summoned as witness; that his du-
ties We're very important, that the
proper loading Of the train depended
upon him, and that if he had to at
tend court he might lose his job.
Messrs. Sublett, Burkett and
Easelden were recalled to refute the
testimony of the negro barber Logan,
who tried to put the crime on Spivins.
The defense then rested.
This morning four mastery argu-
ments We're made by Messrs. H. D.
Noise, z. II. Welsh, L. D. Jennings and
Solicitor Wilson in the order named.
Tie arguments were all clean, logical
and eloquent in parts, and not with
standing the fact that the jury has
been on the case for so long a time,
they showed not the least fatigue.
The judge charged the jury at $50
o'clock this afternoon and they then
retired to the jury room for the final
consideration Of the evidence in the
case

mendation to mercy

From The Daily Item, Oct. 30.
The murder Of which Jack McCoomer
and George Spivins stand charged,
which has occupied the entireftime Of
the Court Of General Sessions since
last Friday, is now drawing to close.
The defendant Spivins, through his
counsel, Mr.. Welsh, concluded the eX-
animation Of witnesses at late hour
Yesterday afternoon j. T. Price, who
is in the employ Of Cole Brothers cir
Gus, and who has a position under the
defendant, was first called to the wit
ness stand. He testified to the fact
that just prior to the shooting, his
work having been finished, he went to
the privilege car for lunch before
retiring for the night. While in this
car, the defendant Spivins, came in,
called for lunch and while they were
together in the car FIVE pistol shots
were heard He considered the oc-
currence as not unusual and he and
the defendant retired and heard moth
ing Of the wounding Of Mr.. Gaillard
until the next day in Bishopville. He
said that he gave Officer Pierson every
assistance that he could.
The defendant took the stand and
substantiated Price in the statement
above made. He admitted making
rash statements to Mr.. Mcleod in
the caboose car, but said that he and
Mcleod had had a personal difficulty
about damage to the train, that he
had been drinking a little and that his
statement that Campfire Bill had a
right to do what he did, etc., was
meant to antagonize Mcleod who had
spoken of lynching being the porper
way to deal with the guilty party. The
reason that he denied having made
the statement was to escape being
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1906-10-31

depot that he did not see the defend
ant Spivins and that he would have
seen him had he been present.
The testimony of Mr.. NJ. o. Burk-
EFT. the next witness, was substantial
lv the same as that given by Hazel
den
: Mr.. J. c. Mcleod was then called
to the stand. He was fagman on
the circus train, and at the time of the
shooting was about 800 yards away.
He was in the caboose car attached
10 the train at Bishopville, when the
defendant, Spivins, came in at 6:30
o'clock on the morning after the
tragedy. When witness stated that
Mr.. Gaillard had been shot on the
night previous, defendant replied,
SERVED him right that he was shot
Spivins stated that he knew who
did the shooting, and asked if a
crowd of men came up to me and put
a rope around my neck, if I would de-
fend myself. The witness did not see
spivins before or after the shooting.
Messrs. Henry Clark and Plummer
Clark, both testified to the fact that
they were in the agents Office at Man
ming on the occasion Of the killing as
the train pulled out they saw George
Spivins standing on the rear platform
Of one of the coaches with a pistol in
his hand This was twenty minutes
after the shooting took place.
The testimony Of Mr.. J. NJ. Woods
was practically the same as that Of
NJ Messrs. Clark.
Court then adjourned for the noon
recess.

THE GAILLARD TRIAL.
~, Do;,,, Tom Oct 26.

