DEVON A LD DEWITT EVANS.
It is a sad duty that we have
io Chronicle the death of Mr. D.
>. Evans, the former editor and
proprietor of The Darlington
News, which occurred at his
residence, at this place, on Fri
day morning. Cut off in his
>rime, with man's allotted time
ret far before him, what he may
lave accomplished, had his life
been spared, will forever remain
untold, but, having spent his
days mostly in our midst, his
past is ours to cherish and pre
serve and it becomes us to pay
tribute to his memory. No
marble slab nor lofty monument
is necessary to this end, for the
recollections of him are deeply
engrafted within us. Mr. Evans
strongly possessed the sterl
ing qualities, characteristic of
iis people, which, together with
lis open hearted and genial dis
position, tended to strengthen
the respect and affection of
every one, even unto the hum
blest. His"was a chivalrous soul;
and his heart knew no prompt
ings save those inspired by i
good will for his fellow man.
With his departure a noble man
has gone.
Devonald DeWitt Evans, the
third son of William H. am
Jane W. Evans, was b<yn at
Society Hill, S. C., July 15, 1848
His youthful days were passed
under the able instruction of
such men as E. H. Buist, W. C
Coker. Jos. T. Caldwell and J
Robertson Reed, the latter nam
ed gentleman being an English
man.
Although a mere boy he serv
ed during the Civil War as Or
derly Sergeant of Capt. E. E
Evans’ Company of the Junior
S. C. Reserves, which was
part of the command of Col. A
T. Goodwin. In this capacity
he was, as ever, a true son o
Carolina.
Directly after the war Mr
Evans had charge of his father’s
plantation on the Pee Dee River
and, at a later period, lived in
Alabama. In 1873 he returned to
this State and taught school in
Marlboro and Marion Counties
In the political campaign o
1876 he did good service. He
assumed charge of St. John
Academy, at this place, in 1876
which position he filled ufltil he
became editor of The Darling
ton New s in 1880. His connec
tion with journalism was mos;
creditable, the course he pur
sued doing much towards pro
mot ing the interests of the town
with whose fortunes he had link
ed his own. Mr. Evans was ad
mitted to the bar in 1880, bu ;
never practised. At the time
of his death he held the position
of bookkeeper in the Enterprise
Grocery.
Mr. Evans was a charter mem
her of the Darlington Lodge
Knights of Pythias, and always
evinced a great interest in the
Order. He was also a member
of the Uniform Rank in which
body he held the position of Sir
Knight Herald, and he had in
surance on his life in the En
dowment Rank in the sum o
$3,000. In 1887 he served as
Grand Prelate for the State
South Carolina.
Some time ago his health fail
ed him and, in spite of all that
science and tender nursingj:oul(
do, he never fully rallied. His
end was peaceful, aud he pass
ed quietly Over to jolh the '‘grea ;
unnumered.” The remains were
interred in the Baptist Church
yard at this place ou Saturday
in the presence of a large con
course of friends, the Rev. W.
A Guerry offic ? atiug.

Considerable argument- then
ensued between the Solicitor
and E. O. Woods, Esq., relative
to excluding from the court
room all the witnesses on both
sides. The Solicitor said he did
not want to lose the assistance
in the court room of the Sheriff
and Mr. D. G. DuBose, who,
under this ruling would be ex
cluded. The proposition was
inally agreed to, however, and
all the witnesses in both the
allies and Williams cases were
sent from the building. «
The Solicitor then called Wil-
iaYn Scott, the alleged partici-
>ant in the crime, who had turn
ed State’s evidence. Mr. Woods
objected to his testimony on the
ground that he had been con
victed of burglary. The Solici
tor stated that he had been par
doned by the Governor for this
crime. Mr. Woods then raised
the objection that Scott was also
charged with the murder of
James, and that he having
pleaded “not guilty” his testi
mony would not be competent
until some disposition had been
made of his case by the Solici
tor. The Court overruled the
objection and Scott was placed
on the stand. W r hile differing
in one or two material points
from that given at the previous
trials ol James and' Williams,
his testimony was, as a rule, the
same as before.
Harmon Howell, with whom
old man James was boarding
when he was killed, testifiet
that at the time of the Colum
bia Fair last year, he visitei
Bill Scott, in the Darlington jail
and Scott said that the alleged
meeting between young Joe
James and himself on the Sun
day after the killing, previously
stated by him as being the time
when Joe threatened to kill him
if he squealed, had never hap
pe .ed ; that all his confessions
were false, and that he knew
nothing about the killing of ole
James.
Sheriff Cole, Sheriff Rogers o:
Marlboro, and Stokes the deputy
who carried Williams to the de
pot at Darlington on the day he
was taken to the Bennettsville
jail; all testified to voluntary
confessions made by Williams
after he was convicted the firs
time, the substance of which
confessions was that he am
Bob Arthur were present
when the killing was done, hut
that Bill Scott fired the fata
shot.
