Danniel, who was in charge of presenting the evidence gathered by W. W. Rogers, State detective assigned to the case by Governor McLeod last fall, and others, had no statement today. Last night he said the grand jury’s action “speaks for itself,” adding that so far as he knew’ the case was ended unless there were new developments.

Henry Johnson yes terday afternoon that: “We do not feel that sufficient evi dence has come before us at th ; s time j to warrant our asking for indutments against any one or more, parties.” The finding, according to several citizens of Aiken, occasioned no sur- j prise, as it was generally known what : each of the witnesses was expected to testify. I Sheriff Nollie Robinson, who claim ed to have been overpowered by the lynchers when the victims were seized, and who later, according to Governor McLeod, denied that he was a parti cipant in the crime as one or more of the w itnesses is said to have charged, j would not say whether he planned any i further effort to apprehend the lynch- i held under the auspices of South Car- er ^ 1 ; L c?t;er ^ a ^* . olina Presbytery.
