Wr.lterboro has been much excit ed since Monday over the arrest of a i:-umber of alleged blind tigers,, and the subsequent proceedings. For sometime it has been known that there have been violations of th« prohibition Ic-w In and near Walter boro. It seemed hard for the local authorities to catch the offenders, and Town* Council decided to secure the services of a trained detective to ferrett out the offenders, and secure evidence sufficient for con viction. Accordingly negotiations were entered into with the High Point Detective agency, and about ten days ago two detectives, one white and one negro, came to town and soon tu-d evidence agaltut a number of alleged violators. All was going well till Saturday night when &• negro who had been Ini Co lumbia returned to Walterboro and put the colored population wise as to the, negro detective's work. It wc« t'hen decided, after a hasty ‘council of war,” to pull those al ready caught, and accordingly Mon day morning Chief Ackermc-n and the detectives got busy and soon increased the population of Sheriff Fox’s hotel by* seven inhabitants. Those arrested were Mrs. C. J. Byron and W. G. Hyn*e, white; Ijiwrence Handy, Chris Edwc-rds, J. -I. Holmes, Will Singleton and Shaf fer Singleton, colored. The fun started about 10 o’clock, and was kept up several hours. Those ar rested, their relatives and friends got busy and by night all of them tiad given bold for their appearance at trial, which was set for Tuesday morning. Severr-l others are im plicated but could not be found Monday morning. At the appointed time Tuesday morning the alleged tigers and a large crowd of interested spectators a-ssembled at tbe Council chamber, and upon^the call of the cases it was decided to take up that against Mrs. C. J. Byron first. Col.#!. G. Padgett, who hud been retained as her counsel immediately asked for a continuance on the ground of ab sent witnesses. Mayor Ackerman overruled this motion, but c-greed to allow him to submit a list of witnesses, aid promised to do all possible to have them gotten into court by the time t,hey were need ed. A jury was then demanded, and when Chief Ackerman had the list of jurors rerdy, a recess of a half hout^ was taken in order for Cql. Padgett to prepare statements as to what his e-bsent witnesses would testify to were they present. Upot.’* reassembling of court, objection was made by Attorney M. P. Howell, representing the town,* as to the admission of the testimony. Mayor Ackerman then announced that the cases would heve to be discontinued, ard Mondays Jan. 8, was fixed as the day for trial in all the cases. This contiruance was made neces sary as Mr. Howell had to leave on tbe afternoon train. An effort was made to get Solicitor Peurifoy to take chc-rge of the prosecution, but his services could not be obtain ed. The detectives sent here to work up these cases were J. A. Hauck, in spector for the agency at Columbia, and Harris Hopson, a negro assist ant The plan followed be these detectives was to get the negro to Stok ' v s.
