Mr.. w. w. Ball, who has been edi-
torial writer on the News and Cou-
rier for several years, has left The
Courier and gone on the staff of the
Columbia State. Mr.. Ball is one of
the ablest newspaper men in the
State, a cracking good all-round
writer as well as a first-rate para
grapher, and is a fine fellow in every
way. We congratulate The State on
securing his services.

It seems that we are developing a
race of murderers and assassins in
South Carolina in these piping times
of peace. The number of people
killed from ambush in the lower part
Of the State during the past year or
so is record like unto that Of the
mountain feuds of Kentucky. HUI
man life evidently gets cheaper every
day.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-06-10

There is still room in Bamberg
for more good citizens. Those who
are looking for a good town in
which to locate would do we'll to in
vestigate the advantages of Bam-
berg before making choice. We
people in Bamberg believe we have
the best town in the low country,
and we'll show you if interested.

reaches Savannah, where he has an
uncle, who gave him refuge before.
All towns between Denmark and
Savannah have been notified to be
on the lookout for him as well as
the police of Savannah. The mayor
of Denmark has offered a reward of
$4,000 for his capture, and to this
the governor of the State will doubt
less add another hundred. The de-
scription of the criminal as given in
the circular announcing the reward
offered by Mayor w. S. Cooper is as
follows:
lone hundred dollars reward will
be paid for the arrest of Isadore
Stevens, alias Isadore Nimmons,
alias Isadore Hartzog.. He is gin
ger-cake colored negro, nineteen or
twenty years old, five feet, five
inches high, weight 140 pounds.
Stammers in talking. Has black
SPOT on left cheek. Wanted for muir
der. The above reward will be paid
for his delivery to w. S. Cooper,
Mayor, Denmark
One of the saddest features in con-
nection with the brutal murder of
Mr.. Nix, is the fact that after years
of hard work and self-denial in an
effort to give his children those ad-
vantages of education, which he him
self had been denied, two of his
daughters had just graduated from
Winthrop College with honors, and
Just as his hopes and plans in re-
gard to the welfare and future of his
family were about to be realized,
pistol in the hands Of an ignorant,
half-breed negro, whose proper
place was on the chaingang for the
crimes he had previously committed,
ended his earthly labors. A son six
teen years of age is left upon whom
will devolve the duties Of father to
the stricken family.
A peculiar and striking co-inci-
dence in connection with the crime
as related by Mrs. Nix, is the fact
that a clock which had been running
for a long time without trouble was
found to have stopped at exactly five
minutes past seven on the morning
of the murder, just at the time when
word was brought that Mr.. Nix had
been shot.
1t is only a matter of a few days,
at the most, when the negro will be
captured, as the whole countryside is
aroused and the very moment that he
touches a spot where the telegraph
or telephone penetrates his taking is
certain.
The body of Mr.. Nix was inferred
in the old Salem burying ground
Sunday afternoon, the funeral being
one of the largest ever witnessed in
this county.

No, no, we have not gone back to
the days of barbarism in South Car
olina, as one would think to read OF
the murders and assassinations in
this State recently. These things are
only evidences of our boasted twen-
tieth century civilization.

Later.

A rumor gained circulation in
Bamberg Tuesday morning to the
effect that Stevens had been cap
tured at Kline, a small station on
the Southern Railway below Barn
well, but upon investigation proved
to be without foundation. T..
Governor Ansel is keeping in
touch with the situation by long
distance telephone and insists that
he be kept informed from time to
time of the progress of the search.
He has added another $4,000 re-
ward to that offered by Mayor
Cooper, of Denmark, and on Tues
day telegraphed Magistrate ssRay,
at Denmark, as follows: u.
IF Isadore Stevens is arrested, do
everything in your power to pre-
vent violence and have him turned
over to Sheriff Hunter"

POLICE DIFFER
IN STORIES AT
CONBOY TRIAL
Defense Will Attempt to Show
Former Police Captain Was
Not intoxicated
Witnesses Say Bernard Laga1
had Coat Partly Off When
He Was Shot

A peculiar turn was given the case of
Michael Joseph Conboy.. former police
captain. yesterday, when il was an
nounced by his attorneys that a de-
fense would be presented in his behalf
al the preliminary hearing now in prog
ress in Police Judge Weller's court on
The murder charge against Conboy
growing out of his shooting of Bernard
Lagan in June.
The prosecution closed its case yes
aerday and Attorney Joseph Dunno
ssked for q continuance until Monday
afternoon.
That the defense viii attempt to show
that Conboy was not drunk at the time
he shot Lagan and that the shooting
was provoked by an attempt on La gan's
part to attack or rob the police captain
was made clear by the trend of cross
examination conducted yesterday by
Dunno.
POLICE WITNESSES DISAGREE
Another feature OF the hearing that
caused decided comment yesterday was
the direct contradiction in the testf-
mony OF several policemen.
Police Sergeant Philip E. FRAZIER cor
roborated the testimony Of witnesses
previously examined by asserting that
Conboy was very drunk on the night of
the shooting and that at the central
emergency hospital he denied having
shot Lagan. The other policemen ex-
amined did not admit having heard this
statement.
DR.. John r. Clark. who performed the
autopsy on Lagan's body. testified as to
the course OF the bullet and said that
the shooting caused death.
III
seeing the shooting from the corner of
Fillmore and Ellis streets. He said
Conboy was leaning against the lamp
post east Of Fillmore street in Ellis
and when he slipped TO the sidewalk
two men came up and one of them
stopped and helped him to his feet.
Policeman Louis II. Nye said that he
had found Conboy few minutes before
the shooting and that his superior was
in a STOPPING position near the lamp
post. He saluted and Conboy told him
TO go and get cab.
PISTOL IN CONBoY'S POCKET
Nye walked to Fillmore and Eddy
streets where he joined Policeman
Maurice O'Dowd They heard the two
shots and Nye rushed up behind Conboy
and disarmed him. taking the revolver
from his pocket. He went with Police
man Charles Galivan and Conboy to
the hospital and said that Conboy ap-
peared to be sick"
ODowd testified that when Lagan
was on the sidewalk his right arm was
entirely out Of his coat sleeve and that
his left arm was only in the sleeve a
few inches
Policeman Emil Hearn. who was in
plain clothes. arrived at the scene al
most Immediately after the shooting.
He declared that Lagan's coat was en-
tirely off and that he heard Conboy say
of Lagan. He tried TO rob me-"
Police Sergeant FRAZIER met Conboy
at the central emergency hospital.
Conboy said: Il didn't shoot that boy;
I didn't harm a hair of his head" ac-
cording to the witness. FRAZIER also
said that Conboy was under the infiu-
ence Of liquor
