Sores and Ulcers never become chronic

When the has beer accomplished the dis

JAN. B SUDDUTH
ON TRIAL FOR LIFE
Charged With the Staying Of
Edward Hayes
Mans Body Was Eaten by Dogs
and This Fact is Vital Point
to Defendant, Who Main
tains Ha> es is Alive.
Special to The State.

Greenville, April 13. = The
criminal court is now engaged in
the most important and interesting
case that will he tried ut this ex>
ira term. 1t is the widely cele
brated Case where the discovery
va s made three weeks after wards
that n murder has been committed
upon tho person of Edward Hayes,
a white man who lived in the up
per section of this county, not far
from TigerviIIe Hayes disup
Eearsd from the community on tho
Sth of August, 1899, and in about
three weeks human head, which
had been recently severed from
the body, was discovered near the
bank of n small stream. This
grueSome find was made by Luther
Mckinney whle walking across
the farm, and numerous dog tracks
wero near the place where the
frlYhtful sight WAS sesn by Nc
Kinney, who reported the CHASTITY
affair to some of his Heighbors.
An Immediate search was begun,
and they followed the dog tracks
to the river, not far away, where
thew supposed further investiga-
ti"n would rsvea more in regard
to the matter. They entered the
river and went up the stream,
where they found mans leg pro-
truding above the water, and on
further inspection a hesdle.s body
was brought to the surface, which
had only tho stump of the neck
where the head belonged. 1t was
ut onco concluded that the body
was s"ne other than that of Ed
Hayes, farmer who lived in the
neiehborhood, and whose sudden
and mysterious disappearance, 3
or 4 weeks before had been the
talk of the community. A search
was made for Hayes, and no trace
OF him was known until the hexd-
less 'nan was unearthea from the
sand and debris which had con.
cealed him from view. The dogs
had eaten the flesh from the face
so that it could not be identified,
and hence other means had to DO
used to prove that Hayes's fate
was then made known.
Hayes disappearance was the
talk of the community, and it was
not snrpl lsiag that he was found
dead. He disappeared on Tuesday

August 1th, when he-was last seen

August 1th, when he-was last seen
at the home of James B Suddath,
which is not more than u quarter
of mile from Tvger River. The
hody was lying in the edge Of he
river, just where u ditch empties
into the stream, and it WAS cover
ed with sand and corustalks The
skull was found some distance
down the river, and the men who
made the search waded from that
point 10 where the body was living.
The testimony at the coroner :
inquest developed the facts that led
to tho arrest of SSuddath. VIII was
charged with the commission of
the crime A negro named Wade
Morgan, testified that Suddath
made threats at his house against
Hayes. and said he was gning to
give him a whipping for saying
that Mrs Suddath had told lie.
HAYES came up shortly after the
threat was made, and Suddath made
hostile demonstration, causing
Hayes to start off again, and Sud
dath followed HIM in the direction
of the creek. The negro testified
that he heard three shots after
Hayes and Suddath got out of his
sight, and it was upon this evi
dence that Suddath was placed i'm
Jail upon the charge of numbering
Hayes.
The cor"ner's jury was satisfied
that Ed Hayes had received ms
death wound from Suddath,> aud
rendered verdict accordingly. =
The deceased was shot in tho back
from his light side, and the hall
went through his liver and lodged
in the left breast The ldcntlfica-
ton OF Haves was made bv means
of his clothing, and each garment
was inspected by his wife, who
stated positively that he wore the
garments taken to her when she
last SAW him on the Sth of august.
No papers were found on the body
and the pockets were entirely
empty.
Suddath remained in jail until
last fall, when he gave bond for
his appearance at court, and the
trial has been postponed from
time TO time until it was called
yesterday. The negro Morgan
was the first witness examined for
the prosecution, and hs told sub,
stantiallv the story related by him
at the coronsr's inquest. Suddath
is young n an, not more than 80
years OF age in appearance, with
fair countssance and heavy must
ache. He does not seem concerned
Ms to the result of the trial, but
when Morgan WAS under cross
examination he made suggestions
to his coun sci which he evidently
deemed important
