TO PLEAD "UNWRITTEN LAW?'
No Light Thrown on Killing of Gar
land by Mrs. McCrea.

Opelousas, La, Sept. PA COM
plete cloud of mystery still sur
rounds the details of what led to the
killing of Allan T. Garland, by Mrs.
J. P. McCrea, young society woman,
in a room of her home yesterday
morning. Other than to say that she
killed young Garland to protect her
honor, Mrs. McCrea's lips are sealed
and neither she nor her husband will
discuss any phase of the case. The
district attorney said to-day he would
fight any application for bail.
The defence has not yet outlined
any definite course of action, but it is
strongly intimated that the "unwrit-
ten law" may play an important part.
The body of Garland was found be-
side an upturned chair and it is said
that the prosecution will contend that
from the direction the bullets came
indications are that Garland was shot
from behind as he sat in the chair.

BROWN STILL FUGITIVE.
Posse Continues Search for Woman's
Alleged AsSailant.

Posse Continues Search for WOman'S
Alleged Assailant.
Lake City, Sept. 23.-All day long
the people of this community have
been expecting to hear that Willie
Brown, the negro who, it is alleged,
attempted to assault a lady near
Johnsonville Sunday night, had been
captured and summarily dealt with,
but the news at o'clock last night
is that he still is at large. However,
those near the scene and ip touch
with the pursuing parties assure all
that Brown will not escape but will
be caught within forty-eight hours.
The lady is advanced in years and
lives with her mother, who is prob
ably Is years old.
The negro first attempted to enter
the window but was detected by the
lady, who fastened the shutter. He
then broke open the door and rushed
in and caught the lady, who had
risen from the bed. AS already
stated, her screams and plucky fight
ing frightened him away.
1t is now reported that Brown ear
lier on the same night assaulted two
negro women, and that two other
negro men were accessories to the
three alleged offences. Brown has a
very bad reputation but his father is
one of the best negroes in the coun-
ty.

Family Feud.

Arkansas City, Ark, Sept. 22.-1n
a lonely spot in the Arkansas woods
near Lead Hill, two brothers fought
to the death this afternoon. Reuben
Cantrell, 35 years of age, was slain
and Thomas Cantrell, 55 years OF
age, is dying. The former was shot
to death and the latter will not sur
vive q dozen knife wounds he receiv-
ed in the battle.
Leaving the body of his brother
where it had fallen, the wounaed
man walked four miles to his home
where he declared Reuben had at
tackled him with knife while he
was at work in the woods. After a
terrific struggle, Thomas secured
possession of his shotgun and killed
his antagonist. Meanwhile, Reuben
had plunged his knife many times
into his brothers body. The bat
tie was the outgrowth of a family
feud.

Posse Rescues Negro.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 30.-Ed
Houghton, negro, was rescued
from a mob at Warrior, few miles
from here, tonight by a large posse
of deputies from Birmingham and is
now in jail under strong guard. The
mob has divided into two sections
and the deputies are still doubtful
whether they will be able to reach
Birmingham with the prisoner,
though every effort will be made.
The mob took the jail keys away
from the town marshal and the dep
uties arrived just in time to prevent
them from securing the prisoner.
The negro had written an insulting
note to popular young woman at
Warrior.

PROMISES TO BE GOOD.
What One Fellow Did to Get Girl
He Wanted.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 28.-Edward
Matt, who to-day married Miss Ger
trude Ellis, sought to avoid future
domestic infelicity by filing with the
county recorder a guarantee to be as
nearly the model husband as pos
sible.
The guarantee, signed and witness
ed by a notary, promised: "She may
do as she pleases, she is free to go
and come when she likes, to go with
whom she chooses and I will not be
jealous. I will not go cunning for a
fellow because he admires her beauty
and because she smiles when he
speaks to her. I will not interfere
with any of her plans. Twill be kind
and good to her, I will give her all
nv earnings and it will be her priv
ilege to do with my income as she
likes, so long as she feeds me we'll.
"When we have a surplus and it
goes to the bank I agree not to hold
the keys; the checks may be signed
by either of us. I agree to come
home at a proper hour each night or
give her valid excuse, and I further
agree that I will let her get a divorce
if I fail to behave as kind, loving
and gentle husband" When the
guarantee had been duly placed on
record the couple sought a minister
and were married.