The State did not close its case
until the dinner hour on Friday
W. E. Dargan, the first witness
i'or the defence, testified tha;
Stokes was a man of bad repu
tation, and that he would not
believe him on oath. J. J. Ward
Esq., gave in evidence that once
when he visited Scott in jail
Sheriff Cole said to the prisoner
in his presence, “Now, you
urors, on the ground that they
md been illegally drawn : (1) in
that the Board of Jury Commis
sioners had drawn and placed
on the jury the names of fivf
arsons who reside in the Coun-
i y of Florence; (2) that they had
not met in the office of the
Clerk of the Court, as is requir
stick to vourstoi-y.” Mr. Woods
also endeavored to obtain the
testimony oi Mr. Warthconcern
ing a conversation which oc
curred between him and Scott
in the jail, when Mr. Ward visi
ted him as his attorney. The
Court ruled that the communi
cation was a privileged one be
tween lawyer and client, and
that Mr. W T ard could not be com
pelled to testify. The latter
claimed his privilege and de
clined to answer. The state
ment which the defence desir
ed to elicit was as follows : That
Scott told Mr. Ward that Lewis
had borrotced from him the gun
with which the killing was done,
but that in a subsequent inter
view he said that Williams had
bought the gun ; that Mr. Ward
said to Scott, “You told me be
fore that Lewis borrowed it,” and
that Scott replied, “Yes, I know
I did, but the Sheriff says that
story won’t do.”
When put on the stand, the
defendant, Lewis Williams, de
nied, as on previous trial, any
connection with the crime, al-
leging that he was at his wife’s
house at the time it was com
mitted. He # also denied posi
tively the confessions which he
was charged with makingto
Cole, Rogers and Stokes. The
cross examination by the Solic
itor was most rigid, and w as a
trying ordeal,
All the testimony was in by
four o’clock on Saturday after
noon. The Judge decided then
to discharge the jury until Mon
day morning at ten o’clock, at
which hour the arguments of
counsel were to begin. Mr. E.

and that they had placed back
in the box, refusing to return as
urors, the names of two or more
jersons who had been drawn
and who were not exempt under
the statute. The Solicitor ask
ed for time to consider this chal-
enge, so the hearing of the
cause was set for Tuesday morn
ing at 9.30 o’clock.
am Smith, colored, a scrap
of a boy scarcely twelve years of
age, was put on trial for break
ing into the house of Mr. W. B.
Hoole am stealing & shot gun.
He plead guilty to the charge,
and in consideration of his ex
treme youth, the Court merci
fully sentenced him to the mini
mum punishment allowed by
law, three months imprisonment
in the County jail. The Judge
refused the motion for a new
trial in the case of John Free
man, white, charged with ma
licious mischief, and left a seal
ed sentence for him.
On the reassembling of the
Court on Tuesday morning the
Judge sent for the jury in the
case of .Lewis Williams, who
had been out since 2.30 o’clock
the preceding afternoon. When
the jury appeared, the foreman,
Capt. Whipple, announced that
they had not agreed, and that
there was no possible fchance of
their reaching such a result.
The Court thereupon dischargee
.them, and ordered a mistrial en
tered.
The challenge to the array of
jurors was then tried. Severa’
members of the Board of Jury
Commissioners were placed on
the stand, and the testimony
was developed that in drawing
the names from the box they
had put aside two of them, re
fusing to return the parties as
jurors on the ground that they
were drinking men, the statute
conferring upon the Board the
authority to pass by all who are
“grossly immoral.” Argument
in support of the challenge was
then made by E Keith Dargan
Esq., and against it by Solicitor
Johnson. Judge Wallace rulet
that the fact that five of the
original venire were drawn from
what is now the County of Flor
ence would not necessarily in
validate the entire array, nor
in his opinion was its validity
destroyed by the Board having
drawn it in the County Commis
sioners’ office instead of the
Clerk’soffice. His Honor though;
it imperative, however, that the
array should be quashed under
the third ground of challenge
namely, because the Board, un
der the clause barring those
who are “grossly immoral,” hat
rejected two men who drank
He therefore sustained the chal
lenge, and the proceedings of the
Court came to an abrupt termin
ation. It is impossible to draw
a new venire at this time, the
law requiring that it be made
up a certain number of days be
fore the sitting of the Court
No further business, therefere
either civil or criminal, can be
transacted at this term of the
Court except such as does no ;
require juries. For the hearing
of such causes, Judge Wallace
who left for his home yesterday
will return on November 8th.
The cases of those who were
tried before the jury was de
dared illegal will, of course, no ;
be affected, as each defendan;
had the same right as James to
challenge the array if he hat
chosen to avail himself of it,
