* PRINCE RELEASES
f ANDERSON MAR
Anderson, Oct. 24.?Rood Sha*
whose parole from the state peniten
tlary was revoked by Qorernor Har
vey, is today a free mam He was ra
leased from custody when Judg
Prince rendered his decision at th
habeas corpus. proceedings heard thi
morning, deciding in favor of the pe
titioner, Shaw. The decision o
Judge Prince is one of far reaching
importance and will likely affect aim
Uar cases in both this state and oth
er states.
Judge Prince granted the orde
upon two grounds:
First, he declared that Governoi
Harvey has no authority to revoke i
\ ' parole, especially so withot a hear
' ing of the defendant.
Second, tnfere was a distinction be
tween a conditional pardon and a pa
I role, numerous authorities in th<
state.holding that the itme a convici
is out on a conditional pardon is sus
pended and does not Tun. But, ii
case of a parole, the prisoner is re
leased from service and his sentence
continues to run the same as if hi
were serving the time in the peniten
tlary.
Under the second ground on whict
the decision was based, Shaw's sen
tence expired long ago.
Judge Prince's decision releasei
Shaw and cancels the year and ftvi
months' time which Governor Harvej
held he had yet to serve.
Solicitor L. W. Harris representee
Governor Harvey at the habeas cor
pus proceedings and demurred. Hii
demurrer declared that:
First, that the parole and revoca
tion of parole in this case were botl
in the discretionary powers of tlx
chief executive of the state of Soutl
Carolina and that this court is without
power to review the proceedings
Second, that the petition shows or

indictment for the killing of both, is a
being tried first for the murder of t
Miss Mildred Geraldine Reckitt, the a
stenographer. K

one witness^ testified she had told him
immediately after the shooting, which J
' occurred in the office of Hosier's ad- cj
vertislng agency. a
To another she is said to have ci
made the statement that she would
not have committed the crime if she d;
had not been intoxicated. Testimony v<
was introduced yesterday to show al
mat / .rtliur Rosier, brother of the| w
. lain mail, and the defendant had been s<
iti a restaurant shortly before the w
shooting and had drunk wine. d<
Michael J. Toner, a policeman, told p:
of a scene in the hospital where the u
girl, Mildred, smiled forgivingly on b(
Mrs. Rosier from her death bed. F
Toner related how the dying girl,
supported by two officers, was be- g
sought to say something to incrimi- H
nute her slayer. 01
"No, I don't think she meant to T
shoot me," she said. "I know she did s<
not mean to shoot me."
Thereupon Mrs. Rosier bent and cl
kissed ihe hand of the girl, said the si
witness. it
Mrs. Rosier, shaking with sobs, f<
buried her face in her hands as this w
testimony was given. f<
Alfred Lay ton of Pittsburgh, formerly
a newspaper reporter, testified ft
that Mrs. Rosier, mistaking him for a ui
physician, fell on her knees, clasped qi
her hands and begged him to save her ir
husband's life. He said Mrs. Rosier tl
had told of finding a diary containing
romantic writings in Miss Reckitt's n
desk and in her husband's handwrit- 14
ing. c<
Paul, Gottlieb, another reporter, tea- n
titled that Mrs. Rosier was hysterical, ir
"She told me," he added, "that she
would not have done it if she had not w
been drank." A
"Daddy, I did not mean to do it." a
Rosier, he said, then lifted up his a
hand and pushed her away. si

the Republican party in South CaroIina,
who was recently given a recess ^
appointment as United States mar- *

