The reunion of the Old Confed.
Veterans for 1909 arHemphls, Tenn.,
Is over. After re-electing Gen.
Clement A. Evans commander-in-
chief over his vigorous but futile pro
test, and selecting Mobile, Ala., as
the next place of reunion, the United
Confederate Veterans adjourned their
business meeting Wednesday on the
heels of a very stormy session. The
only candidate for commander-in-'
chief placed in nomination was Gen.
Wm. M. Cabell, commander of the
Trans-MJaslssippi division. Just be
fore nominations were in order, Gen.
Evans read an announcement to the
convention, in which he declined re-
election. He said he had served in
every capacity, from the lowest to
the highest, and that he felt that the
highest honor in the Veterans’ gift
should be passed from one Ex-Con
federate to another in turn.
But the delegates disagreed with
him, and by a vote of 1,540 to 744
for Cabell, re-elected Gen. Evans to
command. With tears streaming
down his cheeks and shaking with
emotion, the stately and aged soldier
bowed to the commands of his com
rades.
After Mobile. Houston, Nashville,
Chattanooga and Oklahoma City had
been put In nomination for the next
reunion, some one began to introduce
outside speakers. Sweltering in a
temperature of over a hundred de
grees, the Veterans delegates object
ed strongly and yelled vigorously for
a vote. Finally John W. Apperson,
commander-in-chief of the United
Sous of Confederate Veterans, .se
cured the floor and Introduced Con
gressman T. U. Sisson, of Mlseistfppi,
as the spokesman of the Song.
Nearly every one thought Sisson
was to spring a "dark horse" can

young Congressman merely desired
to make a speech, the delegates be

BODY CAST IN WELL
Revelations in the extortion, plot
ting and murder by the "Black
Hand,” as uncovered by the postoffleo
inspectors from the Cincinnati of
fice, show conclusively that the gang
In Columbus, Marlon, Dennison and
Bellefontaine and other Ohio towns
was organized along the same lines
as the old Mafia, but with a better
system for concealing their move
ments.
It is now known that the Ohio
Black Hand,...or the Society -of the
Banana, as its members ..style them
selves, had a branch in Pittsburg
and one in Chicago, and a line that
extended to South Dakota. Regular
meetings were held andithe money
obtained by extortion was distribut
ed to various divisions in this coun
try and sent to relatives in Italy
for safe-keeping.
"We have found what 1 believe
to be certain proof that the Black
Hand outrages were committed by
a well organized society,’ said Chief
Postoffice Inspector Holmes to an
Associated Press representative.
"It has taken Inspector Oldfield
and four other men under me six
months to run down the leaders.
“We have no evidence so far that
American Black Hand in the West
is connected with the foreign or^
ganization that killed Lieut. Petro-
sino In Sicily."
Nine arrests have been made thus
far in Columbus, Marion, Dennison
and Bellefontaine, and Government
officers in Chicago and Cincinnati
are looking for Antonio Lima, who
was arrested in Marion. Antonio
Lima is held to be one of the chief
ring-leaders.
An effort will be made to have
the prisoners indited by a Federal
grand jury at -Cleveland on the
charge of conspiracy to commit ex
tortion.

that he wished to repeal his speech
In Congress, delivered in answer to
Congressman Calderhead, of Kan
sas, who charged that the Southern
people were lazy. Sisson received
some encouragement and some his
ses. but he persevered. Finally hia
concluded in a burst of eloquence,
saying:
"Thie principles you fought for
were right in '61 and are right to
day. You were not conquered then,
you are not conquered now, and the
greatest monument In your honor
are the millions of pensions the Fed
eral government pays to the widows
and orphans your valor made and
the forty-six thousand graves in Ar
lington Cemetery, which the Federal
government decorates each 10th of
May. As long as these monuments
are perpetuated to your honor, you
need erect no others.”
Sisson’s speech was received with
mingled cheers and hisses, and many
Confederates left the hall in dis
gust. Others crowded around him
and swamped him with congratula
tions.
Meantime Mrs. Moore Murdock, of
Dallas, Texas, was endeavoring to
be heard. She wanted to second
the nomination of Houston, Texas,
for the next reunion. She posses
ses a very masculine voice and man
ner of delivery, and she soon quieted
the assembly. The Veterans listened,
iti patience until she declared:
"We have lived as rebels, we are
still rebels, and we will die as
rebels.”
Then pandemonium broke loose.
It was difficult to tell whether the'
majority favored her sentiments or
opposed them. Cheers were mingled
with cat-calls and hisses and above
all reverberated the ear-splitting
rebel yell. /•
Several other speakers were In

