m PRISONERS DISCHARGED. jury Finds Those Charged With the Broxton Bridge Horror Not Guilty. Aikks, Oct. 29.—At half past 10 o'clock to-night the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty in the Broxton Bridge cnee and, on motion of coun- ticl for the defence, the prisoners were discharged. The prosecution enter ed a nol pros in the remaining case, in which Heirs ami Stanley were the defendants. The evidence in the Broxton Bridge murder case was all in when court ( ook a recess for dinner, the testimo ny for the defence covering a surpris- 'ugly short range. For the conven- ience of the reader I will hrieily re view from memory ti e evidence pre sented by both sides, as it appears to have an impo.taut bearing on the case, with some of the features which are supposed to be considered by a jury: By a white witness and a half doz en negroes the State proved that Dr. Ackeaman was at Malcomb Wood’s store, near Bioxton Bridge, on the fatal Monday nignt; by several ne groes that lie left there in company with three other men in buggies: go ing towards Broxton Bridge; by Sandy Campbell that while he was walking on the road with Ishum Hearse, the deceased, they were both seized and tied by a party of men in which some of the defendants wt re identiffed; by a half dozen ne groes that they saw Hiers hitching up his buggy, in his yard while three or four men in buggies were at his gate: by J. J. Folk, .that a party of men brought Ishaui Kearse to his house for him to identify; that he did so and went with them, on foot, for two miles, hunting Hannah Wal ker. returned for his horse and con tinued with them, but did not recog nize any of them except perl ftps the voice of young Hiers. (Folk is a well-to-do-farmer, over 53 years of age, and a relative of two of the de fendants i By Ben Seymour, that Hannah Walker was taken from his house by Folk and Aekeruau, while others waited in the road; by Sandy Campbell, that Rosa Kearse was taken from Iris house by Dr Acker man and others: probably a half doz en other negroes gave testimony tell ing about seeing Isham and Rosa Kearse and Hannah Walker in the possession of a party of men, in which they recognized Ackerman, Stanley and Heirs; by Rosa Kearse the Suite presented direct ev'denee e, the whipping o derth o'Isham Kea ’se by ; he si; men 'a ({Uest’on whom she swore she recogn zed; by physicians and coroner as o the find ing of the bodies and the cause of death by beating. The defence has contradicted Rosa Kearse by several wi, nesses, who swore she told them soon after being put in jail for safekeeping, that she del not know who whipded her. it being too dark for her to see. The alleged fact that these witnesses, or most of them we e friends of the de lendants, and that ihe night in ques tion was. according to evidence, a bright moonlight night, and that there was fire at the place of whip ping. would ordinarily he consider- ed in this connection The defence lias also proved by a number of re spectable witnesses that Bandy Camp- I" I! is unworthy of belief. These witnesses testified to being interested in the ease and to having contributed towards tlie defence. The defence proved the character of the defen dants for peace and order by prob- abb some of the most substantial ni' ii in Barnwell county. Borne of them, however, after testifying to Bra’.i s good reputation in that re gard. admitted having heard of his being in a shooting scrape and a light at the church. Ail of them were interested in the ease, being friendly to »he accused and had contributed money to conduct the defence. I'utting away all the petty issues that have occupied so much time, tlo'io is tlie ease as it has been pre Mnied to my mind. Tlie defendants again ren amed olT the stand; again no attempt was made to prove alibis. - The .Vi uff. ^ AGED ONE HUNDRED AND NINE Mrs. Berube, a Canadian Centenarian, Dies at Fitchburg Massachusetts.

Washi.voton, Oct,. 30.—From the stories received here, Senator Till man is not as deeply and actively In terested in the silver fight now as he was before the Chicago convention, when he promised to be a figure in national politics. Senator Jones stands in the way of the South Caro lina Senator and suppresses him on all occasions He will rot permit him to come to the front by making speeches to pivotal States. He seems to he afraid the South Carolinian will do more harm than good. Since the opening of the campaign it is said that the Senator has made few speeches under the auspices of the national committee. All his efforts have been put forth under the direct ion of county and Congressional committees. His Pennsylvania ex pedition was arranged by local lights and by the Congresional committee *i e re. At Chicago, it is stated, the national, State and county commit tees declined to make an assignmeut for him in that city, and he is now speaKing there by invitation of a State Senator. The reason for all this is that Sen ator Jones fears Senator Tillman will make a break at the wrong place and time. Tillman’s friends charge that the failure of their man to come to the front is due entirely to the jeal ousy of Senator Jones and others managing the campaign. They say that Senator Jones is afraid Tillman may gain the leadership of the silver forces of the Senate if he Is allowed a conspicious part in the campaign. They saw that Tillman is not as ra il ical in his views as Aitgeld, and that the latter has been showed full swing In the campaign. They do not like this and threaten to pay back the score some day. They say that the South Carolinian has received ova tions everywhere he has gone and has done great work for the cause of silver. othe 0. H. SUE.

Julius Mannow Meets Death Gamely— How he and Windrath Killed Cashier Birch. Chicago, October 30.—Julius Man now was hanged at noOn today for tlie murder of Carey B. Birch. The condemned man showed great ner vousness during the night, but walk ed to the gallows and meet death gamely. From the scaffold he declar ed that hia statement made yesterday in which he said that Windrath was innocent was true. Mannow was pronounced dead fifteen minutes after the drop fell. On the night of June 25, 1895 Man now entered the West Chicag Street Railway barns and demanded of the cashier, Mr. Carey B. Birch, the mon ey in his charge. Birch reached for a revolver, when Windrath fired four shots ami Mannow one, with fatal ef fect. Seizing a bundle of currency contaning $160 the murderers escaped, but were later arrested on informa tion given by a woman who lived in the same house with them, and had overheard the men plotting. The trial of Windrath and Mannow was most exciting, several plots for their liberation being revealed and extra ordinary | recautions being taken to prevent the success of these schemes. Mannow at length pleaded guilty and made a full confession and on his evidence both men were convicted Windrath was banged last June, but sentence on Mannow was deferred. When later he was sentenced he feigded insanity and secured a re prieve, but his sanity being determ ined he he was finally doomed to die today. Condensed Testimony. Chas. R. Hood, Broker and n.anufaoturer’s Agent, Colum- bua, Ohio, certifies that Dr. King’s New Discovery has no equal as a Cough remedy. J. D. Brown, Prop. St. James Hotel, Ft.