Blease Voted for Irby.

Columbia, Sept. 3O.-At the Red
Shirt meeting in the Columbia the
atre Wednesday night, in his ad-
dress to the followers Of Wade
Hampton of 1876, Gov. Cole L.
Blease elected great applause by his
declaration that as member OF
the house of representatives in 1890
he had voted for Wade Hampton for
senator. An examination of the
Journal of the house of representa-
J tives for that year shows that while
Mr.. Blease did vote for Hampton on
the first ballot, which was purely
formal, he voted on all succeeding
ballots for John L. NJ. Irby, who was
elected over Hampton on the seventh
ballot.
The Journal shows that in accord
ance with the federal lew each house
balloted separately for senator on
Tuesday, December g., 1890. The
vote in the house stood: For Hamp-
ton, 81; for Irby, so; for Donaldson,
SO; for J. J. Hemphill, 2; for E. S.
Keitt, 2; for G. D. Tillman, 1; for
Robert Smalls, 3. None of the can
didates received a majority, either
in the house or senate, and in accord
ance with the law, the two houses
met in Joint assembly the following
day. when the first joint ballot was
taken.
The Journal for Wednesday, De-
cember 1e, 1890, pages 221 to 22S,
shows that on this, the second bal
lot. Irby received 63 votes; Donald
son As; Hampton AZ; Hemphill 3,
and Smalls 1. Those recorded as
voting for Irby (page 222) are as
follows: Messrs. Alderman, Bissell,
Blake, Blease, Browning, Buchanan,
Buist, etc.
The third ballot, on Thursday, De-
cember II, 1890, pages 244 and 245
of the Journal, show again that
Blease voted for Irby as he did on the
other three ballots taken the same
day. On the fourth ballot of that day
December II, which was the seventh
ballot in all, Irby was elected, the
vote standing as follows: Irby lO5;
Donaldson 9; Hampton 49,; neces-
sary to choice, 70.
The record therefore shows that
while Mr.. Blease did vote for Wade
HAMPTON, on the first formal ballot,
in the house, he did not vote for
Hampton at all in the joint assembly
when the really decisive ballots were
taken, but voted for Irby each time,
six in all.
It is interesting to note that Mr..
Ira B.. Jones, then also member OF
the house, and now candidate for
governor against Mr.. Blease, voted
for Irby all the way through, having
been APPOINTED chairman of the ways
and means committee by 1rby, VINO
was then speaker, and Jones sue
ceeded Irby as speaker when 1rby re-
signed to take Hampton's place.

KILLS RIVAL THEN LAUGHS.
Would-be Suicide Has no Regrets
Over Fatal Deed.


Over Fatal Deed.
Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 28.-Re-
senting, it is said, the efforts of his
alleged rival to persuade his sweet
heart to leave him, Clyde Childers
shot and killed Hank Morse at the
girls feet tonight, at Rockingham,
N. c., and then turned the pistol up
on himself, inf1icting probably fatal
wounds.
Competition for the hand Of pretty
20-year-old Beulah Stone had been
keen for months, and on the strength
of a promise that she is said to have
given Morse, he secured a marriage
license tonight and started to her
home. She had gone for walk with
Childers and when Morse, in his bug
gy, overlook them he alighted and
tried to persuade the girl to go with
him. To this Childers demurred and
Morse, it is alleged, struck at him.
Childers then drew his pistol and
fired. AS Morse staggered away, des-
perately wounded, Childers fired two
more shots into his sinking foe and
then shot himself twice, falling with
in few feet of his victim. The mar
riage license was found in Morse's
pocket.
Rallying on his way to the hos
pital, Childers laughed over his deed
and declared he had no regrets OK
cept that he had not finished himself.
