count for 1856 by ten day draft
which was paid.
Hammond's $500 and Fowler's
$500 were deposited on the same
day-$612 of this was credited TO
the two accounts at the penitentia-
ry and $3.50 to Col. Meals per
sonal account.
At the afternoon session Col.
Neal said that when he left An
derson he owed Watson S6,OOOon
lnstallments and tried to paw it
back. Ragsdale, the farm fore.
man, became dissatisfied, and the
contract by which he again assum-
ed charge of the farm was to paci.
fly Ragsdale. He, Neal, said that
be owed the penitentiary for the
three years convict laoor. He
said that he had made Watson
payments of about Sc, 900 on the
$14, 600 debt and that the ONLY
reason he had not paid anything
on the convict account was that
the farm had not made it, but that
he was still liable to Watson for
the convict hire, and Watson to
the State under his contract.
The Ragsdals's whose notes
were discounted with his endorse
ment as superintendent, to pay
the accounts on the penltsntiary
books had no responsibility. The
81, 400 receipt, he said, was for
money he had paid out in Ander>
son for farm expenses and he
mildly intlmated that he did not
know how it was signed w A Neal,
superintendent, but he did not de-
ny 1t.
beIore taxing recess the one
other item touched upon was the
Fowler draft for $500 which was
paid in 1895. He said that he
had received this money and had
placed it to his personal account
and used it for expenses. He had
periodical settlements with the
penitentiary as to these items of
expense, travelling and otherwise,
but that he had had no settlement
since this payment was made,
therefore there was no record or
credit of this on the penitentiary
books.
The investigation will be resu-
med tomorrow and it is likely that
recess will be taken so that An
investigation can be made on pri.
vate lines.

MR.. BARNWELL GOES BACK
UPON THE STAND.
Refutes Statements of M'Fall-
The Progress of the Pincknev.
Inquest in Charleston.
Special to The State.

Charleston, March S.-The
Jurors sitting on the Pincknev in
quest visited the now celebrated
scene of the homicide on Pitt
street this morning to Judge for
themselves concerning tho loca-
tions of various witnesses of and
actors in the tragedy, and of the
practicalities and possibilities of
certain points in the evidence
which has been brought out. Onlv
few witnesses remain to be ex.
amined this afternoon and the
case will go to the jury for the
verdict, which doubtless will he
reached before many hours. There
Is considerable curiosity INDUCED
IN concerning the exact form and
words the verdict will be ex.
pressed in, but there is No. doubt
that the jury will declare the per.
sons who did the deed unknown to
them.
McFalPs statement of Saturday
afternoon, which created SO much
sensation Sunday and was con-
tradicted by 50 many witnesses
during Mondays examination,
again developed numerous blow
holes asst evening, when Mr..
Arthur Barnwell, Jr., was put on
the stand, by his own request, for
the second time. Mr.. Barnwell
took the stand to refute a number
OF McFall's statements that re
lated to himself. Witness said
that he never heard AcFall say a
word until he (witness) asked him
who he was, and that McFall had
then said that he was a personal
friend of Mr.. Pinckney. Mr..
Barr we'll denounced as absolute
ly false NcFall's statement that
he (BarnwelD had uttered the ex.
clamatlon: "He shot hell out Of
him He shot hell out of him =,
The witness denied asking McFall
If he could "ride bicycle, etc. :,
As he did not havea bicycle, never
rode one and did not have any
clips on as stated by McFall. Mr..
Barnwell admitted giving McFall
55 cents and telling him that "Mr.
Pinckney would reward him for
his kindness when he got we'll"
but said it was absolutely false
that he pointed his finger at Nc
Fall aud told him to Remember,
Mr.. Pinckney says two negroe 3
shot him." Mr.. Barnwell further
denounced several other state
ments of McFall concerning his
actions and words on the occasion
as absolutely false and it is cer>
tain that McFall, in his testimony,
got badly mixed up In confound-
ing Mr.. Barnwell with Mr.. Bardin
on several occasions.

Times certainly have changed.
But few short years ago anyone
who would have seggested ban
quet to Senator Tillman would
have been considered fit subject
for the lunatic asylum. But yes
tsrday he was received most
cordially and was cheered as if he
had been the idol of the people of
Columbia. Such an event proved
beyond peradventure that peace
and unity does reign among the
people of Columbia.
The entertainment of the sena-
tor and his party was a spontane-
Gus evidence of appreciation on
the part of the business men of
Columbia Over two hundred
and fifty men subscribed toward
paying expenses and yesterday
afternoon those who had held
aloof applied for tickets and over
one hundred additional had to be
printed.

The reception was appointed

hour a great crowd assembled at
the hotel and called for speeches.
There were loud calls for Tillman.
He responded, but excused him =
self from making a speech on the
ground of illness. Congressman
j. Hamilton Lewis, Cowherd and
Connolly made short speeches.
The latter had been to Columbia
before, that he was with Sher-
mans army, hut he said that the
hospitality of the people now was
much more agreeable new than
then.
Congressman Wilson made a
stirring speech. He spoke glow
lngly of Columbia's future and
referred TO the fact that sectional
strife was now at an end.
There we're again calls for Sen
ator Tillman, who responded.

showed numerous errors in the
penitentiary book keeping, but ne
said that he thought If thouss err
rors had not been made the books
would have shown no discrepan.
cles. He said that be did not be-
lleve the errors were made with
criminal intent.
Mr.. Cunningham gave some
damaging testimony against Neal.
He said that j. Q. Hammond,
Cooley and Fowler and j. Fret
we'll appeared on the books as
owing sums of about 800 but
that they claimed to have paid
Col. Neal.
Mr.. Fowler was a witness and
produced draft drawn on him bv
Neal for $500 which had been
paid.
j. B. Watson, of Anderson,
gave check for g, 600 to pay
note, but the check WAS held up
by Watson, though the note was
taken up by the check.
w. w. Russell, brother in law
of Neal, owes $500. The board
knew nothing about these notes
until recently. There is no
record of them in the peniten-
tiary.
DAMAGING FACTS BROUGHT OUT
THURSDAY-NEAL EXPLAINS.
Columbia, S. c., March g.
The penitentiary investigation to-
day developed material evidence.
j. b. K. Watson swore that on
March 2, 1896, he signed con-
tract with the penltentiary for
thirty convlcts. On the same day
he contracted with w. A Neal for
the restoration of his plantation
to Neal for fourteen thousand
dollars, to be paid for in two
thousand dollars installments,
with interest.
Neal and Watson had a private
contract that the convicts were to
be paid for and used entirely by
Neal.
The State has not received any
pay whatever for convicts under
'96, '97, and '9S, although the SO
and '97 accounts are credited as
being paid. They are really paid
with notes discounted by the en-
dorsement of w. A. Neal, super
inteudent. The notes were made
by the two Ragsdsle, foremen of
the farms, and were discounted
without any knowledge or COO.
sent OF the peuitentiary manage
ment. The notes average two
thousand dollars oach.
The '9S account is open. Wat,
son says he MADE the labor con
tract with full assurances that
Neal would make the settlements Is
and believed that he had done so.
In 1895 Neal being sick, Wat
son sold the crop and after taking
out his annual payment got a re.
, ceipt from Neal for 81, ,465 which
r was supposed to 60 to settle the
convict hire. 1t was never SC
used.
There is good deal on those
) lines. j. j. Fretwell sent a re-
! ceipt for $3.50 for oats paid las
