Blood.
Dispatch from Union to the Spar
tanourg rieraiu says nenry nosoea
was shot and instantly killed by John
Henry May at 8 o'clock Saturday evening.
The shooting occurred on Main
street in front of the Biurris Furniture
company. Boshea was a. weaver
In tho Union cotton mills and about
21 years old. May was about the
same age.
It seems that a younger brother of
May named Clyde had some difliculty
with Boshea and was pursuing the
latter with a knife. Boshea was retreating
and just as they got in the
middle of the street both of the May
brothers attacked Boshea. While
they had him down John Henry May
shot him six- times.
, After emptying tho pistol, which
had six chambers, May .beat Boshea
on the head with the weapon and
left it lying by the dead man. The
younger brother has surrendered but
tho other is at large. John Henry
May shot another man in the leg here
yesterday at the county fair ground.
The shooting occurred late in the
evening at a time when Main street
was (crowded with tho usual Saturday
night crowd. Added to these were
the throngs coming in froai the county
fair, which had just closed its
first display.
The first, trouble between Boshea
and Clyde May did not attract very
much attention except from those
near the two men. But when the six
tthots rang out through the crowded
thoroughfare, intense excitement pre
p vailed at once.
The people were (lazed for a mo|
mcnt, and no one seemed inclined to
jgo to Hoshea's aid. Hut when it was
seen that May was crushing in the
skull of the man who lay prostrate
before him, several sprang forward
to interfere.
In an instant, everyone was crowding
towards the scene of the trouble
Wildest rumors were floated as to
^ who had been shot. The police had
difficulty in getting to the injured
man. In the confusion, John Henry
May escaped in the crowd. No trace
of him could be found, except the
empty pistol which lay smeared with
blood beside Hoshea's lifeless body.
Within a short time, Clyde May
surrendered himself to the authorities.
Ho would make no statement
JF and it could not be learned whether
bo or Hoshea was the aggressor in
the trouble.
John Henry May, the man who did
the shooting and the brutal crushing
of a dead man's skull, is still at
large. So far as could he learned, the 1
authorities have no knowledge of 1
his whereabouts. It is said that he <
* left Union immediately after the
trouble.
Since the killing of Boshea, it has 1
developed that John Henry May was
involved in a difficulty Friday at the 1
fair gronds with a man whose nameu j
could not he learned. It is said that
t May drew a gun on the man and shot 1
1dm several times, one of the bullets
taking effect in the leg.

Dollars.
A ... 1 - I AiUnn.
A uiDimiuu li i/iu AIHUIID,
Ga., to theAtlanta Constitution says a
peculiar divorce case came up in
Clarke superior court i>n which the
husband sued the wife for a divorce
and sued her in the name she bore
when she married him. G. A. Phillips,
living near Athens, sued Mrs.
Etta Speennan on the grohnds of
desertio'n.
He explained that he sued her
in her former name, and not as Mrs.
Phillips, because she had never been
really his wife, though the marriage
ceremony had been regularly said after
the license had .been regularly issued.
The divorce was granted?the
ilrst verdict.
This puts an end to a romance of
unusual interest. Early hast year Mr.
Phillips answered an alluring adverit

a widow she claimed then in

to come to him and they were married
in Athens.
The day after the marriage and
after the newly-wed wife had been
presented with a check for $U00 or
$4 00 she received a telegram from
a sister i.n the west to the effect that
she was needed at home, as their
mother was ill. She left immediately,
and mailed her husband of a few
hours a postcard or two?? that was
the last he has heard from her, it
is said.
About the same time a middleaged
man from the same section of
the county came to Georgia in answer
to an advertisement and married
a young Gwinnett county girl,
secured what property she had, and
disappeared in a few days after the
marriage ceremony. The general impression
was at the time that there
was a strong probability of connection
between the two cases.
KICKS, $5.00 EACH.
Laborer Asks $20,000 for Injuries
Inflicted by a Mule.
Dynamite, a mule, is the central
figure in a complaint filed in the Circuit
court in Spokane, Wash., on behalf
of Frank Castor, a laborer. The
Columbia Contract company, averred
to be owner of the mule, is defendent.
The mule by several kicks with
a freshly-shod foot is alleged to have
ruined the plaintiff's earning ability,
and Castor sued for $20,000.
Dynamite had a trick of kicking
to injure persons within striking distance.
He broke away from the corral
and invaded a tent house, his
weight being such as to break
through the door. Once outside, the
mule glanced sideways at Castor, and
recognized in him one of the men
who had held him bound with chains
during the process of shoeing a few
days before. Then the mule kicked
out, the complaint alleges, with the
followimg results:
Kick No. 1.?Castor's right arm
was smashed.
Kick No. 2.?The plaintiff's right
hand was lacerated and permanently
crippled. 1
Kick No. 3.?Four of Castor's ribs '
were broken. 1

