Will Make Improvements
Mayor C. P. DuBpse is planning to
have the city prison remodeled. At
present the building is too small' and
in a way unsanitary. It is planned
to make the building larger and
higher and give -it more ventilation.
At present they have'^no way of
segregating the races, and thosO who
are so unfortunate as to -have to be
sent to prison have to be huddled together
in a small place. Improvements
will also be made in the sanitary
arraqgeiiients.
Observance, of Independence
Plans are 'being formulated for the
observance of the Sesqui-Centennial
of American Independence1 and the

fourth. This movement- is being
sponsored by the American Legion,
Daughters of the American Revolution,
Chamber of, Commerce, the
mayor and city of Camden, and further
announcements for the observance
of this day Will be giveft in
the next isspeof The Chronicle.
Turkey Spells "Trouble To Truesdell
The killiyg of a 'Wild turkey hen

farm of W. H. Kirkbrlde to get into
trouble. Last Friday it was reported

the man bad killed a turkey hen with
a brood of eight young .turkeys. The
young turkeys nearly half grown

The Kirkbride farflrl is located on the
east side of the Wateree swamp and
it is said wild turkeys are plentiful

minister under charges
Dr. Chappell of Asheville to Face
Church Court
(Saturday^ Charlotte Observer)
Rallying around the standard of
their discomfited leader, members of
the Central Methodist church and
their friends t&day advanced to t^e
support of Rev Dr. Ashley Chappell,
pastor of the church, one of the city's
most fashionable, who is facing
charges of immorality following his
arrest in an alleged house of bad repute
in Memphis during the Methodist
general conference there last
month. Dr. Chaippell will be given
a hearing at Statesville before thirteen*
chosen ministers of the conference
on June 20. The decision of this
body will m all likelihood be final,
although it must be passed on by the .
genera) conference.
Dr. Chappell issued a statement to
the press today asking that his
friends stand by hfcm until full light
can be thrown on the matter, and
reiterated- his innocence of any
wrongdoing or intent to do wrong..
Publication of the case was made
this afternoon in Asheville for the
first time, after papers in other cities
of the state had printed it this morning.
While the rumor had spread
largely in the cRy, thousands were
aken by surprise, and all of those tfjiproached
refused to lend credence to
the charges.
_ On the night df his arrest, May 8,
Dr. Chappell claims he was taking his
regular everfing stroll and wandered
into ? disreputable section of Memphis
without knowing it. He maintains
that his truss, which he is forced
to wear by a severe rupture, slipped,
and he stepped into what appeared to
be a store doorway to readjust it. He
there met a negro woman, and asked
to enter, stating his predicament.
Shortly afterward, while he wass rearranging
his clothing, he said, the
ponce raided the house, and arrested
him, along with several negro girl inmates.
He claims to have been mistreated
hy the officers making the arresW
and for that reason refused to
give his right name.
Dr. Chaippell saw. newspaper n\en
today, but refused to make any states
mebt above what has been given. His
wife, however, expressed the utmost
confidence in her husband, and declared
that he was being "maliciously
crucified/' Practically all" officers of
the local church have been seen and
declare; that they are solidly behind
the pastor. In showing this, bis salary
is being continued during the period
of suspension which was automatic
with the investigation by the
church. *
A statement in which he said, ^1 am
absolutely innocent of any purpose of
wrongdoing," vfes issued today by
Dr. Chappell. ~
The minister said that "when the
whole truth of what actually happened
there is known it will appear in a
very different light and I feel sure
the. public will thoroughly understand
my position."
Dr. ChappelPs /statement was as
follows
"In view of what has been published.
in the hewspapers I desire to say
to my friends in Asheville and to the
public in general that the happenings
in Memphis We* exceedingly unfortunate
and embarrassing but I am absolutely
innocent of any purpose* of
wrong doing. When the whole truth
of what actually happened there, is
known, it will appear in a jvery different
light, and I feel sure the public
will thoroughly understand my position.
I therefore request everyone
to be patient and sympathetic until
the matter can foe-cleared up."

