Notable Trial In NGWberry.
A Negro Who Had Been Con
victed of Murder Refuses to
Testify Against Three
Other Implicated in
the Murder.
Special to The News and Courier.

Special to The News and Courier.
Newberry, Nov. 4.-Green-
wood Washington, Isiah Sanders
and Tom Gary, all colored, were
placed or trial this morning for
the murder of j. Butler Kinard.
an aged white man, during June
of last year, the same charge on
which another negro, Elijah Ed
wards, was tried yesterday and
found guilty, with recommen.
dation to the mercy of the Court.
AS stated in The News and
Courier of this morning, Edwards
was convicted principally on his
own confession. He said the kill
ing, whichswas done with a shot
gun, was by the three other me-
groes now on trial, and that he
having been "squeezed' into the
conspiracy, stood outside and
watched.
The trial of the remaining three
negroes this morning brought up
rather novel question in the
beginning. The jury which tried
the case yesterday heard Edwards
confession, duplicating the three
negroes on trial to-day. The
other jurors had been excluded
from the room. 1t was decided
by Judge Haynesworth, under the
law, that this confession could not
be used against the three other
negroes. For this reason the 1u-
rors who sat OF yesterdays case
were stood aside when presented.
The panel was exhausted and ad-
ditionai Jurors called for.
After little preliminary testl-
mony Elijah Edwards, who was
convicted yesterday, was present
ed by the State as witness. The
defence objected on the ground
that on the day before Edwards
had been convicted of murder, a
heinous crime, and was therefore
disqualified. That whether or
not ho had been sentenced made
no difference.
The objection was everruled by
Judge Haynesworth on two
grounds; that sentence had not vet
been passed and the verdict was,
therefore, still within the control
of the Court, and that murder is
not an Infamous crime, as meant
by the word as used in the statute
and that it was not named as one
of the disqualifying crimes. In
ruling Judge Hayesworth remark.
ed that disqnalifying crimes are
those implying moral turpitude,
rendering a witness unworthy of
belief, such as theft and arson.
Murder does not necessarily imply
moral turpitude. A man may
Kill another, holding a grudge
against him, and yet be worthy
of belief by his countrymen.
Edwards was placed on the
stand. He was instructed that
his case was still before the Court
and he was not compelled to an
swer questions which might in
criminate him. He answered a
few preliminary questions by the
solicitor and then he stopped, tell
ing the solicitor, 81 don't suppose
to answer any more questions. I"
The Judge ruled that several of the
questions would incriminate the
witness, but ordered the witness
to .nswer several. The witness
sat immovable anI was in con-
tempt. Judge Haynesworth said

Saluda Tired of Its Dispensary.

"a Pcllllou, SlSuSl Dy all out
nine of the citizens of the Town of
saluda, was presented to the State
board this week asking for the re-
moval of the dispensary, which
has been operated there for six
years. The petition was refused
on the ground that the law makes
no provisions for the removal of
a dlspensal when once it has been
fastened upon a community. The
matter has been referred to The
attorney general and the next leg.
islature will be asked 10 exempt
Saluda from TIE operations of the
dispensary law. Nine homicides
have been committed in that
county within the past Is months
and whiskey (disrensary whiskey)
is chargeable with most of these
killings.
WOULD MAKE SACRIFICE.
That the people of Saluda are
very much in earnest is to be seen
from the fact that they are willing
to sacrifice the Income which the
town has derived heretofore and
is still receiving from the dispon-
cary, a revenue which pays all ex-
penses of the town government.
AS the petition SO strongly puts
it:
"While the towns share of the
net profits from the dispensury
annually amounts to handsome
sum-and we are thus practically
relieved of oil taxation for town
purposes-and while there is debt
upon the town which will begin
to come due after while, amount
ing to something like So, 500, yet
despite all this after seeing the de-
moralizing effect that the sale of
liquors has upon the town and
surrounding country, we prefer
to assume the burden of town
taxation for current expenses and
to meet the indebtne$# referred to
than to see the ruin which is COM
ing to our town and county"
A STIRRING APPEAL.
And in another place there is
stirring appeal IN these werds:
"We are aware of the opinion
formed and entertained through-
out the State IN regard to the
lawlessners in this county and the
number of homicides committed
within the past Is months, and as
men who love their town and
county we deplore the facts upon
which this opinion was based, and
having come to the conclusion that
the disfensary here is responsible
to some extent for the state of af-
fairs existing, and dcsirous of
seeing the conditions changed,
and firmly believing that the re-
moval of our dispensary would
change these conditions, your
petitioners respectfully ask"
etc.
DRUNKENNESS INCREASING.
The petition says that while
there was some drinking in SaIuda
county before the establishment
of the legallzed place of selling
liquor, "yet we do say that since
the establishment Of the dispen-
sary here the drinking has wond
fully and dangerously increas-
ed.'
While they do not charge all
lawlessness to the presence of the
dlspensary, 'yet we do say in all
earnestness and canaor that to a
great extent we believe that whls
key drinking is the cause of it and

BELDING BOY SHOT
Earl johnson Shot by Lowell
Night-Watch.
Did Not stop when Ordered TO do so
by officer

Peter Johnson OF this city received
word this morning that his son Earl
had been shot by the nightwatch at
Lowell last night.
Our reporter found Mr.. Johnson at
the depot and glea ned the following
facts in regard to the matter.
Mr.. johnson and his son we're in
Grand Rapids yesterday and came
back last night. When Lowell was
reached the boy got off to try and get
work on the new dam at that place
and the father came home.
During the evening Earl got into a
racket in one of the local saloons and
an officer tried to arrest him. He
was running away when the officer
told him to stop which he tailed to dc
and the nightwatch shot him. The
ball entered his back near the should
er and was found in the left breast.
Johnson has shown a disposition to
be tough and this may have ten.
dency to tame him down little. The
wound is not supposed TO be serious
one, and word was received that he
would probably be about again in a
few days.
