W Tatum Declared Inno to Defraud 1 Columbia, June 1.?The jury in | Si the "label" case returned a verdict [ st of "not guilty" this afternoon at 6 j w o'clock, in the Richland county court, j tt after two hours and twenty minutes' | si 3 deliberation, thus saying to the j r world that John Bell To will, L. Whit! tt Bovkin and W. 0. Tatum were not j cc - guilty of conspiracy to defraud the | le r State out of $22,500 on a purchase of h< 21,000,000 labels in 1905, while they SI f were officials of the late State dist pensary, as charged by the State. h< The defendants, with their attorneys, p< were present in court when the ver, diet was announced and they were se naturally elated at their vindication. N ^ The verdict came at the close of the third day of the trial of this case, it having been preceded by the U( trial of "Hub" Evans, on the charge ??] 1 of acepting rebates, and he, too, was qi found not guilty. j( Spectators and counsel, defendants tr ? and the court have had a strenuous w . week of it throughout the trial of the "graft" cases. w ? This case last September resulted ag r in a mistrial after the jury deliber- ci ated thirty-five hours. The jury to- ai . day was only a little over two hours in reaching a verdict of "not guilty." Vol Pros for Wpiskonf. h ~ "" ' u? Dennis Weiskopf, of Cincinnati, ^ ' whose house sold the State dispen- h ' sary the 21,000,000 labels in 1905 for $35,000, out of which grew the! l, charge of the State that Towill, Boy- cj : kin, Tatum, Goodman and Weiskopf p formed a conspiracy to defraud the sa I State out of $22,500, was a spectator h< ' in the court during the trial of this ^ \ case, he having testified for the g. State yesterday. As a result, he will 0I , get a nol pros entered against him, w , according to an agreement he made , with Attorney General Lyon before s0 agreeing to testify. This agreement w . has been referred to time and again ar , in the present trial. in L T. B. Felder, of Atlanta, who was the attorney of the Ansel windingup commission, entered into the [ agreement with Weiskopf, whereby the latter agreed to testify for the u* 1 State on the condition that the indictments against him for conspiracy and perjury were nol prossed. The c* attorney general agreed to this on *? the condition that Weiskopf come to th South Carolina and testify wheneyer u* > he was needed, and to carry out this fo ' agreement he gave bond in the sum t0 5 of $10,000. His firm further agreed ^ to return part of the label purchase to money to the State whenever all in- cc > dictments against Weiskopf were nol cl > prossed, and deposited $7,500 in a p' trust company in Cincinnati, in the m . nam** of t R ttplhpr. .T. S flravdon. , attornev for John T. Early, and the m Of j attorney for Weiskopf, to be turned 01 over to the State whenever the criminal indictments against Weiskopf ct were dismissed. ^ Hard on Goodman. cl M. A. Goodman, the liquor drummer, who is charged with having been | the "go-between" who engineered the deal between the dispensary j OC board and Weiskopf and Early, and who turned State's evidence and is p1 f now living in California, was bitterly ' denounced by the lawyers for the de- ^ 1 fence in their speeches. "Where is Goodman and why isn't he here to testify?" shouted W. H. r re . Welch. "Goodman is a dirty little ? contemptible scoundrei, whom Weis> kopf, his confederate, swore he wouldn't believe on oath," exclaimed Col. P. H. Nelson. "He is a selfL confessed thief and a cowardly little pi wretch," was another expression used describing Goodman. He was , flayed and scored by counsel for the Pj defence, who held him up to ridicule ? ( and scorn throughout their speeches. m Attorney General Lyon, Solicitor j W. H. Cobb and Mr. W.' F. Stevenson i sc all scored the label deal in their i 7 speeches and said that while the de-1 ei fence would make Goodman out a i , scoundrel now, still he was the intit mate friend and associate of Towill, n< . Boykin and Tatum in 1905, during . the label purchase. w <4r!