DON'T UNDERSTAND PARDON.
Charleston Mans Views on Pardon
ing of NeI Criss.

That the people Of Charleston do
not understand why Ned Criss, who
is described as bad negro, was par
doned. by. Gov ernor 'Blease. was the
statement made at Columbia Tuesday
by John Ahrens, member Of the State
pension board from Charleston. Mr..
Ahrens, in talking about the case,
explained that Criss killed E. H. Old
enberg, an old German merchant OF
Charleston, in most brutal man
ner. The way the crime was COM
mitted, as he recalled it, was that
Criss called to Mr.. Gutenberg to go
to the store and get something for
him for his sick child. AS the old
mans head was bent over the sugar
barrel the negro hit him in the
head, taking off part Of the back OF
the skull. The crime was a very
brutal one, and Mr.. Ahrens says he
doesn't see how the negro could be
pardoned. In the pardon petition it
was urged that Criss was not the ne
gro who did the killing.

While standing under a large oah

bow in his arms, Y. H. Evern, ne
gro, who lives near Hobbysville, near
Spartanburg, was struck by lightn-
ing. Both the negro and the boy
were instantly killed. A peculiar
feature of the tragedy was that nc
marks whatever were left on the
body of the boy, but the father was
badly mutilated. All metal about
his person was completely melted;
the buttbns on his ioveralls were
melted off and a pocket knife show
ed signs of the current. Another
negro, about one hundred yards dis
tant, saw the stroke, and when ne
arrived at the side of the negro both
were dead. 1t is thought that death
