recover from the loss of blood to battle with the dread pellagra. Prof. Wiggins is the second one of the brothers of Mrs. M K. Hush, of Milledgeville, to undergo the operation that takes from the veins of one person the life blood and sends it into those of another. Mrs. Hush, who has been ill for some time with pellagra, was in a critical condition when her brother. Rev. Sterling 1'. Wiggins, Pastor of the First Methodist Church of Milledgeville, Ga., went under ibe operation of giving up his blood. The ordeal was so living that for days l>r. Wiggins was too weak to le.-..v* bis bed al the hospital, llut the oiood tlia' had flowed from his veins had at least prolonged the life of his sister. When it was seen that this treatment resulted satisfactorily a second brother. Professor Wiggins, announced that he was ready to risk his life that his sister might be sa\ed. Sunday for three hours he was under the operation. He came out weak, hut otherwise unharmed M-inday Prof. Wiggins was too weak to leave his bed, but was happy over the announcement that the | -a< ritice he and his brother bad made I might result in saving the life of the sister who is so dear to them. After the operation the attending physicians announced that Mrs. Hush's condition was very encouraging. It was also announced that recent experiments with blood infusion in .Mobile, Ala., had resulted in at least half a dozen cures in pellagra cases. Each of the noble brothers give up about one pint of their blood to save their sister. Shortly after they left, Julius Dangerfield came in to see nie, having beep up the road near my house, and while he was there \V. H. Varner, a cousin of the dead man, brought the news to me. 1 at once started the work of collecting a suzcient number of competents to serve on the coroner's jury, and made the inquest at about ten o'clock in the morning. The inquisition I duly forwarded to Mr Crawford, along with the evidence of the only witness I could find, the wife of the murdered man. -My arrest came as a surprise to me. and as 1 am absolutely innocent, I am confident that I will have little trouble in clearing myself. I sbnll employ counsel. The only matter that is really troubling me is the care of my farm and other business while I am in jail." The housekeeper. Rosa !.< e Vai ner, a mulatto girl. HI years of age. baid that she had been employed by Cam for nearly a year, and that on the night James Vainer was killed she did not leave the house until about midnight. She said that Carn lllf.it retir.wt hufiiro !..? ? -v.. v. ?v .v.. ^ Ui?v IV1L LI**: auusv that nicht, and that ho had boon with friends the entire evening, never leaving his place. She stated that she was on her way to her home when Marian Varner, and another first cousin of hers, told her that James Varner had been killed. She said that she then went home and reported for work at the usual time the next morning. The expedition which started out to accomplish the arrest of Cam, Dangerfie.id, and tne witnesses, Monday norning, consisted ot Sheriff It G. Causey, Acting Deputy Sheriff I Sain Whaley, Coroner T. I*. Crawford, and <). It. Cohen. They reached Cam's house at about ten o'clock, i where they were joined by Detective Thompson. Cam was not at the | house Ah n the arresting party arrived hut reached there a tew minutes later, ami beyond seeming rather surprised, did not demur, lie was told of his arrest and shown the warrant, and then introduced to the detective, who claims to have sufiich nt evidence to convict Carn. He shock hands with the detective in a straight forward manner, giving vent to some witieism at the time. He invited the entire party in to eat a meal with him, and they all accepted, with the exception of Sheriff Causey, who u?u uu iu aummerviiie after Dangerfield, and Defective Thompson, who had corralled the wltu< uses and was walking with them '<>wards Stawberry, five miles away, where he carried them via the A. C. L. train to Momks Corner, and there placed them in tho county jail. Carn waa put in the county jail, and on his demand for a preliminary hearing, a wire was sent to (Jovernor Ansel, who replied that the coroner had no jurisdiction to hold a preliminary hearing. Dallas V. Carn is 33 years of age, tall and rather good looking.

At St. I.ouis Roosevelt deuouncnl the Dcmoratie party in New York as , an unholy alliance between Wall | street and Tammany llall" in a speech tin* other night anil attacked 1 the Democratic party in Missouri b> calling it the "party that represents | the special interests and spec tl privileges.' Hoosevelt also det'euded the pf'si tit > > ition <q the Repniquun party iti regard to the tariff. It was, Roosevelt's lirst speech in the present campaign. Tlic Collisen til was crowded to the doors with a crowd which cheered him frequently. He began his speech t?y commending How ll.tdloy as "an ttp'igl'.i and fearless public servant" and saying that the light in Missouri is similar to that being made in New York "In New York there are opponents who call themselfes the Democracy.' said Col. Roosevelt. "They have the very slenderest relation to any historical party bearing that name. For in New York what calls itself Democracy con sists in reality of an unholy alliance between Wall street an J Tatnanany Hull. It is enough to make Andrew Jackson, of Ti linessee. and Tom Ronton, of Missouri, turn in their graves to realize what the urganizations are that claim to be thou spiritual heirs and reperseniatives at '.his present day. "And as it is in New York, so it is here in Missouri; the genuine party of the people, the party that stands f<?r popular rights, that stands for all the people, .t the Republican party; and the party of reaction and of hourbonlsm, the party that represents the special interests aim special interests, is the party tnat arrogates to itself, forsooth the name of the Democracy. "In New York the special intoi ests. Is a'l of the powers tnat hope to keep or *o acquire privileges to which they are not entitled, have i gone with our antagonists, becuus- 3 they feel, quite properly, that in I their ranks is the place for eve*'* 1 num who believes in either crook -d tiusiness or crooked politics, and **- ? pecially in the alliance between crooked business and crooked poll- : tics." Alton 11. Farker has given ou> an interview at his home in New York on the S'ate campaign and Theodore Roosevelt, lie said in part: I "I am informed that Mr. Roosevelt has been advised by his friends tnat in this State the tide set in so strongly against his New Nationalism with himself as the steward of * the public welfare in 19 12 ami ? thence on for the balance of his life. : that he can only hope to save the t situation for himself and his tick i by announcement that he wont be a < candidate in 1912 and further he has . agre. d to make such a statement 1 within the next two <?r three days. I "There can be no doubt of the fa? t of his candidacy in the m'nd < of any man who lias watched nis ( course, carefully read his speeches. | and noted his almost brutal treatment of President Tatt. From my knowledge of and experience with him I have no hesitation iu saying that while the assurance will be given by him that lie will not be i candidate in 1912 his purpose is :o derieve the people of this State t in the hope that they will elect his t ticket. That done, he will accept the result as command by the people of the state that he tie its cand- date. Then, with the {Hilitieal niahine und'-r hi.- control, nothing can prevent him from securing the deleuates from this State. There is one sure way and only way "o avoid <!
