Released from Jail.
B. Cash Pawley, the South Carolinian
from Florence, who has been confined for
nearly week in Jail here, was released last
night on an order from Justice Naughtin's
court, with the consent of Solicitor General
duBignon.
Pawley was arrested last week by officer
Basch on a telegram from a detective
agency in Charleston, and later Officer
Blount and Sheriff Cole telegraphed Basch
to hold the prisoner, on indictments for EN-
bezzlement, for a requisition. No officers
came, so Pawley employed counsel to take
steps to have him released from
jail. He had volunteered to go back
TO Florence, s. c., without requisition, but
as the officers there telegraphed to hold
him, and Officer Basch was not sure that
he would get his expenses paid if he took
Pawley out of the state, he held him. 1t
was the intention of Mr.. w. 4. Morrison,
who was Pawley's attorney, to begin pro-
ceedings for his release this morning, but
the following telegram received at o'clock
last night precipitated events and Pawley
was released:
COLUMBIA S. c., June e. 1893
Hon. r. E. Lester, Mayor, CITY Of Savannah:
Please inform p. H. Waring. or sheriff. that
Ihave declined to send requisition for Pawley.
j. T.. RICHARDSON,
Governor South Carolina
Warning is the friend who was with Pawley
at the time of the latter's arrest, and who
left ostensibly for Florence to try and ad-
Just matters and secure Pawley's release
Since that time Warning has not been heard
from, and Pawley thinks he deserted him
In his trouble.

and demanded the release of the prisoner.
He then submitted the telegram TO Solicitor
General duBignon. On his return Basch
who had subsequently got Justice Naughtin
TO write out a release, called upon Solicitor
General duBignon and showed him the fol-
lowing telegram received yesterday morn

DARLINGTON, s. c.. June "a, 1888.

Hold b. Cash Pawley. Coming with requisi

1t was thought to be an unusual thing for
a governor to send such a Telegram, and
especially when on the same day the sheriff
had telegraphed to hold the prisoner, as the
sheriff was coming with requisition, but
as the telegram purporting to be from the
governor Of South Carolina was the latest
the solicitor general could not counsel the
further detention Of the prisoner.
1t is claimed that all there is in the case is
that Pawey made purchases upon which he
had made partial payments, and his credit
o~s finding that he had left the state, took
the steps which led to his arrest to compel
settlement. Whether they succeeded or
not has not been learned Pawley is quoted
as saying that as soon as he was released he
could put his hand on $3.50, and his attorney
was promised a handsome fee if he would
get him released to-day, but his lawyer did
even better-he saved him the annoyance
of another night in Jail
Pawley's counsel, Officer Basch, and a
MORNING News reporter went to the Jail
together last night. Mr.. Morrison showed
Deputy Jailer Kinchley the telegram from
the governor of South Carolina, and Officer
Basch handed Mr. Kinchley the order for
Pawley's release. Mr. Kinchley adjusted
his spectacles and after reading the note
called TO the guard, "tell the South Caro-
hnian to come down aud bring his things
with him" Pawley did not talk much, but
before leaving he shook the hand Of the
night Waterman in the Jail office. He
stopped moment at the gate of the Jail
Enclosure to inform a MORNING NEWS re-
porter that 1t was a case Of persecution. He
said that he is going back 20 Florence
