ODER OF DEED UNKNOWN
SUPPOSED TO BE A SOLDIER
SEEN WITH a CHILD.
WHO, THE MAN CLAIMED, LOST HIS WAY
A More Fiendsh Crime had Preceded the
Murder Three Children Roasted Alive in
a Burning House in Florida
by Tramts.

Columbia. $. c., Nov. ia special

weaver Smith, Il little white boy
heggar, was most foully murdered Thurs
day night in the heart of town and the
mutilated body was not found until
nearly twcnty-four hours later. y moro
horrible crime than murder had pre-
coded the butchery of the boy and the
fiend incarnate who did the deed is un
known. \ long cash in the boys stom'
ach caused his death and the emtrails
were protruding from the body.
"Weaver Smith was about eight years
old and was notorious beggar around
town. having a skilfully worded story
of distress. When last seen by citizens
he was at j. w. Riser's, sexton of
Springwood Cemetery. Main street. by
whom he was given some food about
o'clock Wednesday night. From there
he went towards the First brigade camp
on the same street. He secured some
money and food there and visited the
Fourth New Jersey regiment last.
Late yesterday dIlclhooh " H'@AN
woman discovered the boy lying among
weeds on Elford street, which is n side
street. one block north of the Confed-
crate monument. The boy was lying
on the south sidewalk. which is rarely
used. When discovered he lay on his
face. and. on being turned over, the cut
in the stomach was revealed. The ply
stefan found unmistakable evidence of
a more fiendiSh crime committed before
death. and the boy was doubtless killed
to prevent its discovery.
1.-TWO New York soldiers coming from
camp to town Thursday night heard
cries on Elford street and approaching
found another soldier. unknown to them.

lost his way The unknown soldier 5
command is not known, and the New
York soldiers left him standing near the
child. 1t is believed the boy was Weav-
or Smith and the soldier his assailant
and murderer The crime has aroused
fine greatest indignation among citizens
and soldiers. and if the guilty man is
caught and proves TO be a soldier, his
comrades will endeavor to make short
work of him."

Witnesses who Failed to
Appear.

New York. Nov. 19.-The war invcsti-
eating commission resumed its sessions
here this morning. The first witness
was Mrs. Edwin c. .Alis, of New York
who went to Camp Wikoff to help nurse
the sick She complained that hospitals
were overcrowded; that in one of them
the food was poor and badly cooked;
that the sanitary conditions were bad
and that as a consequence the sick and
well suffered from plague OF flies. Also
that the hospital nurses and orderlies
were careless i'll attending to the com
plants of the sick. She could not re-
member names, but she said she heard
one doctor diagnose soldiers trouble
rs simple intoxication." and the soldier
died of typhoid fever two days later.
Summing up her conclusions, Mrs.
Alis thought there were not enough at
tendants in the hospital, and that no
care was taken to separate the dying,
the delirous and the convalescent pa
tients.
Miss Margaret Garrard. CT Morr stown,
n j.. volunteer worker among the
sick at Camp Wikoff testified that SHE
found many evidences of neglect at he
camp. Men too weak to help themselves
were found lying unconscious on the
streets of Long Island City and in every
instance where she made inquiry she
learned that there were neither doctors
nor nurses on the trains of the GONZALES
cents.

intentions were all right, bur they did

surveys of the United States are by Jaw en-
trusted to the coast and geodetic survey
and ii was very important that a repre-
sentative of the survey should be present
at the conference mentioned above. In con-
sideration of the important questions to be
discussed the Secretary of the Treasury
designated a member of the scientific staff
of the survey to be present, and Mr.. Schott
was named for this purpose.
The questions submitted for deliberation
before this body concerned the preparation
OF plan for systematic magnetic survey
of the entire globe, and the deliberations
of the convention resulted in "A general
recommendation for that purpose.
The principal work of the conference
however centered in the wider questions
involving magnetic observations. their pres
