Young White Mans
Revolving Crime
His Victim Was Little Four
Year Old Negro Girl-The
Act of A Drunken Brute.

Special to The State.
Spartanburg, Sept. 12. News
has reached here of an assault in
Greenville last night on a coIored
girl 4 years old and the accused
young white man is now in jail at
this place.
1t is said that the girl, whose
name Is unknown, was last night
found unconscious and later the
young man was found asleep
nearby. H Is n m 9 is Robert
Gunnells. The story is that Gun
nells passed the yard where the
girl was playing and promising to
give her some fruit carried her to
the woods and accomplished his
purpose. When found she was in
an unconscious condition and suf,
feriDg terribly.
The police and sheriff were no.
! tilted and search was begun.
About II O'Clock last night Gun
| nells was found in an old mill
building, 100 yards from the scene
of the assault. He was arrested
and carried to jail. The negroes
heard of the affair today and this
afternoon there was great excite
ment. TO avoid trouble Sheriff
Gilreath tonight brought Gunnells
to Spartanburg, where he Is now
in Jail.
The evidence against Gunnells is
said to be conclusive. He is the
son of Sergt.- o. s. Gunnells, who
for a long time has been a highly
respected officer of the Greenville
police f orce g. Young Gunnells
was under the influence of whiske,
when found asleep, and it is sup

dition when the crime was com
mitted.

More Bloodshed in Saluda.

Batesburg, September ID
Last night, at IL O'Clock, some
one killed Stenson Wise, colored,
on the public highway, leading
from this place to Mount Will
ling. There seems to be q mys-
terry surrounding the killing.
Watson says Wise called at his
house at 10 o'clock to get bottle
OF shoe polish, which he had left
there. When he left the house
he was accompanied by woman.
In a few moments he heard some
one say, "Hello! Stense Wise!''
and then a pistol shot rang out.
When Watson reached Wise he
found him shot through the heart,
and he expired in few minutes.
The woman, who was with Wise,
says two white men met them ir
the road, and one of them stop
ped her from the side of Wise,
with whom she was walking, anC
the other fired the pistol, which
killed the negro.

Dealing With Manslayers
Fearlessly.
Special TO The State.


Camden, Sept. 11.-Another
verdict of guilty of murder, al
though it be accompanied with n
recommendation to mercy, can be
placed to the credit of Kershaw
county. For the past three days
court of general sessions has been
occupied in the trial of Aaron
Williams, a prominent white far
mer of this county, fer killing
his brother in.law, VIM. S. Gard
ner, on March 1, 1902. The case
was tried last June a year ago, at
which time the jury could not
agree on verdict. In empanel-
ing the jury in this case last We'd
nesday, one of the jurors who had
been sworn in the case before TAX
ing his place on the panel an
nounced to the Irt that he was
related to the prisoner. The soli.
cltor asked the court to stand the
juror aside, but the defendants
counsel contended that the juror
having been accepted by the pris-
oner and sworn, it was Too late
now for the State to object to the
jurors serving. The juror was
allowed to remain on the panel.
1t having developed that klns.
man of the prisoner was one of
the jurors selected to try his case,
the prediction became general
that this relationship would affect
the verdict and that a mistrial
would be the result. The juror
proved to be man of character,
who could rise above the ties OF
blood, and lie agreed with the II
other Jurors that his relative,
Aaron Williams, was guilty OF
murder, and should be confined
for the remainder of his life in
the State penitentiary. The prls
oner put up the usual plea of al
murderers, that of self defense,
and although his counsel, Messrs
Eugene Blakeney and w. D.
Trantham, made ingenious and
able arguments in support of thi'
defense, the jury would not ac-
cept it.
The State was represented by
Solicitor Thurmond and M. L.
Smith, Esq. At II o'clock to-
night the jury rendered their YER

alarming. If the latest messages,

STILL BURNING AND KILLING.
Sofa, Sept. 13.-The Albanian
and Turkish troops collected IN
the villayet of Adrlanople appears
to be pursuing their usual tactics
of burning and plundering the
villages and killing the peasants,
instead of making an attempt to
break up the insurgent bands.
Very little news is tiltering through
from Monastir, but all reports
agree that the position of the
Christians is desperate. The Turks
are making clean sweep of the
whole Bulgarian element. The
Albanian soldiers in the villayet
of Adrianople are stated to be en-
tirely beyond control. At Kas-
toursco, the influential beys com
planned to the officers of the excess
ses committed by the troops. The
officers resented the criticism and
told the soldiers that the beys
we're friends of the revolutlona
ries, wbereupon the soldiers burn
ed the beys' farms. The Turks
have burned the villages of ANA
glk and Erikler, in the district of
J Losengrad. They beheaded 90
{ Bulgarians at Almagki, in the
presence of their families. Twelve
thousand troops are assembled
around Losengrad and engaged in
pillaging and burning the villages.

Preacher and Constable Shot to Death
Me,e GarufhersxilIe

Caruthersville, Mo-, May I'D. NJ.
Malone. a preacher for sect known
as "Sanctified People" and Constable
w. ]. Mooneyhon were shot and killed
by a mob at Wardell, twelve miles
west of Charlottesville.
Malone had been proselyting in this
county for several months and consid-
cradle feeling had been aroused
against him. A woman named Mrs.
Frill. having left her husband, caused
much agitation recently by living
with Malone, who left his own wife.
Mrs. Alice Malone. the preachers
wife. objected vigorously to this ar
rangement and Malone declared her
insane and caused her to be detained
in Jail. This action aroused citizens
to a frenzy and warrant was issued
against Malone and Mrs. Frill on the
charge of unlawfully living together.
Constable Mooneyhon arrested both.
and because of the lateness of the
hour decided not to take them to Ca
ruthersville until morning. but instead,
took his prisoners to his own home
for the night. Shortly after midnight
there was a knock at the front door
and Mooneyhon opened the door.
He was shot dead in the doorway. A
mob streamed into the house and
seized Malone. dragging him out into
the darkness. Mrs. Frill frantically
begged that no harm be done to him.
but she was roughly pushed inside the
house and the mob departed. Ma
lone was taken to a wood some dis
tance away and shot to death.

Joliet, Ill, May 4.-Women and men
fought hand to hand with each other
and then fought hand in hand against
the police in the Slavonic Roman Cath
olic church. The trouble was started
by several women. as the collectors,
were circulating through the church.
There were 1000 men. women and
children in the church when the fight
began. In spite of all the protests of
Father Kollar and others the church
members fought with fists and pieces
OF furniture. knocking each other right
and left. Some one ran from the
church and called on the police for
help. In few minutes a patrol
wagon full of policemen drove up to
the church and the patrolmen entered
the edifice. which was filed with
whacks thump. din and tumult.
Bloody noses and lacerated faces We're
numerous. The men had been penned
In by Gordon of angry women. who
pelted the stronger sex with clenched
hands and books. BY the time the DO
lice arrived some of the combatants
had fled to the streets. AS the police
men entered the church those on the
outside returned to the fight, armed
with clubs, stones and revolvers.
Those within left off fighting with
each other and unitedly beset the po-
lice. Then the policemen drew revolv-
ers and threatened to shoot unless or
der prevailed. The affrighted COM
batants ceased fighting and the police.
men began to make arrests. No one
knows exactly who started the fight.
or what it was about.
