When Mr Gass left 1 here in September it was pretty well s known among his friends that Cupid 1 had him coiner, but none of them < were enlightened as to the time and 1 place. < Bill Franklin, an old offender and < all-round bad negro, was brought ] here last Thursday from Greelyville 1 by Rural Policeman W E Allen and < lodged in the county jail. Bill, it < seems, made a practice of getting 1 young negro boys into his game and when he could not fleece them out i of their coin at cards or with the i bones he would pull his pistol on them and compel them to fork over at the muzzle of his gun. Some years ago he shot a negro at Greely- i ville and made his escape, going to Florida, where he spent about two years, six months of this on the chaingang. It is also reported that he killed a negro in Florida. When arrested he made a strong resistance but was soon subdued by Officers Allen and Gamble.
