in charge under arreet. Henderson,s
wounds in his chest were open 2nd
diseharging, the wounds in his hand
and left arm were sickening to look
at. I advised Maj. Anderson that
in my opinion it would be brutal
and inhunaan to carry him any tur-
ther. I told Maj. Andersen that l
had been informed that the judge and
solicitor had advised Sheriff Rhoden
to arrest Henderson and put con-
stable in charge until he was able
to be brought to jail and that we
would go to Saluda and get this
done.
We went to Saluda and I got Mr.
J. C. Ramage, the attorney for the
sheriff, to go with me to the sher-
ifs office; we could no find i:im. Mr..
Ramage went to the jail and brought
Mr.. Rhoden's son who was deputy
sheriff and jailer, we told him our
business, Mr.. Ramage looked up the
law to see if the deputy could sign
the receipt for Henderson. He was
satisfied he could and the deputy sign
ed and affixed the sheriff's seal to the
receipt. I asked the deputy to see
if he could not find his father, that
thought it would better to have the
sheriff sign the receipt and appoint
some one to take Henderson in
