McSweenny yesterday re coived from Magistrate t. M. J)a.oy of Scotia, the acting coroner in the recent -ampton county lynching af fair, a full report as to the unfortu nato occurrence. The Governor has referred the report to Solicitor J. E. Davis in whose circuit the afl'air oc. currod and states that he feels satis lied that the solicitor will do his fall duty in the matter. The report to the Governor roads as follows: Dear Sir: It. becomes my painful duty to report to you a deplorable deed of mob violence that was per potrated on the night of October the 18th, 1901, near Furman, in Hamp. ton county, by parties unknown. The facts are as follows (what the State y is prepared to prove): On the night of October the 17th, 1901, at Scotia, f S. C., about 10 o'clock the dwelliug house of Dr. M. L. Poeples was rokon into and entered by one Wil a-r Sanders (this is the name iven). Mrs. Peoples, the wife of Dr. Pebles, was arousod and said to kiher husband some one was in the room. She struck a match to light ',he lamp and she wias fired upon by id Sanders. Ho (Sanders) had pro. red thtr doltor's pistol, which he lied, and had also procured gold atches and chains to the value of 118. W1hen he fired the doctor prang out of bed and spoke to San ers. Sanders then ran to the front the house and broke through a arge glass door on the front of said Ouse arid made his escape up the rack toward Estill. He was pur ed by Dr. Peepls and others and ght on the morning of October 18 ut daylight. His face showed ass cuts on it and the watches, stol and chains wore found on his rson aud taken away by his cap 0, and said Sanders was brought k to Scotia, the p1' co of the e. r. Peobles then sent for me. I ved at Scotia about 3 30 p. m. ere was aa goodly crowd there. I ad a warrant for Sanders and ho turned over to a special consta Mr. J. A. Ponder, a very dis and repultable cit izn,) anid ght up on the charge of burg and grnd( larceny for p)relimi y ixainiat ion. Sanders wiived nrat ion in writing and volun aihewa-i guilty ofth je. I then coimmiit.ted him11 to jatil amuplon to be then-o delivered ue course of law ini default of '3As liy regular conist able was 'n the uipp'r part, of the coun a work, I aIppo)intedl Mr. J1. A. or, speciail coiis[table, to take e'ra to H-amnptoni. M. r. Penider 8ootia with prisoner lat.e that g, Octob"r 18, just before suun What testimony shown lat uest was that night overtook about seven mriles be&low Scotia V he way to Hampton. Mr. J. A. er stopped for the night lit his er's) house, thimking it would eor to st ay there till mfor[ilng. then got three of his neigh help him guard Sanders till ha', On October 19 I was dyight.- by J: A. Ponder to Slot for agan er the dead body hol an inquest' 0 I hold the of the prisoner, Sanide - tizens as ibquost widh 12 repuitable o testi * jrors, and after hearing the iony of Mr. J. A. pender, the e . stable, and his deputies or guards and( thoroughly investieninlg the *crilne we failed to ascertalin the idenl tity of any of the parties to the dia bolical deed. The jury of inquw" >rought in a verdict that William anders oarne~ to his death by being shot and hanged by parties unknown to the jnry. The testimony of all the witnesses for the State is agreed that abont 1C - 0'clock on the night of Oct. 18 Mr Pexider had the prisoner safe at hi' (Ponder's) house when a very larg crowd of arled maon came t hro and deandod the prisoner, which was refused by Mr. Ponder. The door of Ir. Ponder's house was thou broken open by the crowd of a hun dred or more metn Imasked, Mr. Pon dor and his guard overpowered and the prisoner taken and carried about ono mile away tid shot amd hanged by the neck and1 that. non11 of the witnossoes recogn)izod thm identity of any of the parties. I failed inl the investigat.ion to find any who knew the prisoner, Sanders. Ito wits it burly, large black negro about 30 or 35 years old, weight 180 or 200 pounds, about. 5 foot .10 inches in height. I have bound over Mr. J. A. Ponder and those who were help ing to guard the prisonl r to the court of general sessions, February torm, it Itampion, to bi sibjet to the action of the grand jury, and forwarded ill papers to the clerk of the court and coroner. L would have notified you sooner but, wanted to write you the facts fully and could not (1o so until after full investiga gatlon. Hoping this may roach you safo ly and be I aatisfactory explana tion. Yours very truly, I. M. Daloy, M'igistrate. P. S.--Tho peoplo around Scotia very muuch surprised at. th's violene as well as lnyself, as overyone ex pressed satisfactiln in tlhe penalty that the imw fixed for the prisoner's crione-life sentence in the pe0niton. tiary.