-rvA/^r>*?OTi V?oo n r r\r\ _ J \JUVULUUU UUO VII UXiUJ gj hatred of the grafters and made sev- dj eral people uncomfortable since he to " agreed to testify for the State," said Attorney General Lyon in his speech pi to the jury. ai Savoring of Politics. ^ ' The political feeling underlying oi the trial made itself manifest when | tl Col. P. H. Nelson, of counsel for the i sc 5 defence, said in his speech, "not the j ei ' attorney general has been given the j st r last speech in this case, but W. F. w * Stevenson, the attorney who comes! v< j " here for blood money to ask you to a] e convict the defendants. I tell you w if everything should come out about T how the dispensary winding-up af- lc s fairs have been conducted it would tl .. make the hair of the people of o] ERDICT UCHLAND JUR> hit Boykin and W. 0 cent of Conspiring the State Duth Carolina stand up, stan traight upon end at the manner i hich things have been run and a ovtravacmnno that has hpp lown." Mr. Stevenson, in reply, declare lat his employment as additions mnsel had been authorized by th gislature and that i:a one case alon ^ had helped in saving for th :ate $300,000. "All I got for five years' work, 5 said in reply to a question of or Dsing counsel, "was $12,500." "You make that as a positive aj irtion?" queried Attorney W. ? elson. Witnesses for Defence. Gen Wilie Jones was the first wil sss called by the defence in th Label" trial this morning. He wa lestioced by Col. E. L. Asbill as t )hn Bell Towill's reputation fo uth and veracity, which he sai as good. Mr. P. H. Corley testified to Tc ill's good character and reputatioi i also did Mr. S. P. George, forme erk of court of Lexington countj id president of the National ban : that place. Mr. Stevenson asked witness if h id heard of any foreclosures c ortgages going on against Towil e said he had not. Mr. S. J. Leaphart, postmaster c exington, testified to Towill's goo laracter and reputation, as did Mi . H. Hendrix, of Leesville. The iid they knew nothing of any ware juse trouble between Towill and r. Jones, growing out of some liti ition over alleged mismangemen 1 the part of Towill. The characte itnesses for John Bell Towill cor uded the testimony, and Col. Ne] ?n and Col. Asbill announcing the ould offer no further testimony, th guments were begun, each side be g allowed two hours. The Arguments. Attorney General Lyon opened fo e State, and spoke for forty min :es. He was followed by E. L. As 11, of counsel for Towill, who bega: s argument at 10:40. Col. Asbil osed at 11:10 o'clock and was fol wed by Solicitor W. H. Cobb, fo e State, who spoke for fifteen min ;es. R. H. Welch, Esq., of counss r L. Whit Bovkin, followed Solici r Cobb, opening his argument a 1:30 and concluding at 11:55. At rnev McLaughlin, of Bishopville, o ?unsel for W. O. Tataum, following osing his argument at 12:14. Co] . H. Nelson commenced speakin mediately following, concluding a 15. Then W. F. Stevenson, Esq ade the closing argument for th ;ate, concluding at 2:20 p. m. Before the judge commenced th Large Attorney General Lyon mad ie statement that as W. O. Tatur id gone on the stand and made ear explanation of the whole mat r, and as under the law he ha< )thing to do -with the label pui iase, he would not ask the jury t invict Tatum, thus practically drop ng the case against him, and mafe g it certain that a verdict of "no lilty" would be returned in Ta m's ease. The judge charged the jury, th icords were given to them and the stired to their room at 2:30 to fin verdict. The Goo-Goo Eyes. Bill and his son, Bud, were at antation store one night, and a ver irk night, too, listening to a phone 'aph, playing and talking. Th ece that struck them most was th 3k)0-Goo Eyes," a piece of rag tim usic, bordering on the vulgar. The owner of the store had thre >ns and each of these boys was a ill of mischief as any boys in exist ice. They were not mean?jus in loving?wanting something t ugh about and talk about?som jw fun for each day in the week. While Bill and his boy, Bud, wer atcliing and listening to the phone *aph so intently these three boy sappeared, but of course no on >ok any notice of their leaving. The owner of the store kept o ltting new records in the machine id the time passed off rapidlj at the store was closed, and eac ae present went different ways fo leir homes. Bill and Bud were hot :ary, and it was not often that eLtt * ventured out at night, so the ;arted for their home in a bris alk, and they had not proceede 3ry far before just to their righ ppeared three objects the like c hich they had never seen befon hey stopped, and took a carefi >ok at the fearful objects. Thes lings had blood red eyes as big a ae's fist, bigger mouths than an I KICKED TO DEATH BY MULE. j j Tragic End of Aged Georgia Con- B federate Veteran. Atlanta, Ga., June 2.?While trying to hitch his mule to a wagon, . Calvin Gorman, aged 86, was knock- ri ed down and killed by the animal at sc his home in this county yesterday. { When he failed to return to the 01 house within a reasonable time, his 11 aged wife went to investigate and H found his body, L Q 4 Mr. Gorman was a well known n Confederate veteran and the couple Lt had been married sixty-five