MITTLE GETS BAIL.
Alleged Slayer of J. H. Patterson at
Rowesville Released.
Columbia, Nov. 2S.?(Bail in the
sum of $6,000 was granted to E. X.
' Mittle, Greenville merchant who shot
and killed J. H. Patterson at Rowesville
Sunday night. Nov. 14, by Associate
Justice Watts of the supreme
court yesterday. Mittle has been in
the penitentiary since Monday, Nov.
15, and his attempt at bail yesterday
was the first effort to get his release.
Judge Watts signed the order granting
bail after he had heard evidence
on both ides. Not more than five
sureties nor less than two are to
be guaranty on the bond.
At the hearing before Judge Watts
an affidavit :was submitted by Mr.
Hydrick purporting to be from Mrs.
Eugenia Sain, who said that one of
her daughters. Mrs. Ernest Jackson,
had been married to Mittle. It will
be remembered that Patterson was
killed in front of the Sain home and
it is alleged that Mittle fired the first
shots just as the former was leaving
the residence, where he had been
calling upon the daughter of Mrs.
Sain.
In the affidavit Mrs. Sain says that
her daughter, "Star," had been married
to Ernest Jackson and that Jackson
died some time ago. She further
says that Patterson had been paying
attention to her daughter. Several
weeks ago she learned that Mittle
and her daughter had been married,
she says, and she also learned later
that there was some question as to
Mittle's divorce. She began a search
and was unable to find where a marriage
license had been issued for her
ria.nerht.er and Mittle. she says in the
affidavit and Mittle, she says in the
affidavit, and could not ascertain
; whether or not Mittle had been divorced
from lr>6 first wife. She then |
went to Greenville, where Mittle had j
carried her daughter and accused him
of having secured no license nor of
having a divorce from his wife, she
says, and Mittle admitted, according
to the affidavit, that he had neither
a divorce nor license to wed her
daughter. Mrs. Sain then brought her
daughter back home, this being October
7, and she saw no more of Mittle
until October 11 or 12,-when he
appeared at the Sain home.
Mittle asked to see her daughter
on this date, but he was refused the
request, Mrs. Sain says, and was ordered
away from the home. The next
time she heard of Mittle, she says,
was Sunday night, November 14,
when Patterson, who was leaving,
?5 1 V. ^ li All pq o n DY

- clzgmed that he had been shot.
Solicitor Hydrick also introduced
a certified court letter from the clerk
of Richmond county, Ga., in which it
was said that Mittle had filed divorce
papers with the court on October 20.
Solicitor Hydrick informed the court
that this was after his marriage with
Mrs. Jackson had been married by a
introduced showing that Mittle and
Mrs. Jackson had been marries *>v a
notary public.
Attorneys for the defense submitted
their case entirely on the evidence
at the coroner's inquest, and an affidavit
showing that Mittle was a man
of business and of good financial reputation.
The evidence taken at the
inquest was admitted by Judge Watts.
Judge Watts would not admit an
alleged dying declaration of Patterson,
and ended the case by granting
bail and making the papers returnable
to the next court of general sessions

at Orangeburg.

NOT ENOUGH ACID. ) I
Vacuity in Atmosphere Will Cause I)e*
struct ion. Says Scientist. j
London, Nov. 27.?Pr(^'. W. M.
Flinders, a prominent British scientist,
threw the old scare into his hearers
at the meeting of the British Scientist
Association, with the time-honored
calamity howl, "the world is
coming iu <in eiiu.
* "There is only a minute fraction of
the original quantity of carbonic acid
left in the atmosphere. The decomposition
of a few more inches of silicates
over the globe will exhaust the
carbonic acid and then life will be
unable to exist."
He then added a comforting word
by saying that he calculated that this
stage may be reached in a few hundred
thousand years hence.
His Desire.
"What is your hired man striking
for, anyhow?more wages?" asked
Farmer Bentover.
"No," replied Farmer Hornbeak.
"He knows he's getting all the money
he's going to get, so now he is demanding
a self-acting hoe."
Life's Greatest Thrill.
"What affords the most agreeable
thrill of which you are aware?"
"Why, to "buy a ticket for a concert
for charity, and then find the performance
so good that you get the
worth of your money."
