Xr work on our Industrial Edition, and in a few days we will begin to call on the business men in reference to r, same.

Using Every Expedient to Keep Convicted Man from the Pen. Union, June 13.?At the court of [ general sessions here this morning with W. B. Gruber, of Walterboro, ? special judge presiding, the case of I W. T. Jones was brought up in the 5 form of a motion for a new trial on > the ground of after-discovered evi? dence. > Efforts ^ere made by the attorneys . for Jones to postpone the hearing on f account of the illness of one of . Jones' attorneys, Stanyarne Wilson, . who was operated on over a month ago for appendicitis, the point being . raised by the attorneys present that r Mr. Wilson, who was ill, had looked 5 after getting up the affidavits in the i case and that he was better acquaintr ed. with the facts regarding! the evi. dence. They requested the judge to . continue the case until conference 5 could be had with Mr. Wilson. The attorneys for the State took ? the grounds that the attorneys for the defendant had had ample time to have made all their arrangements and to be ready at this term of court. Further, that by the delaying of the case it caused a further delay in justice and that if the case would be continued this morning it would most probably mean that the case would r not come up until the September } term of court. Judge Gruber, after I hearing arguments from both sides in regard to postponing the motion, del cided that the hearing must be prol ceeded with to-day. y Attnrtievc Mr thp defendant then proceeded to hear the petition for the t new trial and tne affidavits in support i tnereof which were numerous and t voluminous and the hearing of them } occupied the morning hours. When court reconvened in the afternoon the State presented its affidavits for the > purpose of showing why the motion : should not be granted. Counsel for I the defendant as each affidavit was read, objected t$ such portions as ; was considered irrevelant. or iricom; petent. In this way the whole afterl noon was consumed. 1 PASSENGERS WERE ROBBED. J ' Relieved of Valuables Between Washington and New York.
