Judge Pearifey. Defendant 4eceIves
Verdict in Stoic Manner. Stands
Dry-Eyed as Others Weep In Court.
York, Nov, 2.-William C. Faries;
60 years old, will die in the electric
chair on (becember 29 for the slaying
of Newton Taylor, aged 14, unless the
higher courts or the governor inter
fore. Date for his execution was fixed
3ato today by Judg Peurifoy in court
of general sessionsufter a jury earlier
had found bbin guilty of murder.
A motion or a new trial was over
ruled by Judge Peurifoy just before he
passed sentence.
Paries went on trial yesterday morn
ing in the first of four charges of mur
der against him growing out of the fa
tal wounding on September 10 of four
members of the family of. James M.
Taylor at Clover iwiere all of the prin
eipale in the case live. A jury was ob
tained shortly after noon and by the
th4e court adjourned the prosecution
had completed its case and the defend
aat and his wife -had testified.
One defenso nwitness and one wit
ness In rebuttal were heard today. At
.torneys argued approximately four
hours and at 1:38 o'clock this after
'noon the case was given to the jury,
At 8:16 o'clock the jury announced that
it had reached a verdict and three min
uted later the verdict was announced
faries at no time , during the tria:
showed any trace of emotion. 'He re
ceived the verdict condemning' him t(
death in the electric chair stoically, re.
fusing to comment at any time.
Ianmediately after the verdict wai
real, fonner Governor Cole L. Blease
and Thomas McDow, counsel fo
Varies, gave notice that they woull
l a motion for a new trial. This mc
tion was made an hour later and over
ruled by Judge Fourifoy,
dmmediately after overruling th
I otion the judge called Faries befor
ta e bench and pronounced sentenci
, inding erect and holding his blac
al Ich hat in his hand, Faries for ele)
en minutes stood before the -judi
wrh. e sentence was- pronounced. Askc
if b had anything to say as to wl
sent %ce should not be passed, Far
repli A that he had nothling to add I
what tie attorneys had said. Judi
WPeurl. r then began his talk. After r
viewin the case and the verdict, t1
judge I conclusion said to Faries:

will comfort you. Your body will 'be
sacrified, but your soul may be freed
through the gracious mercy of Jesus
Christ."
Tears stood in the eyes of many of
the scores of spectators owhen Judge
Peurifoy. concluded. Faries, however,
stood dye-eyed. Several of his chil
dren, who have been by his side
throughout the trial, were ranged
arotnd him when he was entenced and
accompanied him to 'the door of the
county jail where he was returned
pending removal to the penitentiary in
Columbia!
Sentencing of F'aties concludes one
of the most notable cases of recent
years in isouth Carolina. .It all grew
out of a children's *quarrel in the lit
tle cotton mill village of Clover. Th
children of James M. Taylor and those
of Faries quarreled. There. were sev
eral quArrels and finally the adult
members of the families became in
volved although never reaching the
point of violence. Finally on Septem
ber 6, little John Faries, son of Wil
liam, told his father that a member ol
the Taylor family had struck him :witli
a stone. This, according to Faries
own story on the witness stand, sC
provoked the elderly man that h14
-could not s,tand the quarrels any long
or and getting its gun he began shoot
Ing members of the Taylor family. 11
said ie really did not know what It
was doing. iSix members of the Tay
lor family wero found wounded )vl
the smoke cleared away. Four, New.tor
Liela, Fred Taylor and Claude -John
son, their grown cousin, died.

rate, Senator Dial declaTed tonight i
that he would regard it as a distinct
concurrence in lii 9 contention that the
law should be so amended that pur
chasers would bo guaranteed an even
break in all financial transactions
with exchanges.
He stated also his belief that if the
investigating authority of the govern
ment after an extensive study 'of nine
months, had found existing intw unfair
in its operation to cotton producers,
congress would no longer hesitate -pro
perly to amend It in the interest of
the farmer.
The -ight for amendment of the cot
ton futures act was initiated some
years ago by B. B, Comer, then a sen
ator from Alabama. The Comer amend
ment went through the senato with
scarcely a dissenting vote but failed in
the house. When Senator Comer re
tired Senator Dial took up the fighat.
11His amendment, after pending before
the senate committee on agriculture
for many months, was flanily submit
tea with an unfavorable report, iwbich
the committee suffered Senator RaIna
dell of 'Louisiana, who had spoken in
defense of the exchanges, to write.
Senator Dial was further harassed by
the opposition of the exchanges.
- Senator Dial expressed the opinion
tonight that if the law could be so
3 amended as to give cotton growers an
1 equal opportunity with the cotton ex
-changes in reaping profit from their
.production the South would 'be bene
, Ilted by many millions of dollars per
- annum.
