C CONDITIONS AT LEXINGTON JAIL (Bv Job 1 T Mtj'.Uaa la Ojluaxbls State.) *..1- a .... ?'' uv*iw||IVU| DUlf O . mere nave ap -I pe&red in the public print* of late statements from more than one oouuty which might easily lead one to ens pect that too much leniency It shown prisoners by sheriffs, and that too many privileges are allowed those accused of crime while in the custody of the officers. Il<*nry Davis, the white man who cub Policeman Knox and who was arrested here and taken back to Colombia this morning, told a story t*> the police officers of the capital city concerning Mia treatment of Inmates of, the Lexington county Jail which, coupled with numerous rumors conerning the attitude of Sheriff Corley toward the men ch&rgad with the murder of Oeorge W Mabus, is the reason for sending a staff reporter of The State to this place today to atsccrtain the facts. The jail fronts on the principal si roet ana is almost iu tUc heart of the town. It is a tw ?-sbory brlok structure erecteu in 188U. It is fitted with stiel lined rooms and gteel cages f or the prisoners. Iu accordance with a custom which has long been unserved here separate sections of the J-4.il are assigned for the wliite and colored prisoners. The correspondent of The State called at cue jail at 4 o'clock and and was promptly shown through the prisoners' confines by Deputy Sheriff Corley, the sheriff b.'ing absent. The story in circulation for some t me that special accommodations are given the Fallaw boys and Isaac | T&rlor, who are charged with the | murdcrct Mabus, is unfounded. T'icy arc In the same portion 7,V?S ' iait a: r prisoners. /?-" a'.J'irue that they -* of tl>e corridors and are 'o steel cells at night, ban. ? sheriff the '-oners - Rl I the w.iiu ^ the st, it would In notfttng less thin ruel to place men .n these cells In C lie afternoon, where they would he objected to the Hot sun for hours. As t is, Lite place ?s warm eaju^h wlure drey do stay. (1 There is some evidence of truth In lie statement thai these men who are f. jharged with Mabus' murder are al- a owed wliiskey in tlie Jail. A quart a rottle and a pint bottle, both empty, g were seen in one of the cells. The t deputy sheriff who is tlie father of f. I he sheriff, stated to The state repre- a tentative that without giving the L matter much thought, lis had pur- r eliascd two bottles of whiskey for these a fellows, but he liad since refused to purchase whiskey for them and would c not do so any more. j The men, along with two other c white prisoners, were playing cards 'T j lounging about in the corridors when ( The State man walked in. Their ac- , clous were not uncommon to tho-e of j prisoners in other jails. Tiny will seek to have their trial , take place in Aiken county, where the , s tooting of Mabus occu. red. Lee Fillaw, the older one of the boys' - slated that they did not think it right to try them for murdci in Lexington county' where the young man Mabus had in my ?elitlves and friends, and they did n it feel that they could secure a fair and impartial trial. He slated that they were poor boys, without much money, and were unable to employ as competent counsel as they would like. Tneir de'enoe will be in the niture of an alibi. It was alleeed that a!-I though the younger Fa Haw hoy hurt had a row with Mabus several months ago they had since met and made friends and where was no reason for suspecting them as his murderer. They have not applied for bail and talked as if they would not' as it would mean lite showing of their hand, putting somewhat at a disadvantage when their case is called for trial. Sheriff Oorley arrived on the late afternoon train from Savannah, lie was seen by The Stato man- who informed him of his mission to Lex 1 ingtoo. Sheriff Corley talked very freely and said lie appreciated the fair ness displayed to investigate conditions before publishing the rumors whidh were afloat 1 have been sheriff for three years" ciiil Mr fnrlev' "and before mvelor ton to this 1 was for aluui . seven years deputy sheriff and const a' hie' In all that lime 1 never had a I ctiminal to escape from me, and I have never failed ?.o arrest any man 1! that L went after if lie was intnc conn i try.

He got back to I the house In the night and ? formalls placed eaoh under arrest: I told them of what Ihad heard' of the w.t rn!nx* that had beengiven m j to not go neir rf> them, and stated that I would tritt them all right if they aoted right to- 'jga ward m^ but tfcfe if they, attempted any dirty work that they would bo su*4 to find me tn tlu? c?mo 'The next morning one of tbe men hadto goto Batesburg on business and I allowed him to go bnt he Ma:d he would gebo.i the train as it passe 1 and come to Lexington wit1! me with* out any trouble, and this he did.I took the other three and boarded the train at Mouetta. The elder Pall aw boarded the iaaln as he had agreed an 1 i brought them all to Lexington and placed them In jail. Any statement that I show these men special privileges Is not the truth. I have always given the prisoner* in my charge the same food th it i an 1 my family eat' and it is nobodys business If I give them better eating tnan the average jail furnishes. . .There will be no mire whiskey givejto these men.
