DRAMATIC SCENE
 IN SMITH TRIAL
(CoNTINUED FROM PAGE 1.)

hOM EAUh IsJ ~-----~-------~-~-~------ -----~~~-~~--~-~-~-~-~---~ cannot do it." It was when the leading counsel for the cross examination of Smith was asking questions in con- nection with his travels to test his memory, Did you kiss the Blarney Stone?" Then was wrung from her, who has never refrained from her stony silence and who has never corroborated her fathers statement-"I killed E. A. Laurent because he debauched my daughter'-the cry, "Oh, I cant stand it." Her frail body was shaking with convulsive sobs. Her friends and lady relatives in court rush ed to her aid.
 Quiet Is Demanded.
 Just before this incident MT. Landrum, leading counsel for the defense, asked the court to stop demonstrations by the audience. He stated that his client was being tried by jury of twelve men and not by the crowd present He also stated that the ripples of laughter were very annoying and might have some effect upon the jury. Just as McConnico asked about the Blarney Stone, there was an outburst that seemed to be louder than all others from the audience and this had the effect of causing such a scene.
 Just after Miss Smith showed such un- controllable emotion, MT. McConnco arose and bowed to Miss Smith. assuring her that he meant nothing except to test her fathers memory and that he had re- spect or reverence for no woman more than he did flor Miss Estelle Smith"
 Insanity Is Defense.
 Insanity appears to be the sole basis of the defense. To date the defense had not submitted any testimony bearing on the alleged ruin of Miss Smith by Laurent except the testimony of the father. It is thought by many that he was allowed to repeat the narrowing story he told yesterday, in which he connected the names of so many people and showed them in such bad lights, for the purpose of having their own witnesses break down his own statements. Many think his story Is implanted or engraved upon his mind and that the defendant really believes that Laurent did debauch his own daugh- ter. The friends of Miss Smith, no one in the town for that matter, will counte- nance anything wrong about this young woman and the testimony of the father about his own daughter remains now more of mystery and non-explainable circum- stance than ever before Just what the next move in the defense will be is really rot at all understandable or even imag- inable.
 Defendants Testimony.
 The defendant took the stand this morn- ing immediately after court opened His cross examination lasted three hours yes- terdav afternoon and until Il 40 this n,orning making his testimony and an- 2 ITS to McConnico's questions consume about six hours in all. The questions this morning covered the entire life of the defendant.
 Shortly after court opened it was ap- parent that the prosecution was en- 5dAauorinR to touch upon the charactaz>x0s

peace and violence of the defendant. This brought forth quite d pretty speech from MT. McConnico. It started off to resemble tilt between counsel but soon became a one-sided affair.
 This tilt came just as Mir. McConnico begun his examination for the defendants reputation for peace or violence. He asked the question:: What about that trouble you had with Halbert about four years ago?' The defense objected and said he had no right to bring in the defendants past actions. MT. McConnico, equal to the emergency immediately asked that the jury be excused, and the question argued and settled once for all as he had an abundance of questions along this line to ask.
 Jury Is Excused.
 The jury was excused and the prosecut- ing attorney said the defense had opened the flood gates and turned on the lights, thereby courting the closest investigation of the Smith family, when yesterday they introduced an uncle who had also brought into the case great-uncles, cousins. aunts and brothers and brothers-in-law, who were more or less insane. The gentleman from Nashville said: Surely if the de- fense can go into these about the de- fendant's relatives, have the right to go into the defendants own personal char acter.
 MT Landrum leading counsel for the defense, stated: We do not care to argue the matter" MT. McConnico conside<- this in the true light he stated, the open in gof the flood gates" and he rushed in with the flowing tide.

Charleston Lad Died of Rabies.

Charleston, S. c., April 11.-carl
Rink, nine years old, who was bit
ten three weeks ago by mad dog
while playing in front of his resi-
dence on Meeting street, died Satur-
day morning in frightful agony at
the Riverside Infrmary, where he
was sent for special treatment. The
very day that the child was bitten
his father took him to Atlanta, where
the little fellow was treated at the
Pasteur Institute. The dogs head
was taken on to the institute and the
fact was established that it was
rabid. Notwithstanding the prompt
treatment, the inoculation must have
been so serious that the usual sue
cess did not attend the treatment.
The child was brought back to Char
lesion, apparently doing we'll, but
his condition grew worse few days
ago and then the disease developed
in all it's serious forms and death
alone ended the child's suffering.

The death of Judge T. ]. Macke,

The death of Judge T. j. Mackey
removes one of the most picturesque
figures of reconstruction days in
South Carolina and one of the few re-
naming veterans of the Mexican war.
Judge Mackey was a member of the
Palmetto regiment in the Mexican
war, which Col. J. D. Blanding, OF
Sumter, commanded, but most of the
members of this gallant band have
passed away. We had an uncle in
this regiment, who went West many
years ago, and he was alive the last
we heard of him, but this was about
ten years ago, and at that time, in
conversation with Col. Blanding, he
informed us that there were only
about six members of the regiment
then living.

Dies in Electric Chair.

