JUDGE DANTZLER, HOWEVER, RESERVES
HIS DECISION, DESIRING
TO LOOK FURTHER
INTO THE MATTER.
Orangeburg. July 2:5 ?A very novel
and interesting qucston was raised before
Judge Charles 0?. Dant/.ler al
chambers here this afternoon, under
liabeas corpus proceedings brought by
E. F. Stroth^r or Bateshurg and J.
William Tliurman of EdgefielJ in the
interest of their clients who are de
luuuiims cuargeu witn tne Killing 01
George W. Mabus, near Batesburg
several weeks ago.
I*, appears that Mabus was wounded
in Aiken county and died from the effects
therefore In Lexington county.
The coroner's inquest was held in Lex
inirton Countv and aa n r.^culh turn
Pal law brothers were held as principals.
and another Pallaw brother and
a yo.inR nun by the name of Taylor as
accessories. These defendants were
committed to and are now in jail at
Lexington and Solicitor Timmerman
has been preparing for the prosecution
but the attorneys for the defense insisted
that the case he tried in Aiken
county, where the oll'ense wai committed.
It appears Lint the constitution
of ltk>8 made tw provision for
such cases and in 1880 the legislature
passed an act prqvidipg tha". wlien a
original Jurisdiction, upon a proper '
showing' supported by affidavit, that
a fair and impartial trial can not be
had in the county where such action
or prosecution was commenced: The
State shall have the same right to
move for a change, of venue that a
defendant has for such offences as the
general assembly may prescribe. Unless
a change or venue be had under ]
the provisions of this article the defendant
shall be tried in the county
where th3 offense was cominlted:
Provided' however' Tnat no change of
venue shall be granted in criminal ^
eases until after a true bill has been
found by the grand jury; and provided
further, that if a change be ordered
it shall be to a couny in the sxme ju J
dioial circuit.."

The exact number will not he known

There were sixty In the crew of the

Mr. C. M. Lido, stakeholder, will
this morning dc'ivcr to Mr. A. W. Bol
lin, the backc ? f the Ford machine,
the purse of $8i?0.
On account of a dispute lietwcen the
:on test ants in tlie race tlie purse was
hold up and yesterday a committee
if arbitration was selected to adjust
the matter. Messrs. J. W. Bauer,
waiter i. ureen una nr. r;. t;. mcfirebar
were selected as arbiters.
Last night a meeting was held at McGregor's
drug shore, at which the gentleman
selected to settle the dispute
heard statements from parties to the
controversy.
According to Mr. William Watson,
there was a violation of the articles
3f agreement orally made between the
contestants, in that Mr. S. B. MeMaster
drove the Ford machine a part of
Llie wav. rolievlnir the strain nnon the
1 river agreed upo.i, Mr. John F.
Jacob?. Mr Watson declared that
there was a well understood agreetnent
between the parties who were
ondiieting the race that only one man
should drive each machine fnm Coumbiato
Augusta. He stated that
M> .lenklns kept the agreement and,
ilthough latigued by the long run,
1 that time and as we see it the follow- ,
I inn: rules must govern the wav',
When no other Is named the stakeholder
becomes the referee. rihe referee
or stakeholder must ba informed
of all the conditions of the bet and
must make the award according to the
couditious. When conditions have
b en changed and lie is informed by
one party lie must be informed by
the other party also.
From this it follows that a condition
to binding must be acquiesced in
by both parties to the wager and the
referee or stakeholder must be informed
of its terms.
The condition claimed by Mr. Wat
son and Mr. Jenkins that one driver
should complete tire race was not acceded
to by Hollinand was not communicated
to the stakeholder; the
akreementby Mr. McMaster who drove
Mr. llollia's car was not binding on
I Mr. Hullln and can not be considered
by us.
While Mr. Watson and Mr. Jenkins

yet as Mr. McMaster ouly occupiedthe
position of driver of Mr. Boilin's car
and had no authority either expressed
or implied to make Condition govern

iheir position is uotsustained.
It oeing agreed that the Ford ear
i reached the goa 1 before the Rio with
out violating any of the conditions ek
pressed to the referee, then in our
opinion the wager under its terms
must be turned over to Mr. Uollin.
