An Outrageous Abuse of Executive Clemency-v_ *? - News and Goofier; 8arch 5. Perhaps the most outrageous abuse of Executive clemency since the days of Scott aod Moses is the recently grantee} pardon of the notorious 0. W. Locker, of Mount Pleasant, by Gover nor Tillman. Lacker was convicted at the Jane tern: of the Coart of General Sessions of Berkeley. County for 1893 on a oharge of larceny from the field. He was defended by E. J. Dennis and Charles S. Yenning, and after a fair, and impartial trial was declared guilty by & jory composed principally of Tillmanites. He was sen? tenced by Judge Izlar to pay. a fine of $500 or be imprisoned in the State Penitentiary . for thirty months, but was admitted to bail with good and ^ sufficient sureties. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, Lacker being represented Mr. C. S Bissel 1. The Supreme Coart affirmed the decision of the lower Courts. At the Court of Sessions of Berke? ley last month, Judge Townsend presiding, the case was called. Solici? tor Jervey and E. J. Dennis and C. S. Yenning, the former attorneys for Lacker, called. Mr. Dennis said that he had nothing to do with the ease, bat he understood that Mr. Bisse ll was Mr. Locker's attorney. Mr. Bissel! was cal led, bat failed to respond, whereupon the judgment of the Supreme Coart was made ?be judgment of the Circuit Coart, and Laeker was turned over to the sheriff of Berkeley to execute the sentence of the Court. Prior to the call of the case the sheriff had been instructed by Gover? nor Tillman not to pat Lacker io jail, so when the sentence was announced the convict was not imprisoned, though possibly kept under legal surveillance. Lacker's reputation all over Berkeley County, and especially at Mount Pleasant, was so notorious that Mr. T. G. Venning addressed Governor Tillman the following letter to put him on his guard : MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., February 1,1894. To bb Excellency, B. K. Tillman, Governor, Colombia, S. C.-Dear Sir : I ask of yon io my name, and also in the name of the good people of Mount Pleasaot, that before yea consider the petition of E. W. Lacker, (who was convicted at the Jane term of Coart, 1893, for larceny from the fields, which conviction on appeal to the Supreme Court was affirmed,) that you confer with the people of Berkeely County generally as to his character, I could give your Excellency a history of Locker's life which, I am sure, would cause you to refuse to consider the case, bat I do oot feel tatt I am called upon at this stage of the case to forward such history wheo the Courts of Charleston and Berkeley stand ready to furnish it. Bat if your Excellency desire that I shall furnish you with C. W. Lucker's history I will theo, in a seasonable time, for? ward it. I am very respectfully. THEO. G. YENNING, Anti-Tillmanite. In reply Mr. Yenning received the following letter from Governor Till- j man's private secretary. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. EXECUTIVE CHAMBER. COLUMBIA, February 8, 1894. Theodore G. Yenning, Mount Pleas? ant, S. C.-Dear Sir: Governor Till? man directs me to ask yon to send OD what you have to say against the par? don of C. W. Lacker. Very respect? fully, D. H. THOMPKINS Private Secretary. Mr. Venning .sent the following reply : MOUNT PLEASANT, Feb. 14.1894. His Excellency B. R. Tillman, Governor, Columbia, S. C -Dear Sir : In response to yours of the 18th instant received by me this day, directing me to furnish yon with what evidence I I hs ,e against the pardon of C W. Lacker. I beg leave to submit the following: Io the year 1884 C. W Lacker was held under a criminal prosecution for maltreatment of bis two children by his first wife, j Upon the cali of the case he j agreed that if the case was dropped against him be would give a bond and mortgage for ?1,500 for j the support of his said two children. The case was dropped and he and bis second wife made the bond aod mort- ; gage the subject of the foreclosure suit j which was subsequently brought. The j fictitious mortgage referred to by Mas- j ter Leland caused the litigation. I j herewith enclose a certified copy of the final report of J. S. Leland, late Master of Berkeley County, in said case. If you will carefully read the i same you will find a complete and damaging history of Locker. I also enclose extract of decree of| Judge Cothrao confirming the Master's re port above referred to. I also j endose several affidavits of ,citizens of Mount Pleasant for your consideration, to wit : No 1, Claus Koper ; No 2, C. A. Weinheimer: No 3, J. F. Rodgers; No 4, S. Porcher Smith ; No 5, A. L. Welch ; No 6, Geo F. Kinlock No 7, j A. Denton, aod No 8, T. G. Venning. If the documents I have herein en? closed and submitted to your Excel? lency do oot coovinee you that Lucker is not eotitled to Executive clemency direct me to furnish other and I will gladly comply. Very respectfully. THEO. G. YENNING. | P. S.