BRAMLETT JURY SAYS "GUILTY." j Motion for New Trial AY ill lie Heard j This Morning. Greenville, Sept. 11.?A verdict of guilty of murder was returned at 8 o'clock tonight by the jury in the case of Hugh T. Bramlett, who was placed on trial in the court of General sessions here on Wednesday morning of last week charged with the murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs. K Lou McHugh, on June 18. The case has been the longest ever tried here. A special plea in insanity was made by the defense and numerous witnesses including Dr. J. W. Babcock former superintendent of the South Carolina asylum for the ini sane and other alienists were placed on the stand by the defense in support of this plea. The testimony was concluded yesterday noon and todaywas consumed with arguments and the charge by Judge James H. Peurifov. The case went to the jury about 6.40 p. m. and the verdict was reached in less than two hours. Immediately after hearing the ver^dict counsel for the defense made a .motion for a new trial. This motion will be heard by Judge Peurifov tomorrow morning. Under the verdict rendered by the jury the Judge would be obliged to sentence Bramlett to death in the electric chair. Had the verdict carried a recommendation to mercy, a sentence of life imprisonment might have been imposed. In fry' r* his charge to the jury the judge exEl . ? plained that should the jury come to the conclusion that Bramlett was inv; j. ^ sane their verdict would read. "Not ^ guilty, on account of insanity." The verdict therefore showed that the jury did not consider Bramlett . insane. The hilling of Mrs. McHugh by Bramlett was a sensational event. He drove up to the home on Pendleton street jumped out of his car, ran upon the porch, shot and fatally wounded Mrs. McHugh and seriously wounded Miss Peola McHugh, then jumped back in his car and drove off +V10 Ano-iicta rnaH tn hp pan y , ? tured by a posse at his home a number of miles from the city. The trial has aroused an usual degree of interest. INSISTS OX OLD BOUNDARY. gr^v . \ Georgia's Claim Answered By Attorney General Wolfe. \ Columbia, Sept. 12.?Samuel M. ^ Wolfe, Attorney General of South Carolina, has made a return to the complaint of the State of Georgia, filed with the United States Supreme Court, for hearing October 6, that there should be a rectification of the < boundary line between the two States along the line of the Savannah river. The State of .Georgia claims that the correct boundary should begin at the North Carolina line and should Tun along the ordinary mean water level of the northern or eastern banks of the Chattanooga, Tugaloo and Savannah rivers. The answer of the State of South Carolina contends that the convention of Beaufort concluded April 26, 1787, between the States of South Carolina >4 and Georgia established the boundary "from the most northern stream or branch of the river known as the Savannah at its entrance into the ocean at the confluence of the Tugaloo and fJUSTRI & f X T T 4 y A beautiful 1 .i Velours, Tricotiu x f t > ^ New and St] Velvets, and a fe Y ' T Beautiful Co onable as last sea i: | " % WEI T WE E % IKLAU T , T L Seneca (formerly Keewee), reserving all the islands of the rivers Tugaloo and Savannah up to the most northern branch or stream of the said Tugaloo river, namely, the Chattanooga river, to the North Carolina line on the 3">th degree or north latitude. the line being low watermark at the southern shore of the most northern stream of said rivers where the middle of the river is broken by islands and the middle thread of the stream where rivers flow in one stream or volume."
