Will Abandon His Appeal.
Information from Laurens Is to the
effect that ]. Henry Garrison recently
tried for the murder Of Mr.. ]. Louis
Williamson of this county, and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for two years
for manslaughter is to abandon the
appeal Of which he gave notice at the
time of the sentence, and will go to
the penitentiary. The first informa-
ton was that Garrison had already ap-
piled to the clerk Of the court Of Laur-
ems county for commitment papers;
but the Laurens correspondent Of the
Columbia State says this is an error.
The correspondent, however, goes on
to say that there seems to be no doubt
of Garrison's intention to go on to the
penitentiary. Those who are familiar
with the facts developed at the trial
are of opinion that Garrison got off
much lighter than he had a right to
expect, and a good many are Of opinion
that If there is second trial it will
go harder with him.
