It was reported here yesterday
that pOstOffice inspectors had sue

who were supposed to have been
implicated in the recent killing Of
Postmaster Baker at Lake City.
The report started from the fact
that Inspectors Moye and Bulla ar
rived in the city ON at, early morn
Ing train from Florence, and had
with them four men, whose names
were not known. They went with
the inspectors to the district attor-
ney's Office, where Mr.. LathrOp was
found, and private conference with
the men was held. The inspectors
left Florence at 3a- m. Yesterday.
District Attorney Lathrop and
Assistant District Attorney Hughes
were seen yesterday afternoon by a
Reporter for The News and Courier
but they politely declined to have
anything whatever to say. The
men brought to Charleston, it was
admitted, were not under arrest.
They were not lodged at the Police
Station or the county Jail last night
though they could not be located.
A telegram was sent The News

been made at that place. He an