From The Daily Item, Oct. 26.
The trial Of the case of the state
VS. Henry Small. alias Campfire Bill,
alias Jack McCoomer and George
snivins was called for trial upon
tbe convening Of the court of General
Sessions this morning. L. D. Jennings,
Esq. attorney for the first named de-
fendant stated to the court that he
was expecting material witnesses
from Cole Brothers circus, now III
Georgia, that the management had
promised to have them here for the
trial. and that he did not wish to go
into the trial of the case without
them. Judge HydricA granted Mr..
Jennings until O'Clock to ascertain
whether or no the witnesses would be
set. as they were without the juris-
diction of the court and their atten-
dance rpon the court could not be
compelled. The attendance of these
witnesses is necessarily dependent
upon the willingness of these men to
attend, and upon the courtesy of Cole
Brothers management.
Intimation was made that motion
for a continuance WOULD be made, and
that the defendants, both Campfire
Bill and Spivins desires to be tried in
Clarendon county at the next term of
court there, which will be on the
second Monday in February. This
motion has not as yet been formally
made, and has therefore not been
passed upon by Judge Hydrick. 1t is
not likely that the motion, if made,
will be granted, as both defendants
have had ample time to prepare for
trial.

The average adulteration of paint in
this country is about one third; so,
you see, the average price the Ameri-
can people are paying for paint is
about ST. 81 gallon.
1t is q game Of wits Adulterators
are always too sharp for tue bulk of
consumers. People won't pay s1.75
a gallon for paint. So they pay
81 50 gallon for paint and something
that looks like paint mixed with it.
(They pay the painter, besides, from

The United States company Is spend
ing n vast sum upon their Eureka possess
sons. as is clearly shown by the
number OF additions that have been made
this summer, The exact expenditures

boilers arc installed ready for use. The
management has started to open up the
LOGAN shaft, and the old pumps In this
working have been taken out, In the
earlier days OF the camp the LOGAN shaft
was driven TO its present depths before
water compelled an abandonment OF this
portion of the property. The United

water has been drawn from the working,
the company will sink IL TO still greater
depths,

GOLD BULLION FROM
THE BLACK HORSE
Represents Portion of Cleanup
From Hundred-TOn Test
Run Made.

Perhaps the most positive evidence Of
prosperity presented by the Black Horse
mining district since this Nevada region
first sprang into prominence was
bundle OF gold bullion brought TO Salt
Lake on Wednesday from the San Pedro
property by f. R. Woolley of the Mines
Development company, This bullion was
worth in the neighborhood OF $4,000 and
represents n portion OF the clean up OF
San Pedro ore from the Whitney mill at
Osceola Mr.. Woolley states that thirty
eight sacks of concentrates from the
same run are en- route to Salt Lake, so
1t Will be some time yet before the total
value Of the 100 tons has been de-
termined.
Mr.. Woolley states that development
work Is progressing upon the Mines De-
velopmcnt ground. the main shaft being
down for n depth of 100 feet. AT the
bottom OF this working the vein shows
much stronger than at the upper por-
tions " the shaft. and an average value
Of this vein is $20S. The tunnel is being
driven to tap the resources of the San
Pedro ground at great vertical depth, all
possible speed being made with this
work In addition to the concentrates
now en- route the Mines Development
company has two cars of gold ore coming
TO the local market. The greatest draw
scarcity OF teams, complaint which is
general from this region,
Good reports continue TO come in from
all directions states Mr.. Woolley, The
prospectors settling down TO genuine
mining meeting with great success. From
all over the central portion OF Nevada
there is a steady Influx OF miners and
investors, all Nevada apparently turning
an inqulsitive eye upon the opening re-
sources OF this district.

Are Getting Closer Together.

There was n meeting Wednesday at
the Commercial club between the com
mittees OF the Tintic mine owners and
the San Pedro and Rio Grande railroad
companies at which the question of re-
vised freight rates was taken up
again and discussed. Several OF the mine
owners of Tintlc, aside from the COM
mittees, were present. and the discussion
was carried along lines OF the utmost
civility and desire to benefit all con-
cerned. 1t is understood that the rail-
road companies and the mine owners
each presented a proposition TO one an
other, and some time yet will be re-
qu!red before the parties will be able TO
get together on the matter.
