Solicitor David W .Smoak announced today that the case would be the first to be called at the one week term of the court of general sessions convening at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The case :s one of the most important ever docketed in criminal court in Greenville and Pickens counties and was the object of widespread interest in May of last year when it resulted in a mistrial. Two brilliant groups of counsel will be pitted against each other when the case opens. Jake Gosnell, then deputy internal revenue collector, shot and killed former Sheriff Hendrix Rector in Briscoe's garage on Main street here July 4, 1919. The case was automatically transferred from state court to United States court the month following when attorneys for the defense filed a petition with Federal Judge H. H. Watkins requesting that the case be tried in federal court. Judge Watkins later refused the net.it.inn *n<l nr. dered the ease remanded to the court of general sessions. After being continued through three terms sof the court of general sessjons the case was tried at the May term here last y^ar resulting- in a mistrial. .* Shortly afterward, upon motion of the defense, a change of 'venue. was granted and the case was ordered tried in Pickens county. According to the testimony of witnesses at the first trial of Gosnell, the two men quarreled over political differences and Gosnell drew his pistol and fired five times. Three of the bullets took effect in Rector's body and he died in a few minutes.

When fire broke out today on_ihe old sea warrior mine sweepers made fast to the hulk and fought the fire back into the holds where it was not believed it would accomplish much additional damage. One of the last bombs dropped just at dusk last night severed the anchor chain of the Alabama and no night bombing was held last night, althoug h squadron of planes was due to go out at midnight to drop high explosive bombs. There was no bombing and the airmen were given a rest until tomorrow 1 morning at 10 o'clock when 16 or 20 planes will take the air with 1,100 and 2,000 pound bombs. It is possible that these airmen will sink their target tomorrow, although it is not intended that they shall, as there still remains another day of the operations. The last day's tests are to begin at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning, with heavy bombs and the fliers will go up with instructions to send the old vessel to the bottom. Army officials in charge of the tests have been unable to -give a very accurate report of the condition of the Alabama, although she is .badly battered. Two airmen in a Lamont bomber were forced to make a landing in the York river yesterday on account of engine trouble, but they were rescued by fishermen in small boats. Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service, is expected to arrive from Washington tomorrow morning.
