Guilty As to All -Four.
The Jury After Being Out Nine
Hours Convicts All the Defend
ants in the Famous Postof-
flee Conspiracy Case.

Washington, Feb. 26. .-"Gull-
ty as indicted" was the verdict
announced by Carl Petersen, the
foreman of the jury in the now
famous postoffice conspiracy trial,
shortly after 8 o'clock tonight,
stating at the same time that this
was the verdict as to all four de-
PENDANTS, August w. Machen, late
general superintendent of the ru,
raj free delivery division; George
E. Lorenz, of Toledo, and Samuel
A. and Diler b. Greff, of this
city. The jury had been out nine
hours, although the verdict was
reached in eight hours and twen-
ty-five minutes. In the dimly-
lighted room sat the four defend
ants, who, after the case was Civ
en- to the jury, had been placed in
the custody of the United States
marshal and confined to the limits
of the city hall.
With impressive dignity the
juryman rose and as the words,
"Guilty as indicted" fell from
his lips, the defendants and their
counsel seemed appalled,. The
defendants had given expression
to the belief that each hour the
jury spent in discussing the case
brought them nearer to an acquit-
tai. There was very general as
tonishment that the jury had in
cluded in the conviction Samuel
A. Croft, the policeman and in
ventor of the Grog fastener, as to

counsel for the government, yes

not expect a conviction and that

his guilt.
Five ballots in all we're taken.
On the first bullot the vote stood
seven to five for conviction, on

third nine to three, on the fourth

searched carefully at Lake City.
Thursday the sheriff noted in
kingstree the presence of a num-
Der of people from Lake City and
he became suspicious when he saw
quite number of vehicles in the
lot behind one of tho stores.
Thereupon he decided to remove
the prisoner and not five minutes
had elapsed after he had got out
of the Jail before the party from
Lake City was there demanding
the keys. Sheriff Graham and
the town marshal of Lake City had
each shown no little knowledge Of
human nature, for they knew that
the place of imprisonment was be-
ing watched and they knew that
the watching party would leave to
Join the main body Of lynchers.
The right moment was seized up
on In each instance and thereby
the negro's life was saved. The
prisoner was hardly out of the
guard house at Lake City before
the mob was there looking for him
and no sooner had tho sheriff got.
ton out of the Jail At Kingstree
thBn the mob was there looking
high and low for the prisoner.
Thursday night was spent in
the Cdepth vf the Black river
swamp by Sheriff Graham and his
prisoner.
"Wa,n't 1t quite cnld," the
sheriff was asked and to this he
replied:
"Well, l kept moving around
under the trees and managed to
keep warm, but this prisoner was
cold. He didn't have any shoes.
But whom they arrived iu Co%um-
bia Cato was wearing a pair of
new shoes which the sheriff had
bought him.
Sheriff Graham is very quiet
man but he has the air of a man
who will stop at nothing to pro
tsct a prisoner in his keeping.
Tho negro at first thought Sheriff
Graham was a lyncher, but when
he learned that his life was being
protected his gratitude knew no
bounds.
Sheriff Graham came IN on the
Southern as the system has no
line in Williamsburg county and
he did not wish to pass through
Lake City on the Coast Line.

SHERIFF GRAHAM
DOES HIS DUTY WELL.
Spent Night In the Black River
Swamp and Thereby Saved a
Prisoner Who Had Murdered
Popular Liveryman.

The sheriff OF Williamsburg is
man sworn to do his duty, and
he intends to perform that duty.
Last night he arrived in this city
with prisoner whom twice he
had rescued from the hands of
mobs.
The clutches of the enraged
people had almost settled upon
the negro when the sheriff saved
his life and protected the honor of
Williamsburg county. The charge
was murder and not the crime for
which people sometimes seek to
justify mob violence "Felonious
murder" the coroner's jury stig-
matized the crime.
The first intimation received
here of the condition of affairs at
;; Kingstree was telegram to the
governor from Sheriff George G.
Graham announcing that an at
tempt had been made to lynch q
negro. He appealed to the gov
ernor for Instructions. The or
ders of the executive officers were
for Sheriff Graham to 90 to Char
lesion with his prisonar and .latsr
to bring him to the penltentiary
for safe keeping.
Sheriff Graham and his prison
er arrived in the city. las. night et
$3.50 and the murderer is now IN
safe keeping at the State prison.
When they got off the train the
negro was handcuffed and his
arms we're tied behind him with a
stout rope, which the humane
sheriff released just enough to
permit the negro to eat sand.
wlch which the officer bought.
While the prisoner was breaks
ing his fast the sheriff very mod
estly related the details of the
terrible crime and the subsequent
excitement. Cato Williams had
bought a mule from Mr.. S. B.
MCGEE, a liveryman at Lake City
After working the mule for sew
eral months he brought it back
and wanted to get from Mr.. Nc
Gee the partial payment which
Cato had made. This was refus
ed and the negro acted 30 persis-
tently and showed such signs of
removing the mule by force that
the llveryman struck Cato and or
dered him from the premises.
Mr.. McGee walked to the front
door of the stable and turned to
see if the negro had left. As he
did so the negro fred into Mr..
MCGEE at short range, one ball
striking just to the left of the ma
val and the other below the left
nipple. Either shot would have
proved fatal. The pursuit of the
fleeing negro commenced almost
instantly, and he attempted to fire
upon the town marshal and upon
the lntendant, Mr.. Askins. Fin.
ally a party of mounted men rode
the negro down and the captive
was placed In the lookup of Lake
City.
Sheriff Graham was notified
and reached Lake City about dark
Wednesday night. He was in
formed by the lntendent of the
town that a mob was after the ne.
gro at the time, and that the pri.
soner had been spirited away fl ON
the guard house and was locked up
In barn. The sheriff took his
prisoner down the road In a bug.

Commendable Action.

Mayor Lynn Kirkland has or
dered all the saloons in the city
closed on Sunday. Previous to
his election Mr.. Kirkland made
no promises with reference to this
matter, and many were of the
opinion the saloons would con-
tinue to do business on the Sab
bath day. in case he was elected
Mayor. We are pleased to note,
however, he has ordered the sa-
looms closed and for which action
he cannot be too highly com
mended. Mayor Kirkland has also
given all proprietors OF saloons
orders to dispense with their wine
rooms, and not to permit, under
any circumstances, women to visit
their place of business. Our new
Mayor is certainly entering upon
his administration as chief exec
utive of the city in avery credit.
able manner. He is a man OF
broad ideas and good judgment,
and we predict he will give Sis
tersville one of the ablest and
most progressive administrations
in the city's history.
