SPORTS.

M Sports, white. was brought
in yesterday by Constable Moore
and lodged in jail for the killing
of r Paris McAlister. another
white man, near Suttons post
Office, on Friday evening. De-
cember /. The particulars Of
the tragedy are rather meager
up to this time; but from what
can be learned it seems that sew
eral men were gathered at
Sports house, McAlister a 'ong
the number, and that whiskey
was at the bottom of the trouble.
Tie row began in the yard and
Sports was cut with 4 knife by
one Of the men. lie then went
into his house saying that he
was going after his gun. When
he returned with the gun only
McAlister remained, the others
having business elsewhere.
Sports advanced within close
range of McAlister and shot
him in the groin, intiiCting a
fatal wound.
Whether or not McAlister was
the man who had cut Sports, we
have not been able to learn.
After the shooting Sports put
the injured man in buggy and
took him over to his home near
by. On Sunday night shortly
after y o'clock, McAlister died
from the effect of his wound.
On Monday an inquest was
held over the body of the dead
man by Magistrate W ? Moore
and the verdict rendered tina,
the deceased came to his death
b, a gun-shot wound at the
hands of ] NJ Sports.
Mr. McAlister leaves a wife
and five small children. The
remains were inferred at SuttOns
church on Tuesday following the
homicide.

GreelyviIle, Nov. Especial:
Our town was visited by quite a
destructive fire this morning, in
which Mrs Keels lost two stores,
one occupied by H H Brown and
the other by j T W Mcdowell.
Mr. Browns store was discover
ed on fire about 9 o'clock asd
burned so rapidly that nothing
could be done to save it or the
other adjoining, which was oc-
cupied by Mcdowell. There was
no insurance on the buildings,
but | understand Mr. Brown had
small policy on his stock of
goods. Other nearby buildings
were only saved by the heroic
efforts of our bucket brigade.

THt,R LIVES.
ALLEGED MURDERERS OF Mr. JULIAN
WILSON ARRAIGNED PROGRESS OLA
NOTABLE TRIAL-KILL LAST
THROUGH TODAY.

try the alleged murderers of Mr.
& Julian Wilson, who was killed
at Cooper postofice on the night
of October 13, 1905, convened
here Tuesday morning. Judge
,,Hydrick, of Spartanburg, hav-
ing been appointed te preside,
was promptly on hand, as were
Solicitor Wilson and Stenogra-
phet Latham, and the machinery
of the court was set in motion
with the least possible delay.
In charging the grand jury
Judge Hydrick congratulated
the county of Williamsburg on
setting an example to the State,
and the community where the
crime was committed for its ex-
ample to the rest of the county
ia restraining the natural inc Clg-
nation excited by so atroclous a
murder and allowing the law to
take its course. His Honor also
clearly defined the difference
between murder and man-slaugh-
ter and, in a general way, indi-
~cated the duties of the jurors
who were topass upon the guilt
or innocence of the prisoners
. at the bar.
The grand jury found true
bills against the three negroes
charged with crime, viz: Jen-
kins Burrows, Arthur Williams
and Robert Scott, who were
arraigned and pleaded, "not
guilty The prisoners being
without counsel the court ap-
pointed the following attorneys
ito conduct the defense: For
Arthur Williams, Gilland &
t;illand; for Jenkins Burrows,
Kelley & Fairey; for Robert
Scott, Stoll & Stoll. Messrs Lee
& Askins were retained to assist
= the Solicitor in the prosecution.
The trial opened with the tes-
timony of three physicians who
were present at the coroner S
inquest, Drs j r Brockinton, W
" Brockinton and W + Haselden,
who testified as to the position
and the nature of the wounds,
y which were four in number
three being on the head and
one on the neck at end of the Spi-
nal column. These wounds, three
of which were described as fatal,
were evidently inflicted by a
! heavy, blunt instrument, such
as the blood stained wagon-jack
found near the scene of the kill
ing and which, according to the
States theory, was the deadly
implement employed by the
murderers.
The main points of evidence
against the prisoners are, tracks
found near the store where the
murder was committed, which
were traced to within a short
distance of the houses of the ne
groes Implicated. These tracks
made by old, broken shoes,
Der mines, which is the size
I5e worn by all three defen-
wdants, and measures taken of
the tracks corresponded to the
shoes of each of the negroes.
Moreover, there were found in
thicket nearby, gun, three box
es of shells and a new hat, all
stolen from the store, and in a
sfanty occupied by Arthur Will
liams. a pair of pants also miss
ing from the store. When Jen-
kins Burrows was arrested his
ssover-alls were stained with
blood and in his pocketwere found
bloody shells like the ones stol-
4 en- and hid in the thicket. On
Robert Scott's hat were also
found the tell-tale blood-stains.
