j Walhalla Lynching
i Trial Is Postponed
W ulhulla, May ?Postponement
until July of the trial of 17 Oconee
county myn, among whom were May?"
K. VV. Hallentiue and Night Policeman
Alvon Jones of Walhalla, indic
U*d late today in connection with
the lynching of Allen Green, 50year-old
negro and the attacking of
Sheriff John Thoijias brought to a
quick end the special term of sessions
court, convened here this morninf
by Judge E. C. Dennis to try
the lynching cases.
Charges against the 17 defendants
included murder, conspiracy to
murder, assault and battery with intent
to kill, robbery and conspiracy
to rescue a prisoner.
Green, the negro victim, was taken
from the Oconee county jail on
the night of April 23, after upward
ot 100 men had forced entry into
the jail and t/dkxxiod^-itf a wooded
spot on the bunk of a branch some
| two miles from Walhalla, where
volleys of bullets were poured into
1 his body after he had been tidd Jo
a tree. Sheriff John Thomas, who
| with his son, lOugene, attempted to
hult the mob at the jail, was hit
I on the head with a pistol butt and
: his skull fractured.
Green was being held on a charge
of criminal assault on a young
white woman and was awaiting trial
when the mob took matters into its
ha nd.
Continuance of the trial until July
7 was asked by Mendel L. Smith
of counsel for the defense because
of the fact 13 out of the 17 defendants
had not been arrested until
the time of their indictment this
afternoon by the grand jury and
had had insufficient time to prepare
themselves properly.
The seventeen defendants against
whom true bills were returned this
afternoon about 4 o'clock after the
grand jury had been considering
the indictments about three hours
were: Mayor R. L. Ballentine, of
Walhalla; John Sanders, textile operative
at Walhalla; Nelson Matheson,
Westminster filling station operator;
J. L. Harris, Walhalla textile
operative; Dock Carver, Walhalla
textile operative;v John Stevens,
Oconee farmer; Tilman Laird,
Oconee farmer; Harold Matheson,
Westminster filling station operator;
Grady Lee, of Westminster;
t-William Smith, Westminster ice
plant employee; Will Elrod; Mitch
Lee, Walhalla blacksmith; Alvon
Jones, Walhalla night policeman;
Jake Wilbanks; Joe McCall, Jr.,
textile operative; Ibra Patterson;
Pete Epps, textile operative
Bail for the defendants in the
sum of $2,500 was agreed upon and
set by the court for the murder
charge and a like sum for the lesser
charges. It was thought that most
of these named in the indictments
would be able to arrange bond
promptly.

home in Greenville was authorized
Friday by a jury in the common pleas
court when it returned a verdict for
the plaintiff in the case of th? Norwood
National Bank, of Greenville,
as trustee, against W. L. Gassaway
and Minnie Quinn Gassaway. Mrs.
Gassaway contended that she signed

of threats that her husband would
be prosecuted for shortages in his
accounts at the Isaqueena mill, of
which he was president. The mortgage
was given as security for the
shortage.

Bi? Whiskey Haul;
Goes Up In Smoke
Km, kirighain, May 23.?A fjuartei 1
tiiili.uii dollars worth of whiskey was 1
poured out and burned by Sheriff
J. S. Kruswell at Hamlet this morning
following seizure yesterday of the
shipment of two ears, estimated at
10,(MM) gallons, in the Seaf>ourd railway
yards.
The liquor was loaded on a siding
about .10 miles from Charleston and
billed to Brooklyn. The contents
were listed on the bill of lading a.mouldor's
clay and weight given for
each car at <><>,000 pounds, which at
11 pounds to the gallon, would make
the seizure nearer 12,000 gallons
than 10,000.
Deputy Sheriff Lawience Mel>an
in 40me way "smelled a rut" Thursday
and notified Sheriff Kraswell of
his suspicions. A search warrant
w as secured' and thq,,?wo cars opened
At the entrance of the cai> was piled
big sacks of moulder's clay and after
these were removed there was
disclosed hundi^tls of cases of hottied
in bond whiskey, each case neatly
packed in gunny sacks. Six quarts
and 12 pints were said to l>e in
each case, the bottled bearing a label
"Made in Montreal." The name of
the whiskey was "Golden Wedding."
The officers sealed the cars, set a
guard over them for the night and
this morning proceeded with the
work of destruction. The cars were
shifted to a siding on a steep fill, a
huge fire made at the bottom and
the cases dumped on to this fire
and consumed.
Gathered around with watery
mouths and hungry eyes were scores
of spectators viewing the consumption
by fire of around 10,000 gallons
of whiskey which, in the course of
business, would probably have sold
for a quarter of a million dollars in ,
Brooklyn and New York.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa., May 23.?A
triple murder and a suicide were discovered
today on the farm of Ernest
L. Snyder, 60 wealthy fruit grower
at Harding on the Sullivan trail near
here.

Heavy losses in the stock market are
said to have driven him to desperation.
Wounded Seagull Finds Home
Far away from its home on the Atlantic
ocean, a seagull, wounded,
homesick and lonesome, broods in a
cage here at the home of D. T. Woods,
Jr. The big bird was captured last
week by Harry Miller of the Union
section, following a storm in which
it had been blown inland. It was suffering
from gunshot wounds in the
body when Mr. Miller noticed it in a
field and captured it. An uninjured
gull that was with it flew away. The
captive bird here is being tenderly
cared for and everything done to restore
it to health and strength. If
it recovers from its injuries, Mr.
Woods intpnds to release it and hopes
it will wing its way back to the Atlantic.?Fort
Mill Times.

Would You Know One
If You Saw It?
If you ever came face to face with
n germ, would you recognize it? Of
course it is not likely that you ever
will see a germ, unless you own a
tremendously powerful microscope,
for you would nave to magnify one
over a thousand times to make it
us bTjpas a pin head. Rut you should
recognize the fact that these tiny
germs can get into your blood
streams through the smallest cut.
and give you typhoid fever, tuberculosis,
lockjaw, blood poisoning, and
many more dangerous and perhaps
fatal diseases. There is one sure
safeguard against these dangers?
wash big, every cut, no matter how
small, thoroughly with Liquid Borozone,
the safe antiseptic. You can
get Liquid Borozone at DeKalb
Pharmacy, Camden, S. C.
