WHIPPERS NOW ARE WAITING.
THEIR CASE GIVEN TO THE JURY
AFTER FIERY ARGUMENTS.

Col. AIdrich, for the Defense, Re
marks That Rosa Kearse Had Not
Been whipped Enough-The Press
ArrnIgned for DenOuncing the
Outrage - Lawyer Padgett De-
nounces witnesses Warn and New
bold in Bitter Terms.
WATERFORD, S. C. Feb. 24.-It was 7:3O
O'Clock tonight before the case Of the
Barnwell men charged with lynching Han
nah Walker. a negro, went TO the jury.
The greatest interest was manifested
during the delivery Of the arguments. Col.
Aldrich opened for the defense. His ar
gument was an attempt to discredit the
testimony of the negroes and one Of his
expressions was that from Rosa Kearse's
demeanor on the stand, it was evident she
had not been whipped enough. The case,
he said. would under ordinary circum-
stances have been disposed of in one
day. but the press from morbid sentiment
tally had exaggerated the crime and
scattered it over the four corners of the
globe; for some reason every engine of the
law had been shotted to the muzzle and
aimed at the defendants. He plead the
right of the jury to sift the evidence and
ants were innocent in the eyes of the law.
J. s. Padgett followed Col Aldrich. He
spoke aggressively and earnestly. In open
ing he said the press had already tried.
convicted and executed the accused. The
press, he said, was, as usual, mistaken
Mr.. Padgett, in going over the evidence,
characterized Warm as Judas Iscariot
Detective Newbold he called a black
hearted cur" and ''an imported scOundrel
from Texas saying that no evidence in
which NeWbold could be traced should be
considered. Mr.. Padgett also slurred DR..
Bellinger's testimony, calling him an old
grandpa and a 'lukeWarm.
In the afternoon. Maj. NJ. P. Howell
made an eloquent plea for the prisoners,
referring to their aged mothers and IA
theirs and their other lady relatives, who
were in the court.
Solicitor Bellinger probably made the
strongest argument for conviction ever
made by a solicitor. He described the
crime as the blacklist in the annals of
the state The defendants had remained
in jail for months simply because they
refused to sign an affidavit saying they
were innocent of the crime. When he
dwelt upon the shocking whipping of the
naked mother before her naked son, the
ladies', relatives of the defendants, who
were banked about the dock, some of
them aged mothers and other pretty girls,
wept. He urged the jury, for the sake of
justice and the reputation of the state.
TO use the grandest rights of manhood
moral heroism, and their duty.
The jury went out at 1885 o'clock. A YER
dict Is not expected tonight.
As the jury went out Col Aldrich, adj
dressing the court, asked that day be
set for the trial of the defendants for the
murder of Isham Kearse. They had their
witnesses here, and it would save great
expense to bring their clients to trial now.
1t was the right of the accused to demand
a speedy trial.
The solicitor said he objected to the day
for trial being set. II the prisoners are
acquitted he will apply for change Of
venue.
