TIMES OF that new-found world tiow-
cred out In the loneliness OF their con-
summation.
There Is yet one happiness In the
life OF Irving that must not be forgot
ten-I mean that he was permitted 10
enjoy while living. in all its ampli-
-tude and without deduction, his world
wide reputation So cheerful, so
unanimous recognition OF contem-
porary merit has, perhaps. never been
witnessed. Success, fame, affiuence,
political advancement-thing rarely
forgiven TO the candidate for public
favor-raised up no enemies TO him.
No one envied his good fortune, no
one qualified his praise, no one hated,
no one maligned him.. Distraction was
melted into kindness by the angelic
loneliness of his character, and no
voice but that of respect, affection
and generation reached his ear. so
he lived and SO he died. These pos
thumous honors of commemoration
are but the echoes Of those you de-
lighted to pay him while he so1ourned
among us: and the chaplet which you
reverently place upon his grave you
wove for his living brow! What can
be added to the happiness OF such a
life and such a death?

Postmaster's Story.
j. Marion Byrd, postmaster at
Branchville, testified that he was in
his private Office by his desk on the
morning of December Is. He heard
a noise in the Office near the car
rier's window. He thought it was the
rural carriers. The clerk said it was
a fight. He hurried to the scene and
found Pearlstine and Jones in the
corner of the postofice lobby fight
ing. He asked Pearlstine not to
fight in the Office as his wife was
there. Pearlstine stopped fighting.
Mr.. Byrd said he didn't know any
thing about the beginning of the
trouble. Jones was in the corner,
with his hands up, protecting him.
self. He didn't see Jones strike any
blows. He didn't watch Jones after
parting them. Pearlstine walked
off slowly with him, apologizing for
fighting. He heard the report OF a
pistol and Pearlstine said he was
shot. He supported Pearlstine until
he caught hold of delivery window,
then he went to his wife, who was
crying in the postofice.
Saw Pearlstine on Floor.
When he looked out again Pearl
stine was lying on the floor. Mr..
Byrd said after the fight had ceased
in the corner he could not discern
anything on the part of Pearlstine to
renew the difficulty. Pearlstine
made no effort to do anything after
he was shot. He said Pearlstine was
a muscular man. Jones and Pearl
stine were about four feet apart

Orangeburg, Jan. 12.-The court
of general sessions has been engaged
to-day in the trial Of John J. Jones,
an attorney of Branchville, charged
with the murder of Abe Pearlstine,
a merchant of the same town, De-
cember Is, last in the lobby Of the
Branchville postofice. The case was
delayed until the arrival of witness
es on a train due at 1 a. m.
Upon arraignment Jones pleaded
not guilty and the jury was chosen.
The State objected to three jurymen,
while the defense objected to 10.
The jury serving on the case is COM
posed of: A. M. Whetsell, G. w.
Garick, R. N Owen, A. E. Rutland,
G. B. Smoak, R. S. Winningham, A.
D. Dempsey, ]. A. Breland, E. W.

son and j. w. Whetsell.
The counsel employed in the case
for the State are: P T. Hildebrand,
solicitor; A. H. Moss, Raysor & Sum-
mers and W. C. Martin. The defense
have Wolfe & Berry, Glaze & Her
bert, C. P. Brunson as counsel.
Heard Pistol Shot.
The first witness for the State was
DR.. J. S. Wimberly, of Branchville.
He said he heard pistol shot on
the morning of December Is. He saw
Jones run out of the postofice and
when he reached the postoflce,
Pearlstine was leaning on his arm
on the floor of the Office lobby, hol-
loing. He didn't see any one in the
postofice when he first got there. He
went back to his drug store across
the street and returned. He did
not examine Pearlstine until he held
the autopsy over the body that day.
He said that Pearlstine came to his
death by pistol shot wound, which
entered the stomach, severing the
abdominal aorta or big artery. Death
resulted almost Immediately. From
point of entrance of pistol ball, Pearl
stine must have been standing at an
angle to Jones. DR.. Wimberly said
that Pearlstine was about five feet
eight inches high, about 35 years
of age and weighed about 180
pounds. He was corpulent for his
height. Jones was bare-headed
when he saw him and had blood on
his face. There were no powder
stains on his coat or body.

