Smith, butter known as "Jack" Smitb> a well known farmer of the West Wateree section of the county, met instant death here Mon day about 12:30 o'clock when a load ?f buck shot was fired into his left Wast by Bolton Ow$hs, one of the {fridge keepers at the Wateree toll bridge near here. The trouble originated between tin two men Saturday night when Smith drove his car into ^another car driven by H; B. Croft, causing Croft's* car tu bump into the dide of the toll house, causing a slight damage. Croft and Smith are said to have settled their collision amicably, when it is said Owens, the keeper, came out and had something to say about the af fair, Hot words passed between Smith and Owens, and it is said Smith cursed Owens and trouble was narrowly averted, bujt the affair was thought to have been settled. Smith came to Camden Monday and was on his way back home. Owens', who was not on duty at th? bridge at the time of the shooting, and who is said to have gone to the bridge a short while before, raised the toll window and fired as Smith was sitting in his car with left hand raised to ward off the shot and the other on the steering wheel.- Smith died instantly* with a gaping hole through his left breast, just under the heart. , ? John A. 'Rabon, another well known farmer of West Wateree, occupied the front seat with Mr. Smith when the shot was ffred, A negro by the name of James Murphy testified that Mr. Smith was leaning from the muzzle of the gun exclaiming "Don't Jo that, I am not bothering you." Mr. Owens is about 60 years of atfe while Mr. Snftith was about 50 years. Both men were married and leave families. * Mr. Smith has a wife and one child. Mr. Owens has a wife and several grown children. Mr., Smith is also survived by two brothers, Joseph Smith, of Chester county and James M.*Smith of West Wuteree.- ?- ?ry An inquest was held in Magistrate Nicholson's office late Monday after noon by Coroner W. F. Russell with Solicitor A. F. Spigner questioning' the witnesses. The verdict of the coroner's jury torn posed of Arthur Moseley, fore man, R. E. Stevenson, Wylie Sheorn, Benton Sheorn, J. R. Belk*and W. Arthur Clarke, brought in a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound at the hands of Bel ton Owens. Mr. Owens came to Camden im mediately after the shooting and sur rendered to Constable Stokes at the office of Magistrate Nicholson. He was placed in the county jail where he is still incarcerated. The testi mony as taken at the inquest by Mr. S. X. Nicholson is given in full be ) 11 Attorneys W. Bratton deLoacn ana 1. C. Hough have been retained by Mr. Owens to defend him. Former Judge Mendel L. Smith has been re tained by the family of Mr. Sniith to assist the state in the prosecu tion. The court of general sessions meets next Monday and it is not likely that bail will be asked for Mr. Owens until the court meets. W. R. Clyburn, being sworn, says: I am a practicing physiciaTl in Ker shaw county. I examined the body of Mr. J. K, Smith today. _I f>rst saw him at the river bridge. He was dead at that time* Later I made an examination of his,. body at the undertaker'* establishment. I saw one wound in his left side about the size of a dollar in diameter or a little bigger. It was about six inches below the arm pit, a little to the front. It was a. punctured wound. There were large punctures. It went almost directly inward, possibly a little upward. It penetrated the heart. Cut the lower end of the heart. That, wound was sufficient to cause death. It did cause death. , From a wound ? ike thut I think death would have been instant. When I went to tne bridge \the body was lying over to -he right on the ground. I not examine the clothing. Did not see them. Did not see any powder burns on the skin. I saw two ??t?, on him, an overcoat and another I think. His fifth and sixth ribs were broken, i (Questions^ &y Mr, deLoachji , j wound was a little in front of the left arm.

