LEiT THE~ COURTh TRY (CRIM]
NA LS.
We sometimes think that th
press of to-day, while its object i
praiseworthy. at times lets its zei
over step its judgment. As soon a
a hommicide .is reported, or a crim
of any kind is charged against a mat
the press proceeds at once to try th
case, and denominates the killin
murder, and raises a great hue an
and cry for justice, and that the la'
be enforced, all on an ex p)arte state
ment of facts in many cases, an,
sometimes before ther have thin
.Everv man who is so unfortu
nate as to have killed anotheri
not guilty of murder. and should~nc
be denominated a murderer. A]
this too is done before the due pre
cess of law, and an investigation ca:
be had by the courts. This is a]
wrong. Our courts are instituted fo
the trial of those charged with crime
and the instances in which the guil
ty escape are not near as numerou
as some newsp)aper editors woul<
haive us believe. Let the ?ourts tr
those charged with crime and no
the press.
All this abuse of juries and charg
ing them with a failure to perforti
their duty is not calculated to mak
the jury system more effieient. nor t
make juries any more ready to con
tict. If it has anv' influenne at all
it wvill be in the other direction. W.
do not remember ever to have seenl
Newberry- jury fail to do its duty
and we think ther can always b
counted on to do their dutv fearless
ly and regardless of consequences.
This tirade and loud elamor fo
justice indulged in at times by som<
of the papers of this State. when
ever there is a man charged wit)
crime, looks like an effort to preju
dice the public against the man s
charged. This is unfair because th
- editer who does this does it withou
a full statement of the facts befor
him, and in many cases wit]
only a meagre statement. Nat
nrally our sympathies are aiway
with the man who is killed. but thi
should not cause us to do injustica

A MOUNTAIN SENSATION.
r
The yS3teniatic Robbery of Trains on
the Air Line Railroad by an Or
a anized 4ang of Thieveh.
..pC;e l I>ispifh It li' th rs Uwl i'oiri,e.
( .i":ENvt Li.:. A piil l17.-A sen-ation
was e.li-ed here 1(o-day by the airest f
a wiite mani and two negroes charged
with being implicated in a scheme for
whoiesale robbery of the through freight
train pas-iiig this point on the Air Line
R:ailroad. John Caldwell, the white
man of the party, is very widely known
in the city and has rath(r a fauthy repu
tation. He claims to be a mechanic, but
s for some time has been employed by T.
W. Davis in selling organs and machines.
Of the two negroes arrested with him
t Wi. Froneberger is a light mulatto and
moves in the highest circles of colored
society. He has perhaps the best repu
t:ation among the people generally of
any man of his race in the city. His
arrest in consequence was t shuck to
s those who knew him
I The third man, Joe HIarri, is a negro
of unsavory reputation. All three were
committed to jail, but later ii the day
Froneberger was released on $250 bail,
s Wilson Cook and J. A. Russell being his
bondsmen. The facts of the arrest are
withheld because of the remarkable na
s ture of the scheme of robbery unearthed
l in connection therewith. Since about
November la4t the authorities of the
a Richmond and Danville Railroa;l have
e missed various articles of freight from
trains en route southward. Goods to the
a amount of nearly $5,000 have been re
h ported missing. The robbery was traced
0 to this point, and Depot Agent C. II.
Watson began investigations. About
the same time Police Officer Fred
Schlapback discovered that John Cald
ti well had been offering privately a large
lot of plaids for sale. Schlapback fol
lowed up the clue in conjunction with a
detective sent on from Atlanta. It was
e discovered that a systematic plan was
e being operated by an organized band.
o The scheme was to have a member of
the gang conceal himself in a loadec
freight car at some station north of this,
select so much of the cargo as he deemed
e available, and as the train passed the
r fair grounds, just outside the c:ty limits,
- the goods were to be thrown out. Con
iederates would be in waiting to spirit
the goods away until they could be sold.
Last t:iglit the supposed scene of opera
tions was watched. About 10 o'clock,
after the south-bound freight had passed,
a wagon drove up to the railroad bank
e and was hastily loaded with boxes, up
s parently heavy, and driven away. The
o watchers followed, bitt in a manner un
accountable lost sight of the vehicle al
together. This morning a search of the
s vicinity was made and L.o boxes of to
S bacco w~ere found lying by the road-bed
-and another was found in Jo IHarris's,
-marked to Wetutmpka, Ala. Signs were
evident where a large lot of boxes had
ebeen thrown from the tratn and where a
d wagon and its load disappeared to is a
Lmystery. A number o'f other articles
o wvere found in other places, but none
e can be identified until the tracers are
received from Atlatnta. The arrests were
emade as detailed. The officers still want
dPorter Wellby, a negro of bad character
e an d unusual int elligence, who is believed
u. to be the ringleader in the affair. Hie
e .escaped this morning and no trace of
_him has been found. Other parties are
under stuspicion, but so far no railroad
men have been implicated. Since his
incarceration the w~hite marn, Caldwell,
.has informed the chie f of police, Kennedy,
where a lot of 7.500 yards of plaids can
be found at a store in the cotuntry, and
- his statement is taken as indicating a
clear "squeal" later on. The whole
e buisiness is regarded as a consummate
s piece of systematic robbery, and( nothing
else has been talked of on the streets
Fl'RTHIER DEVELOPMENTS IN TH E
TRAIN EOBBERY.
GREENVILLE, April 18.-"1t's the
Sbiggest piece of systematic stealing ever
Sworked on a Southern railroad," was
Iwhat Deetective HI. T. Fellers had to
ysay to-night of the Air Line freight rob
bery scheme after a hard day's work on
the case. Since the affair was sprung on
the public by the arrest of Caldwvell,
-and the two negroes, Harris and Frone
- berger on Saturday, rumors have been
s countless of new developments said to
tinvolve men prominent in business andl
social life. No confirmation has vet
Ibeen afforded these rumors, but four
-more arrests made to-day have added to
i the cxt iteiment and increased the rumors
1 of further sensations.
r It appears that the band have carried
on a regular traffic in goods captured
*fromi passing freight trainis, disposing of
-the stolen articles to merebants all
Sthrough the couinty as well as i:' tihe
city. Trace Agent Wall. of the Richi
mond and Dauville Road, who is wvork
ing up thc case, says lhe has over $~>,000
worth of goods reported short in the last
f:-w months. all of which were stolen at
- this poinit. Caldlwell. wvho is nowv in
jail, has acted as salesmani for the gang,
and in ev ery case the goods were sold
bel>w thle market prce Only staple
Sarticles wvere dealt in, twenty-tive or
-thirty bales plaids, t welve sacks of coffee,
three bales of cotton, besides numerous
lots of tobacco and cigars being among
the lots already ileintitied.
The scheme appears to have been care
fully plan ned and included niumerous
confederates. John G. Griftin, D). C.

