Told In First Report.

Charleston, Jan. 22.-The wreck Of
the Coast Line, New York and Flori-
da vestibule train No. SO, at Yemassee,
Monday night, proved to be one OF

standing on the side track. The
freight train was not over 40 feet
from the entrance to the switch, and
before the crew of either train had
time to jump the engines were togeth-
er The observation car of the vesti-
bule train was telescoped and caught
fire. and almost before the passengers
realized what had happened the three
forward coaches were burning.

the observation car and the negro
porter. The passenger was killed and
burned to a crisp; the porter saved
himself by breaking a window and
jumping from the burning car. The
two engines, the observation car, two
Pullman and several freight cars
were burned to the ground.
Five men were killed-four being
burned to crisp under the heavy
cars.
The wreck was caused by an open
switch, due to the negligence Of
some member of the freight crew. AS
in all wrecks the statements Of the
crew are conflicting, but all admit the
switch was left open.

Judge Gary Returns to Governor An
sci Papers in the Adams Case Pet.
ton for Pardon.


Columbia, Jan. 22.-Judge Gary
has returned to the governor the pa
pers in the petition for the pardon OF
r. @. Adams without his recommen-
dation. The judge reviews very brief
ly the history Of the case, which was
tried before him in Colleton in 1903.
Adams was convicted and Judge Gary
refused the motion then made for a
new trial. He then imposed the death
sentece. The case since that time,
says Judge Gary, is familiar history.
He concludes: "I knew Of no reason
at that time why he should not pay
thee penalty of his act, and for that
reason imposed the sentence Of the
law upon him. Further than this I
have nothing to say.
Solicitor Davis, who prosecuted the
case, has already fled with the Gov
ernor his views strongly protesting
against any interference with the
death sentence for Adams. The case
will come before the pardon board at
the next session, Adams having been
respited by Governor Hayward in or
der for his appeal to be heard.
