Butler Holt Released.
His Wife's Appearance III New

That She Has not Been
Murdered.
Special TO rhe State.

Newherry, Aug. 27.-Bn,ler
Holt aid viii Martin, held in
connection with the Muude Allen
murder in Colum bia, were re-
leased from custody this after
noon.
Holt was releasd on an order
from Chief Justice Pope, Attorney
General Gunter having coa sentcd
to the release, subsequently Will
Martin was released by Mayor
Earhardit.
The end of the Newberry end
of the mystery was brought about
by the appearance of Lula Al
len Holt, the wife Of Butler
Holt, in Newberry this morn>
ing. She was brought to New
berry from Bath by A. j. Holt. u
brother of Butler Holt.
The main ground of suspicion
against Butler Holt was that the
murdered woman in Colum bia was
the woman he married in New berry
several months ago and who left
him after few days of married
life. The appearance of this wo-
man in Newberry today knocked
the bottom out of this ground of
suspicion.
Lula Allen holt SAYS that she ar.
rived ut her fathers home ut
Bath from Columbia lust Tuesday
morning and remained there I'm
TIL she left yesterday, coming 10.
New berry.
Will Martin was held on nc.
count of the belief that he had
married Salie Allen, a sister of
the woman Holt married. Lula
Allen Holt says, however, that
that the Martin held in jail was
not the man who married her
sister, that it was another Martin
altogether.
AS soon as Lula Allen Holt up,
peared in Newberry this morning
u message was sent to Attorney
General Gunter stating the fact.
\ telegram was received from Mr.
Gunter stating that he had com
muDicated with the chief Justice
and shortly after, late this after
noon, Holt's release was signed
by the chief justice.