Ossining, N. Y, April 12.-For
the murder of his mother, Susan
Carlin, in her home in Brooklyn one
year ago, Bernard Carlin, aged %,
was put to death by electricity in the
State prison here at 6 a. m. today.
One shock of the current, consisting
of 1,S40 volts only, was applied. A
short delay in applying the current
was caused by the accidental discon-
nection of one of the wires with an
electrode After delay of nearly a
minute the wire was adjusted, the
current was turned on and minute
later Carlin was pronounced dead.
Carlin had been an inmate of
charitable or reformatory institu-
tions a greater part of his life, be-
ginning in infancy when his father
died. He blamed his mother for
permitting him to remain in these
institutions and when he was re-
leased from the reformatory a year
ago he Immediately purchased re-
volver, went direct to his mothers S
home and killed her.

The State of South Carolina is pur-

The State of South Carolina is pur-
suing a very foolish policy in regard
to banks. We notice that Comp
troller General Jones is instructing
county auditors that bank stock
must be assessed at its true value in
money" Why this discrimination?
No other class of property pays taxes
on anything like it's true value in
money, and the time will come and
that soon when the banks will not
submit to such gross discrimination
against them. We believe in a square
deal for corporations as well as in
dividuals, and it is outrageous to re-
quire banking institutions to pay
three times as much taxes in proper
ton as do individuals. All property
should be taxed equally.

If Governor Ansels administration
should not be remembered for any

of qualification to the law-abidiIg
people of the State that he used the

of pardons as a usual thing, and
never have we signed petition for
executive clemency, but we think the
governor was exactly right in pardon
ing Timer, of Spartanburg.

Tallahassee, Fla, April ia
number of important bills were in
troduced in the lower house of the
Florida legislature to-day, among
them being one by Representative
Tidwell, of Jackson, to provide for
lower passenger fares on railroads
within the State and one by Repre-
sentative Alexander, of Volusia, pre-
scribing fixed rates for transmission
of kilograms within the State. It'd
wells rate bill provides for a passen-
ger rate of two and three-quarter
cents per mile on all roads in the
State.
Knowingly to charge or accept a
higher rate than that prescribed is
made a misdemeanor punishable by
fine or Imprisonment.
Alexandria's telegraph bill pre-
scribes rate of not more than 25
cents for any message of 10 words

Small pox has broken out in sew
eral towns of this State, and it
would be well for the people of BAN
berg to look after the matter of vac
cination. We had few cases of
this disease here several years ago,
which cost the town considerable
money, and another such experience
as this should be avoided. The only
way to prevent it is to have every
body vaccinated, and yet there are
lots of people here who are not vac
cinated. AN ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure"

SUMTER BAKER KILLED.
German Named Voight Shot Down by
his Father-in.LaW.

Sumter, April 10.-Mr. A. G.
Voight, proprietor of the New York
bakery, was killed about II O'Clock
to-day by his father-in-law, Mr.. W. F.
Flake. Voight was shot in the right
chest with a single barrel shotgun
while he was attempting to enter the
home of his father-in-law, after haV-
ing been warned not to do so. The
shooting was done at close range and
death resulted instantly.
Immediately after the tragedy Mr..
Flake surrendered himself to Officer
Tribble, of the police force, and was
locked up in the city guard house and
later on transferred to the county
Jail.
Mr.. Flake talked freely to a num-
Der of persons and says that while he
regrets the tragedy, he feels that he
was forced 10 kill Voight in order to
save his own life.
The deceased, who was a German,
came to this city about 1S months
ago as a baker in the employ of the
Sumter bakery. Later he bought the
business and changed the name to
the New York. bakery. About six
months ago he married daughter
of Mr.. w. F. Flake, and soon after
his marriage he began beating and
| i'll treating her. This seems to have
become a well-known fact and neith-
er pleadings nor remonstrance, it is
alleged, had any effect towards i'm
proving his conduct. This morning
he met his wife on Dugan street and
it is said slapped and cursed her. She
then went to her father, asking that
he do something to protect her, as
she was very much afraid OF her hus-
band.
Mr.. Flake then went before Re-
corder Hurst and swore out a war
rant for 'Voight, charging him with
assault. The warrant was served by
Officer Weeks, Voight putting up a
bond of $40. Soon after this Mr..
Flake was standing in front of the
Farmers Bank and Trust Company
when Voight rode up on bicycle and
stopping on the edge Of the sidewalk
said: You got a warrant for me,
did you?" Mr.. Flake replied that he
had, when Voight, it is said, making
some threat, rode off. Mr.. Flake
went on to his home, and soon saw
Voight approaching. He went to the
front porch and warned Voight not
to come to the house, but Voight, he
claims, would not heed him. The
warning was repeated several times,
without effect, and as Voight reached
the second step Flake fired, killing
him instantly.
Coroner Flowers soon empanelled a
jury and they rendered verdict that
Andrew G. Voight come to his death
from a gunshot wound inflicted by a
gun in the hands of w. F. Flake.
Mr.. Voight had no relatives in
Sumter except his wife. His body was
turned over to the Craig Furniture
Company for preparation for burial
and will be held while efforts are be-
ing made to communicate with his
relatives in New York.
Mr.. Flake has held responsible
position with the Sumter Telephone
Manufacturing Company for some
time and he has a reputation for be-
ing a quiet, peaceable citizen. Eff
forts will probably be made next
week before Judge Gary to secure
bail for Mr.. Flake.