The Horrible Crime Is One of the
Worst That Ever Happened iiv
Columbia, and for Mystery Sur
rounding it Rivals the Famous
Maud Allen Murder Case.
In the revolting killing in the
kitchen of her home at 611 Sumter
street, Columbia, Friday morning
about day-break, of Mrs. Victoria
Griffin, who was struck in the head
with ftn axe, her throat cut from ear
to.ear and her'body thrown into the
well on the premiees.
The Rdcord says the Columbia
police have a murder mystery on
their hands, which is a match for
the Maud Allen murder mystery,
which has never Vbeen solved. In
both the Maud Allen and Griffin mur
der eases the owner of the premis
es is a resident of Brookland. This
has no bearing on the case, but is
merely a curious coincidence. The
following particulars of the crime
we clip from the Columbia Record:
Five men have been arrested in
connection with this morning's mur
der, three of thenr sons of the dead
woman: the fourth a man said to
have been on friendly terms with the
dead woman up to five mouths ago.
when he ceased boanfiing i<t the
house, and the fifth a barber named
Ltrke Lewis, who was a visitor to the
dead woman's oldest daughter by a
former husband. Eula Thompson.
The three sons are Walter. Jim and
Russell Griffin, all coton mill opera
tives. They were all found at khe
house by the police, and said they
all slept In their mother’s room, the
youngest, Russell, in the same bed.
The oldest daughter occupied a room
to th“ front. There was still another
daughter In the house, about 13 years
old. There are only three rooms and
a kitchen in the house. The other
man in’arrest Is S. Wash Medlin,' who
ceased boarding at the house re
cently, hut who turned Rip there
shortly -after the arrival of she ptdsee
at about 5:30 Friday morning.
All the arrests made were made at
the house, except that of Lewis, who
was placed in arrest at his barber
shop in the McCreery building, oppo
site the union station. He said he
was not at the house last night, and
Eular Thompson says, though last
night was his usual night to lie there,
he had sent word that he could not
come.
All the children, except a daughter,
who lives In the country, were at
home, and they advanced the theory
of suicide so strongly, in the face of
the physical facts demonstrating
murder unmistakably, that Coroner
Walker became suspicious of them
and made the arrests as indicated.
The woman's husband, David Wes
ley Griffin, was a well known resident
of Richland county, and was fairly
succes.-ful in business. He was mur
dered in a quarrel with bis partner
in the turpentine business, by a' man
named Dennis, about five years ago,
in Georgia.
The oldest daughter says she dis
covered that her mother was missing
about 5 o'clock. Being awakened at
this time and not hearing her mothei
stirring in the kitchen, the daughter
left her room to go to her mother s
to arosue her. Not finding her tnere
she made a fruitless search. The
youngest son then went to me union
station, a few blocks away, and noti
fied Officer Salter, who, with another
officer went to the house at once.
A horrible sight met the officers’
gaze in that back kitchen in the fresh
crisp dawn of the new day. A pool
of blood was on the floor of the
kitchen, a bloody razor, afterward
claimed as his by one of the sons
was on the kitchen table, and in the
corner stood a bloody axe, part of
the blade being broken off and the
other half very bloody, and blood 041
the handle. There Were bloody
tracks about the kitchen. There
were also some tracks leading back
into the room where the sons slept,
but it is thought these were made
by the youngest boy in going out
to search for his mother. Prints
of the woman's fingers on the floor
as she struggled in her own blood
were evident.
Finally the officers were attracted
to the well by a few blood stains on
the side of the well-box. The top

