FRAUDS INVOLVE MILLION.

Exceed $1,000,000.
k Washington, Nov. 24.?Comment.,
ing on the arrest yesterday by poste
office inspectors of John W. Knight
i. of the cotton brokerage firm of
r Knight, Yancey & Co., jjecatur, Ala.,
s Postmaster General Hitchcock today
gave out a statement in which he
- says that the operations of this conf
cern through the alleged fraudulent
e use of the mails would doubtless ex .
ceed a million dollars.
The alleged frauds were commit
ted, he says, by, the use of bogus
- bills of lading, covering fictitious
i, shipments. Mr. Hitchcock asserted
f that by making false reports of ship
ments to insurance companies, certificates
of insurance were procured
e covering both railway and marine
s risks. These genuine insurance cery
tiflcates were accepted as indicating
1 the honesty of the shipments and the
t bills of lading thus accompanied
ji were negotiated by note brokers, ^ho
,1 procured payment from the foreign
importers in advance of delivery.
- The cotton purchased, Mr. Hitchcock
a says, never arrived.
e Mr. Hitchcock declared that the

; The postmaster general's statement
h. further alleges "that tbe investigation
lf developed that the two concerns had
; an agreement by which they exchangy
ed drafts, each holding power of at_
torney for the other to accept such
i, drafts, and that together they committed
frauds aggregating between
I two and three million dollars."

s
s Spartanburg, Nov.. 2 5?Martin Wili
cox, an eighteen-year-old white boy,
was tried in the criminal court today
on the charge of housebreaking
and larceny. He had already confessed
that he was guilty of breaking
into Biber's jewelry store several
weeks ago and taking therefrom several
hundred dollars worth of jewel?1
ry. It was sought to convince thej
l- jury that the youth was mentally
e unbalanced, and testimony was introd
duced by the defense to show that he
e had always been a peculiar boy.
is He claimed on the witness stand
d that he was "duped" into committing
e the crime. This did not go with the
Spartanburg jury, however, and they
g returned a verdict of guilty, with
recommendation to the mercy of the
h court. Judge Robert Aldrich sent>
enced him to serve one year on the
Lt public works of the county or a
o like term in the State prison. Wild
cox is very prominently connected

HIS HEAD TOO HARD.
Negro Fails to Kill Himself by Butting
Iron Bars.
Camden, Nov. 23.?Fearing to
stand a second trial or desiring to be
in such condition that he would not
be able to appear, Henry Huntley,
charged with the murder of the exjailor
Cook, and in whose case a
mistrial resulted last week, was
found by Jailor Rowe this morning
apparently trying to beat his brains
out against the bars of his cell.
Whether he was really attempting
suicide or simply wanted to put
himself in such physical condition
that he would * be unable to stand
trial is. a matter of speculation.
According to Mr. Rowe, the man
did not succeed in doing himself any
injury.

DISREGARDED WARNING, SHOT.
Negro Perhaps Fatally Shot in Negro
Woman's Honse Near Aiken.
Aiken, Nov. 24.?Thanksgiving
morning about 1 o'clock, "out at the
home of Hattie Johnson, a negro
woman living near Mr. C. K. Henderson's
old farm, two negro men, Miller
Lockhart and Will Coats, engaged in
a difficulty, which resulted in Will
Coats being ?hot, which, in all probability,
will prove fatal.
The particulars as nearly as could
be learned, are as follows: Miller
Locktlart was in the woman's house,
and Will Coats came and demanded
that they open the door, saying that
if they didn't he would break the
door down and kill them. Lockhart
replied Jhat he had a pistol, and that
if he (Coats) attempted to enter the
house that he would shoot him.
Coats forced the door open and
ventured in, with his knife drawn,
and Lockhart shot him once, the bullet
going into his stomach.
i Lockhart escaped and the police
are hot on his trail, and hope to land
him some time during the day. They
knew nothing of the afTair until after
7 o'clock Thursday, morning. Coats
is in a critical condition and the doctors
think there is little, if any,
chance dfVhis recovery.
NEGRO TO BE HANGED.
Henry Huntley Sentenced to Di^ at
Camden.
Camden, Nov. 25.?With an air of
dogged defiance Henry Huntley, on
trial for the second time for the murder
of Mr. Cook, the jailer, heard
himself sentenced in the Kershaw
county court house to-night to be
hanged until he- is dead on January
6, 1911, Jim Cox and Mary Jones,
alleged to have taken part in the
crime, were given ten and five years
respectively, in the State penitentiary,
Cox being found guilty of manslaughter,
as was Mary Jones, the
latter being recommended to mercy.
The facts of the case are well known.
On September 10, last, Jailer Cook
was killed and the three prisoners
made good their escape, being recaptured
shortly afterward at different
times. Last week the case
was heard, but resulted in a mistrial,
Judge Shipp ordering a new trial for
to-day. To-doy's jury did not* take
quite an hour to reach its decision.
This hanging will be the first for Kershaw
county in many, many years.
EDITOR SENTENCED.
F. D. Warren, of Kansas, Must Serve
Six Months and Pay $1,000.
F. D. Warren, of Girard, Kan., editor
of a paper, "Appeal to Reason,"
must serve a term of six months in
the federal prison at Leavenworth,
Kan.? and pay a fine of $f,000 impos
. J _.
ed by a jury in tbe united states
court in Kansas. The sentence of
that court was affirmed by an order
of the United States circuit court of
appeals, filed at St. Pauls on Monday.
Judge Hook wrote the opinion, and
Judges Adams and Reed concurred.
Warren was accused of sending
through the United States mails envelopes
on outside of which -was
printed, "1,000 reward will be paid
to any person who kidnaps Ex-Gov.
Taylor and returns him to the Kentucky
authorities."
The indictment charged that the
words were scurrilous, defamatory
and threatening in character and intended
to reflect injuriously on the
character of Wm. S. Taylor, a former
governor of Kentucky.
