S1J0 A YEAR. tRGUMENTS HUE IN JONES MUODEII USE DEFENSE SPRANG BIG SURPRISE BY OFFERING NO TESTIMONY. Rtnsational and Damaging Evidence Introduced by the State—Townsend Opened Arguments for Defense. Union, Feb. 5.—The unexpected hap pened today in the trial of W. T. Jones, charged with killing his wife by administering poison, when it was announced 'that the case would be g£v- en to the Jury tonight without a wit ness being introduced for the defen- dant. When court convened this morning at the usual hour the court room was tk«i with interested listeners. Tie tion of witnesses whs begun and at eleven o'clock Solicitor announced 'that the state rest- fts case. To the surprise of every one present the attorneys for the prisoner stated that no witnesses winTd be put on stand in behalf of tie defendant. A conference was then held by the lawyers on both stiles and it was agreed to limit the aihruments to 2 1-2 hours each. There wto be three arguments for the de fense and four for the state. Ben T&Wnsend, for the defense, opened the argument and was followed by J. A. Sawyer, for the state. The testimony this morning was at times sensational. The bottle of strychnine was offered in evidence, the coroner stating that it has been In his possession since the day of the inqueut. Dr. Montgomery testified as to the effects of strychnine. When taken by a person the patient is often unabTe to talk, though in conscioos condition. This evidence was intro duced to show that this was the rea son Mrs. Jones did not answer the que&ioa put to her by the physician and Jones before her death. Arthur English, a colored witness, was recalled today. During his testi mony the Jury was excluded for the purpose of allowing the judge to say whe f her his evidence wotld be admit ted. He told of having worked in the garden and that he was summoned to thew house. Mrs. Jones came in hesitated as she came In and looked backward all the time she wan.talk ing. She came near him and put her hands on him. That she said any thing to him or the nature of it which was brought out at the Inquest and which was of a very sensational na ture, was not allowed to be brought into evidence. Witness said he left shortly after this and went out and did not know that Mrs. Jones was dead until he reached Union. All of his testimony was objected to by the defense and was so noted. William Vaughan, the next witnese. told how that he was at Santuc on the day of the inquest, that he saw and talked 'to W. T. Jones. Witness condoled with Jones about his wife’s death and said that it was so sad, to which Jones replied that ft was not so sad. Witness said that he said to Jones that they were trying to prove that he, Jones, had poisoned his wife, to which it is alleged by witness, that Jones replied that tbey were not sharp enough to catch him that time and that Jones continuing said that he bad been laying ot to do tbia for some. time. At this point the State rested and after consultation the defense announc ed tfrut they would put up no witneso- es. It was then announced that argu ments on both sides would be Jimlted to two hours and a half, that the de fense would make three argument* and the State four. Union, Feb. 6.—After being out eight hours the jury in the Jones case brought in a verdict of guilty with recommendation to mercy. Sentence was suspended pending the hearing of a motion for a new trial, which waa made by counsel for defense. The jury stood nine for murder in first de gree and three for recommendation to mercy.

He said she came up to link sad placed her band on his shoulders and said something to him. What she is alleged to have said was not allowed to go in evidence, though It ti kaewn that It was of a revolting nature. WilHbm Vaughn said he had been living hi Spartanburg and Union; that on the day of the Inquest he was at Sastue and saw Mrs. Jones. The wit ness stated that he told the defendant It was bad about his wife’s death and that Jones replied he did not know whether it was so bad or not. The first witness was Coroner Hames, who told of going to Jones’ house the day after Mrs. Jones died, of how he found there the bottle which contained the strychnine which bottle he has since kept in his pos session. At the Inquest the state ment made by W. T. Jones was taken down by L. M. Rice, but this state ment was not sworn to. The coroner told of how on arrival at Santuc he went to Jones residence, where he found with Jones, James Munro, an attorney, and W. J. Haile. Jones asked Hames if he was the coroner, and told him he might have the inquest held In one of the rooms of the house. Jones said that he bad never bad any Negro Who Killed Well-Known Citi zen Pays the Penalty. Spartanburg, Feb. 5.—Will Foster, colored, wbo was twice convicted on the charge of murdering John Young, a well known white man of the coun ty in November, 1907, was hanged in the county Jail this morning. The drop was sprang at 11: SO and his neck was broken by the fall. Foster went to his degth declaring his innocence. After the black cap had been adjusted he was asked if he desired to make any statement and he replied all he had to say was thaft he was innocent. He was perfectly calm and displayed no signs of nerv ousness. About two weeks ago Fos ter attempted to saw his way out of jail. He removed from the Inside of the sole of his shoe a piece of flat steel used for a spring, and out of this he fashioned a crude saw and had cut through one of the bars of his cell before being discovered. Lunch Bill Killed. Columbia, Feb. 5.—The Rucker bill to prohibit any city or town to make it unlawful to sell lunches on Sunday had another fight and was finally killed by a vote of 68 to 48. When third reading bills were reached Mj. Richards moved to re commit the bill. He said he knew it was unlawful but he felt he would be doing himself and those who be lieve in Sabbath observance if he did net protest against such a bill. The legislature had not the right to en force a law of that kind on towns that might want to prohibit lunch selling on Sunday. Mr. Dear remarked that Mr. Rich ards had changed his views on local option. , Mr. Richards said his views on lo cal option were perfectly sound.

