VOLUME XXXV. MARSH-RUSS
TRIAL
BRINGS BIG CROWD
Trial Was the One of Chief
Interest Before the
Court
JgEORGE L. MARSH
FOUND NOT GUILTY
Short Statement of the Opposing
Sides and Number
of Witnesses Called.
The ease of chief interest last
week was The State vs George I-Marsh
charged with the kiting of
AV. W. Russ on July 8th ia t. On
July 8th as W. W. Ituss was on ! is
way home from his store about tic;
dinner hour he was shot and killed :
by the defendant, and the particulars 1
appeared in this, paper at the time, i
This case wa- inteiesting for ma-!
riy reasons, which a?e wo'I ur? lerstood
by tiie crowds who filled the
courtroom, from the time that the
fcrial commenced on Wednesday afternoon
at three o'clock, until the
case was submitted to the jury ai a
late hour on Thursday evening. The
jury remained out from a1out six ;
o'clock in the evenin.'.v until ah. ui
11 o'clock last Thursday night when
they came out and returned a verdict
of not guilty.
The jurymen were selected in
about one hour's time. In cases < I
this kind the State has five perrmtory
challenges whilo the defendant
has ten. double that number.
rhe Staio use<) onlv four of tnese
'.five challenges in selecting this jury
and the defense used nine out of
the ton they were allowed. The f
jury to try the case was as fol- i
lows: j
J. W. Clardy, S. C. Davis, Willie!
A. Jones, L. F. Bellamy, A. C. Mc- [
Cracken, C. MeSmith., Lerov Prince, j
C. M. Hisrr.mond, M. A. Hamilton,]
D. C. Harrelson, Luther Gibson,
A P. E. Balks.
The State of South Carolina then
proceeded to swear eight different
witnesses to establish its case i
against the defendant. Dr. .1. 5. :
Dusenbury, who made a post mort-;
em examination about the sanvmh i
e?n e lamination. gave about the i
same testimony as he related at :
the Coroner's in<|uest last Jul v. i
Warren Johnson, r. photographer of
Conw&y, was then placed on the i
stand to testify that he had made
two pp.olograT>hs of the Ma. i. re i
donee and the resilience of J. If.!
Jolly, and showing the alley whi'h 1
runs between the two homes and.
the Dog I?'ufT Road whi. h runs in
f'*ont ? i both homes. Johiv on v.*nr. I
followed r-n the xta^d 1)- W. C. !
Pit*, a Civil Engineer. Mr. Pitts
had ta^en Mr. Mo\ ;h hom< b hi :
automobile on the elf y of the killing,
about ono hour before it happened.
Mo to tified thi' tb? one, ashown
by the photographer was |
true in all general respects; that:
there may have horn a f'<^w little
changes in tho landscape since the
^ day* of the killing hut :>!1 er thorn
ii^impoi tant a - proved by tho photographs.
Nollie Andersoni a barber
at the City Barber Shop, then
ir- -tiTied th.'t I o \vr ' o i)\i; Ivivio on '
that day, passed Mr. Rusas and in-'
vited him toj ride; that Mr. Ru
jumped on the running board of hi ;
automobile at a point near the Burroughs
Hospital: that witness roturned
to th" \v. rber Shop within
twenty r invites vom tho time be
had left it to g< to dinner and was
informed v hen he entered that Mr.
Kuss been shot. W. R. Brilt, a
neer nn-rhhor oi the pa:ties, to ?ifiod
that he had seen tho dofo >clant
on the porch of his hom? between
twelve and one o'clock and j
on tb'* day of the homicide. He!
was followed by J. J. Sanders, who!
was called to the place by the defendant
after he had killed the deceased.
J. O. Cartrette heard thd
shot as he was at his home in
that neighborhood and immcdiatelN
went to the "plnce. On cross-examlnation
he testified to having noticed
fresh tracks around the Ford automobile,
which Mr. Pitts had driven
to the place and which had broken
clown and been pushed out of the
main road into the alley in onto?,
to get out of tli i way of.,traffic
This did not amount, to great deal,
as it dr.vel:>r>ed in t!\o
testimony -that the deceased went
arourd the automobile before he
Was shot. The next witness for the
State was Coroner L. W. Cooper,
who identified the clothes the deceased
wee, the shots extracted
from the bodv and the umbrella
found underneath him.
TV.e last witness on the part of
The State was Miss Nona Jolly, an
eye A'it.ness to the affair.
The defense then proceeded with
thoir side of the case and put up on

CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE BUILDING
%
There is agreat upheavel in the
building material industry in the
North, having been started recently
by the joint meeting of a numbsr
of unions and associations. It is a
question as to how long it will be
before the piomised reduction in
prices of building material will
reach this section of the country.
It is well known that housing con- ,
dition can be improved it is pretty
of South Carolina. Before this condition
cn b eiirMiroved it is pretty |
well understood that there will have
to come a reduction in the prices of
building materials.

Camp Grant, 111.,?The United!
States anr.y has become the maker,1
of business men as well as ths 1
trainer of fighting men.
Under Uncle Sam's huge peace- :
time plan enlisted soldiers may graduate
from the "University in i

the world?into real proie-'sions anil
positions. There are now 10 .0 J |

This has become a possibility since
the Research and Development S rvico
has been added to the regular'
military training in the American
army camp. i
Nine Corps Areas
In connection with I he governmenu's
plan 01 building men, the i
country lias been divided into nine,
corps areas which are spread all i
over the land. Each corps area will !
be the permanent home of an army ;
corps and the educational center for
the vocational training of American
youth.
Camp Grant, in the Sixth corps
area, has been the center in the de-;
yelopment and research woik, with I
Prof. G. W. Moke, formerly connect-1
ed with the University of ^Chicago j
and with the vocational training dur i
ing the war, in general charge ol ed '
ucation.
The new schools at Camp Grant
were started in November 1919, and ;
ran "for a term of six months. So :
successful was the tryout that a J
special school was carried on dur- j
ing July and August with 700 pupils;
at class lor the benefit of teachers!

"When America got into the'
world War," as Prof. Hoke ex- i
plains, it v as soon discovered that.
there was a shortage of developed
manpower. The army decided on a j
system of educational iiainimr as I
well as military training. Three
ideas were made the background
of the new work.
"Make the time spent ir the army
attractive and interesting.
"Open up lanes to ouhuvS^ life.
"Semi a man out of the army so i
chat. he'd ho abll to go baci; to ci-j

Sonle time ago The Herald had a
news item prepared concerning- the
sprinkling of the streets of Conway
and which was intended to be pub-1

and for several weeks after that,
the streets were very dusty. The
item referred to was delayed in
publication and happened to got in
the paper several weeks afterwards,
the very week that the Town

that had been ordered and the

CRIMINAL BUSINESS
CROWDS DOCKET
Arrangements Should be Mado
to Take Care of This
Situation.
The Court of General Sessions
co vc no<I on Monday of last week
and lasted throughout the week as
it was not adjourned by Judder
Prince until beiwcen one an i two
o'clock on Saturday.
Many criminal cases were tried in
the Court and just about as many
were laid over to be tried at some?
other time. The fact is evident
that the criminal business is greatly
behind, as one witness in a* case
that was tried stated that this was
the third week he had attended in
Conway awaiting to be called. It
is well known that this is costly to
the tax payers of the County because
witnesses are paid when they
do not testify just the same as if
the* ca-.?e had been disposed of.
Some thiniv will have to be done to
remedy this. Last week's issue
contained a number of cases and
the results which followed the
tiials. Following is a statement
of the rest of the cases disposed
ci", all regarded as being of a minor
nature.
The State vs. Mack Johnson
Hatcher and others was noli prossed.
The State vs. Marshall Fowler,
charged with rape went off in a
verdict of not guilty, directed by
the judge.
The case of assault and battery
against W. P Wnff- rw...

Surah Boll Watts, was trieil on
Wednesday and resulted in a verdict
of guilty.
The Slate vs. Mel v in Causey,
charged with larceny from the
field, resulted in a verdict of not
guilty as directed by the judge.

as failing to constitute this offcrse.