Mr. James Kabon was sitting on the sea drunk iii the car, No one was mis behaving in the oar. Mr. Smith drove lip to the bridge aniT he stopped the car. The bar was across, When ho stopped, 1 thought he stopped to pay the ferr^ifO, Mr. Smith said 'Don't do that, I am not bothering you." When Smith said that Mr. Owens had the gun in his hand. Mr. Owens was in the office with the gun sticking out the window. The gun was pointed towards Mr. Smith at that time. When Mr,1 Smith said "Don't do that, 1 am not bothering you," Mr. Owens said "Yes you did." Mr, Owens did not say anything else, but Mr. Smith continued to sav- sev eral times, "Don't do that, I am not bothering you." Mr. Owens then shot him. He did not say anything when he pulled the trigger. Just before Smith ^vas s"hot, his left hand was held up. 1 could not see the other hand. He was begging Mr. Owens not to shoot him. He was leaning against Mr. Rabon, who was sitting by him. When the shot was fired Mr. Owens still stood there, and Mr. Smith stepped out the- ear and said "Oh Lord." took about two steps and fell forward. Smith did not have anything in his left hand when he was shot. After he was shot and stepped on the ground he took his hand and pushed his hat back on his head arid put his hands across his breast and fell. He never spoke after he /fell. After Mr. Smith fell, he fell'kind of behind the car, and Mr. Owens asked had he got up and 1 said "No" and he asked me did I want anything and I told him "No." When 1 next sa*v Mr. Owens he was going in his car. MrT Brown crossed the road before the shot was fired. I don't know exactly where he was when the shot was fired. No one else was there. Several cars parsed later but I don't know who they were. In about a minute or two Mr. Brown came back. Mr. Owens never,asked Mr. Rabon anything. I never heard ?Mr. Brown or JVlr. Owens say any thing to each other. Mr. Smith* did not have a pistol pointing at Mr. Owens when Mr. Owens shot him. j Mr. Smith had gloves on both hands. | Mr. Smifch was leaning on Mr. Rabon when he was begging Mr. Owens. Did not see his right hand when the gun was fired. I did not specially look in the car right after that. There was not a pistol on the ground when Mr. Smith stepped out. (Questions by Mr. deLoach) Mr. Smith got put of the car on the right hand "side. It is a left, hand drive. (Questions by Mr. Spigner) When Mr. Smith got out ? he : got out on Mr. Rabon's side of the car, the way he was lean ing. Mr. Smith was not leaning on Mr, Rabon when Mr. Owens shot him. Mr. Rabon had just stepped out the ! car. This is what I meant to say a while ago. J. H. McLeod, being sworn, says: I am a deputy sheriff of Kershaw county. I received information that there had occurred a homicide at the river bridge. Mr. J. A. Rabon and Earl Truesdale went with me. I went' in Mr. Smith's car driven by Mr. Truesdale. When I got to the bridge I saw the body of Mr. J. K. Smith! at the light edge of the driveway with his head towards Camden. Hs had on a raincoat and an ordinary suit of clothies. He was lying .oil his back when I saw him... The. top. button of his raincoat was buttoned. His breast was* bloody. I examined | his clothing at the bridge. I never j saw any weapon on the ground. There! was no weapon in the car that I saw. I felt his clothing to see whether or not he had a pistol. I felt something in his right hand over coat pocket. I put my hand in his pocket and saw that it was a pistol. There were a good many people there and I did not take it out of his pocket there. Mr. Whitaker came down there just after I got there, j I told him there was a pistol in his pocket. I went to the undertaker's establishment. When we got there the pistol, in moving him was not in his pocket, but was between his overcoat and his body. I am sure the pistol was in his pocket when was *at the bridge. It was a Smith and Wesson pistol. It was loaded all the way round. There was no other weapons on him. Mr. Owens is in jail. I do not know anything else that you have not asked me, Mr.} Smith had both gloves on his hands. I ,). H. McLeod recalled, says: I have | the pistol I found in Mr. Smith's coat pocket. It was in this condition. This is the gun I found in the little house. 1 found this loaded shell in the left hand barrel and the empty shell in the right hand barrel. When I pulled the shell out the smoke came out. This gun was found about two feet on the right hand side of the win dow looking west in the house they collect toll in. (Roth gun and pistol offered in evidence). This is a Smith & Wesson 32 cal. A. C. Whitaker,-bPTng sworn, says: 1 heard Mr. J. H. McLeod's state ment a while ago. It is correct ?<i i far as I know. Mr. McLeod got there j ahead of me. Mr. McLeod told me he would not search the body there, but would wait until we got to the undertaker^. Mr. Mel^eod told me on the way to the undertaker's that Smith had'a pistol in his pocket. I never examined 'the gun. I saw him unbreach it. There was one empty shell In it and one loaded shell.

