A. BAILEY Merchant Clinton, South Carolina RUSSELL SCOTT >’ ESCAPES GALLOWS Jury Flndb Chicago Man to Bo Insane. Death Still Faces Should Men tality Be Restored. Chicago, Aug. 6^—Russell Scot! to day won his Ipt fight to escape the gallows. A jury in the court' of Superior Judge Joseph B. David found him in- sdne. The jury, which took seven ballots, reached its verdict after deliberat ing thred’.hours and 40 minutes. lia first ballot was reported to have heen 7 to B for insanity and thereafter the' vote gradually swung to the insanity verdict. - _ Scott immediate^ was committed to the Chester asylum for the insane. Scott sat tensely ip liis chafr while the jury filed into the box! He turned eagerly to/the foreman when he announced to the court that a ver- bict was ready and' as the bailiff passed the verdict to the clerk, Scott’s eyes followed the slip of paper might mean life or death. When the verdict was read Scott’s mouth twitched nervously and he shifted his position in the chair. He sat motionless at the side of bis At torneys while the court entered the with the charge that they had printed judgement on the verdict and then unfair accounts of the klan*and its activities. He added, however,, that the foult did not lie entirely with the reporters but also With the “dirty lying” rewrite, men behind the scene. ' “The difficulty with the world is 'that it is cursed with too many re ligions and lacks the faith of the re ligion of Lord , Jesus Christ,” Mr. Gulledge declared. “We say to out enemies, we hate you not. We love you, but for the love" of God, come to the foot of the cross.” Mr. Jones advocated a law for the District of Columbia to prevent the inter-marriage of negroes and white persons, and closed by saying: “I cannot conclude without paying a tribute of love to the man who al ways championed the cause of righte- oufehess—William Jennings Bryan.” This brought forth a fresh out break of cheering, which was frequent and vigorous despite a downpour of rain that fell during most of the cere monies. : • 4 * J THE JEDGE’S JOSH ♦ ♦ * Ain’t It The Truth?- f■ Little Child: “Father, what is a pedestrian ?” Father: “A pedestrian, my child, is one who runs, dodges and jumps.” was hurried OUT of the room as the bailiff adjourned the session. Mrs. Catherine Scott, the young wife of the prisoner, leaped forward in an attitude of prayer after the ver dict was read. Scott’s mother, at his side, wept and embraced Scott’s wife, while Thomas Scott, his a^ed and crippled father, received the verdict without show of emotion. Scott, while going to the asylum as insane, stHI faces death on the gallows should he ever be found to have re gained his sanity. T Scott, convicted of the murder of Joseph Maurer, a drug clerk, was sav ed from death three weeks ago, six hours before he was to have been hanged, by a week’s reprieve from Governor Small. Two weeks ago tonight, less than four hours before he was to walk on the death trap, he was again saved from the noose by a petition •filed be fore Judge David at 2 o’clock in the morning, declaring him to be insane. The hearing that saved his life was the sanity trial concluded late today, which started Monday. Had Scott been found sane, he would have been sentenced to death once more, this time b^, the judge who presided at the sanity hearing.