seven arrests in all. Griffin is a profes

transferred to Central, Pirkens County, otin
to-day, and the excitemel't inl this city out:
was slightly diminished in conequence. Gre
Early this mortling Len 'Neely, a bar- thet
keeper, was arrested and committed to sub
i on the chai ge of oflcr:ng stolen ,oods mec
for sale. No other arrests were made bee
in the city during the day, but on the tior

At Centril, John Br:dwell, who has erel
been employed by Moore, one of the the
parties in this city arrested yesterday 'T'h(
as driver of the wagoii ttd by the rob- vite
ber-, was capt ured and identified as the ber
man who hauled away the goods stolen gro
from the freight train last Friday niight o'el
when the theives were spotted by the adu
detectives while at work. Fourteen obv
boxes of tobacco included in the Friday wot
nights haul were found secreted tunder wa;
a lot of straw in an old stable where be 1
they had been laced on Sunday night. all
In the store of T. A. Bellotte eighty- I.
four bolts of missing plaids were found, of
and in J. E. Bellotte's establislimen t
another lot of forty-four bolt=. The tan
Messrs. Bellotte readily gave up the tha
goods to the ollicers, saying that they ed
had bought them in good faith. Several
boxes of cigars were idenitiried at other Iib
places, and the eolicers returned to this las
city this afternoon with the prisoner and the
a cargo of reclaimed spoils.
Reports of scattered lots of contra- wit
band goods continue to come in fronm to
p:oints all around, showing that tihe gang acr
has operated on a wide scale atnd atp- Sta
praently with a complete sys:emi of ter
division of labor in the business. It isa5
nlw prbal that the amount of theab
robbery will reach anywhere tunder 410,- Gr:
000, as w traces conme in every d ay toca
swell. the aggregate above the original ~
est inmate of $0,003. mit
In the mention of merchants yt eterday i
in the city who had bought goods from
Cadwell, the agent of the th' ives, an o
error was made in the substitution of the ibil
name of C L. Foster for R. C. Foster.
C. L. Foster & Bro. have had no dealingsg
whatever with the men who sold the
stolen goods, and claim about as muchilt
knowledge or the affair as the ian in the

