The following acetfunt of the crime and the hanging ve take from The State: Last Spring Jailer Boone was detlveriag supper to the prisoners when he was assaulted by Al. Fields, a notorious criminal with a number f aliases, and several other prisonera. Blx ef the prisoners escaped and 11 were recaptured except Fields, who Is still at large. Jailer Boone lingered some time as a result of his wounds and was finally taken to hln old country home, whero he died rfveral months later. John Cook was appointed Jrller in the place of Mr. Boone during the past summer. While a carnival was i ib iohd Aim. Vyuun iuuk u?r junuien to the carnival grounds to see a balloon ascension. At toon as Mrs. Cook got away Mr. Cook was called from his room i by Mary Jones, a negro woman, who told him that the water pipes In the cell above hers, occupied by Henry Hrntley and Jim Cox were leaking and the water was dripping o? her bed. While Jailer Cook was beudlnc over examining the water pipe he was struck in the head with nn Iron spittoon by Huntley. The spittoon weighed about 10 pounds. Huntley ao?l Cox then took his keys away from him and threw Mr. Cook Into a cell and made their escape, taking the negro woman with them. The < woman was ca.'ured the night of the escape, but It was several days before Cox and Huntley were captured. Huntley and Ccx confessed later 1 that they had entered Into a compact with the woman to make their i escape at the first opportunity. They I yf staffed cotton taken from their mut res*e? into the drain pipe and caused i ft to overflow and got the negro wo- I man to call the Jailer.

Circles the Harbor Orer the Porta. Goea Oat to Sea and Return*. Jimmy Ward, the 18-year-old aviator, In a Curtis 25-horse power aeroplane, gave some fine exhibitions of his aklll at Charleston on Friday. He made a daring flight across two rivers, the harbor and out over the Atlantic ocean, breaking the world's altitude record for low-powered ma chines, and winning a prize of $5,000 by circling over two of the strongest fortifications on the Atlantic coast, demonstrating the efficiency of the aeroplnne as a scout in time of war. Landing gracefully on the beach In front of Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island, he handed a note to Col. Marsh, which the latter signed. \ ard then reentered his machine, rose from the beach and flew back across the harbor in a direct line to the aviation field north of the city. He covered a distance of about 25 miles In 5 i minutes. Very few people saw Ward begin his flight from the aviation field, his unsuccessful attempt of the day t>efore having aroused a spirit o* skepticism. News of the dar'ng attempt spread rapidly, however, ana many roofs in the city were packed when the airman made his return flight. Leaving the aviation field, he flew first to the navy yard on Cooper river, circling above the plant. He then flew down the river a distance of about five miles to the city, over the upper end of which he passed. He turned eastward, crossed the Cooper and Wando rivers and the harbor at a height of about 1,000 feet. Reaching Sullivan's Island nt the northern entrance of the harbor, and on which I'ort Moultrie Is situated, he circled back over the harbor at a height of about 2,000 feet, passlns dose to Castlo Pincknev. Heading seaward again, he passed directlv nver For' 'Sumter ut the entrance oi the harbor and swept for a distance of about a mile and a half over the waters o' the open Atlantic. i Turning he flew about the Isle ot Palms and Sullivan's Island and , landed on the beach in front of Fort ( Moultrie, amid the cheering of soltilers and officers. A note which he handed to Col. Frederick Marsh, in ( charge of the fort, was signed by : ihe latter and Ward brought It back to the city with him on his return. < It was on the return trip that he hroke the world's altitude record for i small machines. At a point directly ibove Mount Pleasant, a village on ( the edge of the harbor and opposite 1 to the city, he attained a height of I f?,3 00 feet, as shown by his baro- ] ?raph. As the aviation field came ] nto view. Ward, at that time over t hooper river, shut off hie power and rlidod for a distance of a mile ,?nd a i half, land ug safely and easily. He ! was shakh g at though palsied as he j ;>osed for lis picture, so terrible had t tteon the -train. \ GIKI.S IN .sI'ClPK PACT, listers l>' Ink Poison In a Confer1 tinners Store.

