Prisoner's Murder Captain Sanders Columbia. Dee. 13. ?Six desperate c*o:;\ict< wljo slew their hostage, the captain of the penitentiary guards after defying a dramatic iwo-uuiir plea to surrender by Governor Olin D Johnston, were thrown into "solitary" today to await an early trial. S her iff T Alex Heine announced that William B Woods, 24-year-old highway robber, confessed he was the one who stabbed the 61-year-old guard captain. Olin Sanders, yesterday hefore the convicts were routed from Sanders' office by National Guardsmen hurling tear gas sheila. Solicitor A. Fletcher Splgner said the six prisoners would be tried in January. The prisoners, pounded by clubs and billets as they stumbled from the victim's office, were treated at the prison infirmary and questioned for hours by the authorities before they were segregated in solitary cells. Pursuing his daily custom Captain Sanders had gone to his office in a building in the prison yard after breakfast. The six men. In the prison yard for the recreation period, approached him singly or in couples on the ruse of asking a favor in the office they overpowered him and demanded his automobile and passage out of the penitentiarv gate Captain Sanders whs unarmed, since r< gulations forbade carrying a gun into the prfton yard The first fhat the prison staff knew anything was wrens was whin Captain Sanders .called Corporal C. L. Chrlstrtlus of the prison guard, on duty in the yard, to the window of the office, Chrtatmus quoted Sapders as saying: "Charlie, these boys hare got me tied up in here. They have a gun In my ribs and want a car to, get out.** ' Prison officials said that Captafa Sanders had a standing order that ta l -, TrJ i Mra.

Corporal Chrlstmus reported the situation to Col. J. S. Wilson, the bo perintendent, who notified Governoi Oiln Johnston. Quickly more than 125 guards, constables, police and National Guardsmen were on the scene. Governor Johnston, rushing to the prison, talked to the convicts through a barred window of the captain's of flee and offered them Immunity from punishment if they would surrender. One of the felons shouted back: "Get us a car. Open the gates. Otherwise it'll be too bail foi Sanders." For two hours the youthful goverjf$ nor pleaded. "We'll stay here until hell freezes over." the convicts shouted back on one occasion. ________ Said the govocunr, relating the incident: "They could have shot me easily If they had had a gun, but I was anxious to do anything I could to save Captain Sanders' life. "I was only a few feet away from the men. 1 could see them plainly and they could see me. They had bt und Captain Sanders with hemp cord. One of the men was standing close behind Sanders. I suppose he had a knife in his back, but I couldn't see that." After the governor finished, Adjut ant General James C. Dozler begged in vain for Sander?' life. He warned the prisoners they couldn't possibly survive the fire of machine guns, rifles, pistols, hand gre nades and gas bombs that would meet any attempt to make a break. "To hell with you?go on and shoot all you?please. At another time a prisoner shouted back: 1 "We're in this iness and we're going to stay here until we get free We've everything to gain and nothing to lose " Dozler said he could hear Sandeis talking several times Once, said Dozler. he heard San ders, lying on the floor in his shirt sleeves say, "I'd like to live, and It there is any way you can get me out of here, sure would be glad. Two minutes after the first tear gas shell was hurled Into the room, a prisoner shouted: "We surrender For God's sake let us out!" One by one the convicts stumbled out, hands upraised. .On the floor lay Captain Sanders, bleeding profusely He died a few minutes later. Rov Powell, secretary to Governor Johnston, said that the officers agreed after the Incident that acceptance of the convicts' demands would not have saved Sanders. "They would have taken him with them and killed him anyhow," he said. Woods, native of Hlloxi. Miss , was . sentenced to ten years Trom Green-! ville county for two cases of highway robbery and larceny. Ho was admit- j ted to the prison A^ril 14, 1936. War caught trying to escape through adoor of the prison laundry last Jan uary 8. The other convicts were Herman Moo reman, 41, of Detroit, MldV; JT V. Batr,?87, of 8umUr, 8.

