GOVERNOR'S CHAFFEUR FINED.
Pays Up and Appeals Case on Ground
of Illegality.
Columbia, April 28.?Harrison
Neely, colored, the chaffeur of Governor
Blease, was fined $5.75 this
morning in the recorder's court on
the charge of violating the speed ordinance
of the city. The negro paid
the fine and then gave notice of ap
peal to the circuit court.
The grounds on which the appeal
to the circuit court are based are
that the speed ordinance is in violation
of the constitution of the State
and of the code of laws, because the
sentence is illegal and excessive, and,
' to quote the language of the formal
appeal, "Because the verdict is contrary
to the evidence in said case and
? ? ^ t Vi rem crVi maila n d
Wcl5 1C11UC1CU luiuu^u uiuiivv uuv.
prejudice against the chief executive
of this State, whose driver the said
Harrison Neely is."
The negro chaffeur was driving the
automobile up Lady street and was
coming up a hill, near the jail, when
the alleged offence was committed.
City Jailer Marion P. Kramer reported
the case. The negro claims that
he was not exceeding the speed limit,
which is 15 miles per hour. He was
alone in the car at the time and was
returning from an errand on which
he had been sent.
This morning made the third time
in the past few weeks that the Governor's
chaffeur has been fined for
violating the speed ordinances of the
city. The first time he was given a
fine of $3.75, the second a fine of
$15.75, and this morning he was assessed
$5.75. It will be recalled that
a sensation was sprung the first time
the negro was fined by Governor
Blease charging that it was none
through prejudice on- the part of the
city authorities to him, and he was
f reported as threatening the city with
martial law. He finally said that he
intended to sue the city for assessing
the fine of $3.75 against his chauffeur
and said that it would prove the
most costly fine the city of Columbia
and county of Richland ever collected.
"I will show you before the end
of the year," he stated at the time.
GREEN AND PAIGE PAROLED.
Men Serving Life Sentence for Mur- V
der Set Free.
Columbia, April 26.?E. D. Green
and John L. Paige, two young white in
men, of Spartanburg County, who M
were convicted of having murdered d;
Ben Carson while he was lying asleep M
because of the love which Green bore m
Mrs. Fannie Carson, wife of Ben Car- B
son, were today paroled by Gover- ei
nor Blease on condition of good be- pi
havior. Mrs. Fannie Careon, who en- re
?- ? J a* Vi AT* V? n o_ -Vl
gnieert;u. me pivc u.? nuau u.^.i uuoband
was foully put out of the way, pi
was paroled by former Governor An- T
sel. si
The crime happened in Spartan- ta
burg County eighteen years ago and
was said to have been one of the in
most coldblooded ever perpetrated in tt
South Carolina. Ben Carson, with D
his wife, Mrs. Fannie Carson, were gi
living on their farm in upper Spar- ti
tanburg County. He was a young
man and a respected farmer and his si
wife was a very attractive woman. n<
With them boarded E. D. Green, a sc
young school teacher, and John L. sa
Page, another young white man, lived d<
on the Carson place. d<
Story of the Murder. ai
Green was a young man with good m
manners, and he and Mrs. Carson
were said to have been much in each w
other's company. Ben Carson, all ai
unsuspecting, was going about his tt
daily tasks unmindful of the plot W
which was hatching in his own house. b<
Mrs. Carson and young Green, it is 01
alleged, soon become so enamored of h;
each other that they began plotting tt
how to get rid of Ben Carson.
Once Mrs. Carson is said to have pi
tried to poison her husband, but fail- fo
ed. It was then that she is alleged tt
to have resorted to sterner and more S(
certain methods. b{
Consulting with Green and calling h<
in the aid of Paige, the plot is said
to have been hatched. One quiet bz
moonlight night as Ben Carson was m
sleeping he was killed. A window ai
had been left open and it was charged
that Green and Paige silently stole re
through the window and into the fr
room where the sleeping man lay. Gi
Carson was brained and his throat st
cut with a razor to make assurances
doubtly certain. M
The Three Suspected. st
Suspicion at once centered on Mrs. n<
Carson, Green and Paige, and they kl
were arrested and arraigned for the
murder of Ben Carson. Terror- ^
stricken Mrs. Carson turned State's of
evidence, and on the stand told of the
awful plot, of her love for E. D. Green M
and outlined the scheme by which ^
Ben Carson was put out of the way. er
The trial took place at Spartanburg te
in the fall cf 1895, with Judge Jos.
H. Earle presiding and Solicitor fo
Schumpert prosecuting the cases. -1
Mrs. Fannie Carson and John' L.
Paige were. found guilty of murder "
with recommendation to mercy and t0
sentenced to life imprisonment in the
State Penitentiary. E. D. Green was ol
found guilty of murder and sehtenced
to be hanged. An appeal in his
case to the Supreme Court resulted ^
in a new trial being ordered, and in *?1
.Tnnp 1897. with Judee Buchanan ec
presiding and Solicitor T. S. Sease, w
now Judge, appearing for the State,
Green was found guilty of murder &1
with recommendation to mercy and oe
sent to the Penitentiary for life, se
where his two companions had al- la
ready preceded him.
Many Appeals for Clemency.
No similar case had so stirred Spar- ^
tanburg and the upper part of South
Carolina. No sooner were Mrs. Carson
and the two men in the Peniten- _
ti<
tiarv than efforts were begun to seal
cure clemency for them. Appeals
were made to each Governor, but
without avail until Governor Ansel's
term, when he finally pardoned Mrs.
Fannie Carson and permitted her to
go back to Spartanburg.
With Mrs. Carson free efforts to ge*
Green and Paige out were renewed.
Finally a petition for clemency in
Green's case filed with Governor ,
tc
Blease contained 1,215 signatures, ^
235 of wliom were ladies of Spartan- ^
burg County. Judge Sease, who