Lee Surrendered. -
A frenzied' demoffStrstlon of wei-
come the men Jn grey for the son
of the man who conquered them
marked the final scene of the nine
teenth Reunion of the United Con
federate Veterans Thursday. It took
place during the parade. In the re
viewing stand stood Gen. Frederick
Dent Grant, of the United States
army.
The first few divisions in line pass
ed with only a limited number rec
ognizing the son of the man who ac
cepted the surrender of Lee. Rut
finally a cavalry division approached,
and Its commanding officer, Gen.
Tyler, of Hickman, Ky., old and
grizzled, peered steadily at Gen.
Grant a moment. Then he turned
in his saddle and yelled:
"Come on, you kids, here’s Gen.
Grant come to life again in his son."
With one of the old-time rebel
yells, the division, remnants of For
rest’s Cavalry, charged upon the
stand and jostled one another for an
opportunity to shake the hand of
the son of their old-time. , enemy.
From that moment every grey-clad
Veteran who could reach the stand
rushed up to shake hands with G<m
Grant. The stocky army officer’s
gray eyes filled with tears and hi#
shoulders shook with emotion as he
murmured: "God bless you ell,
boys, Cod bless you," giving ea:h
a cordia' hand-grasp.
Battle-torn banners were grouped
at his feet and waved over his head
in salute. One old officer rode up to
the stand, seized Gen. Grant s hand
and kissed him on the cheek, ex
claiming: “Gcd ulcis you. boy, 1
fought your father, ct whom you a'e
the Image, but he was a gallant,
magnanimous foe and I io'j his
son.”
More than one Veteran was In

are negroes. They could tell the po
lice nothing to throw any light on tht
mystery.
The coroner and police found the
children all in tears and they appear
ed to be grief-stricken in the ex
treme. In the face of all these facts
disclosed by the police they »tlll
affect to believe their mother com
mitted suicide.
Neighbors say the children were
very affectionate towards their
mot her.
In support of.-the suicide theory the
children turned over to the coroner
a two-ounce bottle of Iodine, half
empty, which they said their mother
bught Thursday. The bottle bears
the imprint of W. C. McMillan's drug
store.
When fished out of the well the
women was clad in two night gowns,
ancLdthe small amount of blood on
them gave rise to the suspicion that
the body was thus dressed after the
murder.
Eula Thompson stoutly maintains
to the coroner that she is a good
girl. She went so far as to offer
to undergo any sort of examination
at the hands of a physician which
would satisfy the coroner that she
-had. always been a good woman.
She says she is willing to do this
or most anything else to throw any
light on the mystery of her mother’s
murder or suicide, whichever it is.
The dead woman suffered from
cancer of the stomach, the children
say, and they believe she took her
own life on this account, because she
had been saying lafely that if site
could find a good way to kill her
self she would do it.

o write to Mr. Jones for informa-
lon, which the son did, giving a de
scription of his father from which
Mr. Jones readily applied the deacrlp-
lon to "Baker.”
The letter was answered by Mr.
rones giving the desired Information,
in some way Mr. “Baker” learned
hat Mr. Jones had written to his
«>n and It is said the old man did
not reilsh it very much, evidently
intending to keep his whereabouts a
secret until death. Several letters
rasred between Mr. Jones and tbs
ion In South Carolina and finally the
father was communicated with by
its son and persuaded to consent to
return to his old borne and be cared
f or the rest of his life.
Mr Scarboro arrived in Statcsbo-
0 Saturday night ana proceeded to
Enal without making known the ob-
ect of his visit to any one but Mr.
(ones with whom he had been com-
inunieatfpg. He stated to Mr. Jones
that the four sons were still alive;
hat each of them were in good finan
cial circumstances and were desirous
jf having their father spend bis de
fining years with them where he
could be cared for. When the son
reached the home of his father at
Enal the meeting Is said to have been
*--4ov4ng one, first handshake and
then throwing their arms around one
mother the two stood there and hug
ged for some time.
This was on Saturday night and
Sunday morning when they started
for the train they passed through
limps, five miles from here and some
time was spent at the home of Will
Akins while waiting for the Central
train. Mr, Akins was not at home
it the time and when he returned
he walked up and spoke to the fath
er and cordially bowed to the son,
not knowing who he was.
At this time Mr. "Baker” said,
"Well, Will, 1 have fooled you all
for twenty years. I want to intro
duce you to my son, Mb. Scarboro.
I am going back to the old home
with him this morning and will
spend the balance of my life there

"Baker” is well known In States

been in the country near here. Dur
