THOMAS BROW N
GETS SENTENCE
(Continued From Page One.)
that she had hollered and asked her
why she had done that, and then she
told her what Brown had done. Before
that she had thought it would
be better to keep it secret and not
have all of the publicity of going to
court. She explained, how on the
way back, Brown had stopped the car
and got some matches from a boy on
a porch, the boy bringing the matches
to him while the engine was running.
Her uncle, Walker Allen, came
over to her home and asked what it
was all about, that hollering down
there the day before and ?hen she told
about it. *
v
Her father had sworn out the Warrant.
In the struggle she had slid
,1 -j ? it. - _i?i? i?? '
viuwii unutM uie steering wneei ana
put her ami around it? while defendant
had hold of her. She stated that
if she had not screamed she believed
the defendant would have accomplished
his purpose, if he could. She had
objected to his going up the old road
and when he said he would go up in
there where he could kiss her and not
be seen, she had told him she would
not.
Berry Alford said on oath that he
was passing the road and saw the girl
and Brown on the old cut-off road. He
went on and heard somebody making
a noise like someone screaming,
sounded like a woman's voice. Heard
one scream and after that heard it
again and then Jack Altman said
someone was in trouble and he would
go and see. Then they heard a
scream and Jack called his brother and
they went to see what it was. It
pounded like someone in distress. The
following was in the direction of the
fouple on the old road. He admitted
ae had served a term for manslaughter,
but this was not held to disqualify
him as a witness. He said that it
had looked suspicious to see the car
stopped where it was. He is a dis
tant relative of the prosecutrix.
Jack Altman then told on the stand
about Alford being at his place and
heard the voice of a woman hollering
as if in distress. Once there was a
sort of scream. He told the boys he
"would go down there to see what it
was about. He got where he could
see the car and saw a man standing
on the running board. Then he saw
a girl stand up in the car and this
was about all he saw. There was loud
talking and he heard someone hollowing,
but could not say whether it was
a man or a woman. He did not de- j
scribe it as a scream. He could not
tell whether the girl was crying or
not. He saw they were fixing to leave
and he stepped back and they passed
along within 15 or 20 steps of him.
Eley Alford was called and said on
oath that he was walking along and
? r? 4" lU A "fW1
saw a car Muppcu ?ai< mc
a boy and a girl in it. While at the
house of Altman he heard a woman
holler and in a few minutes heard it
again. He went down then and saw
the girl sitting in the car and the man
standing ?n the running board and
while he stood there the man cranked
up the car and they drove off. The
road connects two other roads. The
car was about half way between the
two.
The prosecutrix's mother said the
girl was about seventeen years old.
She noticed that her daughter was
downhearted and this was not usual
with her. Walker Allen came and
told her about this hollowing being
heard and then she asked her daughter
what she was hollering about and
she had said Brown was trying to do
this and she had not intended that he
should do it. She found her elbow
was hurt. She had complained of her
side hurting her and her stocking
'was torn.
1 The Defense.
The defendant took the stand. He
told that on that day he had been sent
to Aynor to distribute circulars. He
saw the prosecutrix in the barber shop
first, where she was getting a shoeshine.
Next he saw her at the school
ground driving around in his car. She
was in the car when dinner was called.
After ninner she was near the
car and she wanted him to take her
in the car to her uncle's. They drove
to Mr. Mishoe's and left the coat
there. When she came hack he spoke
of going on and she said she would
go with him and he was willing. There
was no one there as the little sister
had left the car before that. He
drove along the road going by Antioch
church. She made remarks about
turning around and he drove hack
the way they had come and passed
along the cut-off and stopped the car
He was talking to her and had
thought that he might take liberties
owing to the way she had treated hiir
in the car.
The men passed. She was writinc
her name on some papers. He hug
ged and kissed her. She made no ob
jection to this. He kissed and huggec
her a number of times with bo ob
jections and he thought he could g<
further than that and he denied mak
ing any proposal in words. She wa
shy, etx:., and she was loving and h
tried to persuade her. This wa
about the substance of what he saic
He got out to crank the car an
had some trouble. He had been dc
nied anything further than the hug
and kisses and nothing else to r<
main for. Cranking the car, or trj
jng to do so, she lay down on tf
scat with her hand near the steerin
wheel .and her- hat fell off. He o
fered to get the hat and she said sV
would get it herself and she got 01
over the steering wheel and got tV
hat. As she got out she almost fc
and started to holler.
He told of driving back to Ayn<
and of getting the matches and seeii
a girl who had a sack with some pe
nuts. After getting hack to Ayn
she sat in the car with him fora whi
ar.d ifter that they stayed aroui
there and they talked together. S

was talking about a way of going
home and he asked her if she would
,go with Rogers. He told of going to
Mr. Mishoe's after her coat. When he
left her he told her goodbye and shook
hands. He was arrested on Thursday
in Mullins after having distributed
circulars. He denied that he had
ever intend to do this thing unless it
was consented to.
He was subjected to a severe cross
examination by the solicitor. He denied
that he asked her to ride but she
had asked to ride on her way to Mr.
Mishoe's. He denied that he kissed
her against her will. He admitted
that he had thought he could take
liberties. He had found that she objected.
He could not tell how the
stocking got torn. He did not know
how she fell out of the car. He is

