ADMIT THEIR CAR KILLED LAD.
Greenville Farmer and Son Surrender?Tell
of Fatal Accident.
Greenville, Dec. 15.?After a night
of reflection on the fact that the life
of an innoceflt child had been ground
out beneath the wheels of his speeding
automobile, and that he had not
paused to lend succor to the dying
boy or to speak a word of regret to
the heart-broken parents, D. B. Jent-ino
o wf'i.tn.do farmer, of the low
muO) u " ' * vw ? ? ,
er section of the county, and his 16year-old
son, Clyde, came to the city
this morning and surrendered to the
sheriff as the parties who occupied
the automobile which caused the
death of little Irvin Wrenneck, who
who was fatally injured on Augusta
street Saturday afternoon by their
car.
Jenkins stated that he had his
wife, two daughters and his son in
the machine at the time of the accident;
that the son was driving the
on/? tViot Vio hp had run
VU1 auu iriiuv uv a
over the boy and probably injured
him fatally. When questioned as to
why they did not stop after running
over the child, the boy stated that he
wanted to stop, but the women in the
car became frightened and insisted
on his speeding on.
After arriving at home, it is said,
the family went over to a neighbor's
house and talked the matter over,
and that the father and son were advised
to come to the city this morning
and surrender. The two drove to
town this morning and went to the
home of the -dead child. Upon finding
that the family had gone to bury
the child, Jenkins and nis son started
back toward the city, when they were
met by the sheriff and the chief of
police and taken into custody.
The police entered charges of reck.
less driving and exceeding the speed
limit against Clyde Jenkins and released
him on bail in the sum of $50.
The county authorities will not take
any action against the parties until
after the coroner's inquest, which
will be held to-morrow afternoon.
ATLANTA'S RECORD OF CRIME.
Chinaman Killed, Woman Attacked
by Burglar, Pickpockets.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 15.?One man
shot and killed, one woman probably
fatally atacked with a club, and the
appearance of pickpockets, who made
at least four unsuccessful attempts
at robbery, marked the crime record
of Atlanta last night and during
the early hours this morning.
Sing Kee, Chinese laundryman,
about 35 years old, was shot through
the heart and killed in his place of
business. The body was discovered
by a negro shortly after midnight
this morning. No motive for the
crime has yet been established by
the police and no arrests made. Kee
had about $600 on his person and in
the cash drawer of the laundry,
which was not molested.
In a struggle with a lrglar,
whom she discovered in her bed
room, Mrs. Mollie Rauzin, 55 years
old, and a widow, was struck across
? * * J
the head witn a ciuo anu pruuaw.v
fatally hurt. She was still unconscious
in a local hospital to-night.
After injuring the woman the burglar
escaped without taking anything.
Two negroes were arrested just after
they had picked the pockets of a
man and a woman on the streets.
The woman's purse was thrown away
by the thief in a struggle he had with
the police, but a gold watch taken
from the man by another negro was
recovered. Two other robbery attempts
were reported to the police.
The police say half a dozen pofessional
pickpockets have invaded the
city.
A Street Peril for Girls.
It is the procuresses?women?
who are now most to be feared;
they are working with awful activity
* and audacity, and they go for the
easiest prey?girls of the well-to-do
classes whose ignorance of life
and unsuspiciousness render them
ready victims at the first opportunity.
Even if their suspicions are
aroused they easily lose their heads.
A well-dressed young lady about 20
was walking down a well-known
street, partly residential and partly
a fashionable shopping center. Two
"nurses" asked her their way to a
place in the direction she was walking.
They walked on with her and
presently fell in one on each side.
Then they began to hustle her and
i.-dd her she must come with them.
In her fright she appealed to a policeman.
One of the nurses dropped
behind and, looking at the policeman,
significantly tapped her forehead.
The man was deceived,
thought it a mental case, and told
the girl she had better go on with
her friends and it would be all right.
A little later, passing a shop where
she was known, she rushed in frantically,
but when she looked round the
"nurses" had gone. It is said that
certain taxi drivers are in the pay of
these brutes, but I know no authenticated
instance.?London World.