years, n - C human ever had; tremendous and d serrated or saw-like teeth, all as red i! as crimson, and to make matters - - .i- --- r K t: worse, mere was inree 01 mese iear- e ful things glaring at them like de- SI e mons from the land of the furies. a Bud was the first to speak. Said he: J? "Paw, dere's ole satan and two of > his sons." "No, Bud," said Bill, "dem's de r J- 'Goo-Goo Eyes' what dat vehicle in 5- de store played ternight." Si "Paw, dere's no use standin' here, let's light a rag." t- "Dat's up ter you, Bud, but mine e done lit." 5 "Paw, you'd better burn your rag, *a o fer I'm goin' burn mine now." 31 >r "Go your route Bud, your ole rc d daddy's here wid you." ^ Just about this time Bill and Bud t* )- ran against something like a rope tc l, tied across the road, and down went tc r both of them sprawling into the sand. ei r, Looking back they saw those fear- w k ful things right on them, and both ** Bill and Bud lost no time in gaining e their feet, and the boy being more w if active than the father was the first t)< I. to get up, and down the road he a dashed like an arrow. ?Bill was also e( if making good speed, but seeing the d boy gaining on mm at sucn an aiarmr. ing rate, he thought it would be best a? y for he himself to dodge behind a ai j- nearby pine, and let the ''Goo-Goo w a Eyes" pursue Bud, who it seemed ? [- was in no danger of being overtaken. tc Lt So Bill yelled out: "Run, Bud run," ** r and he dashed behind a pine and lay i- down, but in a minute there was one e* t- of the fearful things right over ?* y him. M e "Oh; dear Saviour," shouted Bill, *- "de goo-goo eyes is got me shore. sc Oh Lord!" 01 Bill, however didn't stay "got" by st the goo-goo eyes, for up he got and ~ _ off he dashed, running over small _ (_ trees, over tangled vines, brush-piles, knocked down a rail fence, and made = ,j every possible near-cut for his home. !_ In the meantime Bud had reached r home, and in all haste and earnest- SI _ ness told the family, a large one, ^ that old satan and two of his sons ?] _ had got after he and his father, that t he had outrun them, that they had = _ caught his father, for he heard him ^ hollow when they caught him, and tfc , that he knew they had burned him up Ci J' ore this for he saw the fire inside of ? all three of them, and the best thing t to do was to shut up the house, put ? out the lights, and keep quiet, for, ? - . , ca e the three satans were coming aown jl the road toward their house. ai e In less time than it takes to tell of 0 it the house was shut up as securely e , fc Q as it could be, the fire put out, and m a the inmates waited in breathless si- in lence for developments. They did 01 A not have long to wait, for up sprang tr Bill i:ito the piazza, and with all the p(( 0 force he had butted down the door H and fell sprawling into the floor. The = family peeped out into the darkness __ lt and down the road came three fearL_ ful objects, making a bee-line for di the house. There was a wail raised e in that house. Women and children y screaming,* Bill hollowing and Bud ? 3 praying with greater fervor than he ^ had ever prayed before. It was 0i bedlam pure and simple. p< Now, these fearful objects were S1 21] made by the three boys above men- g a tioned, and these boys saw at once, tl y that they had carried their fun to the id >- limit, so they put down the awful tc e things, and proceeded to the house, e and told the family that they were in e the makers of this mischief, and that cc "boogers" were nothing more than e large gourds with holes cut in the n< s sides, a piece of red flannel sewed :- over these holes and a lighted candle = it Dut inside the gourd. This quieted _ o the family, but Bill could not be e quieted. So one of the boys went a back and brought one of the gourds e so Bill could see it for himself, but ^ >- when Bill saw it in the house, out he s dashed and down the road he went ? e like a tornado. Getting some dis- ^ tance from the house he shouted ty n back: D i, "Farewell world! I'm gwine ter t, glory, jess becaze I seed dem goo-goo ~~ h eyes!" si r The three boys and Bill's family 111 el h wer all standing on the piazza, listen- ^ i- ing at Bill racing down the road, ty y and one of the boys said: ic k "Gee! Uncle Bill is doing some d good running now." it Bill's big fat wife replied: fc if "Dat's rite, an' if he goes on in ? ic j. dat brief haste, it won't take him tj. il long to git to glory." ? Bill, however, survived, and is = .s still with the father of the three fun- _ y loving boys. A. W. BRABHAM. SAVED LIFE OF LADY. ut Brave Negro Came Near LosL His Own.
