SOLICITOR MAY PROSECUTE l\\R
DON El) M \N FOR SECOND
KILLING.
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.

.Mr. t ?tts is collecting newspaper edi
troials criticising the governor for
Showing clemency, and will send them

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