-if your Excellency desire to know who I am, I take great pleasure io referring you to the Rev. J. L. j Girardeau, Columbia, S. C. The barest outline of Lucker's mis? doings would take up too much space. Suffice it to say that be had a villiai career at Boueeau's Depot and the boots io what is DO* Berkeley. He tried once for Liarder. and stroi saspected bf other fetoui?s inclue the borniog of his own house, whei he failed to secure the payment insurance, the jury rendering a ver for the company without leaving t seats. He moved to McClellan ville i there displayed publicly a new phase his infamous character. He beat little soo, by a former wife, in such inhuman manner that the scars on boy's body showed for weeks afterwai The citizens of McClellanville held indignation meeting, brough;. Lue and the poor boy to Charleston ; turned the brute over to the author!ti Full testimony was taken before late Master Leland in 1884, ant report was rendered, which was sub queotiy affirmed, by the presid? Judge. The solictor, in the interest humanity, agreed to drop all crimii prosecution io case Locker execute* bond for $1,500, secured by a mo gage executed by bis wife for the si port of his children, including the s be had so cruelly beaten. As shown Master Leland's report such bond a mortgage was executed and accept and, Lucker failing to comply, a si for foreclosure was instituted. Imni diately Lucker set up a fictitio mortgage by bis present wife of t property to one Shears, of San Francise California. After an exhaustive report Mast Leland concludes as follows, under da of September 4, 1885 : "First. There was no executio From the foregoing testimony the di exscution of the so-called bond ai mortgage to Shears depends on tl evidence of C. W. Lucker and his wif Lucker contradicts himself so cot stantly in his examinations, aside fro the evidence as to his credibility, th the Master is forced to the conclusic that the subscribing witnesses wet myths, and that there was really no e: ecutioo. Mrs. Lucker, if she signe the mortgage at ali, did so because, i her own language, "Mr. Lucker toi me to sign the mortgage.7' Sb appeared in her examination and b her evidence to have been a mere pur. pet in the bands of her husband. "Second. There was no delivery At any rate there was no delivery i time to affect the priority of the morl gage given to plaintiff. Lucker' testimony of the delivery to the agent c Shears in Charleston early in Februar is absurd. The document itself show that the affidavit before the notary, signed or not, is dated March 8. Tb recording in Berkeley is dated Marc ll and in Georgetown March 13. A records do not bear false witness th document was io South Carolina at an rate till March 13. Shears's evidenc of its delivery to bim in April or Ma' makes it too late for Lucker's purposes "I would therefore repeat witl emphasis the recommendation of m special report of Juue 6, 1884, to wit That, judgment should be entere* against the defendant Shears, and tba the mortgage which he pretends to hob be set aside and declared invalid as fa as the mortgage of the plantings is con cerned. "All of which is respectfully 6ub mitted. "J. A Leland, Master. ''September 4,1885." The report of the Master was con firmed, the mortgage was set aside an? the property was sold for the benefit o his children. Lucker's latest crime and the specia subject of this article was the stealing of guinea squashes from the field of hi; neighbor, Claus K"per, at Mourn Pleasant. Pis trial was fair anc impartial. There was no politics io it. as the jury was composed mainly o white men and Tillmanites. On the same day that Lucker wa; convicted, a negro was convicted of the same offence and sentenced to two yean in the Penitentiary, where he is now al hard labor. About the latter part of January a petition for Lucker's pardon was circulated bj School Commissioner DeHay, a half brother of Brig Gen. Dennis, a Representative from Berkeley County, who so nearly escaped being elected a Circuit Judge by the late Legislature of blessed memory. A full and free pardon was prayed upon the ground that Judge Iziar and Solicitor Jervey had not given Lucker a fair trial as he was tried in his absence. The petition was drawn up in the handwrit? ing of Gen. Dennis and when it was submitted to Mr. Theoeore G. Venning he saw thereon the names of E. J. Dennis, A. H. Deliay. W. M. Wil? liams, J B. Morrison, W. H. Wagner, George F. Kinloch, A. L. Welch and others. Gen. Dennis had said iu open Court that be no longer represented Lucker, and that Lucker bad not paid for his defence at the early stage of the case. Mr. Venning states, in exoneration of Messrs Kinloch and Welch, that when they were informed