Sheriff Makes Arrest after Two Weeks ton tinuation. . Greenville, March 7.?A white man, an Itinerate sigh painter named L, J. Free, was jailed last night by Sheriff Rector to save him from violence at tlie hands of a mob that had gathered about a suburban home, incensed over the man's attempt to restore life to an Infant that had died last Monday night. There Is another whlto man for whom the sheriff is searching, It being al leged that he was the ring-leader In tho grewsome ?performanco that had gone on In this house continuously slnco the death of the child. It is one of the most horrible cases in tho annals of crime?if It can bo so desig nated?that has come to light In this county, and Is so revolting in detail that it is bard for one to realize that such an orgy could be enacted in a civilized country. From what can be gathered of tho affair, seems that Free and another "holiness" fanatic, having heard or the death of the little babe of James Hallow, went to his home and told the sorrowing mother and father that they could restore life to the child. The parents, crazed In grief und sway ed by the pleadings of the two char latans, allowed the men to begin their grewsome work. Every day and night since the child died It Is alleged these men havo resorted to Hallew's house and have held seances that sur pass anything over heard of among Orientals. Late yesterday afternoon a citizen of that section of the city called Sher iff Rector over the telephone and re lated to him what had been going on at this house, and advised him that a crowd of some 200 people had father ed about the place with the intention of taking the two charlatans off to the woods snd chastising them severely. When Sheriff Rector arrived on the scene one of the men had fled, but Free was taken in charge. He protested lpudly against arrest, unless the Lord commanded it From what Sheriff Rec tor gathered, the man was practically insane; and on the way to jail loud ly proclaimed that he was in the cus tody of the Ix>rd. A resident of the section of the city whore this performance had been going on telephoned The News last night that the "holiness" preachers had been working with the child's body since the night it died, and Had so twisted and pulled at Its limbs that they were perfectly limber and the body blue from bruises. Tho child was but five weeks old. This party stated that some of the resi dents of the neighborhood had dubbed one of the charlatans "Daniel the Prophet," and that they claimed that they were Interpreters of the "un-. known tongue," a lingo which religious fanatics have been heard to use in this vicinity for a number of years. It scorns that the matter went so far that tho more level-headed people of the community became so Indig nant over tho grewsome affair that they resolved to use violence, If nec essary, to drive the fakirs rrom the community. It was when a crowd, estimated at some 200, gathered last night about the house for this pur pose, someone Informed the sheriff of what was about to take place. Coroner Rlack went to tho sceno with Sheriff Rector. He called In a physician and had an examination of tho body made, the physician arriving at the conclusion that the child died of natural causes. While investigating the mattor last night Sheriff Rector arrested two whito men, A. C. Roberts and W. R. Scott, who had with them three and one-half gallons of contrabrand whiskey. Sheriff Rector states that theso men attended tho soanco over tho child's body on Wednesday night and had comie back last night for the purpose of attending another per formance. The men were placed In tho county Jail and chargos of trans porting contraband whiskey ontorod against them. Shafting, Pulleys, Belts, Repairs and Files, Teeth, Locks, Kto.