Had Wronged.
Rev. Clarence V. T. Richcson, pastor
of a Baytist <church in Cambridge
Mass., was arrested early Friday, as
a result of the police investigation
of the death by poisoning of Miss
Avis Linnell, a student at the New
England Conversatory of Music. The
arrest was made at the home of
Moses 0. Edmands, father of Richeson's
finance, i n Brook line.
Miss Linnell, who was nineteen
veil vh nld 11vr?d nt Hvannla Vkir?
but while at the Conversatory of
Music, lived at the Young Woman's
Christian Association home in Boston,
and was found dead in the bath
room of the home about a we?k
ago. The dead body of Miss Linnell
was found in the bath room by some
of the ladies at the home.
At first it was belived sh had committed
euicide, fbut later developments
showed that she had unknowingly
taken cyanide of potassium,
given or sent to her by some
other person, which was used in 1he
belief that it would remedy physical
conditions which were causing anxiety,
a part mortem examination
showing that Miss Linnell was about
to become a mother, had previously
been a friend of rM. Richardson and
it was understood at Ilyannis that
an engagement existed. Later, however,
the clergyman became engaged
to Miss Edmands, whose father is a
trustee of the Newton Theological
institution, where Mr. Richeson
studied for the ministry, and that is
why he wanted to get Miss Linnell
out of the way.
A day or two before Miss Linnell's
death, cards were issued for
the wedding of Mr. Rioheson and
Miss Violet Edmands, which was set
lor Tuesday, October 31. Mr. Richeson
went to the Edmands home
last Sunday night, almost immediately
after he had been informed of
the sudden death of Miss Linnell,
who, it is said, had been for some
time his finance.
For nearly seven hours Thursday
night eight police officers had been
waiting outside of the Edmands
home In Brookline for an opportunity
to make the arrest. No attention
was paid during the night to police
attempts to gain admission to the
house. The officers had no farrant
for the pastor's arrest and for a
time occupants of the house paid no
attention to repeated rings on the
door bell, but finally some one disconnected
the wires. Later the telephone
.also was disconnected.
Realizing that t here apparently
was no prospect of seeing the minister
before daybreak, Deputy Superintendent
William 13. Watts of the
Boston police department and Chief
Inspector Joseph Dugan of the buheau
of criminal investigation placed
their men about the house in such
a manner as to cut off every avenue
of escape. After that the police wait
ed until shortly before 8 o'clock,
when Mr. Riclieson was taken into
custody.
From Sunday night week until
Thursday afternon the minister denied
himself to all callers and to
every plea for a statement as to his
relations with Miss Linneil. The
>olice of Boston Thursday night discovered
clues which they had long
sought and which led them to take
summary action. Police Chief Dugan
and Deputy Superintendent Wrl.s
it one o'clock presented themselves
)eforo the Edmands home, which
vas completely surrounded by poice.
,
After arriving at headquarters
vith Iticheson, Deputy Superintenlent
Watts said he received word (
rhursday evening from Newton Cen- 1
er that William Hahn, a druggist of 1
hat town, had sold cyanide of po- <
assium to Richeson whom he knew 1
veil on the night of October 10. Mr. I
rVatts himself at once interviewed '
he druggist, who, according to the l
>olico official told the following s
tory of the alleged sale: t
"The Rev. Mr. Richeson whom 1 j
[now well, came to my store on the
light of October 10 and told me he
lad a troublesome dog which he deired
to get rid of in the easiest way i
lossible. I suggested that he chloro1- (
orni the dog, but Mr. Richeson said \
le did not like the smell of the drug, j
then suggested cyanide of potas- r
ium and put enough in an open vial (
o kill three dogs. I warned the min- \
ster to be careful how he handled *
he potassium and to destroy the vial |
ifter he had killed the dog.
"Mr. Richeson had sent me an in- i
itation to his wedding with Miss i
Sdmands and before he left the (
tore he told me to forget to come, l
Mie minister also requested me to ^
[ecp the sale of the cyanide of po- ]
assium a secret. I told no one nn- j

