I General Public in Greenville Appalled E L " by the Charges. The trustees of the Odd Fellows' ts Orphan home will insist on a special term of court for trying T. U. Vaughn, former superintendent of the orphanage, who is charged with ht committing an assault on one of the id little girls under his care, at the 3d time he was in charge of the instiB. tution. of The trustees state that they are in B. no wise anxious to prejudice the case e, by wanting a special term of the ); court, but feel that the offense charge, ed against Vaughn is so henious the I 1- matter ought to be removed from the y. public's nostrils at the earliest possiis ble moment not only for the good of *? the order, but for the benefit of so10 ciety. >h Details of the charges preferred s- against Vaughn, not known before e- have been divulged to the News and fe 8- Courier correspondent. The warrant shows that the young man is chargi with not one, but three offenses; ie and not only is it alleged that he m committed a criminal assault upon d the person of a girl under 14 years, ie but he is charged with afterwards | ie living in adultery with her and later I ie administering to her certain treat- | r. ment which relieved her of a delicate physical condition. The trustees are holding in re e serve, they say, evidence which if ts given to the public would perhaps is eclipse anything in the annals of it crime in this entire country. While t- Vaughn is charged with assaulting ^ only one of the little girls, it is alte leged that he wronged five or six of ? d his charges. Details of the life he is 1, said to have lived while in charge of is the orphan home cannot be published a at this time and perhaps can never le be published. r- It is authoritatively stated that the se firm of McCuullough, Martin & Blythe a will represent the accused at his trial, je It is common talk that a fee of $2,d 500 was necessary to retain counsel. There are friends and admirers of ? te the young man who positively refuse it to lend credence to the report of his 's alleged conduct, and yet they recog- .< n nize that the charges are preferred > by sane, conservative and upright te men and that the warrant was issued te only after mature deliberation and d conference on the part of the truse. tees. For seven years Vaughn was su- . perintendent.of the orphan home. He >- studied for the ministry at a local inr stitution, later took charge of a highis school in the upper part of the coun>t tf, and went from there to the ore phanage. He is now assistant superd intendent of the largest Sundays' school in the city and teacher of a i- Bible class. n The matter has appalled the general public and on all sides men are e heard to say their minds cannot grasp y. the hei nousness of the accusations d against this man, who ha.s enjoyed a the public's confidence for so many e years.?Greenville Special to News and Courier. e n Rharie Seeking Another Job. s Washington, D.

This morning she called to .see her j father and as she stepped forward to H kiss him he grasped her by the throat ^ with both hands and was strangling her when guards beat him into unre consciousness; with an iron bar. cs Later he was led to the gallows and j hanged without expression of regret for his crimes or his assault upon iS his daughter.
