ATTEMPT ASSAULT
IN ALLENDALE CO.
NEGRO FIRES FOUR SHOTS INTO
INTENDED VICTIM S BODY.
Girl is Expected to Die
Sheriff and Deputy With Large Number
of Citizens Hunt for
Assailant.
Allendale June 12.?A highly re
spected young white girl, residing in
the river section of Allendale county,
is not expected to live as a result of
four bullets fired into her breast at
her home this morning by a negro
man who attempted criminal assault.
Although Sheriff L. C. Bennett and
his deputy, L. R. Williams, assisted
by a large number of citizens, went
to the scene immediately after the
report, the negro had not been captured
late this afternoon.
The girl was alone at home at the
time of the crime, her father being in
the field at work. The negro, after
literally tearing her clothing into
shreds, and failing in his attempt, secured
a pistol kept in the home by
the girl's father, and fired the shots.
The crime was not known until her
father went home for dinner. He
, immediately spread the alarm and
physicians, officers and citizens
rushed to the scene.
The girl, who was still conscious
at an early hour this afternoon, described
the negro as being a tall yellow
negro. It is evident that he is
a stranger in that section of the county.
Citizens in the vicinity are highly
; wrought up over the crime, as well as
' those in other sections. Quite a number
of men left Allendale this after.
noon to assist in the hunt for the
. negro.
The girl concerned belongs to one
, of the best families in that section of
Allendale county.
ASSAULTED BY WOMAN?
Report Says Negro Girl Dressed as
Man, Shot Allendale Girl.
One of the most unusual crimes in
the history of this section was committed
Thursday morning when a
15-year-old white girl of the river
section of Allendale county, was shot
and probably fatally wounded by a
negro whom the girl later described
in overalls and wearing a slouch hat.
A sensational featurd of the affair
was brougjit to light Friday morning
when Sarah Pompey, a young ne'
gress, was arrested for the. crime, it
' being alleged that the Pompey wom
an went to the white girl's home
dressed as a man and securing a pis.
tol belonging to the girl's father, shot
the white girl through the breast.
The girl is not expected to live.
J. E. Smith, chief of police at AJlendale,
informed The Herald over
telephone Friday that considerable
race feeling existed on Thursday
when the girl's description of her as
sailant led the public to believe that
she had been assaulted by a negro
man, who failing to accomplish his
purpose had shot the girl. Now that
the crime has taken a new angle, the
people are nonplussed entirely and
are awaiting further developments.
Sarah Pompey, the negress, has
been carried to the county jail at
Barnwell for safe-keeping. She denies
the shooting or any knowledge
of it. Officers state that they traced
the negro woman to her home, and
while she was dressed in woman's
attire when arrested, a man's clothing
answering the description given
by the girl was found at the home of
the negress. Sarah Pompey lives only
about 200 yards from the white girl's
home. The girl was shot about 9
o'clock in the morning, and the
crime was not discovered until her
father returned to the house at noon.
Officers believe that the Pompey
woman could have heard the shooting
and gone to the girl's rescue had she
been at her home when the crime was
committed.
Sheriff L. C. Bennett and Deputy
L. R. Williams, assisted by citizens,
are crnnriner thp rnimtrv-side for a
mulatto negro answering the descrip1
tion given, although they are firmly
of the belief that Sarah Pompev is
the guilty party. Hundreds of citii
zens assisted in the search Thursday,
and there was considerable excitement
throughout this section.
Dr. F. H. Boyd, of Aflendale, who
is attending the wounded girl, holds
out no hope for her recovery.?Augusta
Herald, June 14.

?Col. J. C. Guilds spent Monday
in Sumter.
?R. P. Bellinger, Esq., left this
week for a vacation of several weeks
in North Carolina. Before returning
he will also visit for several weeks
in Atlanta, returning to Bamberg on
September 1, at which time he will
resume his law practice. Mr. Bellinger
returned from army service in
France only a week or two ago.
ASSASSINATION OF FRANCIS.
4
German Kaiser Implicated With Murder
of Austrian Archduke.
George Creel, former chairman of
the committee on public information,
made public in New York last Thursday
a summary of the secret correspondence
of Count Czernin, late foreign
min ster of Austria-Hungary,
which was turned over to Edgar Sisson,
at Prague by. the custodian officials
of the Bohemian government on
January 24, last. One of the most
sensational of the disclosures was
that there was a German-Magyar conspiracy
against the Archduqe Francis
Ferdinand, heir apparent to the
throne of Austria, who was assassinated
at Saraievn nn .Tune 24. 1914.
because he was considered a rival of
the then Emperor William.
Mr. Creel said Mr. Sisson accepted
the privilege of using the correspondence
in behalf of the United States
government. Translators and a photographer
in the service of the committtee
on public information were
set at work to translate the documents
for general publication in this
country as the final contribution of
the committtee, according to Mr.
Creel. He declared one copy was
to be turned over to Secretary of
State Lansing for use of the peace
conference commission investigating
responsibilities for the outbreak of
the war, while another was to be
sent to the committtee at Washington
for release to the press. He added
that Mr. Lansing's copy undoubtedly
was in his hands and that the
copy for the press probably was on
its way to this country.
In* a report to Mr. Sisson on the
scope of the letters, Capt. Immanuel
Vosko, U. S. A., head of the Prague
bureau of the committee on public
information, said:
"From the documents and letters
it will be shown that Francis Ferdinand
was working on building up a
strong Austria which would eventually
emancipate itself from the influenee
of Berlin. This was blocking
Berlin's plans for expansion toward
the east, and the Berlin government
came to an understanding with the
Budapest government to offset the
plans of Francis Ferdinand.
"From one of the letters it is evi^
4- f Lnl +Vi n.Ay?moTi cat)
ucui tiiac me uci uiau Luiygivi c ovu,
Eitel Frederick, was selected to study
the Magyar language and to make
friends of the Magyar nobility.
"Although no positive proof was
found from the documents on hand
as to the conspiracy to kill Archduke
Francis, it is sufficiently evident
that there was no conspiracy in
Serbia for that purpose? The archduke
was rather a friend of Serbia
in hatred of the Magyars, as he knew
of the conspiracy between the Berlin
and Budapest governments."
?Mr. Atmar Hariberry, formerly
of Denmark, but now a first-class machinist's
mate on the United States
submarine 0-11, who has been visiting
his mother, Mrs. L. E. Hanberry,
left Monday for Philadelphia to report
back for duty.
