Aiken, April 5.?John Zimmerman has been lodged in jail in this city. Zimmerman was arrested in Florence some days ago and held on suspicion. He was later identified as the man wanted here. He is also wanted in Barnwell county on a charge of killing and robbing an old negro. In this ? county he is said to have robbed a negro man after doping him and to have thrown his body in a ditch, where the negro was later found unconscious.

He sold medicine and professed to have hoodoo powers. He hired the old negro to carry him bout, and it was while he was being <a *iven near Aiken that he is said to S- ve doped the negro, stolen his it >ney and eloped with his team.

Jenkins, of Sumter, committed suicide at Society Hill to-day about 3 o'clock, by shooting himself in the left temple with a 32-calibre Smith & Wesson pistol. Mr. Jenkins came to Society Hill about 12 o'clock to-day and put up his horse at Mr. Sompayrac's stable. Shortly after doing so, Mr. Sompayrac asked him why he was so nervous, and he stated that he verv little last night. Mr. Som payrac insisted on his going up to the hotel and going to a room and resting awhile, but he declined to do so, saying he would rest there in the store. However, about half-past 2 he did go to a hotel and went to a room. About 5 o'clock Mr. D. L. Winters was notified that someone in the house thought he heard a pistol shot about 3 o'clock. Mr. Winters went up to the window of the room occupied by Mr. Jenkins and saw him lying on the bed, and receiving no response to his call he entered the room and found that Mr. Jenkins was dead.

Hunter, convicted of having slain his wife at the time she and two other women were murdered in the Perry street house, in December, 1909, and who was recently refused a new trial by the supreme court, was to-day resentenced by Judge Charlton to be hanged on May 12. Brought into the court room, Hunter was asked if he had anything to say. "I have," he answered, "with extreme composure and calmness. "I wish to say, your honor, that I know nothing more of the murder of this woman than you or anyone else in this court room." * Judge Charlton made no remarks, confining himself to the legal expresnanoocarv nrnnnnnce the sen oiv/uo ut?w?Jk;v*4 j w v?v tence.

Atlanta, April 6.?All the evidence, affidavits, petitions and letters involved in the application for pardon filed by Thomas E. Stripling, former chief of police of Danville, Va., and recaptured recently on a charge of murder, for which he was sentenced to a life term 14 years ago, now are in the hands of the State prison commission. Arguments in the case were ended to-night. It probably will be several days before a Recommendation to the governor is decided upon. Strioline killed W. J. Cornett, in Harris county, Georgia, 14 years ago, was sentenced to a prison term and escaped while being taken to his cell. He went to Danville, Va., where he was known as Morris, joined the po- ; lice force of that city and afterwards became chief. Many thousand persons in this State and Virginia have petitioned the governor to pardon Stripling, on the grounds of his good conduct since escaping. The relatives of Cornett, however, have contested his release, engaged attorneys to appear before the prison board. Stripling is in jail in Harris county. Stripling pleaded the "unwritten law," claiming that he killed Cornett in defence of his home. Sworn statements that Cornett had insulted Stripling's sister were presented to the commission. Andrew C. Dibble Wins. Orangeburg, April 6.?With only three small precincts to De neara from it seems practically certain that Andrew C. Dibble was elected probate judge here to-day to succeed Judge Copes, who was recently elevated to the circuit bench. The election passed off very quietly and the vote was light. So far as heard from the vote stands: Dibble. 580; Sturkie, 490, Friday, 392. It is not thought that the returns from the three missing precincts will change the standing of the candidates materially. It's Equal Don't Exist.