ma

will be held here at 8 p. mn. on Tuesday, the
the 213th inetant, for the purpose of rati
upj
fying thme consolidation whlich has been
arranrged wvith thme Glenn Springs Rail-bi
road. President Barkley and about half
a dozen of the directors of the Orange
burg and Lewiedale Railroad Companyca
came to Columbia to-:lay to meet Presi-ut
deiit 31oseley, of the Columbia, New- A11
berry and Laurenus, to endeavor to ar-bo
range for a consolidation of the two
lines. President Moseley met themi in r
the reading-room of the Hotel Jerome. A 1
They submitted in general terms a prop
osition for a consolidationm and were re- 'j
quested to place it in formal aiid specihic aga
terms for the consideration of the di: ec- ani
tors of the Columbia, Newberry and p)er
Laurens Railroad, at a meeting to be eve
held very soon. This was aull that was wai
done, but it is enioughl to alarm every nig
man who has the advancetment of Colunm- vill
bia at heart. Thme proposed consolida- con
tion means simply this: The Orange- 1oll
burg and Lewiedale Road will run up to e,i;
Prosperity and there utnite with the Co- S
lumba, Newberry and Laturens and Cot
push on to Spartanbtirg. The Columbia, Ian
Newberry andI Lureins Roaid will start fari
from Prosperity, not from Coltumbia. 3
This ei:y will be flanked. It will a p
have its best feeder, Lexington, tray- 300
ersed and alienated by a road running acri
through its centre. Orangeburg antd Icati
Properity will quietly draw away that f roi
trade, wvhich is thme mo:-t implortant to Get
Columbia. &)ur people may ams well plai
raliz.e i:i- at once. The Orangeburg Iacri
and Le*wiedale nianagers are bent on low
this arrangement. It will give them an 3
outlet to the tmountains and miake their fror
road a real trunk line. Columbia is the
rustinig away, waiting for some one to as
san Broad River for her, and give he r a No
bride to the promised land. After C
ionhs of talk she has failed to take the Ion
irst necessary steps to vote a township gra
subsription of MA000O which she must pei
~ive to get the road. It is disgraceful itng

A telegram from Major E. B. Murray,
of Anderson, of yesterday's date, drew
atte:.tion to the fact that the tract was
located near the corner of the three
counties and adijacent to the Air Line
and Blue Ridge Railroads, and asked
that it be inspected before the board
made its decision.
The boird decided to b.gin theis an
nual inspection of the p-hosplate terri
tory on the 9th of May. They will leave
Charleston by steamer on the 10th, and
the trip will occupy about five days.
Mr. Richard Graham, of the State
weather bureau, submitted a report on
the organization and extension of the
service in South Carolina, and made re
commendations for its improvement and
for the inauguration of river observations
at various points.
The board instructed the commission
er to continue the telegraphic weather
reports to stations already established
and to collect information as to the
most practicable points for the es
tablishment of river observation sta
tions, together with the coast of
gauges, and report his findings to the
board at their next meeting. This is
a very important matter to the agricul
turists of the State. The N1ews and Courier
has been making these observations
for Years at its own expense, and they
have proven very valuable. It is peen
liarly a work for the agricultural de
partnent, however, and may be greatly
extended with advantage. The re
mainder of the morning session was con
sumed in the auditing of accounts and
the consideration of unimportant routine
business.
The board met at 8 o'clock to-night
and remained in session until nearly 11
o'clock, discussing the acceptance of bids
for the two agricultural experiment sta
tions. After all their thinking and fig
uring they came to the conservative con
clusion to visit in person at an early day
the several sites ofTered, and afterwards
to make their decision. The excursior
t will be a pleasant one. It has not beer
decided whether it will he taken before
or af.er the annual phosphate excursion.
f Positively no other information than
this could be obtained from the members
of the board, which adjourned subject t<
1 the call of the chairman.

SPRING OPENING
Of my immense stock of Spring Cloth
ing for men, youths and boys. The
magnitude of my stock has never before b
been equaled. My steadily increasin_
business and the liberal patronage upon A

Spring clothing. The fancy and plain

ner as the Cheviot, elegantly made and
trim med. These garmenits are guaran
teed to tit, and made equal to any mner- e
chant tailor garment. I have taxed my th
best efforts in securing this class of C(
goods from the best ma:nufacturers in o
order to compete with custom work, and G
to sell you these goods at one-half their
price. Many who have had their clothes
made have been patronizing the Empo- ..
rium of Fashion. "Whny?" Because they
get as fine a suit, and will lit ats well,
and better trimmed. and equally as well
made. and at a considerable less lost.
The most important featture is that they
can keep trying on uintil thtey can get a
satisfactory lit anid run no risk, as they dt
usually do when having them mlade to
order.
