HUB EVANS WON'T Be TRIED.
At LEAST NOT DURING COMING
NEWBERRY COURT.
state will Ask for Further POSTPONE
ment in Case of Former Dispcnsary
Chairman Charged with Accepting
Enthusiastically Grounds of Mo-
ton for Continuance That Cir
cumstanccs Have Changed Com
plcXiOn of Case.

Columbia, June 6.-That Hub"
Evans will not be tried at the ap-
preaching term of court in Newberry
is the definite information Sc
cured here tonight. Stories out of New
berry were to the effect that Evans
may not be tried, but the information
secured by this correspondent is the
first authorized statement that the
case of the chairman of the dispen-
sary board will not be concluded at
this term of the court of General
Sessions for Newberry.
Evans is under indictment, charged
with accepting rebates while he was
a member of the board. The indict-
ment was handed out last summer.
1t Is learned that the State will not
go TO trial in this case. A continu-
ance will be sought. One Of the
grounds will be the allegation that the
death OF G.. II. Charles has changed
the complexion Of the case and the
State cannot go to trial at this time.
Attorney General Lyon was asked
about the matter this afternoon. He
had no statement to make for publi-
cation. The statement was so.ght
from Mr.. Lyon following a confer
ence he had with Solicitor f. A.
Cooper. Solicitor Cooper was asked
whether the case o. Evans would he
tried. He replied: II think not"
All positions to be taken by the
State in the request for continuance
are not known at this time, although
the Charles death will figure and
probably other matters brought to the
| attention of a Circuit Judge in the
last few days may play part.
1t is known here that Hub" Evans
seeks a trial. He stated when in the
city yesterday that he was demand
ing trial in the court, which has
been denied me, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Constitution Of both the
United States and my State guarantee
me the right to a fair, public and
speedy trial" Counsel for Evans
| stated at the last term of court in
Newberry that the indictment was
being held over Evans as a lash"
1t Is also known that Attorney Gen
eral Lyon recognizes that the de-
fendant has the right to a speedy
trial under the Constitution, but that
1T is not believed to be to the States
best interest to try the case at this
term Of court

SUMTER CONVICT PAROLED.
Governor Blease Extends Clcmency
to T.. j. Jackson.

Columbia, June Gov. Blease
this afternoon parOled, on condition
that if he at any time be convicted Of
any crime, he be committed to serve
out the sentence f. y. jackson, IF
Sumter County, who, in October, 1909.
Was convicted Of obtaining money un-
der false pretences, and sentenced to
two years. The Supreme Court re-
Gently affirmed the decision Of the
lower court. The principal plea
made as to Jackson was that he is
now insane. The testimony tended
to show insanity in the family.
The following, among others, sigu-
ed the petition: L. I. Parrott. clerk
Of Court; r. E. Wilder, auditor; B. c..
Wallace, treasurer; w. H. Epperson,
sheriff; l. c. Strauss, attorney.
Judge Of Probate Thomas E. Rich.
ardsOn endorsed the petition as fol-
lows: For the simple reason that
| do not believe E. A. jackson to be
a sane man."
The petition was presented by A
K. Sanders, chairman Of the board Of
directors Of the State Penitentiary.
There was an affidavit from the
brother Of E. A. Jackson, j. L. Jack
son, who pointed out the condition of
his brother. He said his brother was
indifferent to the charges that were
raised against him, and that when he
(J. ID and another brother went to
the Jail to see the prisoner he appear
ed displeased at their coming. The
symptoms were those of insanity, the
brother urges.
DR.. Archie China, prominent
physician of Sumter, has the follow
| ing affidavit:
That he is a practicing physician
of the county of Sumter, and has been
| for number of years; that upon the
trial of Edward A. Jackson, charged
with obtaining money under false
pretences, he testified that in his
| opinion, said Jackson, at the time al
the commission of the offense was
in his opinion, insane and did not
know right from wrong, and did not
realize what he was doing, and de-
ponent Is still of this opinion"
A like affidavit was presented from
f. NJ. Dwight, another physician, who
especially related the condition Of the
family as to mental disease.
Another medical affidavit was from
DR.. NJ. S. Kirk.
The amount involved in the case
was $50. The alleged offence took
place in 1909. A letter from Sena-
tor John II. Clifton, pointed out the
fact that nine jurors signed the Pc
tition, two could not he found and
one had moved to Seville, Fla.
