We would not cast any reflections
on Sumter for a whole lot, but we did
wonder why the alderman who press
ed the prosecution against the blind
tigers was not elected again. If he
did not run, of course, he could not
be elected, and the election Of the at
torney who prosecuted for him might
be as a reward for that excellent
work on the part of the city, or for
other reasons, we are not there and
are thankful for enlightenment. This
we do know, that being mayor now,
he cannot prosecute any more blind
tigers as an attorney. We would not
for an instant intimate that the blind
tigers ran Sumter. We know Sumter
too we'll to suppose that for an in
slant, but we like to keep informed
on these matters.--Florence Times.

PITTSBURG GRAFT CASES.
INTENSE INTEREST CONTINUES
IN INQUIDY.
Former President of Common COun-
Gill; Brought From Penitentiary,
Told What He Kncw-Bank Direc-
tors and Employees Before Grand
Jury.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 31.-William
Brand, former president of common
council, who was brought from the
penitentiary to testify before the
grand jury today, contributed his full
confession to help the graft probers
in trailing the 'men higher up"
District Attorney William A. Blake
ly said this evening that Brand had
completely given way in the grlling
day.
Il don't believe he could have suf-
fered more in years Of Imprisonment
than he has by the IVORY and humili-
alton Of the past week." said Mr.
Blakeley. Brands confession, and
that Of Charles Stewart yesterday,
leaves but one more important wit
ness to be heard, it is said, before
more sensations are public sprung.
This witness is Councilman Hugh
Ferguson, who was at the court house
today seeking opportunity to tell his
story and have done with it. The
grand jury was to busy, however, and
put him off until tomorrow.
P. b. Barnes, a former select coun-
Gilman, was mutinious when brought
up as a witness today, but was forced
60 submission by threats of commit
ment to Jail for contempt of court.
There were also more directors and
employees of banks before the jury
today, and two young women, Bes-
sic Currin and Nellie Sherlock, tele-
phone operators at the Farmers Ma
tional Deposit Bank.
Three more councilmen took the
immunity bath by pleading no de-
fence to charges Of taking bribes.
These were Samuel Poster, who ad-
mitted getting s4OO from Stewart for
his vote on the ordinance; T. o. At
kinson, who confessed taking bribes
of 500 from DR.. w. H. Weber for
his vote on street ordinance, and
$500 from Stewart, to support the
bank ordinance; and John Mozart
ney, former selectman, who said he
got $400 for his votes on both ordi-
nances.
Under threats of commitment to
Jail, fourteen of the men recently in
dicted appeared today with bonds
men, who gave bail, Of $1,000 each
for their appearance in court later.
The grand jury wip be in session
again tomorrow.
To strengthen the evidence already
obtained about the transfer of $45,-
600 to Stewart at the Hotel Imperial,
in New York, in May, 1908, for al
legged use in bribing Pittsburg coun-
cilmen to vote for the bank ordi-
nance, the grand jury is said to have
asked for the 1908 registers of sew
eral New York hotels. Handwriting
experts are to be employed, it is said,
to determine definitely what Pitts
burg men were in that city at the
time the money was paid to Stewart
1t has already been published here
that the unnamed man who paid
Stewart the money is not known to
be a banker, but zone of the most
prominent men in the entire coun-
try"