WHITE MAN TO HANG
FOR KILLING TWO NEGRO WOMEN
OVER IN GEORGIA.
He Shot and Killed Them in Their
Home and Stole Their Money and
Escaped.
A dispatch from Brunswick, Ga.,
says A. J. O'Berry, who was placed
on trial at St. Marys for the murder
of Mary Randolph, a negress, and
her 13-year-old daughter in Camden
coumy near ivingsiand on tlie niglit
of August 15, was sentenced to hang
Ion November 27. The case was the
tirst called Friday afternoon and O'Berry
admitted his guilt and was
sentenced by Judge Conyers, of the
superior court.
The crime fer which O'Berry will
pay the death penalty was one of
the most brutal in the history of
Camden, and the citizens of that immediate
section wero stirred up to
such an extent that it was feared for
some time that a lynching would be
had. O'Berry was captured just
after the dead negroes were found
and rushed to the county jail at St.
Marys, where he was confined for
several days, having been brought
here for safe-keeping on September
r *
v\ line mere ne cuci not seem to
I realize his position and was in the
best of spirits until Sheriff Higginbotham,
of Ca.mden, arrived last Sunday
to take him to Camden for trial.
It was them that he seemed to lose
his courage and was anything but
willing to go back to Camden.
O'Berry admitted his guilt just before
being removed from Brunswick.
On arrival here he was visited by a
newspaper man, to whom he told the
story of the killing and the facts
leading up to the killing, lie claimed
that he had been drinking on the
day of the killing, having received
some liquor at an early hour in the
day, and being pretty full when he
first saw the negroes that he murdered.
He claimed that he was in Proctor's
store about noon when the woman
and her daughter went in and
drew an amount of money. Hater he
went over to Frank Bunk ley's house
and borrowed or bargained for a gun
and then weint to another store and
bought shells. After night ho went
to the negroes and shot both of
them, securing the money that he
had gone for.
WIFE'S CI J IhS H ON HIM.
+
Husband, Who Deserted Her, Stricken
by Paralysis.
The wish of a dying woman that
her husband might be paralyzed if
he attendod her funeral, came true.
William Huesman, of Cincinnati, O.,
is the victim.
Although nearly 7 0, and the father
of several grown children, he
had lived apart from his wife, Minnie
Huesman, his junior by only a
few years. As the years of their separation
extended, Mrs. Huesman became
each day more and more embittered
against her husband. Time
md again she declared that she hoped
that when she died, he might become
paralyzed on the way to the
cemetery, if he tried to go to the
fu neral.
Immediately after her death the
husband was notified, and forgetting
Hie past, tried to atone by seeing
that his wife received proper burial.
He provided a cofiitn for the body and
next day he was on his way to the
cemetery, when he suddenly collapsed
on the street.
"Paralysis," said the hospital physician.
Huesman is not expected to
recover.
"Paralysis," said the hospital physican.

Accused h laKlged in Juil.
Richard Abernatliy, a chair manufacturer,
was arrasted today at his
homo, near lilackBburg, and later
i lodged In the Spartaeburg county
jail charged with having inhrdered
William A. Abbott, a printer, on a
Sunday night in September, 187 9. In
Abernathy's arrest George A. Abbott,
a painter of No. l(>b Wofford street,
this city, believes that liis l>2 years'
quest for the slayer of his brother
is ended.
The warrant, which was sworn out
before Magistrate Robert J. Gantt,
charges that Richard Abernatliy
"did kill and murder \Y. A. Abbott
by shooting the said W. A. Abbott
with a gun and by puting his body
upon the track of the Atlanta
Charlotte Air Line railway; that
the same became mangled, bruised
and torn, so as to conceal the
wounds."
George Abbott said that the coroner's
jury found that his brother's
death was a case of murder. The
body was .picked up within a minute
after the train passed over it, and
was jcold and stark, showing that he
had been dead before the train came.
On the other hand, however, Magistrate
L. P. Ligon of Cherokee county
is authority for the statement that
Abbott's family sued the railway
(company for killing him and obtained
damages.
Magistrate Ligon indorsed the
warrant for A,bernathy's arrest. As
against this again is the statement
made by George Abbott that the year
following his brother's death a man
named Sherbert was accused of the
crime. The case was not pressed 011
account of lack of evidence. Abernathy
left this section after Abbott's
death, lie is said to have turned up
in Cherokee county recently, amd
has made a living by making and
selling wicker chairs.
George Abbott was reluctant to
talk about the case and refused to
tell what evidence he had against
Abernathy other than that the evidence
was the words of Abernathy's
own mouth. It is reported that in
an unguarded moment Abernathy
admitted having killed William Abbott.
One story is that he was showing
a pistol to some boys and asking
them what they thought of it,
that the conversation turned to
shooting and killing and that Aber

