Ingram has been held on bonds of $10,000 to answer to the Grand Jury for shooting to death Burch Kirkley at Cheraw, September 20th. Judge Edward Mclver, upon hearing the case presented by the state and by the defense, announced that he would fix bail for T. L. Ingram at $10,000. E. G. Ingram was then under $1,000 bond. The hearing took place in Cheraw last Friday afternoon. Affidavits were read by Attorney Pollock, of counsel for the defense, giving thi Ingram brothers' own version of the tragedy and what led up to it. The affidavit of T. L. Ingram was to the effect that he was not present when the difficulty between E. G. Ingram and Burch Kirkley began; that his attention was attracted by hearing two pistol shots; that he went to where E. G. Ingram and Burch )\ Kirkley were solely lor the purpose of preventing further trouble and that he was totally unarmed. When he reached E. G. Ingram and Burch Kirkley he took the pistol from E. G. Ingram and acted only in the inter-'1 est of peace. Thereafter, he and his brother, E. G. Ingram, got into his brother's automobile and attempted J + exas Red Rust Proof Seed Oat Abruzzi Seed Rye .

Me DAY, OCrl Ik' Ky . A so dens as to make this impossible and that for this reason E. G. Ingram, who was driving, stopped the car and ihey both got out, one on one side and the other on the other. He saw j.lurch Kirkley rush forward and strike E. G. Ingram and continue to strike him and beat him. He saw that E. G. Ingram was giving way and that blood was pouring from him and he thought that if he did not interfere promptly that his brother, E. 1. Ingram, would be killed or suffer serious physical injury and,in order to save his brother he went to his rescue and fired one shot at Kirkley in defense of his brother with the pistol ht had previously taken from E. G. Ingram. He states, in the affidavit that he knew that E. G. Ingram was unarmed; that he saw several brothers of Burch Kirkley present in the crowd while Kirkley was overpowering and beating E. G. Ingrain and it appeared to him that it was necessary to shoot to prevent the death or serious injury of E. G. Ingram. He deposed that he acted quickly, without any malice and for the sole purpose of protecting and defending his brother and that as soon as the danger to E. G. Ingrain ceased, he did nothing further and as soon as Burch Kirkley died he surrendered to the Sheriff of the County. The affidavit further stated that T. L. Ingram took no part in the original difficulty between E. G. Ingram and Burch Kirkley except to act as peace-maker; and that he took no pnrt in the second until it appeared absolutely necessary for the protection of the life and ~e i 41 i? / ' T oaicvjr \j I ms UIUIIIL'I , JL'j . \J.

He states that Burch Kirklej was a vey large* and powerful man weighing probably between 225 an<3 240 pounds while he weighs but 150 that had no one inteferred to stop Kirkley from beating him, he would have been severely injured if not killed. He did not see who shot Kirkley. When Kirkley attacked him he was totally unarmed and did not expecl any further trouble. Attorney McColl for the state introduced sworn statements from a number of witnesses. Judge Mclver stated that he was not supposed to try the case, but only to fix bail, providing he thought it a bailable case. After fixing bail at $10,000 acceptable bondsmen were secured and T. L. Ingram was released. H:s bond was signed by the following gentlemen, all of Chesterfield: W. H. Porter, R. E. Rivers, J. C. Rivers, B. C. Moore and James Ross. E. G. Ingram was released from custody late last Wednesday on $1,000 bonds. WORDS OF PRAISE FOR JEFF HANNA.
