S SUPREME COURT REFUSES

'Columbia, June 21: -7 Attorney

I
day announcing that the Uniter
tates supreme court had affirmec
ie sentence of death upon T I

> stated that the supreme courl
id dismissed the appeal of Joe

1 the charge of murder, and wh(
is been fighting extradition. Granl

The negro, Joe Grant, alias Brown
wanted for the alleged shooting
' a white man in Edgefield county ir
)C6. He fled to Pennsylvania anc
is been fighting efforts of the South
arolina officials to get him bad*

It is the expectation of Attorney

under sentence of death on a con

Although addressed in a loud tone
l of voice he did not seem to notice
that he was spoken to, nor would
j he utter a word or pay attention to
any one near him. It is likely that
a committee of medical experts will
be asked to pass on the question of
1 whether Vaughn is insane or not.
1 Vaughn was convicted in October
* of 1912, and has been confined in
* the penitentiary ever since for safe^
keeping.
3 Two other capital cases from this
" State, Joe Malloy of Bennettsville,
^ under sentence of death for the
? murder of Prentice Moore, and Will
i Bethune of Clarendon county, also
) under sentence of death, have been
t affirmed by the United States su^
preme court on the same point involved
in the Vaughn case.

--French Advance In West.

London, June 22:?French gains
t \
in the west and the battle for Lemr
berg stand out as the distinctive
struggles at the present stage of the
European war. Many unconfirmed
. I reports have reached London that
Lemberg already has fallen to the
Austro-Germans, and Petrograd disi
patches indicate that the evacuation
j of the Galician capital may be look3
ed for at any time.
In the Vosges the Germans have
t retired to the east bank of the Fecht,
I according to their own admission,
but they assert that all French attacks
have been repulsed,
j The fighting around Arras continues
desperate and sanguinary, the
Germans counter-attacking to offset
^ the recent French gains. A wireless
dispatch from Berlin says:
' "Neutral ports declare that the
k battle raging near Arras may decide
the fate of northern France.
i The -French are strong but the Germans
are continuously receiving rej
inforcements. The losses on both
sides are fearful."
_ The House of Commons today
" adopted a measure designed to check
supplies reaching Germany through
| neutral States. The bill, when it
j becomes a statute. ^ may have a
. i marked effect on American exports.
