I MURDER MYSTERY
* bov.ontM
CLEARED AT LAST
Gogj&ssiQn of Crime Removes
. ?j All Suspicion From
Local Man.
(Charleston Evening* Post.)
Clearing up a suspicion oT murder
which hung over him lor more than
five years, a letter has been receiver
by H. F. BremeV, Jr., oi (>1 Charlotte
street, Charleston, S. C., from the
sheriff of Placer 'county, California
where the crime /was committed in
April, 1911, stating that anotnei
man, J. E. Lilcy, has made full confession
of the crime, and has been
sentenced for it to life imprisonment.
No one of Miv Bremer's friends in
this city had ever suspected him for
a moment of committing the offense
of which he was accused, and tinproofs
of his innocence wore sc
strong as to impress themselves a.such
upon the jury before which he
uas tried, although popular excitement
ran high at che time. Never
theless, it is doubtless a source o?
great satisfaction to Mr. Bremer that
his name has finally been cleared oi
connection with a mystery which had
remained unexplained up to a few
days ago, and which saddened tlw
last years of his parents, both o<
whom arc now dead.
The first news of Li ley's confession
reached Mr. Bremer in a lettci
from A. B. Reading, official court re
porter, dated November 1G, and en
closing- Liley's confession, which had
been made only tire day prevoiu3.
The guilty man's confession was
made after he had been arrested in
Salt Lake City, following certain
testimony ox his wife, who had instituted
proceedings of divorce
against him. Liley's confession and
plea of self-defense saved him from
the capital penalty, but he did not
escape a sentnecc of life imprisonment.
No statement was received from
George MeAuley, sheriff of Placer
county, and who had been indefatigable
in pushing the prosecution
against Bremer until he was declared
acquitted by a jury, until after
Liley had been convicted, sentenced,
and lodged safely in the State prison,
at Folsom, California. His letter,
just received, makes full admission
of his error, and after expressing
his sorrow, his mistake, adds, however,
that he firmly beliveed Bremer
the guilty party, and thinks that un
um similar circumstances ne would
act arrain just as he did. He closes
vith best wishes.
The confession of Liley, who seems
to have suffered the worst pangs
of remorse in spite of his plea of self
defense, states that he was ignorant
that another had been accused of the
crime of which he was guilty, and
reiterates that he had known of this
he would have confessed at once.

EFFECTS OF STACKING HAY.
Clemson Collets, S. C.?Tt hat;
been found by experience ami ex
periments that enters is always some
loss in storing hay regardless of the
method used; but the loss is muc)
greater when it is stacked in the
open than when stored urder cover
This is especially tiue in South Car
olina for two principal reasons: (1
the great amount of rain and humid
atmosphere make conditions favorable
for the maximum amount ol
leaching and decay; (2) the plants
cowpeas and sorghum, ordinarily!
used for hay cannot very readily be
made into good, water-shedding
stacks. The loss is due largely ti
shattering off of the leaves and
stems, leaching by rains and dews,
blaching effeets of sunlight, and the
various organisms of decay. It is not
unusual to lose more than 20 percent
of the dry matter and in addition to
this a great deal more of the protein.
When cowpea and sorghum
hay is stacked out of doors, the stackshould
be capped with a covering of
grass hay to enable it to shed the
water to the greatest degree. How
ever, in order to reduce the loss to a
minimum it is necessary to store hay
under cover.

iV; t/1'ITJ.lOU4 I
The initial episode of the w^icL-r I
serial, "The Shielding. Shadpwf" re- 9
leased by Pathe and produced by 1
Astra, which will be seen at the I
Pastime Theater Dec. 21, deals with ]
the adventures and the love affair of 1
Jerry Carson and Leontine Walcott. 1
The story in brief is as follows: 9
Jerry Carson, American novelist, 1
while in the Bahamas finds a mes- 1
sage in a bottle washed up by the .1
sea, signed by Joseph Dexter, reeog- 1
nized as a master of synthetic chem- '1
istry. It states that Dextsr has 1
found the treasure of Sir Henry Mor- '1
gan, the buccaneer, on the South At- 1
lantic rock, known as Ravenger m
Ledge. Much against the wish of his m
sweetheart, Leontine Walcott, Jerry 1
starts out from Porto Dclgado to I
seek this treasure. I
Leontine also is wooed by Sebas- 1
tian Navarro, an Argentino, who
promises to be true to Jerry. I
On its voyage, the Portland Girl I
takes fire and Jerry is the only one 1
V CUi
John Walcott, Leontine's father,
disapproves of Jerry, and favors Sebastian's
suit. Walcott's business affairs
are in bad shape and as Sebas- I
tian is a wealthy man, he hopes to
wed his daughter to the Argentine \
and thus secure the money he needs i
Later when the report is spread I
that the Portland Girl has been lost f
with all hands, Walcott tries to per- I
suade Leontine to marry Sebastian.
Jerry picked up by a tramp ship from J
the rock on which he had landed is \
put ashore near Porto Delgado and '?
makes his way to that place. He
reaches Leontine's home . just as
Diego Navarro, Sebastian's brother,
is telling her that Jerry had borrowed
money from his brother which he
had failed to return after selling the
property pledged for the loan. He
shows a supposed receipt for a large
sum advanced by Sebastian to Jerry.
This document was forged by One
Lamp Louie. The signature does not
deceive Leontine who defends her
sweetheart. Jerry at this moment j
appears in person and is welcomed jl
by Leontine. He tries to get the receipt
from Diego and when the latter
refuses to give it up, Jerry asks
Leontine to leave the room. When
she does, Diego flings himself upon
Jerry and in defending himelf, Jerry
throws Diego to the floor and the
latter strikes his head upon an iron
ornament.
Walcott and Sebastian, aroused by
Leontine, rush to the room to find
Diego dead, while Jerry stands over
him holding in his hand the iron or- }
nament he had picked up from the j]
floor. Appearances are against j
and Jerry is arrested, charged with
Diego's murder. 1

TERRIBLE TORTURES
V
With Excess Uric Acid in Your Sys- 1
tern You Can Never Be Free I
From Rheumatism. 1
Why? Because any exposure to J
cold, drafts, dampness chills your \
blood; it strangulates; the uric acid V
chrystalizes and forms deposits of
needle-like particles which lodge in
the joints and tissues. Result? Intense
pain and Rheumatism. S
If you are troubled with Rheuma- \

you will be surprised . how entirely
different you will feel in a
