Guilty Plea Epds
Trial Of English
Florence, April J.? Frank English's
trial for the $114,000 robbery of the
Palmetto Hank of Lake City came to
an abrupt halt four hours after it
began in General Sessions Court to<!ay
when he pleaded guilty to three !
counts.
The 25-yeer-old Texan, who isj
wan tod in that State to complete a
2b-yca.r .se.ntcmxj for murder submit-J1
ted through his attorney to counts i
of simple kidnaping, larceny and !
breaking and entering a bank build- I
ing with intent to steal.
.Judge T. S. Sease announced he
would sentence English later in the '
week. The possible maximum sen- j
fence is 40 years.
Announcement of English's will- |
ingness to plead guilty to the three
counts was made by former Senator!
('ole L. Hlease, who was retained '
along with Fre?l Hominick, former!'
<'ongivsMiian to defend English'-wife,
Geneva, who is accused as an '
accomplice in the robbery.
ludge Sease announced later today |
that the trial of Mrs. English would !
begin tomorrow morning.
The dozen State patrolmen station-: i
ed at vantage jnvints in the courtroom!,
as a precaution against what officers)
termed "possible" efforts of friends j
of English to liberate him, will re- j
main during the woman's trial.
\Vhen English's case was calied to
trial in the forenoon, neither HI case,
nor Dominick, who were in the court l
room, ap|H?ared for the prisioner and)
In- announced he would conduct his,
own defense. There was no state-'
incnt from either attorney as to why
they did not appear for him.
On arrangement, English pleaded
"mute" hut it was entered in the
revolt I as a plea of not guilty when .
Judge Sease informed him there was
no provision in South Carolina law i
for that plea.
A jury of 1 1 farmers ami a clerk
wa-. selected in. nine minutes ami J. '
Hovt Carter, president of the bank,1
called by the State as its first wit- i
i
ness.
Carter retold the story of the rob-,
berv and identified English, a pale
red-haired man of medium build, as i
one of the three men who came to;
hi< home about 7 a. m. last S< p; ember
*>. tied his two childien ti> ieir
in :> ai.d abdu-ted him and hi.- .rife.
From their home Mr. and drs.
i arte: were taken to the bank w ..ere
i.c bard;:.- said they inter.dou to.
:".?rce lite former to open. the v.iult.
They found upon arriving, iiowi ver,
that Ca.-hier Fred Stalvey had un-'
locked the \ault.
At pistol point Staivcy was lore- .
cd to fill a pillow case with currency
from the vault and. then he and
.Mr. and Mrs. tarter were ordered
:n t o t hv' bn mlits' car.
A short distance from the bank,
Mrs. Carter was reloaded. but Cart?,*?
and Stalve.v were carried to a
point near Lamar. 40 miles Tom
Lake City, where they were released
unharmed. j

BKAMGL'AKD IS DEFEATED
Columbia. Maroh '?H.?J. E. Beamguard,
of Clover, chairman of tlic
public utilities commission, was defeated
for reelection on 'the commission
by J. C. Darby, of Winnsboro,
r.o\s reading dork of the house, Kb to
711 on the final ballot.
Which is another illustration of two
maxims of South Carolina politics, A
present, active member of the legislativc
club here has an advantage
over a former solon. When a jiolitician
once meets defeat, the crowd
leaves him and hurries to where the
band wagon is located.
Commissioner Boamguard was a
jxqfUlar member of the legislature in
former years ami easily got what he
wanted for the last dozen yearn, from
his fellow solonw. But a new generation
is liere now, ami the reading
clerk of the house is in evidence almost
every hou|r of the session?
and this one is a good one.
Commissioner Beamguard was a
candidate for congress in his home
district last year, ami Congressman
Richards beat him a mile, or two in
the rare. Which made it easy for
these solori'.s to believe that nothing
could happen to them for voting
against t-lu- oldtimer.
The new member of the public util-v
ities commission acceded to the request
of the house., in a resolution,
that he remain as reading clerk, until
the present session ends, and he
will not take?his new office until then
?which may be a long time. The
commission was recently renamed,
and it is the sa>me old railroad commission
with another cognomen.
Representative It. If. Hildebrand, of
Beam guard's own county, placed him
it) nomination before 'the balloting
began. It took three ballots to make
the election, although vacancies in
other districts were quickly filled by
ifee looting present members in the
commission. It will elect its new
chairman at its first mooting after
CommmLssioner Darby ciualifies an<l
takes his sent.
When the sixth district was reachid
in the l>all<>ting here, Senator
Brasington of Kershaw county, nominated
D. M. McCaskill of Kershaw
County; Representative J. P. Isenhower
of Fairfield, nominated Mr.
Darby; Representative R. B. liilde:>rand
of York, nominated Mr, Beamguard
for reelection and Senator J.
M. Wise of Chester, nominated J. (J.
Jordan, a member of the house from
Chester.
The vote on the first ballot was:
McCaskill. 7; Darby 50; Beamguard,
[51; Jordan, Tl. As 77 votes were re
quired, no election resulted. .Senator
Brasington withdrew the name of Mr.
McOaskill.
On second ballot: Darby, 68; Heamguard,
70; Jordan, 16. As 78 votes
were required, there was again no
election. Senator Wise withdrew the
name of Mr. Jordan.
Third ballot: Darby, 86; Beamguard,
72. Announcements by the presiding
officer, Senator Edgar A.
Brown, of the election of Mr. Darby
was received with applause.
The term is two years, and several (
members of the commission have
their terms expired now. Elected on
the first ballot, all reelect ions, were
John ('. Coney of Ileevesville, first
district; B. J. Bearman of Starr, third
district and J. W. Wolfe of Spartanburg.
fourth district.
The man who defated Beamguavd
is a native of Winnsiboro, and a
World war veteran.
