Some weeks ago the little fellow

CLAIMS ALL CREDIT
FOR THE DECISION IN THE DIS
PENSARY CASE.
Some Interesting Lights on the
Great Fight That Has Been Made
in the Now Celebrated Case.

Atlanta, April 1O.-The following
article from the Atlanta Constitu-
ton of Thursday will be very inter-
esting in South Carolina:
From reliable sources it has
been learned that the Atlanta law
firm of Anderson, Fielder, Rountree
& Wilson will receive between
$4,000 and 100000 as their fee
for their services in winning the
famous South Carolina dispensary
commission case, recently decided
in favor of clients, and involving
about $1,O00,O00 in cash on hand,
and between $2,OOO,OOO and S3,OOO,-
600 in claims.
"This will, no doubt, be the rec
ord fee in the South.
when this firm was employed in
the case it is understood they were
given a cash retaining fee Of $780,
GEO and made contract for a COM
mission of so much on the same
recovered.
AS stated already, over $780,
600 has Eeen recovered, and it is he
lieved twice this much more will be
secured through the efforts of this
leading counsel.
Colonel Thomas B. Fielder left
Tuesday for Cincinnati, from which
point he will go directly to ColGm-
bia, S. c., to take up this work
again. Associated in the case. too,
are Attorney General j. Fraser Lyon,
who receives an annual salary from
the State for his services; Attorney
w. B. Stevenson, attorney for the
commission, who also receives a
state sum for his services, and At
torney B. F. Abney, of Columbia who
was employed lin connection with
the work before the federal courts.
BY winning this case the Allan
ia firm has won one of the most
sweeping victories ever announced
from the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. A number of questions
of States rights were involved and
the decision is most far reaching in
its effects.
't1The Atlanta attorneys are being
congratulated upon their deserved
victory"

KILLING IN SUMTER
A. C. voIGHT SHOT DOWN By HIS
FATHER-IN-LAW.
The Sad Tragedy Grew Out of the
Deceased Ill Treating His Wife of
u Few Months.

/
Sumter, April 10.--A special to
The News and Courier says Mr.. A.
C. voight, proprietor of the New
York bakery, was killed about II
o'clock today by his father-in-law,
Mr.. w. F. Flake. Voight was shot
in the right chest with single bar
rel while he was attempting
to enter the home Of his father
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
looked up in the city guard house
and later on transferred to the
county jail.
Mr.. Flake talked freely to num-
Der of persons and says that while
he regrets the tragedy, he feels that
he was forced to kill Voignu IN or
der to save his own life.
The deceased, who was German,
came to this city about Is 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 we'll
known fact and neither pleading nor
remonstrance, it is alleged, had any
effect towards improving his con-
duct. 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 war
rant for Voight charging him with
assault The warrant was served by
Officer Weeks, Voight putting up a
bond of 500. Soon after this Mr..
Flake was standing in front Of the
Farmers Bank and Trust Company
when Voight rode up on a bicycle
and stopped on the edge of the side
walk 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 mis- 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
almost instantly.
Coroner Flowers soon empanelled
jury and they rendered verdict
that Andrew C.. Voight came to his
death from gunshot wound infict-
ed 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 Furni-
ture Company for preparation for
burial and will be held while ef-
forts are being 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.

He GAVE HIMSELF UP
John L. Horton, Former Broker,
Accused of Defrauding Banks and
Ranchman Out Of 100000 Seven
Years Ago, Surrender to Authori-
ties at His Home.

st. Louis, April 9.-Impelled by
love for his wife and baby girl,
John l.. Horton, for seven years a
fugitive from justice in Guatemala,
returned secretly to his home, in
Upper Alton, ILL.,, this week, and
was arrested on charge of uttering
worthless paper and defrauding
banks and ranchmen out of $780,
900. He protests innocence Of the
charge. HIS brother, Roy, also a
member of the former firm, is still
in Guatemala, and as the United
States has no extradition treaty with
that country he will be safe as long
as he remains there. Horton in
tended to surrender.
When Horton fed this country his
little daughter, Dorothy, was just
learning to walk. Since that time
she has learned to write and has
written her father two lettres each
week, begging him to come home to
see mamma" and herself. One let
ter containing the child's picture,
was on Horizons person when officers
placed him under arrest.
Il could not stand it any longer"
says Horton. 81 had to see my wife
and baby. Guatemala is 5000 miles
from Alton. was too far for them
to come and see me, and, besides,
they had no money with. which to
come, and if they had the money l
would not have let them come into
that god-forsaken country, where
fever kills. And so l did without
seeing them as long as l could and
then l decided to return and face the
music. But ! am innocent, and l
will yet be doing business again in
the stockyards."
Throughout those seven years
Mrs. Horton has refused to believe
that her -hushands-is is-Suiiity. She
declares it was the ranchmen that
stole from him and not he from the
ranchmen. She cites an instance
where he secured a loan of $4,000
on a herd of cattle in Texas. She
declares that when her husband went
to see the herd the cattlemen had
stolen all but 81. Horton was re-
leased on bond soon after his ar
rest and went to visit his mother,
in Jerseyyilla, III.
Horton and his brother, Roy, and
G. o. Hess composed the firm Of
the Horton Bros. G Hess Sommis-
sion and Mercantile Company, in the
Stockyards Exchange building, East
St. Louis. They dealt in cattle"
paper. They would buy cattle known
as feeders" in Texas and Oklaho-
ma and put them out with ranch
men and farmers to feed and fat
ten. They would borrow the money
with which to buy and feed the cat
tie from banks in East st. Louis,
giving mortgages on the cattle as
security for the loans.
When the cattle came to market
and were sold the mortgages were
paid off. 1t is alleged that seven
years ago the two Horton brothers
borrowed in the neighborhood Of
100000 on fraudulent mortgages
on cattle that did not exist and that
with the money they fled to Guata-
mala, where they vent into the dis
tilling business and failed.
