at Lexington on Wednesday
of the murder of Paul A. Williams,

train from Columbia to Augusta
George Nichols, a white man,
Klijab Clark, Garland Brown and
John Wilson, three negroes, are convi<
ted men. They were all sent carpi!
to lifo imprisonment in the p n<1
cntiary. They should have ben
fc ig for their brutal crime.
Nichols and Clark were tried md
found guilty of murder with recommendation
to the mercy of the court.
Ju ! o Gage directed that the same
vrdict be found in the case against
Brown and Wilson, who pleaded
guilty and threw themselves on Urn
mercy of the court.
The evidence which was offered
during tho trial of Nichols and Clark
If. best described by the words of
Judge Gage, who said, in imposing
sentence on the four prisoners: ' I
have never heard in any court hous*(iroof
of a more revolting murder
than that which you have been found

Phe evidence in the case of Nieht>ij1
and Clark, who were tried first,
conflicted somewhat as to which of
ilie four convicted men shot Paul
Williams, The witness agreed
that three of them, Brown, Wilson
sr.d Clark, the negroes, had pistols.
Tl.ree eye-witnesses, all circus em
plo yens, laid the guilt, on Jolin Wilson.
He placed it on Brown. One
witness said tiiat two shots were
Ir d. The pistol bullet which plercprj
Paul Williams' brain was h .3 2
c<' ?il)ro.
The two eye-witnesses both said
that, when the shot or shots were
find, Williams was crouching In a
eorner of a canvas wagon, begging
for his life. James O. Cabe, of Copper
Hill, Ga., one of the men In the
wagon, who was "red lighted" after
[Williams was shot, declared that,
while the boy was pleading, John
Wilson interrupted with "You are
too d?n hard on us niggers down
Bowth?" and fired point plank in his
face.
After Williams was shot, ho was
thrown over the side of the canvas
wagon. His body fell on the edge
of the flat car. The murderers got
out of tho wagon and pushed the
body off tho car. Drops of blood
wcro found among the crosstles 500
yards from whore the body was
found. This corroborates the statements
that the body was not thrown
iirectly from the wagon to the
grounl.
James O. Cabe, who, according to
his statement, was an eye-witness of
the shooting and wjis also among
those "red lighted, " said he was
from Fanning county, Ga. He Joined
the allow a few weeks before the
riot.
Cabe said that he went to sleep in
* canvas wagon after the train left
Columbia. He was awakened by
Clark, Nichols, Ifrowu and Wilson
who demanded his gun. Clark was
landing over him with a pistol In
each hand. Nichols wus standing at
the side of tho wagon.
Suddenly, said Cabe, two shots
were fired in quick succession. And
Clark said, 'Throw him off, Hrown."
Clark looked over the side of the
wagon and said: "He ain't off yet."
Hrown jumped out of tho wagon.
Cabe heard him say, "lie got me all ,
with hh.:,H "
J After tho bloody work had been
done, the murderers seem to have
turned their : tier.tTor. to Or.be. He
told them that he had nothing
When they found that this was the
ease, they ordered him to "unload."
Cabe said that, as ho Jumped off the
flat car to the grouud, a pistol was
tired.
Garland Brown, one of the nonoes
named in the indictment for
murder, was the next witness. He
vas exceedingly nervous on the
>tand. "We four, Nichols, Clark,
Wilson and me," said Ilrown, "got
"ogether on one of the flats. Nlch is
was the leader. Clark had two
dstols. He gave me one of them.
We went down tho flats and Into the
wagons, waking up tho men. We
made two or #hroe of them jump
off." *
"When we got to Williams' wagon."
the witness continued, "Wilson
says, 'Where are you going?' Williams
says. 'Don't kill me. I am going
to Augu:-:ta.' Clark said, 'Don't
shoot him. A11 (J vvuson says, u;s,
they are too hard on us niggers
flown South." He shot him."
On cross examination Brown saifl
that Williams was crouching In one
corner of the wagon. Wilson stepped
right up to him and lirori in his
face. Nichols did not have a pistol,
hut "fooled "em with a sack of tobacco."
John Wilson, another of the negroes
charged with the murder, went
on the stand in the afternoon. He.
too, was to'd that he would not be
forced to testify against himself.
His story was like Brown's except
he differed as to what happened
when they climbed into the canvas
wagon on the flat car No. 78. He
said that Prown and Nichols threw
the body out of the wagon. It
caught on the ed " flat car
and was pushed ol
The witness, for tbo 'ante wn?
Roy Greshani, a negro boy, also
known as "Chicken." He said that
he had been with the Wallace- Hagen
beck circus for three years. On
the night of October 2 he was sleeping
in a canvas wagon on car No. 7 8
with Cabe. Brown woke him up and
took $ 1.20 and a sack of tobacco
out of his pocket. They threw Paul
Williams out of the wagon. The
hotly fe'! on trie cat car ana. .'liter
looting it. Brown kicked it off.
"Who shot Paul Williams." asked
Solicitor Tinniierina?.
"John Wilson." replied GroRham.
After the judge's charge the jury
took the case at 1:"0 o'clock. They
i brought, in a verdict of guilty with
'
i recotn mendat ion to me rev after II '
1
j minutes conference. Court adjourned
for the dinner recess.
in the afternoon session, the case
against John Wilson and Garland
Brown was called. A jury was drawn
and sworn ?*n masse. Mr. Wingard
announced that the two defendants
would plead guilty and throw themselves
on the mercy of the court.
"The two defendants in this case. '
said Judge Cage, "ought not to sufi
t'er any more than George Nichols
[and Clijah Clark I therefore dlI
feet you to return a verdict of guilty
with recommendation to mercy."
The jury did not retire. The foreman
wrote the verdict and passes,
the verdict to Sheriff Corley.
In sentencing Brown. Clark and
Nichols and Wilson. Judge Gage told .
them that they had reason to he
thankful that the death sentence had
not been ordered by the jury. He
then sentenced them to confinement
in the State penitentiary at hard
labor during Cm rest of their natural
lives "

were seated on t he comfort a ho

Comanche when a reporter dropped
in to pay his repsects to the world'sfattest

of the circus, but has exhibited hei

Big Annie says she 'is the mother

question to ask of a fan

.Miss Flossie if she expected to he

The usual motion for a new trial

a crime that shocked the en'iro
community.
Judge Hrown's charge to the jury
vas brief, covering, as usual, the
iegrees in homicide cases, and 011
.heir duty to the country. The solicitor
wished to use Clarence Ham
is a witness, so did not put him
on trial with the other two. \V. F.
Clayton, 10. S. Oliver and Claude
Gasque were appointed by the court
r.o represent the accused.
Clarence Ham was put on the
stand first. He testified that he
had met the other two negroes and
they told liini Mr. Moyc had gone
to Timmonsville and that there was
money in the house and they must
have it. lie consented to watch in
the road while they went to get it.

affair.
There was practically no testimony
for tho defense and though th?
counsel for the accused earnestly

affecting the case, the jury,
without difficulty, found both Weiion

question by the solicitor said that
my method of trial would suit him.
He was promptly convicted.
Before the close of court shortly
if tor seven o'clock all three negroes
were sentenced to hang on Friady,
