8am Dukes, the negro who in OoM
blood shot down and kill? d Police
man I Iurw?. k it Pinewood Mon?
day evening, la now In the Hoper Hos?
pital In Charleston with a bullet
wound In his back and not expected
to live, acordlng to reports which
reached here Wednesday night and
Thursday morning.
According to a staement made by
one of the members of the train crew
of Atlantic Coast Line train No. 53,
Dukes was picked up by the train
Wednesday night at Ashley Junction
wh? re he had been shot and probably
fatally wounded by another negro and
taken on to Charleston where he was
placed In the Hoper Hospital. Dukes'
wound was In the back and It was
thought that It was mortal.
It seems from this account that Sam
Dukes got off Southern train No. 14
at Ashley Junction shortly before 10
o'clock Wednesday night. While In
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad yard
he was held up and robbed by an?
other negro, who took a watch, a
38-callbre pistol and some money
off Dukes' person. Dukes then at?
tempted to get away and was shot In
the back as he ran off. Dukes' slay?
er then made his escape. The wound?
ed man was placed ir the baggage car
of Atlantic Coast Line train No. 63,
which rolled up to Ashley Junction a
few minutes later, and taken on to
Charleston, when he was placed in
the Roper Hospital for treatment.
The news of the shooting of Sam
Dukes at Ashley Junction reached
here through a long distance message
from Charleston to Pinewood and
much speculation was caused as to
whether or not the negro was actual?
ly Same Dukes. It Is stated that
Dukes confessed while on the train
going from Ashley Junction to Char?
leston that he was Sam Dukes and
told of the killing at Pinewood. At
this time, It Is understood, the negro
had been told that he was mortally
wounded and would probably not live
to reach Charleston.
ACCOFVT FROM PINFAVOOD.
Much F.xcitemcnt Created at News of
Shooting?A Negro Named Spinney
Confeeors to Aiding Duke*.
Pinewood, Feb. 13.?There Is much
excitement at this place at this time
owing to lhe news which reached here
today of the shooting of Same Dukes,
the slayer of Policeman Harwick at
this place Monday, at Ashley Junction
last night. Mr. Alwin Mims left here
this morning on the Atlantic Coast
Line train for Charlest?n, which he
will probably reach about 2 o'clock
today. From Charleston Mr. Mims
will telegraph back whether the man
now in the Roper Hospital Is the
Bam Dukes wanted here.
The details of the trouble in whlc^
Dukes whs shot are not fully known,
but from telegrams received and long
distance phono messages, it seems
that he was shot in an encounter
with the Atlantic Coast Line night
watchman at Ashley Junction, soon
after he reached that place hist night.
After the shoot.ng he was taken on
to Charleston on the Atlantic Coast
Lin* train and placed in the Koper
Hospital. I>uk?*. it seems, from the
repor* Sfhsi I have reached here, tried
to hold up a sjSjSJfe at Ashley June
a. but the other negro proved to
be the night watchman and got the
first crack at him.
\ f in was sent here from W.
D Kershaw to Israel Conyers convey?
ing information of the fact that Dukes
hnd b? ? und was being taken to
the Roper Hospital. Another tele?
gram was also received by the baggage
maater t ? the name effect. Conyers
Is one of the negroes charged with
having aided I> ikes In his escape and

HIGHWAYMAN HOLDS VP NE?
GRO Wilt) sLl.W PINK WOOD
OFFICF.H.
News and Courier, Feb. 13.
Lying on a cot in the Roper Hos?
pital seriously shot in the back, Sam
Dukes, the negro who is wanted in
Pinewood for the murder of Chief of
Police Isadore Barwick there late
Monday afternoon, confessed to Chief
Cantwell last night that he fired the
shot that killed the Pinewood police?
man. Dukes had only a few minutes
before been sent to the Hospital by a
policeman at the Union Station, when
h? left a train with a pistol shot
wound in his back, which, he says, a
highwayman inflicted on him at Ash?
ley Junction. He is thought to be se
riously shot, and little hope is held
out for his life.
According to Dukes' statement to
Chief Cantwell he shot Policeman
Warwick, the Pinewood offlcci, at the
railway station there late Monday af?
ternoon, when, he says, the latter at?
tempted to kill him. The shooting of
I'.arwick caused a great deal of ex?
citement at the time, and bloodhounds
were sent to the little town to run the
muro down. The dogs found the trail
? >.' Dukes shortly after their arrival
on the scene of the ki?'ng and follow?
ed it to the house of Dukes' mother,
where they lost the scent. It WU
learned later that the negro took a
buggy and drove off towards the rail?
road.
Chief Cantwell learned last night
that Dukes boarded a train at Preg
nalls, and came on to Ashley Junction,
where he says he left the train to
board another that was expected a few
minutes later to go on to Beaufort.
However, while he was waiting at the
wayside station, he says, a tall, un?
known negro held him up at the point
of a pistol and took tho 38-calibre
revolver with which he says he killed
Policeman Harwick, and 60 cents. He
claims that after he was relieved of
these things the highwayman shot
him In the back and made his es?
cape.
Realizing that he was seriously
shot, Dukes boarded a train for
Charleston to come to the Hospital,
whither a policeman went him on his
arrival at the Union Station. That
he was Barwlck's tdayer, however,
was not discovered until It was learn?
ed that he had sent a telegram to his
mother at Pinewooa, requesting her
to come to his bedside as he was
badly wounded. Chief Cantwell im?
mediately got busy, and the negro
broke down and admitted the shott?
ing, which he claims was done In self
defence.
The story of his being held up at
the junction and his being shot b>
a highwayman is thought to be true,
for the wound in his back was still
fresh. On searching his clothing,
Chief Cantwell found $10 in the fob
pocket of his trousers. His condition
is considered very serious, and he is
being guarded at the Hospital by a
policeman.

INNOUXCE CABINET MARCH I.
Wilson Makes Statement Huu He
Wilt Give out no Names until lie
Semis Nominations to the Senat*-.
Princeton, N. J.. Feb. in.?Presi?
dent-elect Wilson announce d definite?
ly tonight that he would not make
public the names of his cabinet until
he sent them to the senate for con?
firmation March 4.
"it will be the good old-fashioned
method." he said, "and 1 shall not
make any announcements until the
name.-? of the cabinet members are
Bent to the senate."
Gov. Wilson's remarks were occa?
sioned by the publication of reports
from Washington that he would an?
nounce his cabinet tomorrow. He said
there was absolutely no truth or
authority for the reports.
Gov. Wilson, It is indicated will ask
the men to whom portfolios are of?
fered to regard the proffer as confi?
dential. He believes also ,it is said,
that he ought not to make any im?
portant announcement until he is ac?
tually president.
The premature announcement from
outside sources, however, it was ad
mited, may upset the governors
plans.
The president-elect was asked if his
policy of reserving announcement
meant he still was undecided as to
the personnel of the cabinet and ex
pected further suggestions.
"I certainly do intend to keep my
mind open," he said, "till the last
moment in a number of cases. I think
the field of possible choices is P?t full
as it can possibly be, but I TiUSt fay
that the number of men who have
entered themselves has not been
large."
The governor received in silence the
information that he had been officially
elected president of the United States
through the balloting in the house to?
day. He said he had been working
hard in his study all day examining
papers and documents which had been
accumulating ever since bis nomi?
nation. He got press reports of the
Mexican situation, but offered no com?
ment.