of the many crimes of which Lucker had been guilty they withdrew their names from the peti? tion for bis pardon, and their affidavits to this effect were sent to Governor Tillman by registered letter. It should be stated that Messrs. Dennis, DeHay and Morrison are fully informed of the infamous career of Lucker in St. John's Berkeley and St. James Santee. In spite of all these facts Governor Tillman saw fit on February 20 to graut a full and free pardon to C. W. Lucker "for divers good causes and considera? tions," and that notorious character is again at large, ready no doubt to per? petrate fresh outrages rgainst law and order in thc Tillman-ridden county of Berkeley. This exercise cf Executive el eme D cy appear? all the more unjust \and out? rageous from the fact that in the case of the State vs Peter Bruno, who was to be hanged on the' 16th instant for wrecking the Columbia train at Lin colnville, Governor Tillmao submitted the petition of Bruno to Solictor Jervey for his opinion, whereas iu the case of Lucker the solicitor was not consulted at all for divers reasons and consid? ?rations best known to Gen. Dennis and Governor Tillman. Suicide of Mr. Henry Player. SHILOH, S. C. March 2, 1894. Watchman Southron : . Truly, "afflictions never come singly," as is veri6ed on every hand : Mr. Henry Player, liring two miles from this place, and one of the most quiet, upright men in the country, deliberately, and we believe premeditatedly, jumped into a wei;!, about ten feet in water, in front of his boase and on his deceased father's premises (a well used for watering stock) and drowned himself. Mr Player, on the night of this horrible occurrence, appeared very restless and remarked just as some company was leaving his house, that tbay need not hurry off as he did not feel like he could sleep. Some minutes after this remark be sat down and unfastened one of his shoes, and after waiting a few moments retied it, and getting up went to the table and taking his knife, keys, etc., out of pockets put them on the table. He told his two daughters (both grown) that he was going to walk out awhile, and on reaching the door, turned with his face towards his daughters looking directly in the face of each one, and then turned and walked out the door. As he remained out an unusual length of time the family became very uneasy, and soon search was begun. He was found in about three hours after he !?r* the house in the bottom of the well. His hat indicated bis wofal fate; it was laid on the trough near the curb. This caused the j searching party to suspect that he wa3 in the j well, which was true, too true. This j occurred on the night of the 27 ult. Mr. Player wus the administrator of his father's estate, find the management of it seemed too niuc-J for his mind. His father died about three weeks ago. Yesterday the sad news reached herr -jat Mrs. Margaret Chandler, who was staying with her daughter in Atlanta,, Ga., bad just died. Her remains will be interred at the Shiloh cemetery to-morrow at 3 p. m. She is about 61 years old aud is sister to Mr. Henry Player, above referred to and daughter of the late J. P. Player. The bereaved families have the sympathies of the entire community. AGRICOLA. Logan Notes. The snow storm was the heaviest we have bad for a long time. There was about ten inches of it lying on a ?evei. Our farmers have not been able to do much work yet, as our :ands are low and there has been so much wet weather lately. Some of our farmers are using iertilizers, but many have curtailed the use, not having received j satisfactory returns. Our community was distressed to learn of the sad death of Mr. Henry Player, ot Shiloh, on*tbe 28th, and sympathize with his afflicted family. Mr. Robert Poole, Jr., who has been suffer? ing recently with rheumatism is now improv? ing. Mr. Hector Ard is very sick at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. J. F. Logan. The New Hope Free School under the | charge of Mr. Peter Thomas, has not yet closed. It is reported lha-t Rev. M. J. Morris bas gone to Florida. We are watching the doings of Gov. Till? man's brave constables, and expect to hear that some of them will meeta man after a while. HAPPY J AXE. Fulton Letter. FULTON. S. C., March 3, '34. Since tbe heavy snowfall on Saturday and Sunday, the farmers have been able to do but little work. Oats came from under the bleached sheet little damaged if not beneficed. Eight or nine of the tubes of Mr. C. L. Griffin's engine used at bis saw mill, were iniured one day last week by the water get? ting too low in the boiler and causing them to expand. His loss is about S100. The depot at Pinewood was again robbed one night last week, hut the only loss sus? tained was one rifle belonging to Mr. Stack, the agent, who had left the premises for a short while and on returning found a large unknown negro in his office. He, thinking that be had him surrounded, hurried out to secure enough help to capture him ; but on gettiog back the intruder had disappeared. The supposition is that he secreted himself in the building during the day and unbarred one of the doors not much used, through which he escaped while Mr. Slack was getting help to capture him. