TKOt'HLE IN "GKKCHELAND"
Hum War HcmuHh in Many Sei*qt-en,
Three Deaths, Several Arrests.
>\ (Charlotte Observer, May 18
After six weeks of maneuvering
from headquarters of the eighth federal
prohibition district here, war
broke between the two strongest
bootleg factions of South Carolina
and yesterday the government was
probing the death of two bootleg
kings and a subordinate, victims of
the first clash in an open feud in the
"Hell Hole" sector of Berkeley
county.
Death rode through the moonshine
sector when leaders of the clans, en*
raged by information furnished federal
agent against each otheiv> met
in a pitched battle hear Monch's Corner
and the first blood was shed in
what authorities believe to be the
opening of a long and desperate war.
In the wake of the shooting five
men were lodged in a Charleston jail
yesterday, warrants were out for
others and a coroner's jury was 'being
called to probe the death of Sam
J. McKnight, known in the "Hell
Hole vicinity as king of the McKnight
clan; Jervie Mitohum, lieutenant
in the same gang, and Benjamin
Ville Ponteaux, leader of the rival
gang.
As the history of the feud came to
light yesterday dry officers were
^ exultant, characterizing the affray as
the death knell of illicit traffic in
"the dirtiest hole on the seaboard."
Those arrested were Jeremiah
Wright, Percy Wright, Jesse Murray,
Thaddeus Villomteaux and James Anderson.
Bad blood existing for years between
the moonshirie factions of
"Hell Hole," which covers almost
half of Berkeley county, came ito a
head on April 29 .when an unnamed
informer called at the 'prohibition
headquarters at Charleston and volunteered
information and maps of
distilleries in that district.
Agents Poppenheim and Young,
federal officers at Charleston, accompanied
the informer on the morning
of April 8<h to the vicinity of
"Hell Hole," with the result that nine
distilleries consisting of six stills, 3Q
gallons of whiskey, 19,000 gallons of
beer and $7,000 worth 'of material
were captured. The property was reported
to be owned and controlled by
the McKnight brothers.
By that time the war was ott.; On
May 1 G. D. McKnight came to the
Charleston office and told J. H. Shaffer,
deputy administrator, and Agent
Seabrook that he "wouldn't have them
think that the McKnights made all i
the liquor in South Carolina." '
In proof he made a hurriedly
sketched map of other distilleries of
the neighborhood.
Agent Seabrook later' repaired to
Florence and returned with State
Constables Coleman and Lawrence as
reinforcements in the impending conquest
of "Hell Hole,"
The constables led the attack. They
paid the McKnights a call and secured
ample information for another'
haul of considerable proportions.
On the same day. ViHe Ponteaux,
destined to fall before the McKnight
assault a few days later, called at
the Charleston office and aslced the
agents to meet him on the following
morning. ,
The agents agreed that at the hour
set for the meeting found their visitor
with "the two Anderson boys,"
also familiar to' South Carolina authorities.
The outlaw* trio led the
way to the McKnight slector where
the agents added *a truclc, a touring
car and 101 gallons to their monthly
report blank.
The party went then to the residence
of Gene Bgs?-whore they took
185 gallons of whiskey; thence to
Sam Aey wood'sv home where they
made a master stroke, capturing 1,893
gallons of whiskey and 1,300 pounds
of sugar. Prom the Hey wood farm
they went to three other residences,
enhancing the day's work with each
call. v?' ...
- ' -r
in the meantime things were happening
at Charleston. While the
agents were stffl fcuay with the McKnight
Taids, the elder McKnight
himself, in company with one Jimmie
Hill, was at the prohibition headQuarters
"With a request for officers
b> conduct an invasion into the enemy
territory.
McKnight was told that the agent*
were all busy, the exact nature of
iheir business being withheld for qfe
v?ous reasons. He was invited to
call again the next morning, however.
The visitor declared emphatically that
wo.ld u?d MP on *. follow
.ing morning for the simple reason
that he would have every "grandfather,
son and grandson" in* jail by
that time.
Developments Friday included the
arrest of James Anderson for the
possession x>? whiskey and the discovery
that the contraband had been
"planted" on his property by enemies.
His arrest was the result of information
furnished by a member of the
McKnight clique. During the day
Ville Ponteaux told agents that he
had - been informed Tnat he couldn't
get officers to aid' in, his exploits
this side of Washington.
The cTimax was precipitated on the
following day .when, member* of the
Ville Pontefeux gang told officers
that there was work to be done on
their farms. In company with the
agents they went to the Ville Ponteaux
home where they found that
,G. D. McKnight, Sam McKnight,
Hughie McKnight and Jervie
Mitchum had carried the fight to the
firesides, cursed and abused the leader's
wife and administered a beating
to his younger brother.
The agents prevented an immediate
reckoning, persuading the angry
moonshiners to swear out warrants
and let the law take its course.
. The McKnight following, however,
anticipated the move and lay in ambush
until the enemy, armed to the
teeth, appeared along the road in an
automobile.
In the battle that followed Sam
McKnight and Mitchum were killed
and Ville Ponteaux fatally wounded,
later dying in a Charleston hospital.
Warrants were out yesterday for
the arrest of G. D. McKnight, Billy
Cumbahee, Sam Heywood and Gene
Best, whom authorities believe will
join their colleagues at the Charleston
jail shortly." Hints of a conspiracy
are eipbodied in an investigation
now being conducted, which
federal authorities believe will clear
the vicinity of bootlegging evil fox
some years to corns.'

