QUIET SUNDAY FOR

LOS ANGELES. Cal, April 3o.-No
word has yet been received here direct
from Clarence Darrow. the Chicago at
torney, that he would undertake the de-
fense OF John and James Mcnamara,

accused dynamite conspirators said today
they were therefore at sea regarding
possible acquiescence In an early ar
raignment OF the prisoners.
Labor leaders here do not want the
men arraigned until Darrow is on the
ground. and the best information they
had today was that Darrow. instead Of
coming here personally. had sent a con-
tidential representative to look over the
situation before he would agree To ac-
ceDt the position OF chief counsel.
In consequence the arratgnment. schcd-
uled TO occur not later than Wednesday,

delay, as IL Is understood that he is not

erable business was shaped up with

afternoon. ii was agreed that opposition

whose progressive policies had been
clearly established, should be named
for the place of caucus chairman and
minority leader. However at a second
conference of prOgressives later in the
afternoon the election of Mr.. Martin
was conceded. 1t had been agreed at
the first meeting that the names OF
either Senators Culberson or Stone
should he presented in the Democratic
caucus in opposition to Mr.. Martin.
The Texas and Missouri senators re-
fused to allow the presentation of their
names. This might have rad the effect
of bursting the bubble of opposition to
the Virginian. William j. Bryan eN-
planned at the White House that he
was not opposed to the election of Sen
ator Martin as a minority leader Of
the senate, but said that he would per-
sonally not have voted for Senator
Martin if he were member of the SEN
ate. Mr. Bryan spent almost an hour
with President Taft, and met num-
ber of the members Of the cabinet. He
refused to say what subject he had

BATTLE WITH BURGLAR.

Joe Sumter, negro apparently about
25 years of age, was brought to York
vile by Constable j. F. Wingate of
Rock Hill last Sunday afternoon and
committed to jail on the charge of
housebreaking and assault and battery
with intent to kill.
When committed, the negro was suf-
fering from pistol shot wounds in his
wrist and left breast, and these wounds
Constable Wingate explained to the re-
porter were received in battle with
Mr. ]. L. Sowell, and a Mr.. Wilson in
Rock Hill last Saturday night at about
II o'clock. 1t was a case Of being
caught in an attempt to commit a
burglary and In the pistol battle that
followed, Mr. Sowell was also painful
fully shot, bullet from the negro's
pistol passing through his appendix.
Sumter was not inclined to talk.
When questioned by the reporter, he
writhed as If in much pain, and said
he did not know how 1t happened-his
pistol just went off before he knew 1t;
he was not trying to hit anybody. He
admitted that he had his pistol in his
hand, and claimed that he did not fire
until he had been fired upon; but when
asked why he was there and what he
had the pistol along for, his wounds
could only give vent to impatient
grunts. 1t was clear that he did not
want to talk and that he had no in
tention of doing so.
Mr.. Wingate gave the reporter the
facts as he had gathered them. Mr..
Sowell, who runs a bottling plant, had
discovered that his safe was being rob-
bed, and had been watching for several
nights in the hope Of catching the thief.
On Saturday night, his brother. Mr..
J. L. Sowell, who is in the brick bus
mess at Catawba Junction went on
guard duty in company with a Mr..
Wilson. Everything was quiet until
about u o'clock, when they saw the
way, unlocking the SAFE They chal-
lenged the negro and he at once COM
menced shooting, hitting Mr.. Sowell as
stated. Both of the white men return
ed the fire and the negro escaped after
having been hit twice.
Attracted by the noise Of the shoot
ing officers at once rushed to the
scene; but the negro had already made
his escape and he was not located un-
til next morning. 1t Is thought that
he laid out during the night. regardless
of his wounds, in the hope Of keeping
beyond the reach of the officers.
MT. SOWell was taken 10 the noSpltdi
at once and his wound received i'm
mediate attention. The doct, con-
sidered that while the wound wt.. quite
serious, 1t would not necessarily prove
fatal. 1t Is not thought that the wound
of the negro is serious.
Sumter, it seems came from Charles
ton, and has been in the employ Of Mr..
Sowell for two or three years. 1t Is re-
ported that Mr.. Sowell caught him
stealing from the safe once before, but
did not see proper to prosecute the
case, and the understanding Is that
when the recent thefts were discover
&c, suspicion at once centered on this
same negro az the guilty party.

DEALT IN FINE CHICKENS.

Mr.. j. +. Wingate, constable for
Magistrate Beckham of Catawba town
ship and known in Rock Hill as tine
sheriff." is one Of the most alert and
successful thief takers in the county,
If not in the state. He Is always ON
the job" and generally gets there with
his man.
A characteristic incident recently.
was the capture of a negro chicken
thief, who had been doing quite a
thriving business In the town and
community with his stolen wares.
There was no warrant for the thief,
Indeed there had been no specific COM
plaint against him. The constable
merely followed his seemingly uner-
ring instinct as thief taker, ran
down his man and proved his case:
1t seems that the negro had beeh
peddling chickens about Rock Hill lot
some time. He generally came to town
early, soon after sun-up. and the
of the finest strains. These facts
connected with the additional TACT
that sometimes the negro was OF
fering chickens Of one fine breed ana
sometimes another, aroused Mr.. VIM
gates suspicious. He could not exact
" figure out how a negro without Vlsi-
BILE means Of support could have such
an abundant supply of extra fine poul-
try.
one day recently, the negro showed
up with half a dozen prize taking whlte
Plymouth Rocks. When Constable
Wingate saw him, he had already SOLD
four. Mr.. Wingate asked the negro
where he had gotten the chickens. He
told two or three stories and finally
settled down on the statement tnat
they had been raised by his sister,
whose name he gave and who lives
some distance from town.

Not altogether satisfied, Constable
Wingate. put the negro in the lookup,
and hiring turnout, went to see the
sister. He found the woman at her
home. sick in he'd: but when he asked
her about the chickens. she promptly
declared that she had no chickens of
the kind described, and furthermore
that she had not gotten her brother to
sell any chickens for her during the
past few days, nor at any other time.
With a little further labor on the
case, Mr.. Wingate finally succeeded in
running down the probable ownership
of the chickens. After that he went
back to Rock Hill and had another in
terview with the negro. Although he
had lain in the lookup for some hours,
the negro still insisted that the chick
ems belonged to his sister. Then the
constable told about having visited the
sister and about her denial Of having
gotten him to sell any chickens for her.
The negro then told where he had got
ten the chickens and confirmed the
constables previously established sur
mise that they were part OF lot that

them over to DR.. Fennell. The negro
