He was arrested for at tempting to bribe Deputy Sheriff W. 0. Cathoart to assist In the release of the pickpockets. The following ac count of the matter from The State will be read with interest: Mr. Gath cart knowing the man with whom be wm dai'^g, lalda clever trap to oatet. him k, ola dirty work and carrko it cut to a flatsp. Immediately after receiving the mem ey he notified DeUolive Thackham, who was siding him, and then Sheriff Sheriff Coleman in turn reported the matter to Judge Hydrick as scon as he preached the court Wednesday morning. Judge Hydrick, sctlntf with characteristic decision, ordered the Immediate arrest cAMtlic r and Wed nesday night Miller s.ept In the R eh land county Jail with his pale, bnuliz and Beckwith, alia^ Kavanatgh. Tuesday night as Mr. Catbcart was on hto way to the jail with the prison ers from the court room he was ap proaohed by Miller, who, In passing, whispered into hto ear: “I want to speak to you a few minutes. Come up to the hotel to see me.” *' At the appointed hour Mr. CatL- cart went to the hotel, but found Mil ler at dinner. In a shcrt'wbtle be re turned and upon aridvlrtf at the bote! was accosted by Miller in front, on the street. He led the deputy sheriff to a aeat near the edge of the pavement and said: "I »want to talk bualnec* with yon.” Mr. Catbcart replied. "All right, I am y< ur man." Miller then commented upon tbe sudden adverse turn the. case bad taken and fflspl tyed unu ual nervous mm. Hw aaked Mr. Catbcart to walk with him, saying that matters lot kec serious and asksd Mr. Catbcart bow much he would take' to put Beck with, alias Kovansugh, and Shultz on tbe ground.” meanlr g, It was inferred to aid in fa^urlcg their release.

Mr Cathoart wanted eneepoyed to defend the pc - pockets and would be here when eourt convened. This Mr. B'lgsrv has not been heard of so far and 15 la not pn - bable that he will be bere, as two of tbe piokp ckets have bean oonvlelad and the other has f yfeited a oasl: bund of 11 600 by non-appearance.

If he does not present birr - self for trial his bdhd will be forfeited and Solicitor Timmerman will reorn.- mend that at least 1500 be iff red as a reward for bi> airraV. Tacre are also other rewards outstanding for hto apprehension. - After securing the releaM of Par ker, Miller also mads an effort t? nave Shalmrel'&sed from Jtil on tbe tame amount, but when the matter cams before Associate J usfioa Woods at chambers, hs reduced the bond from 16,000 to 13,500, and Snultz was unable to raise the amount.

During this time tbe two men had walked from the Co.umbla hotel to the postifflce and were returning. Mr Cathoart told M Uler that they cugh- not tu.be seen W gether and that- be would go on the ott er aide of the staeet and would meet him again at tbe hotel, while Miller went to the hotel to get the necessary cash. As soon aa Miller came out of tbe hotel he suggested that they take a car, which they did. They rode how ever, only two blocks, to the poetoffloe. Here they left the oae, walking down Laurel street from Main to Sumter. While down Ltarel street Miller asked the deputy sheriff If be chewed gum and being Informed that be did, Mil ler went Into an Inside pocket, bring Ing out a package of gum on which appeared In large lettera "Nixie, I won’t tell,” which he handed to Mr. .Catbcart- While it} tbe darkest part * of the block Miller suddenly shook hands surreptkusly with Mr. Cath- cart and left 1200 in greenbacks In his palm. They then separated, Mil ler raturnlng^to his botel and |£r. Oathcart going directly to hto home, where be reported the matter by tele phone to the sheriff. As scon as Judge Hydrick reached the <x urt house Wednesday morning Sheriff Coleman reported the bribery, to hla honor, who called in Deputy Catheart, and after bearing a state tnent from him, ordered that Miller be carefully guarded and not allowed to leave the court room under any cir cumstances. Officers- were detailed to keep dose watch on Miller and guard tbe extte of tha court room. Miller evidently became suspicious that tall waa not going well and attempted* to > leave tbe court room, when be wee Hopped by a detective and told that ht^ could not leave the rrom. Very aooo thereafter, acting under Inst rue tlons from Judge Hydrick, the sheriff placed Miller uuder arreat and gave him a aeat in the court room, where he wm guaided on both aides during tbe day.

The Jury reached a verdict in about 15 minutes. The men were returned to4®“^®* ,Mt jail Thursday night and so far m known no further effort will be made to delay the execution of their sen tence. A gnat deal of Interest wm mani fested In this trial and the verdict of the jury and the sentence of the oourt met with an expressed approval when ever It was annouuoed. Shultz and Kavanaugh were arraigned and a jury drawn just before the adjournment of oourt of Tuesdav artemoon. Wednes day morning the ease wm called as soon m court convened and the entire forenoon was devoted to hearing the testimony. Tha testimony wm practically the Mme which wm brought out at the preliminary hearing a few days after their arreat In October. Neither of tbe defendants wm put upon the stand, nor was any other evidence off ered by tbe defense. Tne attorneys for the defense hsd little upon which to base tbelr arguments and the con viction of the man seem ad to be a forgone eonelurtoh. The testimony showed tbat there was a gang of nine of these pick pock ets operating together at the fair grounds and tha detectives on duty there watche4 them operating in the erowds at the street oar exits and when boarding the cars. Tney were surrounded by a number of officers after all of them had been spotted and four ware arrested and taken to the office of Magistrate Riley at the fair grounds. While the plokpooketa were In the office a disturbance wm ereated by a drunken outsider and one of the four dived through an open window and made hto escape. An 0I8 negro man In charge of an outbuilding called the attention of the detectives to the fact that several of these men, two of whom be later identified m Shultz and Beckwith, had entered tbe house and burled sev eral pocketbcK'ka. a search showed that the men had dug a hols, placed the pocketbooka in It and covered them with dirt. A few minutes later they were unearthed and nine purses, from which tbe money hid been taken, were found. The cue upon which the men were tried wm for robbing D. J. Gault of Union. There are four other caae" against ShuUz and five against Beck with. After aentenoe had been pre nounced the solicitor moved than tb< other- oases against the prisoners be placed on the continued docket. Neither Sohultz nor Beckwith would have anything to say after their con viction, bat were in a surly mood and only asked how aoon they would be sent to begin their aentenoe. After arriving at tbe jail they talked muob In whispers, but would not allow any one else to hear their coavenation probably completely derange her.
