AH UGLY CASE.
WHITE MAN ACCUSED OF AS?
SAULTING IDIOTIC GIRL.
J. Z. Wooten, of Lexington County,
Arrested at Depot Tills Morning
and Committed to Jail?A Horrid
ami Repulsive Crime Ctiarged
Against Him.
From the Daily Item. Oct. 13.
When the train from Orangeburg
arrived at the passenger station this
morning among the passengers were
J. Z. Wooten and wife and Zora
Moseley, his wife's deformed idiot
child, a girl about fourteen years old,
and M. D. Moseley, a brother of Mrs.
Wooten. As Wooten stepped from
the coach with the deformed child In
his arms he was met by Deputy Sher?
iff Raffield, who presented a warrant
and arrested him on the charge of
rape.
The warrant which Deputy RafTleld
read to Wooten alleges that Wooten
on or about the first day of Septem?
ber, In the county of Lexington, crim?
inally assaulted Zora Moseley, his
?tep-daughter, a child fourteen years
old, so horribly deformed as to be as
helpless as an infant and in mind
practically Imbecile. The warrant fur?
ther alleges that Delia Wooten, the
wife of J. Z. Wooten and the mother
of the imbecile child was a witness
to the crime, having caught Wooten
In the act; that Wooten, when discov?
ered threatened to kill his wife and
the child if his crime was ever dis?
closed to any one, especially either
of Mrs. Wooten's brothers.
Wooten submlttea to arrest with?
out denial, leaving his wife and child
In the waiting room in charge of M.
D. Moseley. On the way to the Jail
Wooten protested that he was guilt?
less of the alleged crime, that it was a
piece of spite work, hatched up by
his wife's family, who are anxious to
put him out of the way and get pos?
session of the girl In order that they
may exhibit her as a curiosity at fairs
and carnival shows, as he had done,
and thereby gain the profit that he
has derived heretofore. Wooten also
stated that he had raised the girl
from Infancy, having married her
mother when the child was little more
than a baby. He put on a bold front
for f. guilty man, if he is guilty, de?
manded an immediate preliminary
and isked that two physicians be call?
ed Ir. to examine the child. g
The warrant on which Wooten was
arrested was Issued by Magistrate A.
B. Barhman, of New Brookland, Lex?
ington county, on October 12th, and
was brought to this city yesterday
afternoon by M. D. Moseley, the
brother of Mrs. Wooten and uncle of
the child, Zora Moseley. Immediate?
ly upon his arrival Moseley sought
Sheriff Epperson and delivered to him
the warrant and a letter from Magis?
trate Barhman. The warrant show?
ed that It had been Issued on the affi?
davit of Moseley, on Information and
belief. Moseley stated that his sister.
Mrs. Wooten. had stated the facts to
him, although In fear of death at the
hands of her husband should the fact
that she had Informed on him come
to his ears. Moseley Informed Sheriff
Eppernon that Wooten had been liv?
ing at Privateer for several weeks
and that he would go Immediately to
Wooten's home and Induce him to
come to Sumter this morning on the
9 o'clock train. It was arranged to
have an officer at the depot to arrest
Wooten upon arrival. Moseley's plans
worked out to the letter and Wooten
Is In^Jall where he will remain until
the sheriff of Lexington county sends
an officer for him. A telegram was
sent to the sheriff of Lexington noti?
fying him of the arrest of Wooten this
morning and It Is possible that his
deputy will arrive tonight or on the
early train tomorrow.
I The case is in all respects a very
ugly one and If Wooten Is guilty, as
charged, no punishment that the law
permits could be too severe. Noth?
ing save a brute Of the most abject,
vicious and degruded type could be
guilty of the alleged crime ngainst a
helpless, deformed Imbecile such as
Zora Moseley Is.

CORRECT CLOTHES
tu
O NE of the satisfac
tory things about our
Clothes is that there is
a style, or rather a
number of styles for
every type of Man.
The Young Fellow,
who lifces to spread
himself to the limit, is
well provided for and
so is the Man who is
quiet in his taste.
Dignity, tone and
character serve to keep
our garments within
the gates of good judg?
ment, though in every
line they are indicative
of clever tailoring and
the latter-day innovat?
ions of fashion.

It is the lot of the wise man to be
asked fool question*. In fact, the
asking is often an acknowledgment of
'he wisdom of the man Of Whom the
Inquiry is made. Nobody ever asks
i fool question of a fool, for a fool
answera a fool according to his folly,
and there is no question w hereunto
the aaker so honestly wanta a wise
answer as a fool question.
This being so, the man who asked
William Jennings Bryan whether he

Mr. Bryan a compliment. It happen?

that lie was a wise man by the reply

"My daughter had suffered from birth (for twenty vests)
from Eczema, and had tried many so-called cures and Gosens
of physician's prescriptions with little or no relief, until I was
advised to have her tiy " Bloodine," and I am thankful today
to be able to inform you that she has been entirely cured sfter
using six bottle! of " Bloodine." M Bloodine " is positively the
only remedy known to science that has the full power to drive
this much dreaded disease out of the system; no matter how
long you have been afflicted with it. What Mrs. Blair says is
enough to convince the most skeptical that " Bloodine will
