was Dan's fir?t "joy trigi," the first
time he had over ridden in an auto

delighted at the sights on Main str<>et
It was like a new world for Dan.

He was content to remain with his

I)an was convicted of killing Robert
Copes, treasurer of Orangeburg coun

ceptionally strong, but there were no
eyewitnesses. Dan always said he was
Innocent. I>a?t year lie expressed
deep regret that he had not taken" the

' story, but it was -too late. )
Treasurer Coin's was making the
round's of the county collecting taxes
?when lie was slain. Kvidence at the
trial showed that the gun used be
l<?ng?xl to I>an and it was also brought
out that the tracks around the scene
of the killing were made by Dan,
certain tacks in the heel pointing con
