MR. STEVENS' STATEMENT.
Concerning his Recent Arrest by Mis
take in Florence.
Editor Florence Messenger:
My only wish is that my ar
rest in your town be made clear
to all. I had made a statement
to my friends, and when I saw
in your paper of the Cth an ac- !
count that does me an injustice.
Iwiite you, hoping that the
publication of my letter would j
straighten matters out, as you troyed
wep- wrongly informed, no
doubt, or it wouldn’t have ap
peared in that way.
I readily grant that mistakes
are being made daily in arrest
ing innocent people, and that it
fell to my lot to be one does not
annoy me ; but in this case there
are several points to be consid
ered that are not plain in your
article.
I am not six feet tall; my
eyes are blue and my skin is
not dark, so two out of thr e
points that proved me to be an
“exact counterpart of the de
scription” fail The third,
smooth shaved, I admit.
As soon as I landed on the
platform 1 handed my valise to
the porter, and without touch
ing or noticing anyone walked
rapidly to the buss, and the
nignt being cold, started at once
to walk to the Central Hotel.
I registered (my signature is
always the same) and sat down
near the stove to wait for my
valise to come up. I spoke
about a muider having been
committed somewhere to the
clerk, and while doing so noticed
the chief. He was examining
my signature. He then turned
and asked me what I said about
the murder, and I repeated it,
adding that it was business for
the policB to be careful in watch
ing the trainft He asked me to
step into a side room, which I
did, thinking he wished to ques
tion me about the murder. He
at once asked my name, which
I gave, and as he had just read
it m the register he couldn’t
have misunderstood me; also
saying I bought cotton for
Sprunt, and was bound to Harts
ville, and furthermore
chief must go “into print,’
which will lead only toexhaust-
ing patience and bring the mat
ter where the court can decide
on it.
I was willing to drop this mat
ter, but if pushed shall certain
ly test a decision of the court,
as I believe that will end it for
good. W. B. Stevens.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The Loss of a General Merchandise
Store Near the A. C. L. Depot.
About half past three o’clock
on Saturday moininga one story
frame building near the A. C.
L. depot, on.the corner of Rail
road and Law Streets, was des-
by fire. The building
was new and was the property
of Dr. J. S. Garner. It was oc
cupied by Mr. G. T. Brown as
a general merchandise store
Only a few people—those who
live in the immediate neighbor
hood—knew of the fire until
next morning, for it was very
cold and the town was
wrapped in the sleep of
a winter night. There was
a m m’er of houses close
around the burnt building and
the fact that they were not des
troyed was due to the roofs be
ing thickly covered with snow.
What might have been a serious
conflagration was thus prevent
ed. The building destroyed
cost about $500 and there was
$400 insurance upon it. Mr.
Brown had $700 insurance on
his stock. He saved
nothing and the insurance
not cover his loss.

The rendition of “The Home

exceptionally good. In fact,
there have been few performan

much in earnest, but that my
actions were suspicious, I deny,
for my actions have never at
tracted any attention before,
and I have been in Florence

After I gave my name the
chief said: “Your name is Shaw
and I want you for murder.
Where is your brother who got
off with you?” also saying I
might as well confess that I
was Shaw. As I had already
given my name and business, I
saw that to keep on talking
would lead to a knock-down and
a dragout, so decided to say no
thing more until abetter oppor
tunity presented itself. After
being held and my pockets felt
for a revolver, the chief took
hold of my arm and telling his
assistant at the door that
hal got him,” we went to

tention, and applauses were
long and frequent. A criticism
of each member of the troupe
would necessitate the invention
of numerous adjectives, as every
one knew and played his or her
part to perfection. And there
are indeed few comedy compa
nies on the road that contain
more talent, or beauty, than is
found in the Darlington troupe.
A Building Collapsed.
The frame building of the
Fortner Brewing Company, at
the C. S. & N. Railroad, col
lapsed on Thursday afternoon
last. The heavy snow lodged
on the roof caused the building
to fall in. One of the sides gave
he way, carrying the roof down

j agent of the company, was at

I should speak of the latest news
to the hotel clerk is not strange,
as nothing was known of anv
murder having been committed,
and that it should be considered
a means of “bluffing” the chief
is strange.
1 judge these details came in
to the chiefs mind after leav
ing me, as his demeanor had
changed on his return and he
listened to what I said and read
the evidence that I had tried to
show before, having my pocket-
book in my hand with my pa-
p ;rs therein.
After the return to the hotel
and evidence plain enough for
a blind man was added to what
I had already given, why was
I not let go to my room as re
quested and not told to take
satisfaction “out of his skin”
by the chief. Is such talk con
sidered respectful? As it is
stated I was treated with res-
r set, why was it necessary that
should sit up all night in the
office? Is that consideration?
Let me say here the chief went
fast to sleep in his chair and I
went outside and could have
been a mile away before he
awoke. Wouldn’t he have been
more alert if my identity hadn’t
been well proven? and why wait
to get a dispatch from Mr.
Sprunt? I had a letter, which
I showed, addressed to me, in
care of the firm at Wilming
ton.
