and placed the body between the
mattress and springs and saturated
the mattress with kerosene from the
large lamp on the table and struck
a match and soon the house was a
mass of flames. He stated that.:'he

Dorchester GUiseae Make Charges
Against Former Sheriff /
Columbia, May 24.?Charging former
Sheriff "Bossy" Litnehouse with
having inspired if not written anon-*
ymous letters that have been received
by a number of prominent men and
women of Dorchester county, in many
cases threatening Uvea, a group of
citizens from St. George and vicinity
appeared <before Governor Richards
today and declared that' they regarded
the former sheriff, now u detective
for the governor, as a menace to law
enforcement in their county.
The governor assured the delegation
that he would look' thoroughly
into the matter and if he found the
charges true would cancel the commission
of the officer.
W. B. Tarkington, editor of the
Dorchester Countyj Eagle, told Governor
Richards that he would file an affidavit
that Liihehouse since becoming
constable has made threat*
against his life. The governor agreed
that if the affidavit was sustained
and the charges proved, Limehouse
is not a fit person to wear the badge
[of stiite constable.
Anonymous letters, postmarked
from Charleston, May 21, were re;
ceived by the Dorchester county
citizens Wednesday. In each of the
letters mention was made of the coming
trial of George Groom, self confessed
slayer of Deputy Sheriff
Creighton Pontel. The writer advised
that persons seeking to bring the
man to trial would do well to halt
[their activities.
I The" letters are filled with obscene
.language, directed at the persons to
mirrrTw?m*"8
whom addressed, several of thom women.
Dorchester county citizen* who
have received the letters are enraged
about the proceedings, Sheriff Jeaaen
told Governor Richards during the
conference.
"Anyone can analyse these letters
and reach a pretty good conclusion as
to who is back of them," the Dorchester
sheriff told the governor.
"The result is going to be bloodshed
in mp county, because the decent
and respectable people there are not
going to couutenance such goings on.
I have tried to maintain law and
order since election to the of Ace of
sheriff but I want to tell you, sir,
that you can expect anything from
Dorchester county." *
Senator R. Lon Weeks, who arranged
the conference with the governor
declured that ,the personnel of the
governor's appointment of several
men to the of Ace of cordHcble of the
county had been resented by a largo
majority of the citizens.
"Our visit here today is not only (
to complain to you of the anonymous
letters which have been received by
j citizens of the. county but to appraise
you of the general condition
of uffairs in Dorchester county," Mr.
Weeks said.
Governor fyichards described the
Dorchester county matter as a "very
unfortunate political situation." He
declared that no one had ever approached
him in regard to the Groom
case, and that he could not understand
a reference in the letters to the
governor pardoning Groom if he is
convicted.