(Friday's Columbia State.)
Julius H. Mancke, known as "Bub",
Mancke, was declared not . guilty of
a charge of murder, 15 minutes after
the case went to the jury yesterday!
afternoon in Richland general sessions
court. The trial lasted but a
few hours, ending shortly before 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon. It was
begun shortly before the noon recess
of court.
Mancke's trial for murder was a
result of the shooting and killing of
John Gurui <loau in a room in a local
hotel, Tuesday night, June 8. Mancke
was arrested after the shooting and
charged with the killing. When arrested
he was in a condition of stupor
and remained in tfcat condition for
several hours.
The defense yesterday made po attempt
to deny the killing but based
its case upon temporary insanity
brought about by the excessive use of J
a hypnotic drug and the drinking of
whiskey. Mancke took the stand in his'
own defense and Swore he knew nothing
whatever of the killing. Ha said
that he did not even know he h^d killed
John Girardeau, who, he declared,
was his best friend, until the morning
after the tragedy, In his testimony of
incidents leading up to the shooting,
he told the court that during the afternoon
preceding the tragedy, he had
been in extremely weak and nervous
condition, and while on "a return trip
from Red Bank, where he had been
visiting a friend, had taken two or
three drinks of whiskey. Before that;
while on the visit and alto while returning,
in an effort to ease his nerves
he had taken several tablets of the
drug. He said he was suffering from
tuberculosis, which was evident a? he
appeared in the court room, thin, and
nervous.
? Mancke said he remembered coming
toward Columbia from Red Bank, and
that recalled -that he "took a drfnk of,
whhricey-on this gidOUf theriver
bridge. He .explained that it had been
a long time since he had taken a
drink, being in an ill . condition of
health and under medical treatment,
but that he was so weary and sick on
that ddy he thought a drink of whiskey
might bolster him Up as he once
was a regular drifiker. After the
prinking of whiskey near Columbia,
he said that he had no remembrance
of subsequent happenings; that he did
not kimwdf having met up with John
Girardeau. He recalled" having, seen
him some three or four dpys. prior to
the shooting.
As to the pistol, Mancke admitted
he had one in his;possession on the
the afternoon prior to the shooting.
He testified that being in a sick and
weak condition and carrying with him
a sum of money, he, carried the pistol
for his own protection as he was going
into ejection in which he had not
beep before and in which he knew but
a few persons. He said the pistol
had been in his trtink for months,
wrapped in a newspaper,>nd that he
placed' the weppon in his pocket still

VISIT AFTER MANY YEARS.
Louisiana Veteran Left This County
Sixty-Three Yeats Ago.
Crowley, La., June 19.?The call to
arms under the Confederate flag took
John "Dad" Brunaon away from hit
family 63 years ago and now the call
of kinship is taking the 78-year-old
veteran of Vermillion pariah back to
his birthplace at Camden, S. C.
Brunson will visit his sister, only
surviving j^embor of the family
there. ,/ !
At the age of 15, Brunson ran away 1
from home, leaving his mother and
four sisters at the South Carolina
home. He joined the Confederate
army and served the last 3 years of 1
the war under Colonel Bound,^ 28th' J
South Carolina regiment. He wa<T*
wounded in battle. After demobilization
he went to Texas and then came ]
to Louisiana. For 25 years he has
lived in this community and 15 years ;
ago he married Miss Ida Landry of
Leroy. He has operated a blacksmith
shop at Leroy. A few months
ago "Dad" became siok and feeling
that his health was failing he began !
to Inquire about the whereabouts of
his family. Last month the sheriff
of Kershaw county, at Camden, S. C.,
located his only surviving sister, now '
70 years old, and the mother 'of nine
children. Correspondence between
brother and sister followed and now
"Dad" is preparing to leave July 1st
for South Carolina. Friends have arranged
transportation at half price
and have contributed liberally to a
purse to care for the expenses of the
trip.
Mr. Brunson is a (brother of Mrs.
Jack Bailey, who with her daughter,
Mrs. C. E. Lamoy, conducts the DeKalb
boarding house on Def^alb
street. The inquiry as to Mr. Brunson^
relatives went to Sheriff Hunter
of Lancaster, who turned the Inquiry
over to Sheriff . Welsh. Mrs; !
Bailey formerly resided in Lancaster.
