COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 7.-Wade Haynes,

fenced to be hanged on Dec. 16. His crime
Was the murder of Miss Florence Hornsby,
rural belle who lived in the Killions
section of this county.
Haynes first tried to assault Miss Hornsby
and failing IN his purpose he cut her throat
to prevent her informing on him. The
country people were terribly iucensed and
we're preparing to lynch Haynes when the
coroner and several deputies arrived on the
scene and promised them that justice would
be done.
The first trial was mistrial. The country
people came in town and were preparing to
storm the jail, when the sheriff got wind of
It and removed Haynes to the penitentiary
where he has been ever since.
Haynes was convicted on the second trial,
bu' an appeal was made. The supreme