8ENT TO LONG SLEEP
Nevada's Method of Doing Away
With Convicted Murderers
States Prison, Carson City, Nev.,
May 21,?Nevada forfeited the life
of a murderer today by lethal gas?
the commonwealth's form of capital
punishment. *
Stanko Jukich, 28, copper miner of
Ruth, Nevada, paid the extreme penalty
for the slaying last year of
Jennie Madck, his 16 year<eld sweetheart.
She had refused to carry out
a marriage pact arranged between
Jukich, herself and her parents. The
rspark of life vanished quickly from
the body of the condemned man.
Four nods of the head, stretched over
a period of two and one half minutes,
told a graphic story of the effectiveness
of the hydrocyanic acid sprayed
into the concrete death vault in which
Jukich sat strapped to a chair. No
torture of the body marked his passing,
in the opinion of spectators. If
there was any pain, Jukioh did not
betray it. His face remained calm,
a faint smile playing around his lips.
It seemed as though he simply
lulled into a de^p and restful sleep.
The charge of acid was pumped
into the chamber at 10:56 a.m., turning
Into gas immediately in ~ the
temperature of 80 degrees. As the
grayish fumes curled around his head,
Jukich inhaled deeply >and leaned forward.
Thirty seconds later he was
unconscious. Just two and one half
minutes from the 'time prison physicians
said that llfb was extinct.
Eyeballs rolling into tlie sockets conveyed
a message to the professional
men that a corpse was within the
room.
Jukich walked unfaltering to his
doom. As he neared the death house
he sang out cheerily, "Good-bye, boys,
i haven't lost my nerve. I'll save a
place' for you there."
He was bound to a chair inside and
the door was closed and sealed. A
slight hissing sound warned him that
the gas was entering the room and
he glanced up startled. At the same
time, he caught. sight of A woman
newspaper correspondent peering in
from the window and rewarded her
:with a smile and the words "good-bye,
girlie." With his next breath he
went into a coma and shortly after
was dead.
Despite precautions and efforts # to
hermetically seal the execution chamber
fumes from the deadly gas escaped
to spread an invisible but
threatening blanket around the building.
It failed, however, to provb a
deterrent to the ' 40-odd spectators
who crowded about the three observation
windows. ' A few experienced a
smarting of the eyes. One hour and
thirty miputes after Jukich had entered"
the death cell, his body was
removed and taken to the priso.i
morgue. A second cousin claimed ,it
and it will be buried Sunday at Carson
City.
It was the second time in the history
of the state that lethal gas had
been used to blot out the life of a
criminal.- This method of execution
was legalized in 1021.
Gave Convicts Chicken Dinner.
"In a coihmuhicartion addressed to
The Chronicle the guards and, prisoners
request this paper to publicly extend
thanks to Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
Johnson for providing a chicken dinner
for them.on Sunday, May 28rd.
Mr. Johnson is the caipp superintendent
and the prisoners and guards
hrere deeply appreciative of their
thoughtfulness and hospitality.

j i. C. Hough has been in office fines
j aggregating $680,00 have been im- 1
I posed on those convicted and pleading
guilty to violation of the various
city ordinances. Those who are made
to feel the heavy hand of the law
are those convicted of the illicit
traffic in liquor. In four instances
fines of $100 each have boon imposed
on liquor dealers?three white men
and one negro. There were six cases
of speeding within the city limits. In
five cases the penalty was $J5.00 and ,n
?ne ca8e IW.00. The recorder is
making $16.00 the minimum fine tor
speeding on Main or DeKalb street
for the first offense and those before
him on a second .charge will very
likely get a much higher fine. The
offenses included parking near

were acquitted, claiming they had
nothing to do with the case.
. 0nJ? ,of the hardest fought cases
heard before the recorder in many
months was that of L. M. Hall, MelTm,
* ' Arthur Sharpe, white, and
Jack Reed, negro, which occupied
nearly four hours of the court's time 1
aV* y mdrnin* had engaged

tried before a Jury composed of
Hughey Tindal, E. B. Buddin, J. O. ^
McfcasWll and W. C. Nicholson, who
found L. M. Hall guilty, but acquitted
Meivin Hall and the negrrc ~~Jack
Reed. The case will be appealed
to the circuit court.
Jim Haile, an old negro, who resides
in the vicinity of the old court
nouse, was found guilty of storing
whiskey and received a fine of $100.
Additional charges in the circuit /
court have been made against Meivin
Hall and Arthur Sharpe, who were
arrested Thursday last, charged with-?
transporting whiskey. Constable "
Stokes and Police Officer Hilton lay
in wait for them at the. Wateree *iver
bridge Wednesday night and before1*'
the car could be stopped the occu- '
pants made a mad get-away, break- .

amden. Pat Richardson, a negro,
jumped from the car and escaped,
but was later captured. Sharpe and
the negro are in jail but Hall put up
the necessary bond.
Following an attempt at arrest a
week or more ago in the northern
j part of the city, in which several
i Shots were fired at his car, James.
Brown, young white man, was arrested
in Rock Hill Monday by police in
that city and officers from Camden

bars loose and escaped. Twitty took
advantage of the opening and left
also, but later came up and paid his

charge made good his escape.
These stiff fines for bootleggers :
