KILL GIRL IN JEALOUS RAGE.
Enraged Because She Accepted At.
tentions From Another.

Crazed by jealousy, Ed J. Brazell,
a white cotton mill operative, forty
two years old, shot and killed Carrie
Belle Duncan, a sixteen-year-old girl,
in the presence Of Brazells sick wife,
Thursday morning.
Before the man could reload the
single barreled shotgun and turn the
weapon on himself, his wife, though
weak and feverish from illness, wres-
tied with him and prevented him
from accomplishing his purpose. Of
6cers soon arrived and placed Brazell
under arrest.
Brazell and his wife and the dead
girl and her family lived in the same
tenement house. He was enamored
with the girl and was insaneiy jeal-
Gus because of her alleged acceptance
of attentions from another man.
While the Duncan girl was in the
room with the wife and just after
she prepared breakfast for the Bra
zells, the husband seized gun and
blew the girls brains out.
The wife is prostrated and Brazell
refuses to talk, although letters
found in his pocket stated that he
loved the girl, was jealous of other
men and that he intended to kill her
and end his own life.

KILLED BY ENGINE
UNKNOWN Man FATALLY HURT
BY LOCOMOTIVE.
Died ct the Union Station at Colum-
bia as the Train that Struck Him
Pulled In.

The State says unknown and ap-
parently far from nome, a young
white man, about 81 years Of age,
was sruck by a south-bound passen-
ger train Of the Southern railway,
coming from Charlotte, near
Chappels, Richland county, Thurs
day morning and was fatally injured.
He was brought to Columbia, but
death came as the train rolled into
the union station.
Acting in the absence Of r. D..
Walker, coroner, Jas. H. Fowles,
magistrate investigated the case anu
deemed and inquest unnecessary. It
is alleged that the unfortunate man
was sitting on the crossties, seem
ing asleep when passenger train No.
35 rounded a curve and struck him.
He never regained consciousness. His
skull was fractured and left leg brok-
en-.
The dead man left little clue as to
his identity. He was dressed in a
pair Of blue oyeralls with a black
coat, and carried as mis- only baggage
a small bundle Of underwear. On
the inside of his coat collar was the
name III. M. Lewis, Staunton, Va"
The name was sewed on a little tag,
and was evidently the firm from
whom the coat was bought The un-

SLIPPED On PEEL OF BANANA.
May Result h Gripping for Life OF
Man Who Stepped on It.

The Greenville Piedmont says tes-
timony to the fact that the city ordi-
nance against the throwing Of ba-
mana peelS on the sidewalks Of the
city's streets is not enforced as it
should be, and that failure to en-
force the law puts pedestrians in a
precarious situation is borne by a
sad incident that occurred recently,
barely falling to cause death to a
Greenville resident.
Mr.. Robert Nash, e man who has
lived here for about eleven months,
having come here from Virginia,
was walking down Main street near
the postof1ce building a week ago.
Near the corner Of Main and Broad
streets he slipped on a banana peel
and fell to the sidewalk, the base Of
his spine striking the pavement. The
foot that stepped upon the peeling
went high into the air and he SUI
fered hard fall.
Persons on the street came to the
aid Of MI. Nash and he was taken
to the Salvation Army citadel where
he was given medical attention and
Dr.. Black and Brown have been at
tending him since. 1t was found
that the base Of Nash's spine was
fractured and that the nerves were
badly deranged.
Nash has suffered terrible pains
and it is likely that he will never
walk again. The attending physician
said that the injuries may heal, but
the chances are that he will never
again have the use Of his limbs.
His legs have been numb and feeling
less since the fall. 1t is thought that
the break in the spine will heal but
hat his nervous system will never
5e whole again and that this will
prevent further use Of the legs.
Nash is young man and rather
tall and it is believed that his height
made the fall more serious. 1t is
thought that if it had been an old
mean to suffer the fall death would
have resulted. However, Nash, be
ing young man, the wounds will
rot. it is thought, prove fatal.

ence to the present low price Of cot

alleged to be at work holding the
price down.
He read q newspaper interview
with the Attorney General of the
United States, touching upon pos
sible prosecution by tho government
Of cotton bears" holding the price
Of cotton so low.
The judge charged that it would
be the duty Of the grand jury to in
vestigate such conditions, if any are
found in the southern district of
Georgia. He said that it would not
be necessary for any instructions to
be received from the Attorney Gen
eral before that body could proceed

WARM ROAST FOR TAFT
IDAHO EXECUTIVE INDIGNANT
AT MANS PARDON.
Attorney General Wickersham's
Agents Usurp Functions Of Reg
u1ar officials in State Of Idaho