BODIES HID IN CELLAR.
r'onum Tells Police Why She Put
Them There.
A queer case was brought to light
i St. Louis, Mo., when the bodies of
rs. Ernestine Kommichau and her
aughter, Selrua, were unearthed
Wednesday afternoon in the baselent
of a building at 2412 South
roadway, Marie Kommichau, anothr
daughter confined in the City HosLtal
with a broken leg, is under ar
?st and will be held pending an instigation.
The three women occu:ed
the house three months ago.
hree weeks ago, Marie said, her
ster had died and the mother had
iken the body to Illinois for burial.
Albert Stuhr, owner of the buildLg,
visited the premises and reported
le peculiar odor to the authorities,
etectives located the newly made
:ave and the bodies were found parally
encased in concrete.
"Before my mother died, she made
ster and me promise that we would
Dt take her body out of the house,
> the undertakers could get her,"
iid Miss Kommichau. "We had no
Dctor for her?there has not been a
Dctor in our house for ten years
id a good doctor could have done
other no good.
"I put her body in a showcase,
hicii we took from the notion store,

le glass cracks to keep the air out.

idy upstairs in a rear room. No

"When sister died, I knew that peo*

und out I was keeping her body
ley would ask about mother, too.
) I told the neighbors that mother
id died and that Selma had taken
?r to Illinois for burial.
"Then I took both bodies into the
isement. I laid them on the baseent
floor and poured plaster paris
id cement over them."
Marie said that she needed help in
amoving the body of her mother
om the showcase and called in a
srman woman who was passing the
ore and whom she never saw before.
"She was clumsy," continued
arie, "and was no help. I told her
le needn't mind about staying. I
2ver saw her again and I don't
low whether she ever told any one."
Marie said that one man, Adam
Umeroth, living in the city, knows
' the deaths.
"He is a very religious man," said
arie. "He has called on us now and
len for a long while. He said prays
over mother's body and over sisr's
body. I don't think he knew the
)dies were buried in the basement,
r I don't remember of ever telling
m."
Marie asked the police not to allow
:e bodies of her mother and sister
i be removed from the house. Mrs.
rnestine Kommichau was 79 years

WOODEN CANNON EFFECTIVE.
ras Used With Success in Modern
Times by West Indians.
Anyone familiar with the construcon
of modern weapons of warfare
id the high explosives used in them
ould naturally suppose a cannon
ade of wood would be of little or
i value as a weapon.
Wooden cannons have been used
ith considerable success, neverthess,
in recent revolutions in Cuba,
am, ana in tne uoinmicciii reyuuiit.
The wood used in the construction
f these crude weapons is a very
ugh variety, having a twisted grain
tat curls about the log in such a way
lat to split the timber with the
"dinary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected and a
ece of the log five or six feet in
ngth and about one foot in diameter
cut. After the bark has been reoved
and the log made round, it is
vung upon a crude truss and a hole
burned into it from one end. The
>g is wound with strips of rawhide
it from the skin of a steer. When
le cannon is covered with the strips
: hide, another layer is wound on,
id this is continued until the weapi
has increased several inches in
iameter.
After the log is covered and the
ire is finished, the weapon is treat1
to a hot draft, which tends to conact
the hide binding and which bemies
almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannon have been
red with success in numbers of inances
and it is astonishing the num3r
of times they may be fired before
ley burst or become otherwise disDled.?Harper's
Weekly.

