wv BoplFoRD PARpoNEp.
His Petition Contained the Names OF
about 500 Citizens Of Williamsburg.

w Bodiford, a white prisoner in
the State penitentiary, was pardoned
yesterday by Gov Hayward. The
facts in this case are peculiar and at
the same time very pathetic.
Bedford was resident of Williams
burg county at the time that he COM
mitted the crime for which he has
been paying the penalty. One morn
ing he became engaged in colloquy
with q man named Coins and hot
words passed between the two. Bodi-
ford returned with a gun intending
to kill Coins and fred at him, but in
some way the bullet went wild and
the son of the would-be murderer was
killed instead of Coins. The father
was almost frantic in his grief and it
was evident to all that he had never
intended to fire at his son. But the
law must needs take it's course and
in April of this year he was brought
to trial before Judge Gage. He was
tried and convicted of manslaughter
and sentenced to five years at such
labor as he was able to perform.
For Bodiford was not a man of hale
and hearty years and in addition was
an invalid.
His application for pardon was
most heartily endorsed by Solicitor
] S Wilson, who prosecuted. The
solicitor remarked in his letter that
the case was a sad one. DR. Harmon
attached certificate to the applica-
zion stating that Bedford was a suf-
ferer from heart disease and that his
malady was incurable.
The application asking Bodiford's
pardon was signed BY all the county
officers of Williamsburg and many
prominent citizens. 1t contained
about 500 names.-The State Oct. 9.

BURNED 70 A CRISP.
FATE OF A YOUNG
NEGRO BOY.
Was Sleeping in Hay Loft when
Barn and Stables
Burned.

Last Friday night the barn and
stables of Frank Fulton, u thrifty
and well-to-do negro living about
23 miles south of town, were de-
stroyed by fire and negro boy, Wes.
ley Fulton, aged about ten years,
perished in the flames. Three mules
were burned to death and Fulton's
entire crop of this years corn was
destroyed; also about 1000 pounds of
fodder, a cart, a mower and a lot Of
farming implements that were kept
under cover of the barn.
Coroner H NJ Burrows went to the
scene on Saturday morning, but az
it seemed clear that the child's death
was due to accidental causes, he
did not deem it necessary to hold an
inquest.
AS well as can be gathered the
circumstances of the burning are
these:
Three negro boys, Snow. Ladson
and Wesley Fulton, nephews of
Frank Fulton and aged respectively
IA, 10 and 10 years, were in the
habit of sleeping in the hay-loft of
the barn, the entrances to which
were a door at the front and a
"chicken" hole at the side. On the
night of the fire the two older boys,
Snow and Ladson, were out visiting,
leaving the younger one, Wesley,
asleep in the loft. They came home
about nine o'clock and went through
the front door to their sleeping-place
in the loft. In a very short time
the fire blazed mp near the door.
Being near the chicken-hole the
older boys ran toward it dragging
the sleeping Wesley with them, SO
they say; but at the point of exit he
in some way became fastened and
they had to leave him to save their
own lives.
The negro boys who escaped were
thoroughly frightened and it is diff
cult to get anything out of them.
At first they denied having had any
fire in the loft, but later on Snow
admitted that he truck a match
near the door. There is little room
for doubt that the boys when they
entered dropped burning match or
a cigarette stump among the highly
combustible contents of the loft and
that the disastrous fire resulted. from
their carelessness. The loss falls
heavy on Frank Fulton, who suf-
fered similar disaster last year.

owners in that section OF The Bronx, who opposed
being saddled with assessments and declared that
the CITY should assume the whole cost. over $4,000
has been spent by a commission that has been in
quring into the plan, and the property owners
hold that the ground is steep for use as
park. One OF the objections referred TO inequality
of valuation by the appraisers. 1T was said that
instance they had valued lot at S.2o and
another adjoining il at only 500.
THAT was tricky and dishonest to say the