He testified that as much as one third qf a grain of strychnine has killed a person. On cross examination by council for defense, Dr. Jeter said that he heard Jones tell his wife Just before she died to veil him (Dr. Jeter) what was the matter. Mrs. M. A. Brock, wife of Rev. R.

Good Joke on a Neighbor With Sever al Pretty Daughters—Thefts In the Lower County—Other Items Wilkinsville, Feb. 5.—A good joke is told on one of our over-the-river neighbors who several years ago had a family of good looking daughters who were smart and good workers. They, of coarse, grew up and the boys, as is natural, took a fancy for them and wanted to marry them but the old gentleman for some reason (perhaps best known to himself) ob jected and used every precaution to prevent any of them from marrying and especially one young fellow who waa distasteful to the old man. As time passed on this young fellow and his girl went on with their courting “unbeknowing” to the old maw The old man had the house surrounded with a stropg paling fence and there was no means of Ingress or egress except through the gate which he kept pretty well guarded both night and day. They knew they would have to run away If they got married. So one morning he awoke to find a hole in an unguarded part of the fence and his girl was gone—gone to get married against his will or wish. He was at his wit’s end. None of the family claimed any knowledge of the elopement but the old mitn thought differently. Turning to his other girls whom he suspected would soon fol low suit he said: “If you want to go, go now, while the way is open.” Several wagons have lately come down from the upper part of the coun ty and gone over on the York side and got pigs, vhich they find ready sale for in their neighborhoods. The first real winter weather we have had came last Friday 29th ult. The cold wave was preceded by an intensely dark cloud and high wind which at times reached the velocity of a hurricane. East Monday as Sam J. Strain was on his mail route between Gowdeys- ville and Surratts he met Messrs. Horn and Worthy, of Trough Shoals, with a drove of beef cattle they bought from Mr. W. R. Walker. One of the beeves had gives out and could go no further. They tied its legs to gether and gefc Sam to help them put it into & wagon in which hey had a large hog and went on their, way re joicing. One of the men said it would weigh 1,000 pounds. How three men could lift an animal of ths£ kind into a wagon is more than we can under stand unless they had a derrick. A report came over the 'phone line Tuesday morning that a horse and buggy had been stolen afc Joneeville which had been tracked In the direct ion of Yorkvllle. Unless our people, both in town and country, see to it that every idle vagabond wandering about or lying round is put to work just such work is going to go on. Those who have good horses and mules would do well to put them un der lock and key at nlghv and had "better watch them carefully in the day time. We are indebted to The Ledger for a lot of Stationery for which It has our thanks. Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp in speaking of a bridge at or near Howell’s ferry made a very sensible remark—“Give those people a bridge and a good road to Gaffney and secure the trade from the York side.” That will do It bt#t-1 ter. We know whereof we speak and have thought it for a long time. No i town or city in '«.he Piedmont section can cope with Gaffney when Its peo ple set their heads to do anything. Honest people don’t care for watch ing and rogues need it to keep them straight. Mr. W. It. Walker is on his Sunny- side farm this week. He has sold several beef cattle. These cattle seem not to drive well in large droves. But In smaller groups—say ten or twelve head—they drive very well when gently worked with. On the same night a horse and buggy was stolen from Joncsville we learn that one of the county mules was stolen from the convict camp.

V\ e are told that those people who live too fast find ihemselves out of breath when they come to die.

We regret to learn that Mr. Forest Huggins, the efficient and gentleman ly mail carrier on R. F.

She is a good talker and it is interesting to hear her tell about her trip. They had a very enjoyable time with Rev. L. M.

Wcn’t a delegation of young ladle* and young men go to work and run The Ledger’s subscription list up to such a point as to justify Mr. De- Camp in giving them such an otfting as Bro. Rice did? It takes work and money but the good part of It is it don’t cost the readers anything. They pay only for what they get in reading matter. To our plank question we have not yet received a correct rule by which to determine where it must be sawed in two In order to get equal quaati tles of lumber in both pieces. This is the rule: Square both ends and take half the sum of these squares; extract the square root, and you have the width where It must be sawed. Thus carrying the work to four places of decimals It will be seen that a plank fifteen Inches wide at one end and nine inches at the other mutt be sawed at a width of 12.3693 inches It seems that a great deal of fuss has been raised about the electoral vote of South Carolina not reaching Washington in the time some people thought it ought to, and that the world would go backward in conse quence of it.
