WILL BE HUNG.
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES
AGAINST PINK FRANKLIN,
Tho Murderer OF Constable Valen-
tho and He Will BE Resentcnccd
and Executed.

tino and He Will Be Resentcnccd
and Executed.
The State Supreme Court has sus-
tanned the lower Court In the case OF
Pink Franklin. the Orangepurg ne
gro, who Il convicted Of the kill
ing Of II. e. Valentine, white, and
sentenced to be hanged on October
25th, 1907. The case now goes down
to the trial Court for Franklin to be
resenteEced unless his colored law
yers take IN appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, which, it is
said, they will do.
The killing OF Mr.. Valentine caus-
ed quite a sensation at the time and
there was fcar Of violence. MI. Val
%entinc, Il constable, went to the house
Of Franklin to serve a warrant on
July 20. 1907. The warrant ahargcd
Pink Franklin with breaking an
agricultural contract, which had
been made under the law since de-
clarcd unconstitutional by the State
Courts.
When Valentine approached the
house Of Franklin, the negro went
inside the house and Valentine
knocked on tho steps. Soon after
wards n shot was fired and Nalcn-
tine fell mortally wounded. The
man who accompanied him, w. Nj.
Garter, was also shot from inside the
house. Franklin was also wounded
and he claimed that Valentine burst
into the house and fired at him be-
fore he fired at Valentine.
Franklin was represented by Jacob
Moorcr. Of Orangcburg, and John
Adams, Of Columbia, both colored,
and they raised much the same points
that MoOrcr has used in ConteSting
the election Of Democratic Congress-
men in this state, to-wit, that the
laws OF the state diScriminatcs
against negroes. OF course, there is
absolutely nothing in their conten-
tons. but the points serve to prolong
the life of Franklin. Sooner or later
Franklin will be hung.

The murder occurred about 3 o'clock

Larkin and John Saval. one of the
county's prominent sheepnen. had ar
rived mt the ranch about an hour he.
fore, Larkin being on official business
connected with the service of papers in
q suit brought by Saval against Il sheep
man living near the ranch. After hay
ing dinner, Larkin and McReynolds
started from the house to go to the
barn, Saval remaining behind to put on
his overshoeS. When they We're about
half way between the ranch house and
the barn, Barr, who had evidently been
concealed behind IN outbuilding, step
ped ont and commenced shooting. He
fired three shots and Larkin fell NOR
tally wounded but rs he fell he drew
his revolver and fired one shot ut the
assassin, but without effect. Mercy
nolds, who was close to Larkin when he
fell, started to run, but Barr COM
manded him to stop and threatened 10
kill him if he made an offensive move.
Barr, gun in hand, then went into the
ranch house and took possession of all
the guns there. Then he went to the
barn, selected the best saddle horse OH
the ranch, and turned all the other
horses ont. Mounting the animal, the
desperate rode away in the direction of
China creek and the Oregon line, hut
before going he warned the men on the
ranch that he would kill anyone who
tried to follow him or to leave for town
TO notify the officers.
AS o as McReynolds could catch a
horse he started for Winnemucca. Rid
ing all night, he reached Toll House
early Sunday morning and telcphoned
in to Sheriff Lamb the facts of the kill
ing. McReynolds did not know where
or how many times Larkin was shot,
