SUICIDE AT LODGE* J
Mannie Carter Attempts to Kill Wife
and then Kills Himself. ?
After shooting at his wife and evidently
believing her dead, young S
Alanine uarxer, running a tew uuu3red
yards from the scene of the
shooting, and placing the muzzle of
bis gun at chest, ended his Me. The
killing took place on the farm of R.
Bennett Tuesday, December 6th, at j
ibout noon.
It seems that young Carter and
his wife had not been getting on i:
very well. Although they had been 0
married only about four months, c
they had separated two or three
times. e
Young Carter had threatened on a
several occasions to kill his wife and j
then himself, but no one thought
that he was in earnest. Tuesday
morning he borrowed a single barrel ^
oVi cni n from flPOTCP Cook and ^
Buvrv0~*?. v?
bought five shells, claiming that he
was going squirrel hunting. His v
wife, who was working for Mrs. Benaett,
believed that he had gone to j
hunt for squirrels, but about noon t
he returned and calling her told her r
that he had .something to tell her a
and insisted on her coming to the \
fence where he was. She, at first, t
refused to go, but finally yielded to t
his entreaties and went. Youg Car- t
ter cautiously brought the gun
around to where he thought he
would kill his wife, but she divining
bis purpose, caughth the muzzle and ^
shoved it to one side just as he fired,
with the result that only one shot
took effect in her finger. The load
was lodged in the side of the house
within a few inches of where Mrs. 1
Bennett was standing by the win- 1
dow. ^
Mrs. Garter, Mrs. Bennett, and her *
two daughters-in-law, who were all T
dresent, began screaming, and Car- *
ter, evidently believing that be had *
killed his wife, ran across the field, d
about 400 yards from the house a 1
report of a gun was heard and a c
searching party finally located him 1
dead between two cotton rows.?

Wife of Banker Writes Remarkable t
Paper to President. f
*
Charles W. Morse's petition for t
pardon has been formally presented c
to the department of justice in Wash- a
ton. (
Mrs. Morse has made anotner peti- I
tion for ^ her husband, and this has i
been presented to President Taft by s
Senator Hale. The president sent it t
at once to Attorney General Wicker- g
sham, who turned it over to the at- i
torney in charge of pardons. I
Mrs. Morse's personal petition e
came in the form of a letter address- i
ed to the president It was type- J r
written and covered about two pages t
of note paper. In it Mrs. Morse made t
a simple, business-like plea for the c
release of her husband, calling the c
president's attention to what she said t
was an "immense popular interest" e
in the case., She declared that the c
general sentiment of the many thous- t
ands of peole who had signed the
petition was that, the sentence imposed
upon her husband was "outrageous;"
that he had no intention
of wronging the National Bank of 1
North America; that no depositor (
had lost a dollar, and that at most i
he had only been found guilty of f
technical violation of the national
bank law. t

M3MS KILLED AT SUMTER.
Car Inspector Crushed Beneath En*

glUCCi O. ?>. UTY1UC. '-rim
The accident occurred at the railroad
crossing on Harvin street at Jj8
10:35 o'clock this morning, There 'i|j
are many different versions of the * .||j
details of the accident, but the story |||
that is given most credence is told
by Engineer Devine. He says that , ":j||
Mima was sitting on the rod of an- }||H
other engine to the right of the one '~vjR
he was running, and that as the two .'119
engines came nearly opposite one :p8
another that Mims jumped off the .^K
engine upon which he was riding and };^a|
attempted to cross in front of .him.
He saw that he had no time in which
to stop*, hut as a precautionary messure
blew his whistle to warn Mims. \:#3a
' -wEm
He saw the engine strike Mims, |H-;:
and the last wheels pass over his v . jBS
legs. He was running about eight
miles an hour, and it was impossible
for him to bring his engine to a stop gSm
in time to avoid the accident '
The story of the colored porter on 'Jij9J|
the Gibson train tallies exactly with ;/?'|
that of Engineer Devine, except that ^Sj||
he is of the opinion that the engine
was tunning faster. \||
Aliuiucr uecuuui ie givcu uj a uinu
who is quite well known and very '
reliable. He states that Devine was '\|?[
mnnning his engine about fifteen - :^K
miles an hour, and that he had just . |lt||
remarked about running too fast Jgj J
when the person to whom he was |99
talking exclaimed, "My God, look "JIB
there." He looked and saw Mims, - ^
who seemed to 'be getting off the j||^H
steps of his engine, fall and the en- '^^fta|
fine run over him, dragging his bddy
some distance.' >He immediately ran
to the station, 'phoned for a doctor,
and sent bystanders in search of oth~
er physicians. Dr. Clifton, of Orangeburg,
was- the first physician to '9
reach the wounded man and assisted
in putting him en a wagon to be hur* ^ S
ried to the Sumter Hospital. Other %
doctors arrived just as the wagon -yiM
started off and accompanied Mims,
giving him all the temporary relief S||j
possible.
Mims bled freely while lying on ^j|
the ground, and all the time was cry-' '-ffijMgM
out out, "Lord, look what a fix I'm
in now?can't some one get a doc- |JM
tor?" At one time he said: V4! tgJM
thought I could pass in front of that
engine." He was deathly white, and, was
suffering terribly from his man- S
gled Jimbs. One leg was crushed at
the hip, and the other between the vIS
hip and the knee. Handkerchiefs /
were tied tightly above the wounds ySgj
to keep the man from bleeding to
death before medical aid could reach
A hasty examination at the. Hos- M
pital revealed, a most terribly mangled
condition of the limbs, and It
was decided to operate at once. Both legs
were removed successfully, but
the patient could not survive the
shock of the operation, and breathed Jgg
his last at a little after 1 o'clock, just
thirty minutes after being removed
from the operating table. ,j-?r
The death of Mr. Miins is particularly
sad, because of the fact that he
