Harry 8. Mead, and Henry Deutch,
attorneys for ex-Mayor A. A. Ames,
who was convicted of bribery and

motion for new trial before Judge

technical ones, but the several points

attorneys and exhaustively argued.

court grant the motion The three
grounds upon which the new trial will
be asked for are:
First: That the Indictment does
not conform to the statutory provis1
ions.
Second: That the indictment
charges more than one offense.
Third: That the indictment does
not state facts sufficient to institute
public offense.

A LEXINGTON CONVICTION.

Lexington, Sept. 24.--The Sc
cond murder trial at this term of
court resulted tonight in ver-
dict of guilty with recommends,
ton to the mercy of the court,
whereupon Scipio Stratford, the
prisoner, was sentenced by Judge
Gary to life Imprisonment. Sci
pio Stratford shot his brothersin-
law on the public highway while
the deceased was walking quietly
along the road with his wife ana
baby. The evidence was very
conclusive of deliberate murder,
although the prisoner put up the
plea of self defense, and had de-
ceased's wife, who was his sister
and an eye witness, to back him
up in his self defense theory, but
she contradlcted SO fiagrantly her
testimony given before the coro-
ner that she made no impression
on the jury, except that she was
lying. At the coroner's inquest
her testimony was against her
brother and in favor of her hus-
band, whom her brother had shot
down. At the trial today she
told it quite differently and ad.
mitted she was lying when she
testified before the coroner. The
solicitor ought to take action in
such cases and prosecute for per-
jury.

A. Shirley, a well known dairy.
man near the city, has had sever
al cows to die recently and has
several others that are sick. He
sent to Clemson college for vet
crinarian, who came down and
inspected the herd Sunday. This
official gave as his opinion that the
cows had been suffering from Tex
as fever, and that the disease had
been caused by ticks. He says
that calf may have ticks on it
without injury, but that if COW
grows to maturity without having
ticks and then acquires them, they
will cause what is known as Tex
as fever, which will nearly always
prove fatal. 1t is said that no
certain cure has yet been found
for the disease. The expert ad ,
vised Mr.. Shirley to get SOME
whiskey and give his cove a half

1t was Learned yesterday by
telephone that the first murder
case before the Lexington court
was disposed of. Wesley w.
Spites was acquitted. for killing
Charlie Hutto near Brookland on
the 4,h of January. At the time
OF the killing it was brought out
that the harmony in Spires home
had been interrupted by Hutto's
persistence in paying Mrs. Spires
unwelcome attention: After re-
peated warnings from MIR. Spil es,
efforts to see Mrs Spires by Hut
to were INDUCED in, until Mr..
Spires feeling was aroused to the
highest pitch.
ln desperation Hutto armed
himself with a rifle and started
for Spires home. The latter,
armed with shotgu un, met Hutto
a short distance from his home,
presumably on a hunting trip.
Hutto first saw Spires with his
shotgun and Immediately opened
fire with his rifle. Then Spires
discharged both barrels at Hutto,
killing him instantly.
After the killing Mr.. Spires
went to Lexington, where he is
we'll known, and surrendered to
the sheriff, telling his simple
story. He is man of about 40
>ears of age, and gentleman for
whom he worked some five years
says he was peaceably inclined,
