OFFERED LIFE
In Defence of the Property of His
Employer, Now Faces
A CttAKGE OF THEFT
Bat the Younf Man's Frleods Claim That
After Being Shot by Robbers His
Mind Became Uncertain
and That Caused His
Trouble.
T. M. Hill, formerly agent- of the
8oublu-m Railway at Orcera, was
arrested some time ago charged with
?mbf7sliDK $3,000 of the company's
money. Hill's accounts at Greer wore
regularly and frequently examined by
tmraHror anHlhuu nt M\? Qniffhcrn
OTUVIIWJI0 V i W IV ifUUUUQIUi
and all of them pronounoed them oorreot
UHtll early In 1904, when Mr. W.
D. Lowrey claims to have discovered
* 3,000 shortage. Hill was relieved
of im position three days before his
arrest, which was made at the in
atanor, as stated, of an agent of the
American Surety oompany.
This concern bonds the Southerns,
agents and Insures the railway com
pany against loss throng h thler misappropriation
of funds. Vpon the
discovery of the alleged discrepancy
In Hill's books, the Southern called
upon the surety company to make
good the loss. The money was paid
and the bonding company then took
up the matter of making an example
Of Hill. Hill was an tffloer in the
Presbyterian church and also a popular
Sunday school teacher, and his arrest
produced a sensation.
Four years ago an effort was made
to rob the safe at Greer, and 11111,
who was In charge of the efflce that
night, ceme near sacrificing his *llfe
to save the company's property. Two
men entered the tffloe, and oove lug
blm with pistols, ordered him to
throw up his hards and open the afe
There were two other robbers watch
nig irim wiinoUL. tllll tnrow up DIB
hands bub refuged to disch bo the safe
combination, whereupon he wag shot
ard fell to the floor. Lying on the
floor he refused to obey a second
order, and this refusal, too, was fol
lowed by a bullet, which crashed
through the agent's body.
The cries and shots aroused the
town and the highwayman had tc
leave without their booty, mil wu
found lying In a pool of blood. Since
tbat time, it Is claimed by hh
friends, Hill's mind has suffered In
consequence of the night's experiences.
As a result, they say, the accounts
of his c flloe having become
muddled, culminating In bis arrest.
Many of Hill's friends most of whom
remain true to blm, do not believe
that he Intended to do wrong, and
and that the apparent shortage in
his ofllce Is the result of mental and
nhysioal troubles caused by the injuries
he received as above described.

Letters are reaching the War department
almost dally asking for Inft
rmatlon aoout Senor Pedro del
Valle, Marino O: pdevllla and various
other allege.) HoUf) us Dames, under
which the old swmole. with a beautiful
Spanish orphan h* the oenter, is
worktd from Barcelona, Spain.
From North Carolina, New York,
Illinois and many other States curlrus
Inquiries about the swlrd.e are reoelv
ed. One New York man, who Is supposed
to be getting ready to contribute
to tbe swindiers, sent a letter
merely asking who tbe private secretary
of Gen. Ma.rtl6z Campos was at
the time of the Cuban war. That hint
wassuflolent to let the War Department
luoo the New Yorker's secret,
as other prospective victims forwarded
literature and letters to the di partment
showing that the chief
swindler was posing as prdro del
Valle, private secretary to Gen. Martinet
Campos.
Tne bist letters to vlotims, as
shown by copies of the complete correspondence,
are written by dtl Valle
from 'Military Prisons of Barcelona."
The writer says his dead wife waa a
relative of the vlotlm to be, who Is
asked to become guardian of a beautiful
young girl of great fortune. Sub
sequent letters are written by an al
icgta priest, Mariano (Japdevila, who
tells of the death of del Valle and
seeks money to obtain the fortune of
the young daughter of del Valle, whole
to become the ward of the prospeo
tire victim. In most of the letters
the frrtune Is said to he In safety deposit
bcxes in New York, and the keys
to the boxes are In the baggage of
the lamented del Valle, which can not
he obtained without paying certain
claims. One vlottm complained to
the War Department that the alleged
priest has played him false. 1 hat is
similar to man/ com plaints reoeived
by the State Department since the

death, suffering from heart trrouhle;
could not possibly survive the oay.
They desired information relative to

The man was lifted out of his bed and
in what was thought tube a eying