TO DIE Governor McLeod Refuses To Inter fere With Electrocution Today Columbia, Dec. 1.?-Mortimer N, King and Frank Harvell, ex-Hofdiers and cotton mill operatives, will die by electrocution in the state peniten tiary here next Friday, the petition of their attorneys for commutation of ?entenees having been refused by Governor McLeod today. ? A thorough review of the testi mony, the governor said, convinced him that he would not be justified in exerpising clemency on behiylf of the defendants. When King and Harrell are led to the small enclosure in the. death $H>use where they will pay the su preme penalty, it will.mark the end of a drama of crime that began ear ly'on the afternoon of July 2, last, when they held up Major Samuel H. McLeary, of the llnited States army, about twelve miles south of Cher aw, after he had given them a "lift." Both wetfe held equally , guilty by the law 'when thoir plot resulted in the slaying- of the major by King, while Harrell watched by the offi cer's automobile for passers-by. :? Governor McLeod, in a statement issued late today, discussed the ca?e, and especially the complicity of Harrell. Stating that he had gone fully into the case during the period of reprieve which began about three weeks ago, the governor stated that he could not allow a "natural sym pathy" for -the defendants to deter him ffom dieharging his "primary duty to the state of South Carolina." Reference was made in the state ment to the communications pro and ?on on the question of commu I tation received by the governor] from private citizens. These, he said, ran from "mauldin sympathy to bit-j I ter vituperation" although many wore j i "earnest and sensible comments on I | the case." ? . '?I I "The prinripsl^question and that which I have investigated most thoroughly, was the extent of the complicity in the crime of the de fendant Harrell," said the governor. "From the evidence, it. clearly ap pears that King and Harrell formed a plan to 'stick somebody up.- The subsequent events show that this 'sticking up' process meant the cov ering of the victim with a pistol and his robbery. It likewise appears that a part of the plan was that the victim, after being robbed, was tp be tied up. There is no question 1 but that Harrell participated ^freely with King in this agreement, and it is in the evidence , that he suggest? ed the 'sticking up' process. "It is likewise ? in the evidence that the' actual signal to stop the car and carry the plan into opera-; tion was given by Harrell. "It is true that 'probably neither j one of them expected to commit this murder in the manner in which it was carried, out. But the con ception of their plan was malicious and carried with it not only the pos sibility, but the probability of mur der, depending solely on whether or ^ot the victim resisted. "While they were engaged iri this process, Harrell was sent to cut off. the engine -fcf the automobile and I to secure a rope, if one could be found, with which to tie the vic tim. With Harr?ll thus away, Major! McLeary was actually shot and killed! by King. The trip by Harrell to the car had a two-fold purpose; to avoid possible detection' and to secure a rope wherewith Major McLeary would I be tied up." . ?? The governor asserted in his state ment that this proposition to tie tip Major McLeary and leave him in the woods on the side of the road had in it the possibility of murder, and "an even more horrible fate than that which he actually met." "They stripped the bo<%, divided the plunder, took the automobile which was driven by Harrell, and went their way until they separated in North Carolina. Ho substantial evidence in the conduct of the de fendants appears sufficient to dis tinguish between the guilt of both and the complicity of both from the initial steps until the final tragic ending." That the attorneys appointed by the court to defend King and Har rell without pay are due commenda tion rather than criticism for their "zeal and devotion" was stated by the governor. He added that their appeal, signed by eleven of the trial jurors and citizens of Chesterfield county was presented "with all. pro priety." ' ?> "To say that I am soify for these | two unfortunate men does not be-' gin to express my feelings," the gov-, ernor concluded. "The law of South i Carolina for such ease^-is capital punishment. That law I can not, and will not arbitrarily ' suspend. The law must be vindicated; the crime must be expiated and I therefore, will not interfere with the sentence of the court/* Major McLeary was shot and killed by King and Harrell about twelve miles south of Che raw, on the Ba Icigh-Colombfe road on the afternoon) of July 2, last. Failure of the officer to call for /unds telegraphed him at ? hotel here, aroused the suspicions of rela tives that he had met with foul play. They communicated with the War Department which instituted a that extended over the Carolines, Georgia end Tenne??>. K" arras tea Beer hit home et Harrell* on a yagrfency charge nftar Nashville, Tenn. King confessed and led officers to the spot where the officer'** body was found. He implicated Harrell, who at first denied, pttt liter admitted his connection with the crime., They were tried and convicted in the circuit Court of Chesterfield and wero sentenced to death on November 21. (.Jovernor McLeod reprieved them, until December 5, so as to allow him to review the evidence in the case. With the decision today by the gov ernor not to extend clemency, all hope of escaping the ehnir apparently is gone. King is a former resident of North Adams, Mass., where his mother now resides, although he is married and has a family at Canton, N. C. Harrell is from near Lockhart, Union county. New Calendars The Bank of Camden requests us to announce that they have received their 1925 calendars and that cus tomers and friends can have thuin by calling at the bank while they last.

