SAYS 1T WAS ALL WRONG.
Editor Hemphill Thinks Reese and Luck
I. Should Have Been Acquitted.

Editor Hemphill Thinks Reese and Luckit
Should Have Been Acquitted.
Some newspapers have had good
deal to say about the trial of Reese
Luckie and Mrs. Anderson, which
came eff recently in Yorkville. These
parties were charged with the murder
Of Charles T. Williams, at Blacksburg,
last February. Mrs. Anderson was
acquitted and Reese and Luckie were
found guilty with recommendation
to mercy. A motion for a new trial
was made, but the judge refused to
grant it, and these parties were SEN
fenced to the peLitentiary for life. An
appeal has been taken to the supreme
court.
The newspapers speak of the result
of the trial as great triumph for JUS
tice. We are some distance from the
scene of the tragedy and know moth
ing of the parties; but from what we
have read we are of opinion that this
conviction was secured more on ac-
count of prejudice than because there
was any evidence against these men.
The evidence was entirely circum.
stantial and the circumstances were
not such as to preclude the probabili-
ty that other parties committed the
homicide. There were many chances
for other men to have shot down Will
liams, and the verdict with a recomen-
dution to mercy showed that the jury
itself was not exactly satisfied as to
the guilt of the parties. If the jury
really thought Reese and Luckie were
guilty why did they recommend them
to mercy.
There was too much detective work
about the case, and the conduct of the
audience during the trial showed that
there was a thirst for the blood OF
these men. Solicitor Henry's argu-
ment that Reese and Luckie should be
hung because white men have been
acquitted by other juries in this state
should not have been permitted by
Judge Watts. 1t was not legitimate,
for these acquittals had nothing what
ever to do with this specific charge
against Reese and Luckie. Solicitor
Henry was wrong in his facts because
a white man was hung in Abbeville
and one in Winnsboro, but these hang
ings were before Williams was killed
and did not have one thing to do with
the case.
The worst character in the whole
connection was Anderson, the man
who came all the way from Arizona
to do what he could to hang his
former wife.
When Williams came to Blacksburg
last February, he took his life in his
own hands and his friends should not
be surprised at his fate. He took his
chances and bis killing was not like
the Staying of quiet, orderly citizen
who observed the laws of the land
and of society. Williams was on a
bad mission and there was no occasion
for any outcry about the ineficiency
of our laws to punish crime when he
was found dead in the streets OF
Blacksburg last February.-Abbeville

AN OLD PACK OF CARDs.-"When
in New Jersey recently" said the pas
tor of one of the Washington churches,
II was shown what is supposed to be
the oldest full pack of playing cards
in existence. They were printed in
1642 and have 50 cards in the pack,
the same as the ordinary playing cards.
The gentleman who has them prides
himself on his collection Of Bibles and
playing cards. He has a dozen or
more very rare Bibles, one of which is
valued at several thousand dollars.
The playing cards referred to were
never used, and, though over $50 years
old, there are practically new. l did
not know it until he told me, but there
were playing cards in use over $50
years before that pack was printed.
He has packs of cards which were in
use 400 years ago; that is, pictured
cards, for originally the packs did not
contained over 40 cards.
"The jacks, queens and kings have
the same general look as the cards OF
the ordinary steamboats, of the present
day. Though the Bibles pleased me
most, I was much interested in the
cards"

WILD DOG HUNT.
Desperate Fight of Hoosier Nimrod,

Desperate Fight of Hoosier Nimrods.
A large drove of wild dogs, even
more ferocious than hungry timber
wolves, has been discovered near the
village of Morristown, few miles from
Shelbyville, Ind, and the people in that
vicinity are greatly frightened as a
result. A few days ago a hunting
party, consisting of John w. Sullivan
and his son Charles, Andrew Lamar
and Matt Sullivan of Shelbyville, for a
few days sport, went to Hamilton
woods, a gloomy forest which has
been avoided by human beings for
many years past, on account of the
belief that it is haunted.
Hamilton woods is dark and forbid
ding, so thickly grows the trees there,
and the heavy underbrush covering
the ground, made the travelling any
thing but easy. Evidences that ami
mails of some sort frequented the place
were soon found, and now and then
the hunters came upon the bleaching
bones of various sorts of domestic ami
mails. When the party almost stum-
bled over the body of freshly killed
calf, with its throat mangled in a

ton, " he stumbled on, and extended to
her the hand which he had withheld
from Ellis. "Oh, pardon me! Did Far
rar give you note intrusted to him
for your"
mot yot, Mr.. Ormsby. He has hard
ly thought Of anything but his grief at
being retained here"
"Well, ask him for it before 10
O'Clock It''-and he was halting pain
fully now, for Ellis withdrawing q
pace from the group, was gazing straight
into his face-''it-it explains itself.
You'll understand it. Good night; good
night, all. I must hurry" And with
that he ran down the steps and out of
the gate, mounted quickly, and without
a backward glance rode quickly away
to take his place by the colonel's side
Another moment and the adjutant, gal
loping out in front Of the long line Of
horses, had presented the squadron to
Major Wayne, and that distinguished
officer, Unexpectedly awake and lively,
lost no time in p1eliminaries, but broke
his command at once into column Of
fours, and with the band playing its
joyous march music, and with old Fen
ton himself in the lead, away they went
down the winding road to the fats to
the east.
Once out Of the garrison the band
wheeled out Of column and played the
troopers by, then trotted back to unsad-
die for the. night Men, women and
children, the populace of Fort Frayne,
gathered along the eastern edge Of the
plateau and silently, and in not few
cases tearfully, watched the column out
Of sight in the dim, ghostly light, and
then little Trumpeter Meinecke came
out from the guardhouse and trilled the
martial curfew that cent them shiver-
ing homeward-an ominous Christmas
eve tattoo.