when the men approached she had
asked him to remove his arm as they
might see it and he had moved his
arm behind the back of the seat to
hide it.
Miss Lizzie Johnson was sworn.
She said that after the ride she asked
her how she liked that man and
she said "fine."
Miss Lee Hucks said she was at
the picnic. She was with them at the
barber shop. The defendant and she
rode away together. She saw them go
off to ride. She saw them when they
came back and gave the prosecutrix
some peanuts. She heard prosecutrix
say she was married, and this
was after the ride. She did not notice
if she was friendly with Brown. Witness
said she is fourteen.
Miss Bernice Hucks testified she
was at the picnic. She saw the prosecutrix
in the late afternoon. She said
she was married and seemed to be in
a good humor. She was walking
around then like she always did.
Wright Shelley testified he was at
the picnic. He met Brown and a gill
in the afternoon and slowed down his

but he did not have any.
Hope Shelley testified he was at the
picnic and saw the two on a bench after
the ride laughing and talking together.
He had went with her to the
car and she was rather quiet but talked
some.
The affidavit of Thad Rogers, an
absent witness was read to the effect
that he saw the parties when driving
up to the picnic grounds and saw no
evidence of any injury, but seemed
very happy and that he took the girl
home.
By the time the case was finished
the courtroom was packed to overflowing.
Both parties are known to
many people of this county. The
prosecutrix especially is largely connected
with many families by both
blood and marriage. Crowds of friends
and relatives and ,n!so strangers had
time to fill the courtroom to hear the
wind-up of the case.
The arguments were made, two on
the part of the defendant and only
one on the part of the State.

HOSPITAL IS
TOTAL LOSS
Mull ins.?Fire of unknown origin
completely destroyed the Mullins hosT)ital
and much valuable equipment
Thursday night. The eleven patients
which were in the institution at the
time were all removed without injuries
and placed in nearby homes.
Dr. L. M. McMillan, the owner of
the hospital, was away at the time,
so the actual loss cannot be accurately
estimated, but it will probably be
somewhere near $50,000. Some very
valuable X-ray apparatus belonging
to Dr. Frank Martin was totally destroyed.
Flames were discovered on the second
floor about 9:45. Firemen succeeded
in preventing the spread of the
fire, but were not able to save the
building.
The hospital was the pride of the
1 town and is considered a great loss.

to them; then they went to the well
and threw something in the well, and
after that shot twice into the top of
the house. After that Hays came
and calftd Oscar out. Oscar told Hays
that tie. Hays, knew all about the affair.
Hays offered to go with them to
L. B. Bailey's if he wanted to. The
family left the house and went to L.
B. Bailey's. She said that they had
been employed to go there to help
Hays on tobacco days and Bailey for
the rest of the time.
Oscar Hewett said that the chickens
squawled. He looked through a broken
pane and saw three defendants go
to the well. Later they shot the
house. Hays was there with his gun.
He saw Hays fire his gun twice. Then
! they started chunking the windows
and broke the windows out. After a
little Hays came there and asked witness
"what were we doing here in that
fuss." He told Hays he knew already
as he had helped do it.
On cross examination he was asked
if he had not said that he would
swear just what Bailey told them to
swear. He denied this and said that
Bailey had advised his mother to have
nothing to do with the law case as it
might lead to more trouble and would
be ix lose of money and time.
The Defense.
Percy Huggins testified. He is a
son of J. L. Hug-gins. He was on his
way home. Ossie was at house and
he went with Ossie down to the tobacco
barn. Hayes was at the barn. According
to him, he heard two gun
shots away from Hewett's home. He
heard the shot fall on the tobacco
barn. Later he heard two reports of
a gun but could not tell the direction.
He told that he had heard Oscar Hewetts
say he would testify just as Bailey
told him to do, and that Bailey
would teach them what to say.
Ollin Fowler was sworn and testified
to about the same things as Huggins
had told.
Mrs. Ollin Fowler swore to the same
effect.

house was shot. He heard the parties
say they did not see anybody bqt
heard some voices. He stated he
heard Mrs. Hewett say they would
tell that it was these boys now indicted,
although they were not certain
it had been them.
Mrs. Emory Hayes was sworn and
said that on the night it was claimed
the house was shot her husband was
with her and the children at the tobacco
barn and while they were all
there they heard this shooting and the
shot struck the tobacco barn. later on
they heard another fuss over^ at the
Hewett home. They had gone to the
watermelon patch and got three
watermelons and ate them. She called
her husband, who was in the back
house. They took the children to the
house and her husband then said he
would go and see what the racket was
about.

he heard four Run shots that night,
but he had nothing to do with it; did <
not know who it was or where it was
at the time. 1
Emory Hayes, * another defendant,
swore he had nothing to do with the
shooting of the house; that he did not
procure anybody else to do it. He was ;
at the barn peeling peaches with his ;
wife at the time the shooting was <
done. He did not come out very well |
on cross examination. i
Allard Gibson was sworn and said
he and another boy, Lundy Daniels,
had chunked the house and broke out ;
the windows with brickbats. He is a ;
son of Jim Gibson. He had done this
because the Hewetts had thrown bats ;
at them. After doing this, and the
other boy had fired off a pistol, he
went back to the pack house. He
never told anything about it until
later his father had been reported to
the Grand Jury. The Hewetts had
moved from the house the next evening.
The Jury found them all guilty and
they were sentenced each to a fine of
$100.00 or thirty days.. Gibson's sen

Clemson College.?Any one in
choosing a variety of cotton to plant
should select a variety which consistently
makes a high yield and which
has good quality as well, advises Prof.
C. P. Blackwell, Agronomist, who explains
that after several years of experimenting,
the Agronomy Division
of Clemson College recommends the
following varieties:
Short staple, for wilt-free land,
Cleveland Big Boll, for wilt infested
land, Dixie Triumph.
Long staple, Deltatype and Webber