Scott Dyer, who has been with 'the Hermitage Cotton Mills as secretary for nearly a yea?' and who had made numbers of friends in Cam den, has given up his position at the mill here and gone to ? Bessemer City, *N. C., to accept a similar po sition with the Osage Manufacturing Company at that place. Mr. Hunter S. Lang, who formerly held this position* at the Hermitage Mill here, but who has been at Bes semer City with the Osage Mill for several years has returned to Cam den, and the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Lang will be glad of their return to Camden. Mr. R. B. Pitts of this city is president of both mills. Had Miraculous Escape While driving a Cadillac car from Columbia to Camden last Friday morning Mr. A. L. Watkins, of this city, had a most miraculous escape from severe injury and possible death. He was coming down the incline just beyond Pontiae where the big fill is protected on both sides with posts and guard rails. He admits he was making pretty fast time when a wagon lopmcd up after passing an other car. The Cadillac ear took the hind wheels off the wagon, struck the posts?tearing down an entire section of the post and rail, turned completely over and righted itself. Mr. Watkins cut the engine off, opened the door and stepped out, and aside from brushing , the sand and dust from his hair, was uninjured. The car was pretty badly damaged and had to be carried back to Colum bia for repairs. BARFIELD .MAKES ESCAPE Five Other Prisoners Make Break From Darlington Jail Darlington, Dee. 3.?Five prisoners broke jail here late this afternoon and are now at liberty. TheNpr?soners had hardly gotten away when Sheriff E. W. Register discovered their absence and immediately started a search for them. The prisoners getting away were: Loytj Harrison, alias John Bar field, white; Bink Brown, white, and Bill Hammonds, Jim McDonald and Dave Jackson. Three other prisoners who were confined in the jail did not, make any attempt to get away and re mained behind, while the .others made their daah for liberty. Of the three remaining one is a white man and the other two negroes. All of the prisoners were confined in what is known as the run-around and by three bars being sawed made their get-away. It has not yet been determined whether it was an "out side job" or whether the prisoners sawed the bar? theijiselves. Loye Harrison, 4>r Barfield, as he is known here, was awaiting a new I trial for the alleged killing of Fed eral Officer LeRoy Youmans during the summer of 1923 while the slain (officer was leading a raid on a whis- i "key "still near Hartsville. He was convicted and sentenced to life im prisonment, but through an appeal to the ^Supreme Court was granted a new trial,. Bink Brown, the other white man, was awaiting trial on a charge of forgery. Bill Hammonds was to have been tried on a charge of killing hi*r,wife. Jim McDonald was being held for j alleged larceny and Dave Jackson was held on an assault and battery charge. ?

Death Removes Faithful Laborer Reuben Benson, aged 56, a well known negro man, died at his home 140W Campbell street Sattirday af tprnoon. His death came suddenly, Benson was the father of one son and five daughters and had made his home in Camden all of his life,. 1 more than thirty years of which he had spent as a faithful employ? of the Southern railway at this placo. He had been at times a pumper at Kingsville and at other places, but his last 'duties were that of coaling . the freigfht engines oat the old South ern depot. His wife Nannie Benson survives tym. The funeral was held at Trinity Methodist church Wednes day at midday, services being con ducted by Rev. B. F. Bradford. The Dentpns Convicted. Will, Arthur and Herman Denton, brothers *of Camden, were convicted of assault and battery of-a high and aggravated nature on account of a shooting scrape at the home of their brother-in-law, Frank Williams, at the Blue Buckle Mill, Rock Hill, sev eral months ago. The jury also con victed Arthur and Herman Denton of carrying concealetl weapons but - Judge Bonham set aside that part of the verdict. The three were sentenced to pay a-* fine of $100 each which was promptly - paid. The charge brought by Frank WiUiams against them was assault [ and battery with intent to kill. It seems that Williams married the sis ter of the Dentons. They disagreed and Mrs. Williams went back t^ her kin, taking her children with n'er. ^Williams went to Camden after his daughter, aged 15. and brought her back to Tlock Hill. That afternoon the three ' Denton brothers came to Rock Hill for a con ference with Williams. After some talk, Williams went into his house and returned with a shot gun. He let ?loose and most of the shot hit Will Denton in the back. The Dentons then started shooting at Williams with pistols, but was not hit.
