EDWIN WHITE WAS BRUTALLY MUHDERED Two Negroes Found Guilty by Marion County Jury at Recent Term HISTORY OF CASE AT FIRST MYSTERY, I Great Crowd Present at Marion Court to Hear Trial of Case. 1 A I 1 ~ , One of the most oruiai muruer* that ever took place in this soction! of the State happened in Marion county last March when Edwin \ White, a respectable white farmer, was killed, as proven by the finding of his body by some fishermen in Little Pee Dee river. Last week two negroes. Mack Tuiner and Archie Turner, was convict-1 ed of this murder by the verdict of the Marion county jury. It appears! that they might have been hanged but the jury saw lit to recommend them to the mercy of the coui*t, which reduced their punishment to j imprisonment for life. Another ne- [ gro bv the nsinv* of Tom Tuiuner | was indicted with the other two, but there was no evidence against him :*nd a verdict of not guilty was directed by the judge in his favor. One of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a trial was present at the Marion county courthouse while this case was being tried. On Thursday of that week the great mass of people caused one of the posts at the courthouse to break and the heavy timber cracked and began to break. This was discovered before any damage or loss of lives occurred. History of Case. It is recalled that Edwin White, a quiet, harmless citizen, left lii> home one afternoon in March to go to a neighbor who had gone on befor in the election of a tombstone over the grave of a loved one. The road he followed as he walked awey from home curves within sight of the house and his sister, w.itrhinir him as he turned the curve, was the last person to see him except the Turner's until his body was discovered nine weeks later by a paity of fishermen in Little Pee I>ee river. Two negroes, who admitted that j they had written certain trreatening letters to Mr. White, had been ar-1 rested under' suspicion and placed in i'ail long before the body was found., Reeling in th.^ community ran very j high and strong against them and i particularly after his body was found in the river, and it became known that the body had been wrapped with wire and plow irons fastened thereon. Sheriff Rowell and his deputy, Furman Edwards, continued to work on the case and it being all-aged that there had been a small amount i of trouble between Mack Turner an I Edwin White, they began a close investigation at tiie Turner home. One day Deputy Edwards found a j broken plow point which matched i with the iions found on the dead body fitted perfectly. The Turner's j were then placed in jail. At first they stoutly denied any connection with the killing but finally Archie Turner, it is said, admitted the killing but claimed that it was an accident. Later Mack Turner admitted, it is said, that Archie killed j White, but varied the story about the disposition of the dead body. A1 -?hip f'ljlitVW'd t.hnt ho nl/inn /liu_ posed of it, while Mack claimed that he had helped Archie. loiter all of them, it i* said, agreed that Archie killed White by accident and that his* brother Mack and his father Tom helped him dispose of the body. Threw Body in River. It was Archie and Tom who committed the body to the deep water in a cove of Little Pee Dec river, according to the tale told in court. Archie Turner was the only defendant to take the stand in court and he made a most remarkable witness. He remained firm and cool uiuler the heavy fire of questions and not once did he waver or quiwer. H<s was a most remarkable example of physical nerve. A more nimbk-witted man never faced a volley of question with clearer or more rapid answers. The attorneys for the d> %iide have filed a notice of app a? for a new trial. The people feel, it is believed, tl.at tlm is really t ie end of the Edwin White murder case mystery. !v ?

RED CROSS ASSISTS | DISABLED VETERANS ~ I I The American Red Cross is carrying on a wide program of service for the disabled World War veterans receiving , treatment in United States Public /! Health hospitals, and those being train- ' ed through agencies of the Federal Hoard for Vocational Education. In each of the Public Health Service hospitals Red Cross workers devote their time to the general welfare of the service men from the day they enter the receiving ward until they are discharged. After the soldier's discharge the Red Cross continues Its friendly service through the Homo Service Section In his own community. The Red Cross maintains a convalescent house at all of the hospitals, where patients can amuse themselves after they are well enough to be up and around. Parties and picture shows In the wards are also furnished, with j occasional excursions when convalescence comes. Great service lies been rendered by ; tlie Red Cross In mental cases In Identifying those who have app'earetl In state hospitals for the insane, and helping them secure compensation due from the Bureau of War P.isk Insurance. In the Federal Board's various district offices the Red Cross worker, acting with the Home Service Section, 1 makes necessary loans to the men, arranges suitable living conditions, helps collect evidence and supply facts to the Board, assists in "appealing cases" and 1 settles various personal difficulties for the men. The workers also follow up , and aid all men who discontinue traini ing. The Rod Cross agents And men "lost" to the Board, help clear up delayed cases and aid the college counselors In their friendly work with tlie men. Many Red Cross chapters have set up recreation facilities, and in some instances living clubs, so these victims of war may have attractive surroundings and the fun which must go with effective school work. To the American Red Cross Institute for the lilind near Baltimore, Md.f more than half of all the Americans blinded In the World War have come for training. The Institute, through the Red Cross, long ago conducted an exhaustive Industrial survey to deter* mine the vocations for which blind | men could be fitted. As a result It Is [ putting forth well trained men equlp! ped to meet the social, civic and economic requirements of their respective j communities.
