to this game Gertrude

Six Men To Die
In Electric Chair
Columbia, Jun 22.?A verdict carrying
the death penalty for all six
defendants was returned today four
and a hulf hours after the Jury retired
to consider testimony in the uiur-,
der of Guard Captain J Olfu Bandera
in a daring attempt at escape from
the state penitentiary December 12.
At 4:31 p. in. the Jury returned a
verdict of guilty of murder without
recommendation to mercy.
Attorneys for the defense nerved
notice of motions for new trials immediately
after the verdict was road. |
The case, trial of which commenced
Tuesday, weut to the Jury at 12: 0f>
p. m., following tiie completion of arguments
and the Judge's charge.
Mrs. OUn Banders, widow of the
slain guard captain, heard the verdict
I announced. Mrs Hoy Buttles, of
Simpsonvtlle, wife of one of the defendants,
wept.
Buttles, however, answered the verdict
with a smile. J. V .Halrt of Slimier,
another defendant, who sat next
to him, put liis arm around Sutih s,'
whispered something In his ear and
both men smiled.
The other convicts, William IS.
Woods, of Diloxi, Miss., the confessed
ringleader of the escape plot, Her
bert Moorman of Detroit. Mich., Clay-1
ton Crans, of Rochester, N. Y , and I
George Wiuggrd, of Columbia, were'
palpably pale and nervous but showed
no other reactions.
The Jury decision was received
quietly by a crowded courtroom after
stern Judge Featherstone warned:
"I want perfect quiet while the verdict
is received and afterwards I
don't want the slightest demonstra
tlon of auy kind."
Testimony of the state's witnesses
and of the defendants themselves agreed
In its uit^lu details of the attempted
escape, tint the prisoners
gave conflicting testimony us tw who
uctually dealt the death blow
Woods shouldered the toll blaiuo
for hatching up the plot to osi^mc and
for stabbing Sanders with a makeshift
Ice-pick-like instrument, hut j
Wlngard said Suit Ion also stntthed the!
guard.
After the verdict was announced,
the Judge told Sheriff T. Alex litise
and his officer*;
"Gentlemen, take charge of tho
prisoners " The sextet was lmintul
ately manacled with handcuffs fastened
to heavy leather belts about their
waists.
Officers at the Richland county jail
said Wtngurd. Crans and Moormnu
were being held there and that Ilalr,
Woods and Sullies had been carried
to the penitentiary. All will have to
appear In court for sentencing.
According to the testimony at the
trial, the six convicts went to ("apt I
Sanders office In the penitentiary
yard about 8:30 on the pretext that
they had matters to take up with Iron
Once inside they tied him up and
forced him to call othe" guard officers
and transmit the prisoner's demands
for an automobile and unmolested
passage through the prison gates.
The convicts were armed with a
wooden gun, which Woods testified
he carved, and improvised daggers
made from scissors and odd pieces o.f
metal. Officers on the outside did not
know how heavily armed tho men
were.
Governor Olin Johnston was notified
and Adjutant General James C.
Dozler appeared on tho scene with in
company of National Guardsmen. |
Roth Joined penitentiary officers
in pleading with tho men to surrender
and release Sanders but without sue-'
cess. \ i
i

"If you don't bring the car around
we'll kill Cupt. Sunders," witnesses
quoted the convicts hh saying.
When persuasion failed, Dozler and
state constable Frankie Meyer fired
gas shells into the room. A smoke
bomb was shot first to darken the
room and was followed by tear and
nausea gas. The men staggered out
one by one.
All of the (lofendunts testified they
were struck'by guards as they came
out. "We expected to be shot down,"
one of them testified.
The men were serving sentences
ranging from 18 months to 17 years.
REPORT OF FOREST FIRES"
IN CAMDEN FOREST DISTRICT
Statistics recently compiled in the
Camden District office of the South
Carolina State Forest Service indicate
| that 169 uncontrolled tires burned
j over acres of the 1,033,053 acres
of woodland uniler slate cooperative
protection in the Camden District dur-,
iitir the six month period ending Jam
j uary I. 1 DCS.
j the area under protection in the
! Caiad' n Forest District is made up of
i
; Suiuti.i', !\ers!ur.v. Richland and Dec
fiounties and 2.V3JC acres in Fairlicld
i t uiiiuy,
j The number of tires by causes and
j i!io lesulting acreages burned arc as
follows: railroads 15 fires, 182.8
acres; campers 10 tires, 71.8 acres;
smokers 48 fires, 740.4 acres; brush
burning 22 fires, 4iu.z acres"; incendiary
8 fires, 103.1 acres; lumbering
2 flres( 18.2 acres; miscellaneous 11
fires. 136.3 acres; the origins of 53
fires which burned?yrf>ver 655.9 acres
were unknown.
From these figures it can be seen
that for the six month period ending
January 1, 1938, more fires occurred
and more acres were burned as a result
of careless smokers than from
any other cause. . c
Only a small amount of judgement
and care is necessary to prevent smoker's
fires. If smokery would take the
simple precaution of extinguishing
their matches, tobacco .from their
pipes, cighrs and cigarettes rather
than throwing them down while still
burning .the damage resulting from
woods fires tvould be greatly reduced.
The cause following smokers in the
number of iir? s and acreage burned
was cat'eiess burning of brush.
Woods fires originating from brush i
burnings are usually the result of
carelessness. Rangers have frequently
reported instances of woods fires
occurring because some one started
a brusli fire and left it during noon
hour.' This is an example of extreme
carelessness. A brush fire should not
be left until it has burned out or it
has been extinguished with water or
dirt.
Many brush fires become woods
fires because people burn on extremely
dry, windy days. Brush burning
should never be attempted on windy
days where there is a poss'blllty of
its developing Into a woods fire. A
safe policy Is to burn brush in the
late afternoon when the wind has
lolled.
Every one of the fires occurring on
protection units in the Camden District
from July 1* 1937, to January 1,
1938. w&e man-caused and thus preventable.
The Sj^uth Carolina State Forest
Service urges the public to cooperate
trt keeping fires, . the destructive
agency which brought about, in_the
South during 1936 a loss of approximately
forty-five millions of dollars,
out of the woodlands or"Sdulh Carolina.