Balr, alias J ease Williams, escaped \ . < o UJiuHinstsn nra/A i ""v-"as T*W" ?wt i Washington, D. C., Dec. 11 l^te In the afternoon of Friday, December 10, the new Farm BUI wan passed by tbe House. The vote wan 268 to 129. The bill was up longer and more tboroly discussed than any bill hae been 8luce 1 came to Congresa. The chairman who presided over the committee of the whole house In its consider*, atloh of this bUl Btated that the bill's consideration took logger than any bill before congress in the past 24 years. This, In itself, is evidence of the seriousness of the firm problem. The passage of the house does not mean that its provisions will ba exacted into law, because there is another farm bill up before the senate for consideration. The senate bill has not passed yet, but in. case of its passage conferees will be appointed by the senate and by the house to iron out the difference. The conferonce report will then be presented to the house for adoption or rejection. Adoption by both houses means that the compromise bill will be enacted Into law. From this it can be seen why most of tho legislation under our system of Government, both state and federal, Is of a compromise nature. Just before final passage of tho farm bill one of the hottest fights , to ( come up in the house was on the amendment of representative Boileu, Progressive, of Wisconsin, to deny soil conservation payments to farmers, who plant dairy feed crops for market on lands withdrawn from soil depleting crops. The amendment won by 202 to 188, with practically all cotton-section farmers voting against It. If this amendment is not cut out in free conference many members, otherwise for the Farm Bill, will vote against the bill when it comes back to the floor of the house. The confusion irom the Florence county jail October 8, the day after he was sentenced to 1;"> years for burglary and larceny ,() run concurrently wit^h a ten year term for bank robbery. He was recaptured last month in New Braunsbel, Texas. The others were all serving terms for house breaking or larceny. The records of the convicts, besides ' Woods: Roy Settles, sentehced to 17 years from Greenville county for highway robbery and larceny, assault and battery with Intent to kill, carrying concealed weapons, admitted September 3, 1935. Clayton Crams sentenced to two years from Richland county for house breaking: admitted September 9. -Herbert Mooreman, senteiiced to ten years from Richland county fot' highway robbery and larceny; admitted January 14. 1936. George Wingard. sentenced to 18 months from Richland county for housebreaking and larceny; admitted September *9.-^ Governor Johnston said today. ."It looks like the convicts planned to get some of the other high officials of the penitentiary." He said he had information which showed the attempted escape had been planned well in advance. He said pieces of scissors and other sharp-pointed instruments had been found in Sanders' ofTlce. Corporal Chrlstmus reported a long knife was found on Woods. i Officers said the prisoners apparently planned to kidnap Sanders and take him with them. The building In which they overpowered Sanders was only about 50 yards from the main, gates of the penitentiary. j It was learned from air authoritative source that a note passed from the "leader" of the six to the others in the prison dining room showed the plan was to make a getaway while tho other prisoners were coming out (nto the yard. This, .it was said by this source, would undoubtedly have precipitated an attempt at a general exodus. Adjutant General Dozler said the tear gas was used after all other means of saving Sanders were exhausted. He said he had hopod tho sextet could be rendered helpless before they could harm Sanders, but that they had already killed him. The lasV. serious trouble with prisoners at the state penitentiary was on May 8, 1922. A prisoner was kr!ed? and 14 injured in tho mutiny of about 160 convicts. -I The prisoners, armed with brickbats* sticks and knives, lined up 1n Smp79t the ebafr factory, operated by prison labor within tbe penitentiary walls, sad announced their re^Captain~Siindera bod bean captain of the prison guard force since 1927. : 'wtr: V ^ " ' and digaatlsfacMon caused by adoption of thlH amendment greatly elated Republic au leadership of the house, which has been trying in every way possible to scuttle the .whole bill since it was first introduced. Recently in ray weekly news letter 1 detailed the salient provisions of the farm bill as Introduced. The bill still contains most of these provisions. One amendment added, however, was that no farmer, o^ner or tenant, could be cut below an allowance of 1,500 pounds of lint cotton. Chairman Jones, of the committee on agriculture, agreed to this amendment and presented it himself as a compromise growing- out of several amendments that had been prepared along this l)ne for presentation to the house. The bill, as ,Anally passed-by the nouse, still provided for a cultivated acreage basis, for provision for loans which will run year after year a9 a permanent policy rathpr than as a yearly proposition, a provision for research to find other uses agricultural products may be put to, a provision for mandatory use of the funds made available for exports and wider distribution at home, a provlsloil for attacking the discrimination'in freight rates. To be perfectly frank, many of our farmers are going to be disappoipted with the results of this bill next year. However, it is a better bill than anything had heretofore along this line and I belieVe will do much good if allowed to continue for several years. We face a great surplus of million^ and millions of bales of cotton for next year" and In view of present wosld conditions J would advise our farmers not to expect a great rise in prices for 1938. ?ur cotton problem cannot be settled ih one year. It is a long range proposition. The deBired. result Is parity prices for farm products. The parity cptton price Is 16.6 cents per pound. This price can be immediately obtained only by direct payments to farmers to offset tariff imposed handicaps, and at the same time wo could Immediately reduce our surplus by competing on a free world market. Congress is not yet ready to take action so we must accept the next best thing.
