Both Found Guilty.

George Spivens, white, and Jack Nc
Coomer, a negro, were tried in Sumter
this week for the murder of J. E. Gaillard,
q prominent young white man at Man
ming few weeks ago. The men belonged
with the circus of Cole Brothers. No
motive for the killing of young Gaillard
was shown, he being shot while sitting
on his horse watching the preparations
for departure of the circus train. They
were both found guilty of murder with
recommendation to mercy. Motion for
new trial was made. If this is refused
they will be sentenced to life imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. The verdict
gives satisfaction in Sumter, which was
Gaillard's native county.
