JURY'S STRANGE VERDICT.

Scranton, Miss, June %.
"We, the jury, find that deceased
came to his death by climbing a
tree, venturing too far out on a
limb and broke his neck"
Such was the verdict of the
coroner's jury in the case of
Daniel Patrick, colored, who was
Iynched here yesterday for crimi
nal assault upon Miss Bessie Ire

Patrick confessed his crime and
begged the mob to shoot him. He
evidently feared burning at the
stake, and was glad to be let of
with rope and bullets.
Three hundred mon took part

mington. Sent Back Home.

The Wilmington Star of yester
day has this to say of a South
Carolinian who struck that port:
7 Nj Brooks, II white man from
South Carolina, was before jus
tice Fowler yesterday for disor-
derly conduct. He was arrested
Tuesday afternoon on South Front
street, near Orange, and was so
drunk and very boisterous that be
had to be committed until he was
sober enough for. trial. He stat
ed at the hearing that he was an
inmate of poor house in his ma
tive State and that he had been
furnished by the authorities of
that institution with a ticket to
Wilmington and 81 cash for in
cidental expenses. 1t appears
with the latter amount he had
purchased a liueral amount of in
toxicating fluid as stated above,
and this is why he came to grief.
Justice Fowler fined him Sc or
thirty days Imprisonment. He
gladly accepted the latter proposi>
tion, but upon finding that he
would be required to work on the
public roads he replied that he
had rather return to his South
Carolina home, if he should be al
lowed, which he did, leaving the
city as stipulated by the court at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

The admiral asked Holden for his

American people could not afford
to withdraw, that they were build-

present, and that they owed it to
the world to remain, he heartily
approved of the words.

Holden was asked by the ad

pated in the battle of Manila.
"They were good enough to

enough to be American citizens, "

MURDERS HER HUSBAND.
A Georgia Woman Restricted as
to Her Company, Used
Pistol.

Valdosta, Ga, June %.
Jane Graves, of Alexanderville,
was brought here this morning
and lodged in jail on the charge
of numbering her husband.
The tragedy occurred Sunday
and was reported as a case of
suicide. The citizens in that
community were not satisfied
with this theory and the coroner's
jury inves igated the case for two
days. Enough circumstantial evil
dence was gotten to justify the
arrest of the woman. 1t was
feared for while that the hear
ing would develop iuto lynching.
The most startling testimony was
that of George Register, who
worked with the Graves and who

shoot her husband, then throw
the empty cartridges out of the
weapon and hastily place the pistol
in his hand as he lay upon the
floor in the throes of death. 1t
was also stated that Graves and
his wife had quarrelled because
she had been out riding with a
young man. She intended going
out again in the afternoon, but
he forbade her and the quarrel
was renewed. According to the
statement of Register, she was in
the kitchen when her husband
started to the lot to stop a boy
fl ON hitching up a horse with
which she was going driving. As
he crossed the porch two shots
rang out and he dropped to the
floor dead in a moment. The wo
man is intelligent, neat and at
tractive, aged about 40 years.
She says that she does not
know who did the killing. The
case will probably outrank the ia
nous Mobiles case, as the parties
stand higher in the community
than Mobiles did. The murdered
man was prosperous farmer and
machinist.

ASSAULT.
Drove Husbands Of Women From
House and Ravished Their
Wives One Woman
Dangerously
Wounded.
Special to The State.


Batesburg, June 26.-James
Attaway, white, was arrested here
this afternoon by Sheriff Caugh-
man of Lexington on the charge
of rape. The sheriff is looking
for Ed McCloud on the same
charge
The affidavit in the warrant is
made by l. H Leitch and David
Meetze, charging the assault on
the persons of their wives, Mary
Ann Leitch and Laura Ellen
Meetze.
1t seems that the women have
not borne the best of regulations
and that the defendants have been
in the habit of visiting them as
lovers. Recently the women
were married TO the above named
men and it is presumed that the
husbands objected to the continu-
Ance of their past lives.
On May 16 the parties visited
the house where the parties were
living, but the husbands objected
to their presence. Attaway and
Mcleod are said to be pretty bad
men, and it is said that at the
point of the pistol they made the
husbands leave the house. In
some way Attaway's pistol was
discharged and the ball took effect
in the groin of one of the women.
DR. Cresson Of Leesville probed
for the ball but was unable to find
it, as it had lodged in the pelvic
cavity. The woman is not yet
out of danger. She claims that
Attaway deliberately shot her,
but he claims that the shooting
was accidental.
The prisoner had pistol and a
pair of knucks on his person when
arrested today, SO he will have to
answer to the charge of carrying
concealed weapons.
The scene of the alleged crime
is in the northern part of Lexing.
ton county, near the Saluda river.
