THE DEATH
 IF BUTTON The Official Relation at the
 COPOlGr'S Inquest AN EXPRESSMAN'S STORY He Said That a Haunt by the Victims Wife Pro- voked His Return to the House-The Examination of Jesse Pearce Today.
AN EXPRESSMAN'S STORY

The inquiry into the circumstances of the death of O. NJ. Button, who was shot to death the night before by Jesse Pearce at tile home of Buttons wife on East Jefferson street, was resumed yesterday afternoon before Coroner Johnstone. Pearce was brought in by the sherifrs officers, a man who evil denly regarded his situateion with great seriousness. He held an unlight- ed cigar between his teeth, the more to assist in overcoming his nervousness.
 Mrs. Button arrived after the crowd had gathered and took a seat in the rear of the court room. behind hanging curtains. where she mastered her aga tation with great difficulty. only enough evidence was taken to cstab- fish the fact that Button was dead and that he had come to his death from gunshot wound inflicted by Pearce. The phase of self defense was hardly more than scratched on the surface
 District Attorney Bullard was pres ont but only suggested to the coroner the line of questioning to be pursued. Judge Baker representing Pearce list ened attentively to the evidence and took copious notes of it. The verdict of the jury was colorless: it found only that Button had been shot and killed by Pearce. nothing of murder, nothing of self defense.
 The first witness was James Burnett, an expressman. who had hauled Button to his death. He said that little aft CT six o'clock in the evening he was driving past the city hall plaza when he was accOsted by Button, who asked him to drive him to the home of his wife. He said that he had been sepa- rated from her for a year, but that he loved his little children and was taking them some quail and rabbits he had killed that day.
 Arriving at the house, Button got out and told the witness to wait for him as he wanted to ride back with him. The witness said that Button re- mained in the house perhaps five min utes and came out, starting to the gate. Mrs. Button came to the door and call cd out. Aha. aha, it hurts you does it2" Button immediately turned with out saving a word and started to the house. Mrs Button stood at the door telling him not to come in. He pushed past her and she entered, Button slam ming the door shut.

BABY GIRL CRIED
 AND SCRATCHED
All the Time-Torturing Eczema Covered Her BOdy-CouId Not SIeep-DoctOr Said Sores Would
 Last for Years-Skin Now Clear.
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"I take great pleasure in telling you what a great help it was for me to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for my baby niece. She was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. Her hands were SO bad that she could not hold anything: She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. 1 had her under the doc tors care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. l took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if l had de- pended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid.
 Il used all the remedies that every body told me about and 1 tortured the child almost to death. Then l saw in the paper how Cuticura was the thing for irritating skin. 1 bathed her with warm water and Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured in three months. Now her skin is as clear and smooth as it could be. I shall recommend the use of Cuticura wherever l see the skin in bad condition. Alice L. Dowell, 4769 Easton Ave, St. Louis, Mo-, May and 20, l9O7.'

and who lived in the house with Nj.

GARRISON GOES TO PEN.
Man Who Killed His Daughters FL
anccc VIII not Appeal.

Rock Hill, Dec. 12.--It was learn
ed here to-day upon good authority
that j. Henry Garrison, of Gray
Court, Laurens county, who was, at
the recent term of court In Laurens
convicted OF manslaughter with rec
ommendation to the mercy Of the
court and later sentenced to two
years In the penitentiary, has gone to
Columbia and surrendered to the
prison authorities for the purpose of
serving his sentence.
1t will be understood that late in
July Of this year, while J. Louis Will
Hanson, prominent and well con-
nected young farmer Of this county,
was calling upon his fiancee, Garri-
sons daughter, at her home, Garri-
son in an oversuspicious moment
slipped up to the window near which
the young couple was seated and fired
load Of shot into Williamson's side,
causing his death In a few hours.
After the trial, which was attended
by quite number Of influential citi-
zens of York, Garrison was released
on bond pending an appeal of the
case.
Mr.. WilliamsOn's family and many
friends here have watched with great
interest the developments Of the case,
and it was rumored that the convict
cd man had decided to abandon the
appeal and serve his sentence. This
was not confirmed, however, until to-
day.
Garrison Not i'm Pcnitcntiary.
Laurens, Dec. 14.-The report in
yesterdays daily papers that J. H.
Garrison had abandoned his appeal
for a new trial, and had already gone
TO the pcnitentiary to serve his SEN
tcncc for the killing OF j. Louis Will
hanson, Of the Bethesda neighbor-
hood, near Rock Hill, is erroneous.
The correspondent OF the News and
Courier made inquiry to-day at the
Clerks office, and found that Mr.
Garrison had not applied for COM
mitmcnt papers, which will be neces-
Sary before he could begin his SEN
tencr. MIR. Garrison was in Laurens
Saturday. While it is understood
generally, and the rumor is well
founded that Mr.. Garrison has
abandoned his appeal and intends to
serve the sentence of two years i'm
posed by Judge Mcmminger. he ncv-
rrthclCSS has not taken any steps to-
wards that end, and the correspond
"ncc from Rock Hin is in error.
