KILLING OF. T. G. LAMAR.

The following is the testimony
taken before the coroner's jury in
the. matter Of the death of 7. G. La
mar, of which We had an account
last week:
DR.. J. F. Wyman: I was at my
dwelling house in Aiken, S. g.,
and heard four or five shots, and
lstarted toward place of shooting
and was met by,a man who said
Tom Lamar Was. shot. and come at
|;once. Iran there and found Mr.,
MI. Lamar lying in street. He
gasped twice after I ,got there, and
died. Post morten: The wound,
in leftsside just under left arm,
supposed to be q pistol bullet,
wound, WAS in my opinion
sufficient to produce death al
though there were some gashes on
scalp back Of head that might
have caused death, from club
that struck there, which might
possibly cause death from con-
pussion of the base of the brain.

Tho Cruelty OF War.

An Incident related in the biography
of Sir Provo Wallis, admiral of the Brit
ish fleet, brings home to the reader the
cruel nature of war. It occurred dur
ing the war of 1912. An American cap
tain had taken a fine ship to Lisbon,
where she had sold her cargo for the
use of the British army under Yelling
ton, and received several thousands OF
dollars in return, which were on board.
Meantime war had been declared, and
on her homeward voyage she fell vic.
tim to the British squadron. Ono of the
principal objects of her captors was to
obtain information. The American cap
tain was sent on board the Shannon
which afterward captured the famous
Chesapeake-but was kept in ignorance
of the war and Of the fact that he was
prisoner.
He answered unreservedly all the ques-
tions put to him, and Captain Broke,
who greatly disliked the deception he
had been obliged to practice, now felt 1t
difficult to make the prisoner acquainted
with the next step which must be taken.
At length he forced himself to say:
Captain, I must burn your ship"
The American, overcome by surprise,
faltered, "Burn herr
"Indeed must.
"Burn her for WHAT VIII not money
save herr She is all my own-and all
the property have in the world. Is 1t

eyes," said Broke, -,
Both parties were painfully moved,
and the scene did not end without tear
from each, but duty was duty and the
prize was destroyed. -;YouthIs. Com

The Story Of maud"


Few people knew Tennyson and his
peculiarities betttf than did his neigh
Dor Mrs. Cameron, the well known pho
tographic artist, who made a fine series
of character portraits by photography
to illustrate Tennyson's poems. The
history of her search for and. selection
of models for these characters Is inter-
esting. Maud was a starving Irish girl,
who served her both as model and wait
ing maid.
The sequel to the story Of Mrs. Cam
eron's Maudis too pretty not to be given.
When Mrs. Cameron held her exhibi-
ton in London, Maud was sent up with
a chaperon to explain the pictures to the
public. A gentleman came in one day,
and after having asked several ques-
tions left. 4 year or two afterward ne
passed into the Indian civil service, but
before starting for the east he went
down to Freshwater and knocked at
Mrs. Cameron's door, begging for Maud's
hand. The beautiful Maud was willing,
and they were married.-New York

VERDICT OF JURY.

We, the jury, find that the
deceased, T. G. Lamar, came to his
death by wounds in the head from
a stick in the hands of Chief of
Police CASTOR and from a pistol
shot in the left side, fred by
Mayor R. A. Chafee: -ss-'"-''"''a-+'-'' +'-''
On ~Tdssday morning the fol-
lowing additional testimony was
taken by the Coroner.
John Blaylock, sworn, says: I
was standing at my door there
when Lamar drove up in front; he
asked a boy to hold his horse, and
he got out and come and spoke to
me and shook my hand; he says
to me: "I owe you a little ac-
count, and I have come here to-
night to settle it," he says:
"Come in and let mo have a drink;
says: ~ have a little business
with D. S. Henderson; l will get
some money from him; I owe one
or two other little debts that 1
want to pay up, as I am going to
leave Aiken" I went behind. the
the counter and waited on him
gave him a bottle of whisky and
soda and he poured out his drink,
and was drinking when .Chafee
and CASTOR stepped up to him at
the counter,and Chafee said to him:
81 will have to arrest you and lock
you up" Before speaking to Lamar
however, Chafee told me I had
no right to sell Lamar drink,
and told me not to sell any more /;
Lamar's answer to Chafee was !:
81 have not done anything to be
arrested for; I simply came here
on business with D. S. Henderson
l am going to get some money,pay
up my debts,and leave town." Cha
fee replied: II am going to lock you
up" He says: "No; 1 want to
see Henderson, and 1 promise you
I will leave town." Chafee: says:
"No; am going to lock you up"
Lamar says; ~ have not done any
thing and lam not going to be
locked. They then backed against
the wall, and Chafee ran his han d
behind Lamar to see if he had a
pistol about him. They started
out the door, and in minute or
two after they cleared the door in th
dark I heard 8 pistol shoot. At that
time went to the door and
aroul.d the corner, and I saw the
flash of another pistol, ] jumped
back, as / didn't want to get hit.
After first shot Chafee came in and
passed me and went back as far as
