ORANGEBURG'S PROBATE JUDGE.
BIease Petitioned to Hold Up Com
mission OF \. c. Dibble.

Columbia, April 14.-Governor
Blease was today asked to hold up the
commission of Andrew G. Dibble, the
newly elected Judge of probate OF
Orangeburg county, on the ground
that the act creating the office of mas
ter for that county devolYed the duties
upon the judge of probate and that
this act is unconstitutional 4 strong
constitutional argument was submit
ted. Governor Blease mas not yet been
called upon to issue the commission
in the case Of the new judge OF pro-
bate, so there was no action for him
to take
By an act Of 1890 the office of master
was abolished in Orangeburg, and the
duties devolved upon the judge OF
probate.
Two reasons are assigned as to why
the act is unconstitutional.
l. That the legislature sought to en-
large the Jurisdiction Of the probate
court and to increase the powers of
the probate judge, as such which is
defined and specified in the constitG-
ton which can neither be enlarged
nor diminished by the legislative pow
er of the State, which is itself the;
creature Of the constitution and con-
trolled by the provisions Of that in
strument which constitutes the fun
damental law.
2. That the act which creates and
nominates the special referee creates
an Office and defines the public du-
ties and powers of that office and pro-
vides as compensation for the perfor-
nance of those duties BY the special
referee certain fees and provides fur
ther that the probate Judge of Orange
burg county, a constitutional officer,
shall perform the duties of the office
Of special referee, and to collect GER
tain fees therefor, thereby authorlz-
ing and directing that one officer col
leet the fees of each Office as compen-
sation for the performance Of those
public duties and powers distinct and
separate, the one from the other con-
trary to the constitution of the State,
Of 1895.
In addition to these reasons the
whole matter is fully gone into.

From Late Judge Dantzler.


In the list of papers connected with
this case is one of a unique nature.
It is from the late Judge Charles G.
DAIMLER, and, in measure, excuses
the taking of human life, or mitigates
the sentence, in the judges opinion,
for the applying of mere words.
Just before the tragedy, Judge
Dantzler writes, Walter Mills, speak
ing to Rochester, applied the word
"dirty" and another worse word to
the wife of the defendant. No words
can excuse the taking of human life,
says Judge Dantzler, but this circum-
stance should have great weight in
the exercise of executive clemency.
Wanted to Kill Two More?
Another remarkable document is the
following affidavit from W. NJ. Kay,
sheriff of Oconee county, who on oath
says: earl Rochester, while in jail
for the killing Of Walter Mills, told
him he hoped to live long enough to
get out of the penitentiary; that there
were two more men that he wanted

to.
There have been numerous petitions
in this case. Once in 1909, juryman
wired from Nebraska that he would
sign the petition for clemency.
Senator Earle's Opinion.
Senator Earle, of Oconee, writes,
that: mills was passing along a
neighborhood, where Rochester was
at work, going for cabbage plants. As
he returned, Rochester having his gan
in the field walked few steps to-
ward him and shot him dead in the
road. One woman was an eyewitness.
The evidence pointed indisputably' to
a deliberate killing Senator Earle
does not recommend clemency.
Rochester was convicted in 1905, but
was granted new trial by the su-
preme court and was again convicted
in April, 1905. There were numerous
ly signed petitions for Rochester1s
pardon. The solicitor, Mr.. Julius
Boggs, did not recommend clemency.
The governor today paroled Rochester
during good behavior.
Cherokee Negro Won't Hang.
Governor Blease today commuted
the sentence of a negro in Cherokee
county who had killed white man.
Governor Blease himself mentioned
the incident as rather unusua1.
The negro, who was to have hanged,
but whose sentence today was COM
muted to life Imprisonment by Gov
ernor Blease, is from Cherokee, and
was convicted of the killing of Rob-
ert Davidson. The negro's name is
Luther CORY.
Senator Halls Version.
Senator W. S. Hall points out the
circumstances as follows: That the
negroes we're having Thanksgiving
celebration at one of their churches;
that the white men came in and ming
! led with the negroes. All the white
men had guns and liquor; of the white
men, Davidson and Jim Hayes were on
bad terms; some of the negroes were
armed; another white man and the
negro Luther CORY got into scrap
and Corry's gun was taken away and
Davidson drew a gun on CORY at this
time. The long and short of it was
that a general mix-up followed. On
trial the jury acquitted the white
man, Hayes, and found one Gather
and Amos Byers guilty of manslaugh-
ter. Cory was found guilty of muir
der. Senator Hall does not think the
negro should hang and requested the
governor to act.
Commutafon-Paro
Governor Blease today commuted to
a fine of 500 or twelve months at
hard labor, the sentence of $500 fine
or twelve months at hard labor, inn
posed at Laurens ty Judge Watts last
month on T. S. Johnson for adultery.
Governor Blease today paroled Ro-
land and James Waites, white, sent
to the reformatory by Judge Mem
minger, sitting at Columbia in Sep
tember in 1905, for larceny and given
ter years each.
Two Petitions Refused.
Pardon was refused to Andrew J.
Gosnell, OF Spartanburg, sentenced by
