A man and woman wore hung in
England Tuesday for murdering the
woman's husband, and this was done
notwithstanding the fact that more
than one million signed petitions
asking clemency. In fact, it is said
that the petitions were so voluminous
it took a large truck to transport
them. This could not have happened
in South Carolina. The crime was
committed on October 4th, last, and
they were hung on January 9th.

NEGRO KILLS WHITE WOMAN,
Tom Johnson Lodg <d in Penitentiary
For Safe Keeping.
Olar, Jan. 10. ? What is regarded
as the most atrocious crime that has
| ever taken place in this section of the
state wan committed about five miles !
from Olar yesterday afternoon about !

nor until she was almost dead.
It so happened that Freddie Gun
nels with a negro man came along
the road in a wagon, and when they
were opposite the door of the gin
house their attention was called by
the Round of the. groans, and they
saw through the door the bloody form
struggling on the floor and Tom
Johnson standing in the corner about
five feet distant. Johnson told them
that Mrs. Lancaster had fallen qu?
of the gin house. Mrs, Lancaster was
immediately carried in the wagon to
her home, and while stye was being
put to bed she told her husband in
the presence of Gunnels that Tom
Johnson slipped up on her while she
was picking off peanuts and commit
ted the deed. She was too weak to
go into details. The negro confessed
to officers Inst night that he commit
ted the crime.
Thoro waa considerable blood scat
tered on the floor of the Upper story,
where she had boon beaten before she
was thrown to the lower floor. Two
large freshly cut sticks, tho end of
which was covered with blood, were
picked up near tho victim, also a large
iron pin with skin and hair sticking
to it. The negro claims that he first
threw the iron pin at Mrs. I^ancaster,
striking her on the back of the head.

tiary in- compliance with orders from
Coventor Harvey.