TURNED LOOSE BY BLEASE.
Wealthy Abbeville Man is frYeed bj
the Governor.
I
R. A. Richey, a wealthy white
man of Abbeville county, serving a
ten-year sentence in the penitentiary
for assault upon a little white girl
was turned loose by Gov. Blease or
| Thursday, with the requirement that
he enter into bonds of $5,000 tc
1 be certified, to by the clerk of court
of Abbeville county, and that he present
himself before the governor or
November 23, 1913, for such actior
then as the governor may deem wise.
Richey was released from the penitentiary
Thursday afternoon and left
at once for his home in Abbeville
county, where his wife and daughters
are. Richey, a wealthy white planter,
of Abbeville county, was convicted
of stautorv rape in the spring ot
1910, his alleged victim being a
young white girl, who was living in
his home, and who was said to have
been under 14 years of age at the
time the offence was alleged to have
been committed.
The board of pardons recommended
a parole for Richev and they stated
that the alleged victim appeared
with the matron of the Door of Hope,
where she now is residing, and declared
that Richey had been sufficiently
punished and asked for clemency.
In the reasons given out by
the governor it is stated that Richey
at present is a hopeless invalid, unable
to leave his bed at the penitentiary,
and several physicians have so
pronounced him. Richev's farm is
within a few miles of Abbeville and
attracted widespread interest on account
of the prominence of the man
accused.
$1,000 OX TEX-ACRE FIELD.
Anderson County Farmer Makes
UnwPcc rkf T .nn on fitnnle Cotton.
ouvv^ot> v/? ? p, r-- Anderson,
Dec. 15.?B. J. Smith,
a well-known farmer of this county,
made a yield of cotton on ten acres
of land this season, which may break
the record for the State for the
amount of money received from that
sized piece of ground. Mr. Smith
planted long staple cotton and sold
seven bales, which were picked before
the frost, for 19 cents per
pound. Four bales picked after
frost, which was not so good a staple,
brought 16 cents per pound. The
eleven bales, with the seed, will
amount to $1,000 for ten acres ol
land. The cost of cultivation and
fertilizers was about the same as for
short staple.
The yield of cotton for the county
as a whole for this season is very
t
short. Last year this county raised
S2,000 bales, according to the government
census, and this year the
yield will be between 55,000 and
60,000 bales. Most of the crop has
been sold, very little having been
put in the warehouses.
FIRE AT BARNWELL.
Second Blaze of Week Visits the
Town.
Barnwell, Dec. 14.?The second
fire of the week occurred this morning
when the cottage owned by Mrs.
Elizabeth D. Rhodes, of Augusta,
Ga., and occupied by F. M. Cave was
totally destroyed. The fire started
about 8:30 o'clock and was caused
by a defective kitchen flue. The
flames spread so rapidly that it was
impossible to save but about one-half
of the furniture. Mr. Cave carried
no insurance and it is not known at
.this time whether Mrs. Rhodes carried
any or not. The cottage was
situated in a thickly populated section
of town and but for the fact that
the morning was absolutely still untold
damage would probably have
resulted from the spreading flames.
DEATH DENIED HER, SHE SAYS.
Wreck Victim Asks $40,000 Because
Crew Wouldn't Kill Her.
Mrs. Rosie Greco, maimed victim
of the Montz wreck, in which nearly
a score of persons lost their lives,
says a New Orleans special to the
New York Sun, has filed suit for
$40,000 damages against the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley Railroad. Mrs.
Greco alleges that she repeatedly
begged employees of the railroad
company to kill her and end her misery,
but that they refused.
The woman now is in a New Orleans
hospital, and her condition still
is critical. One of her arms has been
amputated, and she has undergone
other and more serious operations.
The petition sets forth that she
was pinned under the wreckage with
the flames gradually searing her
flesh, while members of the crewstood
near. Then when her flesh be" n"

to be killed, but still there was no
response. Finally when she was extricated,
she was left lying in the
open until the arrival of the relief
train from New Orleans, several
hours after the wreck.
Physicians say she never will live
to know the outcome of her pathetic
position.
