There was no striking or sensational
testimony in the case against John Love,
the white man who was tried Tuesday for
murder. All the evidence was circum-
stantial, going to show that he was last
seen in company with Lucas. NO quarrel
and no motive for the killing was shown,
and no pistol was found on Love or in his
buggy, when he was arrested soon after
the fatal shot was fired. Two white men
testified to a negro running into the rail-
road car the same night and saying he
had shot negro: This is the same story
published in THE HERALD last week, go
ing to show that negro who was work,
ing on the railroad material train, killed
Lucas, this train being in the siding at
Denmark the same night.

Cornerstone LaYing.

The town of Branchville is making en-
thusiastic preparations for the laying of
the cornerstone of the new Methodist
church, and fifteen different committees
of ladies have been appointed to look after
the various details of the occasion. Din
ner will be served by these good women,
who will see to it that every one has a
good time A very large crowd is expect
ed, and all efforts are tending to insure
this day being the most notable in the
history of the town. The stone laying
ceremonies will take place at eleven
o'clock Friday morning, the 18th instant.
Bishop W. ". Duncan will be in charge
of these exercises and will deliver an
address. The Masons, Knights of Pyth-
las, and Woodmen of the World, all of
which have lodges in Branchville, will
attend the cornerstone laying.
At night the Branchville Masonic lodge
will have great occasion. The Masters
degree is to be conferred, and Bishop
Duncan will deliver an address to the as
sembled brethren. All the neighboring 6
lodges have been invited to attend, and it
is probable that number will go from
here. Grand Master Jno. R. Bellinger
will attend if his duties at the court will
permit.
Of course the usual banquet will be
served, and the Branchville brethren say
this will be the largest affair yet given.
So we who have been there before know
what that means.

WHITE MAN TO HANG
The Appeal of R. A. Adams to the State Supreme
Court Ayailed Nothing.

The appealed case of R. A. Adams, a
white man, for the crime of murder, was
decided by the State Supreme Court last
Monday. Associate Justice c. A. Woods
confirmed the circuit court, which had
sentenced Adams to be hung.
R. A. Adams, the man who will now be
again condemned to death, was indicted
with W. B. Adams and Henry Hoff for
the murder of Henry Jaques. They were
tried in March, 1908, in Colleton county,
where the crime was committed, and w.
B. Adams and Hoff were acquitted. 4. A.
Adams was convicted and sentenced to
death by Judge Ernest Gary, his e1ecu-
ton to take place June 5, 1908. A motion
for new trial made by his attorneys was
overruled. Appeal was taken on the
ground that certain evidence was not ad-
mitted and that Judge Gary had not been
sufficiently explicit in his charge to the
jury.
R. A. Adams and Henry Jaques met in
the public road Feb. II, 1908, and Adams
shot the other. On Jan. 4th, of the same
year, in the yard of Adams, Adams had
been shot by Jaques for alleged improper
langu to some of the members Of
Jaques's family. The issue on trial, says
opinion of Justice Woods, was whether
Adams killed Jaques in self defense or in
revenge.
He deals with the exceptions made by
the appellants attorneys and finally af'
firms the decision of Judge Gary and re-
mands the case so that new day may be
set for the execution of Adams. Justice
E. B. Gary fled dissenting opinion.
This case was argued in the supreme
court by Assistant Attorney General w:
H. Townsend for the State, and Messrs.
Howell s Gruber and j. NJ. Walker for
Adams.
