Neese; the town marshal OF Swansea
Christmas eve, 1902; has been granted
bail in the sum of $4,000 by Judge
Ernest Gary. The case was heard in

gumeDt in favor CT bail was that the
jury had indeed found Mcdaniel guilty
of murder but had recommended the
convicted man to the mercy Of the
court and thus had put itself on record
as believing the crime not to be de-
serving of capital punishment. The
case has attracted attention because
the defendant is Of good famil! and
connected with some of the best fami-
lies in the State. He had gone to the
penitentiary 10 serve Eis term when
mainly through the efforts Of Mr.. lie.
roy F. Younlans he secured a stay Of

Shot CS Dispensaty Officers

Columbia special;-John Sullivan
an employe of N. satille; in Charles;
ton, was shot and perhaps fatally
wounded by a dispensary constable
Wednesday night. This is the first
homicide Of the Kind under Governor
Heyward's administration: Wien the
dispensary law was enacted Charles
ton thought it an outrage on the lib
erty CT the citizens there, and the ur,
wavering rlorai sentiment against the
law has made its enforcement diff
cult. The barkeepers, denied the
right of license, continued in business
in daring and fragrant violation Of the
law, just as the nioonshiners think
the Federal law unjust.
There have been MANY clashes IN
Charleston, bit heretofore no hon1i-
cides at the hands Of the constables.
Sattile is the italian and conducts
cafe near the postofficc.
Sullivan and two negroes had gone
to Mt. Pleasant, across the harbor,
where the liqour in bulk seems to
have been stored: There they we're
met by Constables Owens and Fud-
son, who confscated boatload of
LIQUOR. Sullivan started back to the
city, bit came back and attacked the
constables with an oar. 1t is stated
that Hudson did the shooting. but
both constables are in jail:
Hudson had been chief Of police of

ton.
