AGED WOMX MURDERED.
Former Resident of Society Hill, S. C.
Slain Near Macon, Ga.
. Macon, May 10.?With six knife
wounds in her left arm and six similar
wounds in her neck, the body of
Mrs. W. M. Bairman, 60, widow of a
former assistant editor oi the Macon
Telegraph, was found near a well
traveled country road, three and a
half miles from Macon this morning.
A coroner's jury investigating the
case this afternoon held that she came
to her death at the hands of an unknown
assailant and that the same is
murder. Sheriff Hicks believes that
the woman was slain by a negro.
The entire sheriff's force of deputies
is-at work on the case. Rewards
have been offered for information
that may lead to the capture of the
guilty person. Numerous raids have
I been made during the day and again
tonight of negro quarters in various
quarters in various parts of the city
in an effort to find some trace of the
guilty person. Feeling is running
high.
Mrs. Bairman's husband came from
Lancaster, Pa., settling in Savannah
when 20 years of age. He had con'
j : ? n x !
unuea 111s resiueuce m creurgia, uuni
his death seven years ago. Mrs. Bairrnan
was Miss Annie Cleland Simons
Bacoat, of Society Hill, S. C., before
her marriage in Savannah in April,
1896.
; Mrs. Bairman had been in the habit
of taking an eight mile walk every
day and she always chose the road
! leading to Holton, on which she met
her death. She left her home, down
town, Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock,
after attending services at Christ
Episcopal church. Failing to return
at sundown the family conducted an
all night search in vain. Scores of
persons joined in the search today and
the body was found just off the main
road near the waterworks pumping
station.
There was evidence of a struggle,
Mrs. Bairman's clothing having been
torn. Her hand was lacerated by her
assailant in the fight that she put up.
Apparently failing in his purpose, in j
the opinion of the officers, the negro j
in his efforts to hide his crime slashed j
the woman's throat six times, severing
the jugular vein.
Sheriff Hicks and his deputies raided
a negro crap game near the scene
of the murder Sunday afternoon, two
of the negroes getting away. One of
| these, officers believe, may know
| something of the crime. The imprint

Case.

Columbia, May 9.?Joe H. Roberson,
of Greenville, game warden who
was dismissed by Wade Hampton
Gibbes, state game warden, according
to an opinion rendered to Governor
Cooper today by Capt. Morris C.
Lumpkin, assistant attorney general,
was lesallv dismissed.
Some days ago the chief game war-1
den dismissed Mr. Roberson and the
Greenville legislative delegation requested
the governor to reappoint
him. Mr. Gibbes, in a letter to the
game warden,' advised him in case of
a recommission by the governor, he
was discharged automatically upon
receipt of the commission, should the
executive issue it, which Governor
Cooper did not do.
Because of apparent inconsistencies
in the statute passed at the last sesion
of the general assembly, which
gave both the governor and the chief
game warden power of dismissal,
pretation by the attorney general's ofGovernor
Cooper asked for an interfice.

Pardoned Convict Will Stick Around
irison wiucn is Jtiome 10 mm.
Although he has heen made a free
man after serving twenty years in the
state penitentiary, says the Atlanta
Journal, W. D. Smith, better known
as "Barber" Smith, will probably
spend the balance of his days at the
penal institution, not as a prisoner
but as a general factotem and handy
man for odd jobs. That is in accordance
with his expressed desire and the
decision of the state prison commission
to allow him to remain at the
state farm has been given after a series
of interesting incidents.
"Barber" Smith was convicted of
mayhem twenty years ago in Bibb
county. He was charged with having
thrown vitriol into the eyes of his
landlady. Sentenced to life imprisonment,
he served on various road gangs
in many counties of the state and according
to the records of the prison
commission, has been a model prisoner,
On December 2, 1919, his sent
ence was commuted to "present service,"
which gave him hiS/freedom
but did not restore his citizenship as a
pardon would have done. He was
then 72 years old.
"Barber" spent a few days with
relatives at Gray station, but soon
left for Atlanta, where he became ill
and was sent to a hospital by a charitable
organization. On recovering he
went back to the state farm and declared
his intention of remaining
there the balance of his days. It wa?
"home" to him, he asserted. The prison
commission, at loss to deal with
his case has finally decided to let him
stay at the farm, doing odd jobs in
