Peeplee vee exonerated of all blame for the accidental ahootlnf of a negro por ter, Robert Manhall, In the Blka’ l . Home In Colombia by a Jury in the Richland county court Monday morning. Three mlnutee after they got the case the Jury returned a ver dict of “Not guilty’’ to the indictment charging Attorney-General Peeples ■with murder. The Richland court house wab 1111 ed Monday morning" at 10 o’clock when Judge George E. Prince, who Is . presiding, took his seat. Solicitor Wade Hampton Cobb called the case of the State against Thos. H. Peeples, Assistant Attorney General Fred H. Dlmlnlck announced Mr. Peeples — ready for trial. Many ©f the mem bers of the general assembly dropped in during the trial. .The larger part of the members of the Richland bar were present and the spectators’ benches were filled. Coroner J. A. Acott sat beside Solicitor Cobb. Attorney General Thos. H. Peeples was arraigned and pleaded not guilty ' to the Icharge of murder. The draw ing of the Jury began at 10:20. Two challenges wore used by the defence, Mr. Dominick excusing W. E. Hop kins and B. M. English. The jury as drawn consisted of E. A. Hedgepath, W. D. Rabun, D. K. Pratt, D. W. Boughnlght, Edmund Roberts, W. L. • Coleman. J. C. Carpenter, J. R. Ful mer, William Watson, R. E. Camp bell, 8. B. Hyatt, ft. L. Burnett. Judge Prince directed R. E. Campbell to Wt as foreman. That Attorney General Peeples came into the Elks’ Home on the ■Ight of December 6 with a pistol, which he had taken from his car, and while in the act of handing it to Capt. J. F. Weaver in the buffet of the club It was accidentally exploded, killing the negro porter, Robert Mar shall, who was entering the room, and that the Attorney general was wholly without blame and much dis tressed at the accident, was the testi mony which was given by 8. F. Wheeler, A. H. Martin, George J. Howell, James A*. present in the buffet at the time. It was developed that the attorney gen eral did not even know the negro was entering the room, that he turned to hand the pistol to Capt. Weavor on the resuest of the latter to let him see It, and II waa accidentally dis charged, presumably by being knock ed against the counter. - Sheriff McCain, who took charge •f the rooms siter the shooting, cor- . roborated the others, and Arthur Gayden, a negro porter at the Elks’ Home, testified that he was at the phone ordering some milk tot the attorney general when he heard the Bitot. He skid that Mr. Peeples al- ways was polite and eonslderate/Sf the servants and all liked him. All of the witnesses testified that they had never known the attorney gen eral to carry a pistol, x Dr. M. M. Rice, who examined the negro after his body- waa removed to the undertaking establishment, test!- ted that the bullet entered jhls right temple, ploughed through the brain, and came out on the left of the head. The testimony showed that the bul let then glanced against a wall and fell on a hearth. The flattened bullet and the pistol were putjn evidence by Solicitor Cobb. Attorney General Peoples took the stand In his own behalf, and was the only witness for the defence. In a straightforward, manly way, he told of the sad occurrence. How he bad only received the pistol some six weeks prior-to the occurrence from an uncle In Texas. How he had put It in his automobile that morning for the protection of his mother, who went to Lexington In his car. On the return he rode In his ear to the Elks’ club about 10 o’clock, and took out the pistol Intending to leave It at the club, as ha never carried one. He went into the buffet and was In the act of laying the pistol on the cash CLOSED IN MYSTEKY WalUr ■. and Mrs. EDa Belle Hite Plead Guilty to Aseoalt aad Battery In Lexington Court. Walter B. Gayganous, the young Southern Bell Telephone lineman, aad Mra. Ella Belle Hite, charged with the shooting of J. Milton Hite; a young buslneae man, of Batesburg, on the night of December 6, last, Tuesday entered a plea of guilty to the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill and carrying con cealed weapons In^the Lexln county court of generaT sessions. Judge Spain passed sentence npon the prisoners. On Gurganous he laid a sentence of six months at bard labor or a 11ns of |125. Ella