Out by Deceased’* Mother.
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Welle and Owen
Robinson are In the Hampton County
jail, charged with the murder of G.
Walker Winn at Fechtlg, in that
county, on September 17, 1910. The
warrant of arrest wac Issued by Mag
istrate J. G. Murdaugh, of Hampton,
Monday,, pn an affidavit by .Mrs. Lix-
xle ,Terry, .mother of the deceased
yoimfrjnan. ,Mr&. vyells was arrested
Meft*f r fnd Mr. Robinson t > Hamp-
Mfl^ay^4^ r Robinson coma to
Hamgtoajt'uesday morning and sur
rendered to the sheriff.
The tragic death of Walker Winn
created quite a serration in all sec
tions of the Cobh rry. The coronefV
Jury considered the case for n period
covering six months and finally ren
dered the verdict lhat the deceased
came to hla death from mercurial
poisoning administered by a person
or persons unknown to the jurors.
At tbe little village of Fechtlg
Walker Winn clerked In the store of
Mrs. Wells, at that time Mias Wheel
er. It seems that the young man did
nut get along well In his home with
his young wife, Lillian Winn, and
they kaa separated. On the after-
non of September 1 7, 1910, he wav
suddenly taken 111: when medical aid
arrived-It was lound that he had
symptoms of acute Indigestion and
apoplexy; the pupils of his eyes were
widely dilated and soon afterwards
he died. A Jury Of Inquest was em-
pannelled and proceeded to enquire
Iqtu the cause o£ death. They rec-
onrtuended .tbfflT^lm contenu of the
stomach-b« analfjMB.
The phyalclBD Mffed on the recom
mendation and the stomach waa sent
to a Columbia chowjpk, W, Boyden
Mims. A negatlv^ was made
on the analysis after {btM weeks and
the Jury made other requests. The
body of yoUng Wlm was Slslnterred
and was found to 1 eve turned black;

There bad’ been no such feeling since
1893-1894. -HlT'bad been a meqaber
lor sateen year# and he had never
seen such an effort to try to hurt
the Governor. It aeemed to bo an ef
fort to get the Governor in a hole.
He referred to the guano hill for the
Stele House grounds by a former
commission. He vent back to Tom
Felder, and .said he never ought to
have been allowed to take $170,000
in commissions. That money would
build a State House. He talked
about a book, but ‘ who the devil be
lieved there was ever a book coming
from Tom Feldw." 'May be they are
waiting for the campaign. He saii
Mr. Gonzalea had used $12,000 or
more for guano and a little ceed and
ditching on LhoStata House grounds.
•Mr. Meares tried to get Mr. Ashley
on the record as to how the money
was spent on the State House grounds
by the tommlkslon, of which-Mr.
Gonzales was a member. The record
showed that $1,134 was spent in
1910, ( not $1 1,000.) and It was spent
for fertilizers, labor, plants. This,
he sakf, was quoting from memory.
Mr. Ashley said Mr. Meares did
not know what he was talking about,
and that he was ttred of some people
trying to run the State. He knew
the whole fight was on the Governor,
and he was sick of the whole thing.
Mr. Ashley made a red hot talk
against what he regarded as attacks
on Governor Hlease.
Dr. Wyche made an impassionate
speech, eloquently saying the legisla
tive hall was not the proper place for
political stump speeches, airi he did
not want to hear so much about pol-
I’iis. lie would o opposed to any
investigation.or further ado, except
that the members of the sub-com-
1 iiitttee asked for it.
Mr. Rembert insisted that be
would raise his foetde voice for Gov
ernor Hlease whenever be saw fit, and
that Judge Jones bad regular head
quarters.
Mr. W yche said he meant no re
flection on Mr. Rembert or anyone
else: his only desire was to have the
House get to work.
Mr. Stevenson's substitute resolu
tion was adopted bv an overwhelm
ing vote. Mr. Humbert s resolution
was defeated. He said he wanted
"the gther side” to table his resolu
tion. and this was done on motion of
