Lexington Man, Pardoned by Blease, Faces Assault and Battery Charge. Lexington, May 13.?Jacob B. Jeter, said to be the first man to be pardoned by Governor Blease when he was inducted into office is affain tVio the toils of the law ,having been lodged behind the bars of the Lexington jail yesterday afternoon, with the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill resting against him. On the 24th of February last, it is alleged that Jeter attempted to shoot Chief of Police P. L. Redmond, of Swansea; W. L. K. Johnson and H. K. Hooker, who went to arrest him for being drunk and disorderly and making an assault upon his wife, Maggie Jeter. Jeter fired at the chief twice with a rifle, and, having missed his aim, deliberately snapped the firearm at the men several times, but fortunately there were but two bullets in the gun. He still held them at bay, however, and it became necessary for the men to shoot Jeter in order to effect his arrest. He was shot in both legs, the wounds being so serious that he was carried to Knowltan's - Hxipital ,in -Columbia, for treatment. A warrant was immediately sworn out for his arrest and placed in the hands of Sheriff Miller for execution. The sheriff had been on the lookout for his man, and had planned to bring him to the Lexington jail as soon as the doctors would permit. Several days ago, however, it is said that Jeter asked to be permitted to take a little exercise on the streets, and being advised that his wounds were not sufficiently healed for him to take the risk, he slipped away end went to the depot, where he boarded a train for Sally. Upon reaching Sally he hired a horse and buggy and drove to the home of his brotherin-law, who lives within six miles of Neese's station in Orangeburg county. Upon learning that Jeter had escaped from the penitentiary, Sheriff Miller immediately laid plans to effect his capture, and on Saturday night the officer went to Swansea, secured an automobile and drove to the home of Jeter's brother-in-law. Having been warned of the threats that Jeter is alleged to have made, to the effect that he would shoot the first man who attempted to arrest him, the sheriff left the automobile when within a half mile of the house and took to the woods afoot. After taking a careful view of the situation, Sheriff Miller went direct to the house, and was in the room where Jeter was with his wife, and made the arrest before the man had time to { make good his threat, if, indeed, he had made the thr<*ats. Jeter was brought to jail in an automobile. His left foot is in a dan- 1 gerous condition, according to the statenjent of Dr. E. P. Derrick, county physician, who was called in to see him. The wound was caused by several buckshot and the foot is swollen rnnsidernhl v This is not the first time Jeter has beon in trouble since he received his pardon from Governor Blease. Several months a^o he was arrested at the instigation of his mother and sister, who reside at Swansea. It was alleKed that Jeter had entered the home of his relatives and had taken a number of articles of clothing and other valuables. The articles were found in different places in Columbia ^ by P. H. Corly, who was then sheriff of the county, and returned. At that time Jeter, in order to keep from being: tried upon the charge, agreed never to go to the home of his mother again, an agreement to this effect having been drawn up by Frank W. Shealy, clerk of the Circuit Court, and isgned by Jeter. A few months later Jeter married a DAYS lase yon No ^ lie 's Shirts 19c 2 Ball! lit and bring ind we will e o! a $1.00 Miss Redmond, the ceremony being performed in the court house here by N. P.

It is said that he has since treated his wife badly while under the influence of whiskey, and it was for this offence that efforts were being made to arrest him when he shot at the chief of police at Swansea. wvvi.

SOLICITOR OTTS ANSWERS CHARGES MADE BY GOVERNOR To the Editor of the Journal: In the report of the speech delivered by Governor Bleasc at Arkwright last Saturday night he is quoted as saying: "He said Solicitor Otts was criticising him for turning criminals loose, yet he declared, Mr. Otts had on a number of occasions petitioned him to grant nardons to norconc 4-v.o ct x ? -w r??w..u ?v?avaa* vnv solicitor desired to use as witnesses in court." / I do not like to appear in print to correct publications or speakers, and especially a candidate who is running for an office other than that of solicitor, but it seems for one not to notice such things is to construe his silence to be an admission of guilt; otherwise I would ignore this gratuitous attack on me. I do not believe that the people of this circuit will allow even his excellency to dictate to them whom they shall vote for for solicitor. I shall ask election at the hands of the people upon my work as solicitor. My work speaks for itself and does not need to be bolstered up by attacking any candidate, or by swinging on the political coat tail of any candidate for governor. On July 20, 1911, I asked for a J O- II? " ... paiuua lur oaiuc nammett, who had been convicted of pettit larceny by the mapor's court in 1906, and on December 28, 1911, I asked for a pardon for Frank Finch, who had been convicted of pettit larceny before Magistrate Berry. Both of these negroes had served their sentences, but on account of their conviction for larceny they could not testify in court until pardoned. I needed Sallie Hammett in a murder case, and the prisoner is now serving a life term; 1 needed Frank Finch as a witness in a forgery case, and the prisoner is now serving a term for forgery. Governor Blease knew all the facts, for I explained them in my letters to him, which he printed in his campaign document, "Statement of Pardons and Commutations for the Year 1911.'' See pages 19 and 26. I asked these two pardons to vindicate the laws of my state, and I leave it tr? c.nvarr*** Blease's friends if I erred. Very respectfully, J. C.