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Broughton, of Sumter, paid a flying visit to relatives here one day this week. Miss Noddie Richardson, of Panola, is vis? iting Miss Caroline Richardson of this neigh? borhood. Quarterly Conference will convene at St. Andrew's Chapel next Saturday and Sunday week. Rev. W. C. Power will preside.' Dr. W. H. Murphy, of Birmingham, Ala., ha? located at Rimini. S. B. W. G. - ? - mm - Pisgah Letter. PISGAH, March 2. The farmers are again temporarily thrown back in their plowing from the sleet. It sleeted here 26 hours, and the depth averaged six or seven inches. The plums in bloom are all dead, but the small grain is not injured. The friends of Col. Jno. S. Richardson here are pained to know that he is no more. We can never realize the feeling we have for our friends until they leave us. So you are getting a little sick at last, about Congress. We have been that way for sometime. With the exception of our Con gressmen from tbis State, a more contempti? ble body never assembled in the National Halls. Led in the House by Reed, and in the Senate by Sherman, the big democratic majority is ruining their party and giving the country no relief from its stagnant condition; causing the people to go from bad to worse. We presume your readers have all seen the brilliant meteor that rose at Hagood, S. C., Feb. 26, 1894. We wonder if it is not a fragment of the great one seen in the East last December, that possibly went around the world and shot up here. We are glad to hear the peeple at Hagood are getting on sc well. The tree agent is abroad in the land with their pretty pictures. Severa! of us have bit at the tempting bait. The Mormon Elders have been through here several times. What we have seen of them, they are very gentlemanly in . their address. No converts to their faith that we have heard of here. We have enjoyed Mr. Brown's Sermons very much, lt is an interesting feature of jour paper. We have beard them very highly spoken of by your readers. J. E. D. [We "respectfully submit" that GUT friends J. E. D. and Guv. have had, we think, large enough latitude in discussing the issues be tween them, and we therefore have omitted that portion of J. E. D's. letter which refer9 to Guv. We think our readers would not object to our calling a truce at this point. ED.] Letter From Wedgefield. WEDGEFIELD, March 1, 1894. Wedgefield na3 been alive with gay young folks for the pa9t two or three weeks. Misses Emily Nesbit and Bessie Ward, of Georgetown, and Miss Mayme Ferguson, of Laurens, are spending some time with friends here. Miss Bettie A y cock has returned home from an extensive visit to Laurens and Marion. Misa Grace Elmore after a weeks stay in town bas returned to ber home in Columbia^ Miss May Singleton, accompanied by her uncle, Mr. C. K. Singleton from Acton, spent last Sunday evening in town. Mr.- Goff, of Richmond, and Messrs. Douglas China, H. M. Sanders, Robt. Del gar and Henry Clark, of Sumter, were over last Sunday. Mr. A. A. Moore, Jr., of Camden, is spend. ing some time among us, visiting friends. With so many gay young people to keep things moving, a surprise party or a sociable is liable to occur any evening, and the settled folks come in for their share of the pleasure. If people are only young once, they can feel and appear young very many times. Rev. E. D. Wells bas accepted the call ex? tended him by High Hills Baptist Church. The public school here closed on yesterday. Mr. J. D. Wilder who has been here since Cbristmas in Mr. V. R. Pringle's place, re? turned to Sumter, hts home, last evening^ Mr. Wilder while here only a short time,made some very warm friends who hate to see him leave. Miss Lucy Singleton will commence on next Monday and teach a private school. The walking public were very much an? noyed on last Sunday by a box car being left across the sidewalk on Saturday night block? ing up the way. Such nuisances could be very easily avoided and not cost anybody any real trouble. Mr. B. P. Kelley was haviog a ditch cleaned out a short time ago, when he came across sixteen moccasins, the most of them very large, in a short distance. Eight of them were found in a distance of only a few feet. The many testimonials received daily by the proprietors of Salvation Oil, emphasizing its value as a cure for neuralgia and rheumatism, furnish convincing proof of i ts great merits. It is par excellence the lini? ment. mmWM * 1 mmm Specimen Cases. S.
