DARGAN FAMILY REFUSE
TO HAVE BODY EXHUMED

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 5.-That Rob-
ert Keith Dargan, whose erratlc and
lordly management on a speculative
basis of the Independent Cotton Oil
concern wrecked that institution and
the Darlington bank associated with
it, with the result that two suicides
beside his own have already followed
in the wake of the ruin he wrought to
rwo MILLION dollars worth of property,
is dead, is not. doubted by the intelll-
gent people of Darlington who know
the circumstances and who are lite
long observers of the pecullarltles OF
the Dargan family, in spite Of the wild
stories that are persistently kept
afloat in three states that his death
was faxed in order that The might es-
cape arrest and that his family might
get $4,000 life insurance due on his
policies held at the time of his death.
That he is dead is not even doubted
bv the represent ative of the Fidelity
Insurance company who have recently
and repeatedly investigated the mat
ter. And yet representative of the
company who recently carried check
for $4,000 to Darlington to he paid to
Mr.. Dargan's widow was unable to de-
liver the check. because the family re-
fused TO- allow satisfactory proofs Of
death 10 be produced-because the
family positively and even Indignantly
and proudly declined to answer the
reports that have gone out by either
exhurning the obdy themselves, al
lowing the company to have 1t done,
or permitting the coroner to do it.
That they would feel disincEnatlon
So.do so was to be expected after the
family in spite of the peculiarities of
the suicide declined to allow the un-
dertaker 80 prepare the body for bur
ia1. And the coroner has refused to
exercise his own authority to ex-
hume the body on account of the ex-
pressed aversion on the part of the
family. It is understood that the wild
nw was at one time iwlling that this
be done, but that recently she has
joined i1'er late husbands brother, IA
ther and cousin in opposing this step.
The Equitable's policy for $4,000 was
promptly paid without question. The
suicide would have had more. insur-
ance but was unable to obtain, it. He
was declined by several companies a
sho-: time before his death. -.
But the situation is slightly differ
ent in the case of the Fidelity Mutual,
which has shown a disposition, a will,
ingness, almost an anxiety, TO. pay
its claim; but South Carolina policy
holders in the company wrote to the
home office as the check for the full
amount was about to be turned over
protesting against the payment be-
cause of the belief among a number
of people that Dargan was not dead;
they argued that to make this pay
ment without investigation would be-
unjust TO other policylrolders in mu-,
tual company. -.

a burning cigar stub on the awning

windows in front of the Won Hamm-

seen enveloping the whole awning and
shooting up the walls. An alarm was
turned in from box u at the corner OF
Fort and King streets. and two en-
gines. a chemical and two hose-wagons
were on the spot in a minute and
half. The awning was torn down and
the blaze squelched with a fire ex-

So great was the heat that it would
have been but few minutes before
the pane fell in. Inside was a stock of
valuable automobiles and big stores of
dry goods and other inflammable stuff.
