The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1893-02-22
When asked about the paying of the
fines the Governor said: "I'll see the
sheriffs out oft. Why the IL per cent.
penalty will pay the fines"
A SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT.

A SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT.
Gov. Tillman in concluding his inter
view, made the following statement
which shows he has not much faith il
the United States Supreme Court.
"If we lose the case in the Supreme
Court the only remedy for such ar
outrageous condition of affairs will b.
an appeal to Congress for legislation
After the Supreme Court has spoken
will consider if anything else is neces
sary or possible"
BACK TO CHARLESTON.
Attorney-General Townsend, upon
the receipt of the news of the decision
although he had just arrived from ths
seat of war, pulled himself together
again, and on the afternoon train he
went back to Charleston. He said he
could not tell when be would return
That he might 60 on to Washington
before returning here. He went tt
take the first steps in the habeas corpus
proceedings. He, however, did not
leave with the brightest hopes.
It is said by lawyers to be doubtful
whether, after Judge Gof7s investiga,
tions, the United States Supreme Court
will consider the matter at all when il
is brought before it. 1t may be shown
that the contempt was committed, and
some say that that will settle the mat
ter, the Court merely referring the con-
tempt back to the lower Court for set
tlement, thus refusing to take any
part.
MR. JONES CONES UP.
Hon. Ira B. Jones, one of the States
counsel, came up to Columbia last
night. Although Governor Tillman
was up late, and no doubt expected to
see him, he fastened directly from the
train to the Hotel Jerome and went to
bed.
RELEASING THE PROPERTY.
Last night Chief Deputy United
States Marshal Hendricks, came up on
the regular train from Charleston, and
there was special train waiting here
to take him over the r. & D. lines. He
goes to release the locked up trains. In
the care with him were crews for these
trains.
His coming was a surprise, and it
was soon ascertained that the sheriffs
had caved somewhat. It seems that
the sherifs, at meeting in Charleston
decided to release the property. Here
is the order from
SHERIFF RISER
for the release of the property in New.
berry:
NJ. B. Chalmers, Newberry, S. C.
You are hereby instructed to release
the property levied in the tax cases at
Newberry and turn the same over to
the custody of the United States Deputy
Marshal. W. W. RISER, S. n. Co.
SHERIFF NANCE's DANCE.
And here's the order from Sheriff
Nance:
I hereby release engine, No. 1858, and
return the same in the hands of the
United States Marshal.
F. w. R. NANCE, S. A. G.
AN IRoNCLAD ORDER.
The marshal is armed with peremp,
tory order for the release of the prop
erty, which is corker. The order is
addressed to the several sheriffs and
reads as follows:
"That an Injunction do issue to sher'
riff, hisdeputies and constables restrain
ing and enjoining him and them from
further intermeddling, interfering with
him in keeping and holding the per
sonal property distrained upon by him
belonging to the petitioners as receivers
of the Richmond and Danville Com
pany, or in their care and custody a:
receivers, and common carriers, anG
that this injunction remain in force
until further orders from this court. Il
is further ordered that the said prop
erty be restored to the custody of the
receivers of this court, and that the
marshal put them in possession there
Of"
HAS JONES GIVEN UP?
Marshal Hendricks says that the
prisoners are at the Charleston Hote
in care Of narshals. In the afternoon
the sheriffs consulted with their coun
sci, Mr., Ira B. Jones, and he advised
them to surrender the property an6
pay the fines. Mr.. Hendricks say:
Speaker Jones has given up the fight
but the trouble for the sheriffs has NO
yet begun, for the railroads will sue
them for damages at the rate of 500 {
day for every since their property wa
locked up. Then there will be plenty
of other damage suits.
If the statement that Speaker Jone!
has advise the sherifts to pay the fine:
is no mistake, it indeed puts the Gov
ernor in a hole, for the whole thing
will have to be gone over again ant
Sheriff QUITS Of Edgefeld will have tt
volunteer his services and levy OF
something. If the sherifs do not g
to Jail they will have to pay their owr
fines.
