Here he gave the otlicers the information that his mother changed clothes af? ter the ihOOting und showed them a hole between the ceiling and the wcatherboarding where she had hid? den an apron and skirt, both of Which were discolored with blood I ?( ilns.

Adulterer, Paroled by Governor, Or- i dered Buck to Penitentlnry. - Columbia, Pec 30.?Jack Parish, ;i white man Of Marion County, who was convicted of adultery and was paioh-d by Goverfnor Blease on De? cember 9, has been rearrested by the sheriff of Florence County and will be sent up to serve his term, as he has Violated the condition of the parole. Telegraphic instructions to recom? mit Parish to the Penitentiary wore sent to the Florence iherif by the Governor tonight. The knowledge that Parish had vio? lated his parole came to the Governor today in the shape of a telegram from Sheriff Thos. L. Purch, of Florence, reading as follows: 'Have you paroled one Jack Parish, a white man, con? victed Marion County? Has been convicted In this county for being drunk and disorderly. Sentenced on December 28 to county gang or fine of $20. Also threatened to kill Rural Police Cole and Deputy Sheriff Cain. When he IS released must I return him to Penitentiary? Piease advise j at once." The Governor wired Sheriff Burch as follows: "Your wire. Recommit .lack Parish to Penitentiary at once." The dlowing statement was given out by the Governor as his reasons for paroling Parish: "Parish, Jack, 'white.' 'Convicted at the October, 1912, term of court for Marion county Of adultery and sentenced to eight months in the State Penitentiary.' "Petition was presented by the peti? tioner's mother, who is 72 years of age and who seems to be in very bad health. The petition states that the defendant is the sole support of an Infirm mother, who is 72 years old and who Is suffering from the neces? sities of life owing to her inability to earn a living by her daily toil. Her friends furnished the money to pay her way to Columbia and back to Marion. I presume this was done to touch the heart of the Governor in person, and i am glad it can be so touched. "The petition is signed, asking for ! the parole during good behavior, by i \V. Bt Blue, sheriff Marion County; ID. F. Miles, Clerk of Court; James Norton, James Stack house, G. B. Stackhoiise, county treasurer; J. D. ; Montgomery, L. T. Stackhouse, VVm. : T. P ans and many other prominent j citizen:? of Marion. j "Upon this showing ! paroled the young man during good behavior, and j on the further condition that he sup? port his old mother. Parole dated i ?ecember 9, 1912." i The Holiday Eve Club dance was. as usual, a largely attended and en? joyable social event. GARLINGTON GOES HOME, Special Ortler Isaued by Governor for Laurent! Man to Vlall His rather. Columbia, Jan. i.?John Y. Gar? lington, serving a three-year sentence in the State penitentiary left yester? day for l^aurens to visit his father, Col. S. D.