Hits wss sentenced to imprisonment ’’at such labor as she may be able to per form” for three months and to pay a fine of f 100, provided that the prison sentence should be suspended Upon the prisoner paying the One and leav ing the State of South Carolina and remaining away. Both Gurganous. and Mrs. Hite paid their fines promptly. Betdte sentence was passed Col. J. Brooks Wlhgard of counsel for the defence, said: "It is agreed by the solicitor and counsel for Mr. Gurganous, that counsel shall have the opportunity at this point in behalf of Mr. Gurgan« ous to make a short statement and to have the same incorporated In the record of this case. Mr, Gurgauous Is quite a young than engaged In the laudable business of ean. r.g an hon est Hvllhood by his own ’a iors. His present unfortunate situation l as Im pressed him as perhaps h^thlirg-e'se could, the fact that Bonn ’Ibje or Oth er all men are or ma^ he SHbJested to Influences that tob .'reqMenily cause a lapse from the path o* up rightness and right living. “He is conscious, even now, of nd having committed any legal wron wliich could Justify or give rise t the offenses now pending against hi He fully realizes the indiscretions his past associations; but he Is wll ing to enter this plea, and to meet this obligation rathef than to enter Into an Investigation which would disclose a situation which might be construed by some as bearing too harrfly upon others whp are Interest- edMtt this case, and could result only In producing a sense of deep humilia tion on the part of all parties Inter ested In the Issues Involved. Mrs. Hite appeared In the court room neatly attired In a becoming suit of blue. She (Jld not appear the least nervous until the time came for the plea. As soon as the sentence had been pronounced she, left the court room with the sheriff Her escort, her attorney, E. L. Asblll did not make any open plea for his client, but he and the solicitor con ferred with Judge Spain before the sentence was pronounced. A few feet distant, on the opposite side of the room, sat Walter E. Gurganous. Mrs Hite’s eyes were centred on the judge and she did not glance In the direc tion of her husband. At the Jail, in a prltate room, after the proceeding! workover, Mrs. Hit* agreed to receive a, reporter In the presence of Sheriff Miller. This Is the first time since her arrest that she has permitted herself to he Inter viewed. In a calm and dispassionate manner, even modest, she expressed her great satisfaction that the case had been ended. ; ”My only hope and desire,’’ she said, “Is to be with my husband and dear little girl.

The rescua.wlll go down in shipping annals as one of the mget notable ever Accomplished on the Atlantic coast. The Cobequid had begun to break ,np under the cannonading of thp ter rific seas, that had been mercilesss from the time the vessel struck early Tuesday. Quantities of cargo covered the waters as the lifeboats ranged-.alongslde. The coastal steam ers Westport and John L.lCann were first to get their small boils Into thT water, and they wereixfoljlowed soon by boats of the government steamer Landsowne and the steamer Rappa hannock. As the work of rescue pro gressed the seas Subsided, and no mishap marred the triumph bven the waves. ^ 4 A Capt. McKinnon of the Westport: found the liner on Trinity Ledge at- 4:20—oUdpck Wednesday afternoon. At the time there was a high wTud and rough sea. He took oft In three lifeboats seventy-two persons, In cluding all passengers, the purser, several deck officers and part of the crew. The Westport stood by until 6:15 o’clock, when the John L. Cann came up. the latter took off twenty-four men as the Westport was leaving for Yarmouth. The captain and eleven men of the crew decided to remain on the ship until morning, and the government steamer Landsdowne re mained by with them. The Westport arrived at Yar mouth at 9 p. m. and the John L. Cann followed her In. The Cobe- quld’a stern was not broken, as first reported, according to the account given by Capt. McKinnon. In fact, theiafter p.art was highest out of the water. The Cobequid was badly Iced up. > Preparations had been made to care for the shipwrecked ones and they were given every comfort that Yarmouth afforded.'