Governor Hawley, Of Idaho, Wed
nesday gave out at Boise a signed
statement, addressed to the people
Of Idaho, in which he condemns the
action of President Taft in granting
a pardon Wednesday to Clarence W.
Robnett, bookkeeper in the Lewis
ton National Bank of Lewiston, Ida
no. He was convicted of embezzling g
funds of the bank and was sentenced
in the federal court at Idaho Springs
to ten years Imprisonment. He nev-
er entered upon service OF his SEN
tence.
Il feel that the pardon of Robnett
is fitting sequel to the proceedings
in the United States court during the
last four years, while the special as
sistaats to tho United States attorney
general have been usurpins the func-
tions Of the United States attorney
general and his assistants and have
been running the cases in which the
United States has been interested
with high hand, regardless Of jus
tice or decency," the statement sets
forth
II am not surprised at this par
don. In fact, no act ever done in
connection with the courts Of Idaho
has brought justice more into dis
repute AID weakened the courts more
in the estimation Of our people. For
more than four years, In every i'm
portant case in which the United
States was interested, the regular
prosecuting officers have been retired
and these special assistants to the at
:crney general have been given full
control
Without the slightest interest in
our State, caring nothing for our
people, simply desirous Of establish
ing reputation in the department
of justice, these special prosecutors
have done more to injure Idaho and
retard its development since the fall
CT 1907 than all other causes COM
bined.
The injustice of this action of
President Taft, inspired without
doubt by the special prosecutors, will
long rankle in the minds OF our citi-
zsns and will inspire them with a
wholesome contempt for such dis
graceful methods.
1t Is probably unfair to severely
blame President Taft directly for this
action, as he undoubted-
~ acted on the request Of Attorney
General Wickersham, who evidently
had been IL collusion with his asso-
ciates in charge of this prosecution"

LIVED A dual LIFE
NAN PLAYED THE JEkYLL AND
HYDE ROLE FOR YEARS.
He Was a Highly Respectable Gen
tlemen by Day But Burglar and
Murderer at Night.

The trial OF Bertram G. Spencer
who is charged with numbering Miss
Martha G. Blackstone, q Springfield
Mass, school teacher, has begun.
The killing took place on March 81,
1910, but the trial has been delayed
in order that the prisoner might
be watched by alienists, for the de-
fense will be insanity of CDR.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" type.
Spencer has admitted to the police
that he was responsible fc- q series
Of hold-ups and robberies. which for
nearly two years kept the city almost
panicstricken He was known among
his aeQuaintances as an honest, hard
working young married man.
About three years ago. while en-
ployed as a railroad man, Spencer
fell in love with an attractive young
woman from a highly respected fam
lily and not long afterward they were
married and went to housekeeping.
a OaOE ndS DOAA, S1O thS SoopiC
were to all outward appearances hap
py and devoted.
Yet during all this time Spencer,
according to his statement to the po-
lice, was terrorizing the city by bold
robberies. Most Of these were COM
mitted in the early evening, so that
by o'clock he might be at home
with his little family.
On the night Of March 81, 1910,
Miss Blackstone was visiting at the
homo Of Miss Harriet Dow when a
man entered and shot both women.
Miss Blackstone was killed, but Miss
Dow was only slightly injured. After
the police had exhaused every effort
to run down the murderer and had
about lost hope, q locket which had
been found in the yard Of home
robbed several months before was
turned over to them.
The locket bore the initials ''B. G.
S." and by coincidence the only
name in the Springfield directory
with these initials was Bertram G.
Spencer. Pictures in the locket were
identified as of his wife and rela-
tive. Spencer was arrested. He ad-
the police say, every crime
laid at his door and told remark
able story of his dual personality.

Langford on the head with his gun;
and then told the girl that if she did
not say that Richard Williams had
hit Langford he would kill her, as he
had already killed two men. The
girl says she then ran home, and
went into the cotton field, about 100
yards from the scene Of the killing,
passing a colored man in wagon on
the way. The witness said that she
was afraid Of Tuten after this, and
that this was why she told Herman
Lightsey, ]. G. Bowers, and a detec-
tive, in the penitentiary, that Will
liams had struck the blow.
The witness said that after she
had been taken to the penitentiary
she told several men that Tuten had
killed Langford. She stated that Tu>
ten had been intimate with her for
three or four years. but that the ne
gro, Richarde Williams, had never
made any improper remarks to her.
1t was brought out on cross-e1am-
nation by Mr.. Welch that at the
coroner's inquest, a few days after
the killing, Mary Harris swore that
Williams had struck the fatal blow
with a stick. The witness admitted
having made this statement at the
inquest. 1t was shown that she had
made similar statements to Mr. Dowl-
ing. Mr.. Harter, Mr.. Gray. and in the
oenitentiary to Capt. Roberts, Mr..
Griffith, Dr. Butler and members Of
the penitentiary board.
Some testimony was also brought
cut that Mary Harris had told sew
eral men that Richard Williams had
been Intimate with her. Tie witness
admitted having tcld J. P. Bowers il
the Hampton Jail that no one struck
Langford but that he had died from
natural causes. In addition it was
shown that the woman had told the
solicitor at the penitentiary that Tu-
ten had never been inmate with her.
The girl testified that LargHord had
been attentive to her for about two
years.
Three negroes were placed upon
the stand in order to throw light up
on the whereabouts Of Richard Will
,,.ams at the time Of the killing. E.
". Rouse testified that on the morn
ing Of November 90, as he was driv-
