Actor's Society lh?^ \greotl to Help Otts Find Material Witnesses to support Indictment still Pending. Bpartanburg, May 31.?There Is a ehance thai George Hasty, who was sentenced to life Imprisonment for killing Milan Bennett, an actor, at (Jaffney In December, 1905, but was pardoned by Qov, Blease last wool:, may be brought to trial for killing Abbott Davidson, j. (\ Otts, the solicitor of this cir? cuit., said today that he had taken steps to get In touch with the mater .il witnesses. Mb-s Venn Sheridan and Miss May Bishop, He added that while he considered it useless to prosecute Hasty during Qov, Blouse's administration, as . von if he secured an dher convic tion the governor would likely pardon him. the ease would not be nol pressed nor tpe indictment for ^etton. Dennett and Davidson were mem? bers of the company presenting "Nothing hut Money," a musical com? edy. While in Gaffney they were guests at the Piedmont Inn. kept by two brothers of George Hatty. Miss Sheridan, the lOUhrette, told Bennett and Davidson on the morning of the killing that on the night before she found Hasty peeping through the transom Into her bedroom. They re? monstrated with the hotel man and Davidson struck him Hasty drew a revolver and shot both dead. Hasty was tried only for killing Bennett, thai being regarded as the strongest ease because Bennett had not laid hands on Hasty. The Actors' Society of America which raised a fund >f $16,000 to prosecute Hasty f'?r killing Bennett and engaged Mr. Otts, then In private practice, to assist Solicitor T. B. Scase in the prosecution is much exercised over the pardoning Of Hasty. H. Nelson Morris, secretary of the so? ciety, has telegraphed t-.? Solicitor Otts, asking for a full account of the circumstances leading to the pardon and Inquiring what can be done to prosecute Hasty for the killing of Davidson. The society will aid Mr. Otti to gel In touch with Miss Sheridan and Miss Bishop. Davidson's dying declaration ean also be used gainst Hasty, Mr. Otts !>< Id i In order shov (hat the pardon has ii d in. t with g. in ral approval .Mr. t ?tts is collecting newspaper edi troials criticising the governor for Showing clemency, and will send them to the Actors' society. Mr. Otts said when Hasty was pardoned that ho would probably not prosecute him for killing Davidson, but at that time hfl had no hope of being able to And the necessary wltntsst a Big Bonn- Offer Tills Wee k. - ? . o o 11 votes will be given to ev< ry candidate that brings In b club if .". yearly subscriptions to the Item or 10 yearly subscriptions t.< the Watch? man and Southron.