See than to earn a decent living.
CHESTER VETERAN MURDERED.
John Q. Lewis Victim of Foul Deed. O]
No Clue Yet.
Chester, April 25.?John Q. Lewis,
an old Confederate soldier, was mur- j0
dered at his home, three miles west ^
of Cornwell in this county last night,
the motive evidently being robbery, aj
as a watch and pistol belonging to the 0f
deceased were missing. This morning
the murder was discovered by James w
Dove, a farm hand, when he went to
the house to perform morning chores, ^
and the alarm was spread hurriedly
through the neighborhood. Sheriff ev
Colvin and deputies arrived on the
scene early, but a vigorous search has
not yet resulted in the apprehension 0?
of the assassin. fr
It was at first thought that it might 0l
have been a case of suicide, but the
finding of two1 wounds, one in the m
side and the other in the back, dis- st
counted this theory and the coroner's
jury brought in a verdict of death at fil
the hands of some unknown party. ti(
However it was necessary to continue w.
the inquest on account of scarcity of in
testimony. 0f
Mr. Lewis lived alone at some distance
from the nearest neighbor, and qi
as he was a man of some means it is jn
the general opinion that he was mur- w;
dered for money that he was supposed
to have on the premises. Most of his w;
money, however, was in the bank at
Chester, and the sum of forty dollars, W(
which was in the house, was not ar
found by the murderers.

same time aiding, the cracksman to th
pursue his nefarious work with much ni
more dispatch, than ever before. The
modern burglar now spurns the clum- aD
sy outfit of crowbar, jimmies, g
and skeleton keys. He knows a trick
worth a dozen of those. * He carries a 0,3
few ounces of nitroglycerine, and a
blowpipe. With these easily concealed ye
tools he can force his way through to
the toughest stel. eE
The blowpipe is the deadly enemy m
which the safe manufacturer is now Ai
trying, with the aid of science, to cir- r.e
cumvent. Under the intense heat that m
it generates the strongest steel crumpies
up like paper. A circle some two ^
feet in diameter can be cut through y
the metal, even if an inch thick, in a ro
few minutes. nc
A steel plate which a shell from a ^
4.5 gun fails to dent will fall an easy m
victim to a few cubic feet of oxygen
and acetylene gas in combination.
When the thermite process for weld- tu
ing iron was discovered, advantage Wil
was immediately taken of this for the gl
purpose of burning through plates of v
steel.
Deadly forces must be handled t0
with care and an exact knowledge of
the power of which they are capable. ^
It is not for the reckless or the bung- ^
ler to toy with the blowpipe or nitroglycerine.
So Raffles sets to work to
acquire a scientific knowledge and
skill of manipulation that, if put to
some legitimate use, might open up ..

Quite recently a safe-breaker, g
whose successful career was suddenC6
ly halted by the law, fairly amazed
expert scientists by the completeness *
of his library, which comprised a val- ^
uable collection of books in French ,
la
and German written by scientists for
S
presentation to technical societies. He
made a specialty of the subject of the at
force of the blowpipe on metals. He ^
admitted that he had spent three
years in this study. A laboratory ^
adjoining his library was small and
compact, but for completeness of D
equipment would have done credit to
a science school. In this laboratory gc
he had made some improvements.
No sooner does the scientist dis- ^
cover some tremendous force than he ?
P<
must set to work to counteract that
force in the hands of the criminal. It
is said that recent experiments have

Opelousas, La., April 26.?All 0p<
usas, the home of little Robert Dui
ir, yesterday acclaimed the chil
ken from Walters, the tinker, an
leged kidnaper, as the long lost so
tneir fellow townsmen.
The town went wild with deligl
hen Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Dunbar an
e boy alighted from the train froi
bw Orleans during this afternoon.
A "half holiday had been declare<

as decorated with flags and bun
g and a band of more than a scoi
joyous musicians blared out "Hon:

hich were deemed appropriate.
The Dunbars, literally weepin
ith joy, fought their *way throug
e throngs of men and women wh
are bent upon shaking their hanc
id kissing the boy. Mr. Dunbar an
Liittle Bobbie," with a commits
mded by Mayor Loeb, rode on
jok and ladder wagon at the head c
procession which passed throug
e principal streets to the Dunba

an a hundred automobiles and cai
ages.
"That's the kid," "That's Bobbie!
id similar expressions indicating th

When little Alonzo Dunbar, od

WALTERS A GREATER PUZZLE.
d Identity of Alleged Kidnaper of Paul
liunbar a Mystery.
New Orleans, April 26.?A mystery /
i_ within a mystery has developed in the
d Dunbar kidnaping case and to-day
d the identity of William C. Walters,
n the alleged kidnaper, is puzzling the
authorities more than the question of
it the identity of the child which the
d Dunbars have accepted as their boy.
3! Evidence was obtained to-day which,
indicates there are two William Walters,
both of about the same age, both
itinerant tinkers and traders, no relaa
tion and born a thousand miles apart,
n but both frequenters of the same seels
tio-ns of Misissippi and Louisiana and
d both so much alike that the neighbors
k of one readily recognize him in the
!_ photograph of the other. *
ie More than a score of county offici[q
als and prominent citizens of Jones
d County, Miss., have identified the
photograph of William C. Walters,'
n alleged kidnapper, as that of a native
t_ of that county, who was sent to the
e Tennessee State prison about twelve
ie years ago on a Federal charge. The
man in prison denied he was ever in
ie prison and said he is a native of
-s Robeson County, North Carolina. A
letter received today from Charles M.
g Blackledge, of Lalisheek, La., states
h that the Jones County, Miss., William
0 Walters, the one who was in the Ten[S
nessee prison, is working for a lumd