at the time of the shooting and moth
| ing was said at that time. He said
he had known Pearlstine all his life
and that he was blind in one eye.
When They Were Separated.
On cross-examination Mr.. Dukes
said Pearlstine spoke first and struck
Jones. Jones had his head down and
Pearlstine was striking at him when
the postmaster separated them. All
happened in a short while and Jones
had blood on his face. Said Pearl
stine was reading when Jones came
in.
w. P. Appleby was the first wit
ness for the defense. He testified
that he heard the shot and went out
in that direction and saw Jones with
pistol in his hands. Jones told
him he had shot Pearlstine and that
please go to the postoffice and get
his hat. Said he found Jones's hat
in corner of the lobby and Pearl
stine was lying on the floor, still
breathing, but couldn't speak.
J. w. Sheriff, a lumber man, testi-
fed that he was in the postofice
writing letter when Pearlstine and
Jones came in. He heard Pearlstine
ask Jones to read a letter several
times and saw Pearlstine strike
Jones. He didn't remember Jones
having said anything. Pearlstine
struck Jones 10 or IL times. The
blows were very hard. Jones was
very bloody. Jones didn't strike any
blows. He saw the postmaster come
out and Pearlstine was beating Jones
then, until parted by the postmaster.
AS soon as Jones-got out of the cor
ner he walked toward the front door.
All in Short Time.
Pearlstine was walking in same
direction and was three steps from
Jones when Jones turned and fired.
The postmaster was a little behind
Pearlstine at that time. All took
place in a short time. They were
facing each other when the shot was
fired. He didn't see any effort on
the part of Pearlstine to strike Jones
after the postmaster parted them,
but he didn't know what was in their
hearts. He didn't hear anything
said by Pearlstine or the postmaster
to attract Jones's attention after
Jones started out of the postoftice.
Jones wheeled around and shot
Pearlstine. He didn't know whether
or not Pearlstine saw Jones, but they
were facing each other. He didn't
see any weapon on Pearlstine.
DR.. M. G. Salley, physician, testi-
fed that he attended Jones after the
shooting and used stitch to close
up a cut over the eye. Evidence
was plain that Jones had received
five licks he said, which appeared to
be fist wounds. He didn't consider

ticed blood on Jones's forehead.
Jones was bareheaded when seen.
The affair took place between 9:45
and 10 a. m. on the morning of De-
cember Is, 1910.
Earl Smoak, a clerk in the post
Office said he was sitting at the gen
eral delivery window and he told the
postmaster there was a fight going
on in the postoffice lobby. He could
not see the fight and didn't know
whom it was. He walked around to
the postmaster's door and he saw
Pearlstine talking with the postmas-
ter and Jones walking off. Just be-
fore Jones got to the postof1ce door
he pulled a pistol and fired. Pearl
stine said he was shot. Jones and
Pearlstine were eight or ten feet
apart when the shot was fired.
Pearlstine was not looking at Jones
when Jones shot.
The witness said he was nearer to
Jones than to Pearlstine when the
shot was fired. Jones took the pistol
out of his hip pocket. Pearlstine
come into the postofice first, then
Jones came in. The witness heard
Pearlstine tell Jones to read pa
per three times. When he went out
of the postoffice into the lobby Pearl
stine was striking Jones. All hap
pened very quickly and in short
time. He noticed blood on Jones
face.
Pearlstine Struck First.
Clifton Dukes was the last witness
for the State. He said he was at the
money order window to get money
order when Pearlstine came in. Then
Jones came in. Pearlstine showed
Jones letter and asked him to read
it three times. The third time Pearl
stine struck Jones in the face with
his fist. Jones didn't read the paper,
but pushed it off. There was a
scramble and fight after Pearlstine
struck Jones. Pearlstine was be-
tween Dukes and Jones, he said, and
he didn't see Jones strike Pearlstine.
The postmaster came out and sepa-
rated them. No one was knocked
down during the scuffle. After part
ing, Jones walked toward the front
door and Pearlstine was apologizing
to the postmaster for fighting in his
wife's presence. Pearlstine picked
his hat up from the floor and was
walking slowly along with the post
master and reached the general de-
livery window when the pistol fired.
Pearlstine was looking toward the
postmaster and could not see Jones
Pearlstine cried, ''He has killed me.
Goodbye, goodbye" Jones was
about nine feet from Pearlstine when
he fired. There was no fight going on
