Bickley, house tie- a lective for the Jefferson hotel, Co- 1 lutnbia, was shot to death at the side I entrance of the hotel, Charles K. I Vaughn, 31, was urrested here this ; afternoon. He readily admitted his < identity. 1 Handbills bearing Vaughn's prison 1 photograph told Savannah police that ) if he were located "take no chances, i Arrest for rpurder and hold." A squad ' uf six men, Chief of Detectives John J C. McCarthy, Detectives T. F. Ward, G. W. Slocum and Patrolman C. A. I Barbee, W. T. Mitchell and Charles 1 Dee, went to the house where Vaughn ' was supposed to be at noon today. ' The fugitive had arrived in Savan- * nah Saturday from Baltimore and ! was at the home of a woman said to ' be a sister to the woman, Helen i Gentle, police of Colum'bia are now * holding. Three of the arresting 1 squad went to the back of the house * in which Vaughn was supposed to be ( hiding, and three tackled the front 1 way. The door at the front entrance ' has glass on the upper half, and ( Vaughn, fully clothed, was able to ( jee the men at the door when they 1 knocked. Instead of answering the * iummons, he made a dive for the { 'ear door, and was corralled by Of- 1 ficer Mitchell, a 200-pounder. Awara 5 )f the character of the man they had 1 jnder arrest, police said, they took ( io chances, and thoroughly searched ' lim for pistols or other weapons, but c lone was found, neither on his per- 1 ion nor later in his baggage. Vaughn, also known under the Hisses, J. C. Sherman, J. C. Wilson 1 xnd other names, was wearing a dark ; ilue serge suit, a dark overcoat and * )lack derby hat when arrested. A ^ eporter went to see him in the poLice cell-house, and Vaughn, who stands nearly six feet tall, had to ( stoop to come out of the cell when . :he barred door was opened for him r :>y a turnkey. On Vaughn's head, } :he black derby, at a slightly rakish ( ingle, still rested. A young mus- t :ache, half grown, was on his upper r lip. Asked several questions, the t man proved reticent. I "Did you know Bickley?" he was asked. There was a pause, a side- ( long glance, and then he replied: 4<I t [flight have known him." \ "Where have you been since the T lappening in Columbia?" the report- t ?r queried. j "I don't feel good, partner. I don't ] want to talk," came the answer, and j hen, "I was in so many places I ^ ion't remember them all." "You won't make any kind of a ( statement then?" his questioner ^ isked, and Vaughn replied: "I'd t ather not. I would't be doing justice o myself. Anyway, my mind is all j ihot to pieces. t "I'm sick" were his closing words, ] ind then he asked permission to go j ,o the end of the corridor for a drink >f water. He was expected to leave j his city tonight. Detective Richard- . ion of Columbia has been in Savan- " lah several times since the killing ?f Bickley, on the lookbut for Vaughn ^ is it was suspected that he might ome here. r. Vaughn left Savannah at 8:45 r clock tonight in custody of South Carolina State Detectives J. W. Rich- o irdson, W. H. Rawlinson and V. J. a t fhayrl, traveling in n sedan automo>ile. li i? Mrs. Annie Allen Lee Dead. h Mrs. Annie Allen Lee, who died in t , Sumter hospital on Saturday, was Sunday afternoon placed at rest by p he side of her late husband, E. C. lj ^ee, whose interment took place in he Antioch Baptist church cemetery, tear this city, three weeks ago. ^ Mrs. Lee was sixty-one years of h ge and throughout her life spent in F he Dalzell section of Sumter county ^ he had gained numbers of loving j riends who are grieved at her death. g< he was a member of the Baptist hurchN and her pastor, Rev. Mr. lorse of the First Baptist church of 0 iumter. C Surviving are the following sons & nd daughters: Vernon Lee, Columia; Lucian Lee, Sumter; -Mrs. J. F. ]3 kfElflw, Elmira*, N.

C., : und a negro boy traveling with him in a Hudson sedan sto>pped on the side of the road to wait on a com panion. $ Smith and the negro boy, whose last name could not be learned but whose first name was Jacko and hi* nome was in Kutawville, N. C., were traveling to Columbia in the closed ?ar. Their companion, Nv O. Johnion, of North Carolina, was traveling : Ix'hind them in another car. Smith : ind the negro boy, ahead of Mr. Johnson, evidently decided to stop by the side of the road and wait on the Jther car. I'ossibly because it was mid and they believed the running motor would help generate heat, they eft the engine running and the lights ' jn. They reckoned not with a broken, ?xhaust pipe that allowed theAieadly 1 fumes to seep into the car. Maybe ' hey fell asleep there by the side of , 1 M :he road; at any rate, jvhen Mr. , Johnson came along and saw the car stopped he got out to speak to the wo boys. As he opened the tightly j dosed door, a small cloud of light )lue smoke belched forth from the ! ar and settled in the early morning rir. The boys were unconscious and when examined by Dr. Gregory, of Kershaw, a few mniutes later, were ! aronounced dead. Thinking, however, that, possibly [ iome medical aid at the disposal ofJ Columbia hospitals could restore life ' ;o the two bodies, Mr. Johnson hur- ied the dead men to Columbia. His efforts were of no avail. The cnr;tJ carrying ^ie lifeless bodies arrived n Columbia about 8 o'clock. Sheriff T. Alex Heise and Chief J. D. Dun- i laway, of the rural police, hurried i he bodies to Dr. A. E. Shaw. A horough examination showed that ' nothing could be done for the carbon monoxide victims, and Dr. Shaw also ' jronounced them dead. 1 Coroner J. B. Scott was notified at 1 >nce and a second examination showid the bodies free from any visible ^ njuries. The coroner announced that 1 io inquest would be held, unless it is 1 he wish of Kershaw county author- J ties as the boys died in that county.* ' Kershaw authorities were notified 1 Friday morning of the death of the : wo and they gave no indication that iny inquest would be held, as Dr. 1 Gregory's examination had disclosed 1 he same information as the examina- ! ion given here. Undertakers said that Smith ap- ' >eared to be about 20 years old, while 1 he negro boy's age was about 18 o?* * 9 years old.?Friday's Columbia 1 tecord. J 1 Would Direct Travel Iver U. S.

The bodies of his family could be seen through the open window of the kitchen but could not be reached until the flames died down. In the face of persistent questioning, Jacob stoutly maintained his innocence Mud denied all knowledge of the crime. He told officers he was jiwakened some time after midnight uy stifling smoke and made his way downstairs to his mother's bedside.. He found his mother's body1 on the bed, he said, and called for his father. When he received no reply, he said he dragged the suitcase near the door and fled from the houge.

Jacob was held pending an inquest at If) o'clock tomorrow. Marty Cases of *Flu In and Near Camden Conservative estimates of cases of influenza in and adjacent to Camden places the number at around fifteen hundred. This takes in the two mill villages, Camden and the adjacent territory served by local physicians. The local hospital is said to be filled to overflowing and nurses from other cities have been called here. There is not a family, office, shop, bank, or business enterprise that has not had one or more victims on the sick list for a time. The Chronicle, like the banks and other places of business, has been handicapped for the past week with two members of its force on the sick list. Local physicians have been going nightcand day on errands of succor to those afflicted, but luckily none of :he doctors have been afflicted so far The disease this year is not as viruent a type as was that of 1918 when leath took such a heavy toll: Some ew cases have resulted fatally where pneumonia followed, but most - of .hese fatalities have been reported rom the rural districts.