Some one, it is said, wrote George
Abbott a letter, telling him of A.berna.thy's
alleged admission. George
Abbott then employed Coke Duncan,
formerly chief of police at Gaffney,
to do the necessary detective work.
What Duutan learned has not been
ascertained, but it was deemed sullicient
to swear out a warrant. Duncan
himself arrested Abernathy. The
prisoner is 60 years old. He was
dazed and would not talk about the
case when arrested.
The supposed motive for the crime
with which Abernathy is charged
were attentions which William Abbott
is said to have paid to Mrs.
Abernathy, who was separated from
her husband. She is said to be still
living. George Abbott, suspcyted any
of a dozen mem of being implicated
in his brother's murder or of knowing
something about it . There were (
two who were said to he in love (
with Mrs. Abernathy and jealous of ,
William Abbott because of the lat- ,
tor's alleged friendliness with the (
woman.
William Abbott was not quite 20
years old at the time of his death.
George Abbott is a year older than ,
William. William Abbott's body was
found one Sunday night on the
Southern railroad track at a point
apposite, where Heaumont mils now
stand. Several people were killed on f
the railroad there within a short '
lime. There are many people here (
who remember William Abbott's (
leath. (

against Abernathy. In the meantime '

to strengthen their case. <

Kiwh Year?Judge DeCoure/
f
Draws Comparion With Europe.
Quoting President Taft aa saying
that "tiie administration of criminal
law in this country is a disgrace to
civilization," Judge C. A. DeCourcy,
of Lrawrence, Mass., justice of the Superior
court of Massachusetts before
the American Prison association in
Omaha, Neb., j>ointed out that the
United States was conspicuous for
the great number of unpished murTim
J ' I- ' 1 *?
?? ?-? ?v ucitnij*; ui insanity, me
limitation of the power of judges and
the character of testimony allowed to
be introduced in behalf of the defendant,
were some of the evils
which he said, ought to be rectilieu.
"The number of homicides in this
oountry for 1910 was 8,9 75, an increase
of nearly 900 over the number
in 1 909, yet but. one in eightysix
was capitally punished in 1910,
as against one in seventy-four during
the year preceding," said Judge
DeCourey.
t is said that in 1 896 for each million
of the population there were 118
homicides in the I'nited States; in
Italy less than fifteen; in Canada less
than thirteen; in Great Ilritain less
than nine; in Germany less than nvt..
"In the last year in London, with
a population of 7,000,000, there were
but nineteen cases of murder. Of the
nineteen murderers five committed
*uu:iue. ;\n me oiners, except lour,
were arrested and either convicted
and executed or committed to the
insane asylum.
"In New York City one hundred
and nineteen cases of homicide were
investigated by the Grand jury during
the last year, but only forty-five
convictions resulted. Chicago reports
two hundred and two homicides ^
were committed in that pity during
the last year. Only one of the offenders
was hanged, fifteen were sent
to the penitentiary and the others
were set free. In I.ouisville, with a
population of 224,000, 'during the
last year there were forty-seven
cases of homicide, and not a single
murderer was hanged. The report of
the attorney general of Texas states
that there were 104 8 indictments for
murder in the state during the years
1909 and 1910, and undoubtedly a
large number of homicides in addition,
for which no indictments were
found.
"In Alabama a conviction for stealing
hides was recently set aside because
the indictment failed to state
whether they were mule, cow, goat
or sheep hides. And indictments were
dismissed because father was spelled
farther (in South Carolina), and because
the letter T was omitted in
spelling malice (in Alabama)."
Judge DeCourcy then suggestod
some criminal law reforms, which included
simplified forms of indictments,
changes in the selections of
juries and in the rules governing
pleadings.
