Pitched Battle on Public Highway
Near GreenvilIe, S. C.
In a pitched battle on the public
highway two miles from the village
of Mauldin, six miles below Greenville,
s. c., between posse headed by Lee
Holland, mayor of Mauldin, and Rob-
ert McAbee, and his son, Will, of Spar
tanburg county, the elder McAbee was
shot dead and Mayor Holland badly
wounded.
According to the sheriff's account of
the tragedy, the McAbees fired a pistol
shot through Hollands store as they
were driving through the village of
Mauldin, in an alleged drunken spree,
and fed. Mayor Holland organized a
posse and set out to make arrests. In
fleeing, the McAbees took the wrong
road, and while retracing their steps
were met by the posse.
Robert McAbee, it is said, opened
fire and Holland fell to the ground
pierced through the breast by pistol
ball. The posse returned the fire and
Robert MeAbee fell, his body being
penetratd by one shot and his head
by three, and expired an hour later.
Holland arose from the ground and
arrested the son, holding him until the
sheriff arrived.

FALSELY IMPRISONED.
Innocent Men Suffer From Perjury Of
German Officials.

The discovery that Ave men, who
were prominently connected with a
socialist organization and who have
been sixteen years in a penitentiary
serving sentences, are innocent of the
offense for which they were condemned
has deeply stirred public opinion in
Germany, says a Berlin dispatch.
The men were sentenced in 1895, on
the charge of perjury. They were con.
demned largely on the evidence of two
police officials who swore that the men
had testified falsely regarding the con.
duct of the police at a meeting of
working men near Essen.
1t now develops that the evidence
of the police officials was perjury.
The case places difficult question
up to the judicial authorities. Under
the German law the men are entitled
to heavy damages, and the courts nust
fix the amount due them.
