HANGED AT SALuDA#
SLAYER OF EMANUEL CARVER
p PAYS PENALTY ''.a
On the GalloEs for His Crime.
Shot His victim While He was
Facking Cotton.

saluda, Nov. 2S.-A special to- The
News and Courier says at IL o'clocs
on Friday Will Herrin paid with hiE
life the penalty Of the law for the
murder Of Emanuel Carver in Sep.
tember.
The execution was without a hitch
Only very few, minutes were con.
sumed in preparing the prisoner for
the drop. After ascending the scat.
fold, Sheriff Sample asked Herrin
if he desired to- say anything. He
merely mumbled a word OF two to
the effect that he had nothing tc
say. -
At no time did he seem to realize
what was awaiting him, and he met
his fate without the least emotion.
He was pronounced dead in ten min:
utes fater the trap was sprung, AMI
his body. was laid in a cheap coffin,
furnished by the county, and carried
to the poor house for burial,
The Rev. D. H. Grassland went to
,Herrin's cell this morning and coil-
Quoted a little service. The con-
demned man manifested absolutely
no interest in it. While an effort
was made to. shield the execution
from the public, scores from positions
of vantage witnessed it.
Will Herrin was tried before
Special Judge c. G. Featherstone at
special term of the Sessions Court
in October for the murder of Mr..
Emanuel Carver at his home in Sep
tember. The testimony at the trial
show that Herrin, without any ap-
parent cause whatever, shot Mr.. Car
yer in the back while the latter was
picking cotton and failing to kill
him ran upon him, knocked him
down and beat him over the head
with mis- gun and left him dead.
Mrs. Carver was a witness to part
of the awful deed, she being in the
house when the shot was fired, and
running to the door was horrified
to see her husband down and Herrin
standing over him, beating his head
into pulp with gun.
, AS soon as the news of the crime
was made known some of Carver's
neighbors went to the; scene and
soon found Herrin little distance
away, and upon advancing on him
to take him into custody, was met
with a volley Of curses and fired up
on with stockless gun, he having
broken the weapon while beating
Carver. One Of the party was
sprinkled with shot, and the crowd
in turn fred at Herin and effected
his capture. For a while lynching
was imminent, but cooler counsel
prevailed and the culprit was turned
over to the sheriff and brought to
Saluda and lodged in Jail.
There was tremendous crowd
present to witness Herrin's trial, but
the best OF order prevailed. The de-
fendant was the only negro in the
Court House during the trial. except
the porter, and to all appearances
was the least disturbed by what was
taking place.
The only defence that could pos
sibly have been made in Herrin S
behalf was insanity, and this ques-
ton was fairly submitted to the
jury, and under the testimony no
other verdict than that reached could
have been returned.
Herrin was, however, a man Of a
very low order of intelligence. !"

Three Negroes Arrested Charged
With the Crime.

; Greensboro, Ala, Nov. 28.-Sher-
if Gewin has captured three negroes,
charged with the murder of Former
Sheriff R. w. Drake, near Laneville,
Ala, Thursday night. One of the
negroes confessed and implicated the
other two. He says that he held

killed Mr.. Drake by knocking him
in the head with an axe; that they
then saturated his clothing and the
bed clothing with oil and set fire
to them. Steps have been taken to
call a special term of court to try
the negroes because Of the feeling,
which is running high.

Pittsburg, Nov. 2S.-A large num-
Der of miners are imperiled in =
mine of the Pittsburg-Buffalo Coal
Company at Mariana, near here,
which caught fire following an cx-
plosion at 1880 this morning.
President Jones, of the company
says that one hundred men, con-
stituting almost the entire force,
were in the mine, which had j1st
been examined by the State inspe:-
tors and was found in perfect COZ
dition. 81
A special train carrying rsT-s
cuing party, equipped with all the
latest appliances, left Monongahela
at 1890 for Mariana.
There are said to be many English
miners among the imperiled force
A dense cloud Of smoak is coming
from the mines two shafts. Great
excitement prevails there.
Mariana IT, in Washington coun-
ty, which was built few months
ago by the company, and IS consid-
cred the most model mining town
in the world.
1t Is believed ,naLy men lost their
lives. The heary iron cage which
carried the men from the surface,
to. the workings was blown three
hundred feet from the mouth of the
shaft. Two men on the cage were
killed, one of them having his head
blown off,
Little hope is entertained for the
entombed men, as the fan house
was partly demolished and the fans
stopped for over an hour. The ex-
plosion occurred in shaft No. 2, no.
l not being completed.
Some company officials believe ;t'
necessary to dig through eight hnn-
dred feet of solid coal before they
can reach the workings. At 1880
this afternoon the smoke ceased Is
suing from the mine. Wives, moth
ers and relatives of the miners gath
cred about the mine mouth, their
cries being pitifnl. "
=. It is said that there is, a large
gas well-in the vicinity, but whether
the gas from this was communicated
to the, mine and became ignited or
whether the powder and dynamite
for blasting exploded can not be as
certained.
According to State Mine 1nspee-
tor Louitt, there were between 100
and 200 men in the mine. It Is
not likely that any will be recov-
cred alive. The rescue party sue
ceeded in entering the mine tn S
afternoon.
The last ray of hope for the res
cue of any one of the miners was
dispelled at $3.50 o'clock tonight
when the first rescuing party reach
ed the workings and found the dead
bodies scattered about the floor OF
the mine.
Few if any of the bodies are mutt
lated and the men were undoubtedly
smothered by the deadly vapors
which followed the explosion. The
bodies have not yet been counted,
but it is known that there are at
least 1875 and the number may be
larger. All but two of the bodies
in the mine, it is said, are tn ose
Of foreigners.
No effort has yet been made to re-
move THE bodies from the mine.
Instead the rescuers and the mining
experts are making complete ex-
ploration of all of the workings to
see If they are now safe. This work
is expected to occupy several hours.e
