FORTY YEARS FOR ASSAULT. Serious Case From Andrews Heard Without Excitement. Georgetown, June 26:?Stephen Bellamy, the negro charged with: criminal assault upon a white woman, near the city of Andrews, in this county, a few weeks ago, was adjudged guilty by a jury Saturday, and upon recommendation for mercy the court affixed the penalty at forty years' imprisonment. As the negro is about forty-five years of age, this practically means a life sentence. The case was called Friday morning, and was coneiuaea, except me argument, that night. This morning the lawyers were heard,and the jury,after being out a short time, broughtin its verdict. The law permitted a sentence of from five to forty years and the judge affixed the maximum. The crime of which he was found guilty was committed on a Friday night. It was not reported until Saturday night, when the mutterings became loud, and but for the quick action of the sheriff of Georgetown county, a lynching would have oci n n 1 Ll 4 ? 4-U/-. currea. rseuamy was uruuKm, uu wc jail here and it was learned was to & carried to Columbia to await trial. All the roads leading direct to Columbia were watched during Sunday following the commission of the crime but Sheriff Ward took his prisoner to Charleston, thence by rail to Columbia. The sentence seems to give satisfaction and the incident is closed. McCotchen-Welch Wedding.