NATION'S ACCEPT
> WASHINGTON BID
i Washington, Oct. 24 (By th? Aaso^
ciated Press).?Informal communii
cationh from the five Central AraeriI
can governments invited by the Unitf
ed States to meet in conference in De.
ceraber for discussion of arms llmita.
tion projects and other matters, ini
dicate early acceptance of the inviI
tations and aDDointment of th*
. delegations. There is no doubt that
Secretary Hughes' action, taken as it
; was virtually at the request of the
i five governments, has been received
in Central America with gratification.
Formanl acceptance in some cases
> may be delayed through the necessity
> of obtaining approval of either cabinet
or congress.
The American invitation occupied
attention in Pan-American diplomatic
circles today to the exclusion of other
topics. Both among the diplomats
and in government circles the feeling
prevails that a step has been taken
1 which may bring results of a far
reaching nature with respect to international
relations in the entire
Western hemisphere. Whether the
Central American canference w'll
prove a stepping stone to subsequent
tieatment of all Pan-American problems
in a similar way, it was said,
must rest upon the work of the Central
American delegation when they
gather in Washington in December.
From the American viewpoint the
forthcoming conference is expected
to have immediate and decisive renc
(1 the solution of many v<
ing problems now troubling the
lations of the Central American
group, Salvador, Honduras andNicaragua,
Guatemala and Costa Rica.
There is no question that the Washington
administration seized eagerly
upon the formal suggestion that
reached it from Central American
capitals indicating the desire of
those governments that the United
States sponser a Central American
conference, where a formula for
peace and adjustment of all Central
American problems might be arrivei
at. tacking some such step, it is an
open secret that Washington official J
have been gravely concerned lest nono
us disturbances aurise in Central
world conM?^S>m^0t as to School

Friday's Special " |
Yep! Union is going to have another
battle royal, this time with the!
famed team representing the Thorn- j
well Orphanage. If you will reenll. it!
is this same team that essayed to lift:
Union to the clouds and then allowed (
them to drift, fall, skeeward or what
not. It is a known fact that it acted !
as a stimulant for the remaining:
games on the scredule and caused us \
to realized what football is.
Now this same team is going to;
be her.? Friday, 27th, and they are|
expecting to win again and just as;
handily. Well, if you could see!
Coach Jeter's boys practising this)
week, you would think?well, the
Rcore will be a walk away again, but |
i this time with Union on the top side.;
i Yes, those boys are playing a game
of foocball and have the spirit that
admits that no one can beat them.
There is no question that Union's;
, team is now superior to last year, j
With an added year's experience audi
with a larger coaching staff and with;
the boys realizing what football
means, the team is a muchly improved
organization and bids to give the
, hardest a tussle for the victory.
Union's improvement is readily,
realized when you look back over tlu*[
games played. The first game was!
with Cowpens and was lost by the'
score of 19 to 13. Played Newberry i
I the following Friday and defeated
them 7 to 0. Played Spartanburg next.
and latched them to the maRt to the'
tune ox 19 to 7. (This game made,
the aged and the infirm forget their!
decrepancie8 und shout with the,
young). Spartanburg considered the(
! game with Union as a practice game;
I and went home muchly disappointed.,
r Last Friday Union played the Has-1
toe school of Spartanburg and de-,
feated that school 13 to 0. And when j
I the orphanae team plays here Fri-j
, day, then there is no reason to believe |
I anything but that a continued im-l
provement will be seen on the part
. of Union's playing. The coaches, the
? players, and many of the followers
of the game believe we are going to (
get revenge for the humiliating defeat i
of last year, and send the orphanage
boys l.ome a sadder, yet wiser aggre.
P

Come out and help the team, come,

come out and help yourself to tliv
greatest entertainment afforded in the

had been assaulted, he had asked Ber.
gen, whom he said he had befriended,
to come to his home in Edgewater
and explain certain "kissing parties"
and that Bergen was accidentally shot
in a struggle for the possession of
a gun which he had given him.
"What was your state ofmind, just
prior to, and after *he shooting,"
Prosecutor Hart asked Cline on cross,
examination.
Counsel for the defense objected to V*
the question and was sustained by % >
the court. \
Taking another tack, the prosecu
tor asked Cline why he had armed
himself. In self-defense, Cline answered.
He denied that he had represented
himself as "Mr. Ryan" when
he telephoned the actor to come to
his home. He said that when he confronted
his wife with Bergen she
broke down and confessed that he had
drugged her in a Saranac I-ake hotel
anl then assaulted her.
Cline said that Bergen then admitted
the charge, and said: "I'm a
dirty dog, shoot me," and he ordered
Gergen out of his house.
"I had no idea of shooting hiin.''
Cline testified.
He said it was a remark of the actor's
as he was . V>ut to leave the
house which infuriated him.