HELPS HARMON'S CAUSE Governor Wilaon In New Jereejr Is Trying to Send a Good Man In Place of Kemi iind From New York It In Hoped a Good Man Will Go. 1 he Washington correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle Bays Governor Harmon has won out again and strengthened himself at home an i abroad through the action of the caucus of the Democratic members o'i the Ohio legislature in selecting Ailee Pomerone for United States Senator to succeed Charles A. Dick. The friends of Pomerone In the Ohio delegutlon are confldont th it his selection will be a great thing for the party nationally, and bring Into the United States Senate aaother strong man. It Is especially pleating to friends who are backing Ju?'Ron Harmon for the Democratic nomination In 1 9 112. for thry l>ellevj thib new evidence of his strength a* :mir? will help him naturally abroad. The United States senator-ship fight In Ohio is one of tho four In which the Democratic party Is vltallz Interested. The other contests are rn Ne-York. New lorsey, and one that will be precipitated In West Virginia t?? select a successor to Senator Elkins. If the Ohio contest had brought about any charges of corruption or bribery, or even anything savoring of unseemly tactics, it would have been embarrassing to the party and particularly distressing the Democracy In Iko.a .. . . - ...coo on. 1/ m.v? ui hb in nnpii. ir the interests of the people wai not to he serve:! by the retirement of men like Charles A.

In the former state it is roported that Tammany is in complete control and that Charles P. Murphy can put ir 'he United Sta'es senate any n a.i he chooses. The strongest klcu cf assure is being brought to bear or Murphy to the end thnt he may name the right kind of a man. However, tiny man chosen will be known as Murphy's choice. Woodrow Wilson, the new governor of New Jon>ay, Is making a hard flsrht to prevent the election of former Senator Jnmes Smith. He is backing James F. Mnrtine, who was endorsed for the senatorahlp in the Democratic primary. It is said Smith Is not a proper man to represent New Jersey in the senate, and that his election, would be a calamity for the party. When the primary was on it was not thought remotely possll^o that he would offer. Now that the opportunity for the people to express 'heir cholc Is past, be wishes to submit his claims to the legislature which he believes la friendly.

They were not allowed to get off ai Lynchburg, their desired destln^t'>:i. and so were brought on to Sumter where they would have been set frethad It not been that vhrougu the warning of Dr. Plrnle, Mayor denning had had time to notify Ihe health office and station him with a policeman at the depot to keep ?*;y any such undesirable visitor*. Tno Watchman and Southron aays: "It seems that the men came from Marlon and were bound for Lynchburg or at any rate that was the way their ticket read. Dr. Blrnie got on the train at Florence with them and when the two men got off at Lynchburg and were Immediately hustled back on the train by the city officials at that place, who had received notification of the kind of visitors the? were almut to receive. Dr. Blrnie at once made It his business to find out what the conductor expected to do with the two cases of small pox. He found that the conductor expected to take them on to Sumter and turn them off the train there. Ho did not h :i V A f inn* t r* wnf nff -? pvi uu iuc iiniu ill Mayesvllle but ho got some one to clephone Mayor Jennings of the two eases of small pox and what the conductor expected to do with them, when he not to Sumter.

Ho at once got the health officer by phono and told hltn what his duty was. He also sent a policeman along to see that things moved smoothly and to help tho health officer In case of need. So when tho ra'n pulled in there they were hoth waiting to see that no cases of small ,?ov got off In the city of Sumter. This they saw to. and when the conductor Insisted, they mildly told him that they would tie his train down to the track and kep It there all day for him. The conductor objected to this even more than carrying on the cases of small pox which were In the smoking apartment of the colore ' coach.

Both were arrested and placed on a Btreet car after a chase through the Interstate bridge district and while being taken back to the city, asked that they be allowed to go inside the car. The requ- st was granted. One of the youthful bandits quickly pulled a revolver from a pocket that had escaped the notice of Policeman Harry Chesmore, who had made the arrest, opened fire on the officer and killed him. He was shot twice ta the lungs and once in the forehead. The robbers then held up the passengers and crew of the street car tnd at 6:30 a. m. made good their escape over the Northern railroad bridge. Tl?e two hoys entered the hotel il>out 3:45 o'clock Friday morning. Clarence Stubsted, the night clerk, and Charles Feasted were standing beside the desk.

To show that they vere In earnest, one of the boys tired a shot through the floor near rhe desk and the clerk and porter put their hands up. The boys them marched them into 'lie dining room and ordered them to stand up against the large iron post in the middle of the room. While one of the bandits covered :he two men with the revolver, the other hastily gathered some table linen and tied their hands to the post above their heads. The boys then returned to the leak and went through the cash register, taking about $50 In cash, and made their escape.
