THE JURY INpLIcATEs NO ONE.
The Town Of HOnea Path is Quiet
After Lynching.


Anderson, Oct. 11.-"Willis Jack
son came to his death from gunshot
wounds at the hands Of an unknown
mob,' was the verdict reached by the
coroner's jury at Honea Path to-day.
The horribly mutilated body was
viewed by the jury and cut down
from the telephone pole by Coroner
Beasley. The mother of the negro
refused to take the body, saying she
would not have anything to do with a
son Of hers that would commit such a
crime. The negroes refused to allow
the body to be inferred in their bur-
ial grounds, SO it was buried at the
expense OF the county,, on the home
place Of Melvin Ashley. Several fin
gers OF the negro were severed for
souvenirs during the night and the
rope as it fell to the ground was cut
in pieces and distributed among the
large crowd that had gathered to see
him cut from the pole.
Coroner Bcaaley and Sheriff King
arrived on th2 scene at $50 o'clock
this morning, and after experiencing
little trouble in getting a jury will
Ing to serve the inquest was begun.
Five or six witnesses were examined,
but it was impossible to locate any
person who admitted seeing the
lynching. Everybody in the commu-
nifty was reticent and the examination
Of the witnesses required only short
time
Sheriff King forwarded a short re-
port from Honea Path to Governor
Blease. In the report he referred the
Governor to the newspaper accounts,
which the sheriff stated were correct
in every particular as far as he could
determine.
1t IS said that "Citizen" Josh Ash
ley was not witness of the lynching
and neither was his son, Joe Ashley.
These men left the mob with the me-
gro before the crowd reached Honea
Path. At Honea Path Mayor Sulli-
| van pleaded that The law be allowed

telegram he had received from Gov
| ernor Blease asking that the mob al
low the law to take its course, stating
that he would order special term of
court to try the negro within two
| weeks.
All the pleading was of no avail,
however, for after taking the negro
before the little girl for second
Identification the crowd proceeded to
the scene Of attack and there he was
strung up by his left foot The ne
gro's body was literally riddled with
bullets. not spot as large as a dol
lar remaining where bullets did not
pierce.
Everything is quiet at Honea Path
and no further demonstrations will
occ'" One negro man was dealt
with for making an insulting remark
to a gentleman looking on the body
this morning.

THE HONEA PATH LYNCHING.
Shcrins are Liable for Yielding Pris-
Oncr to Mob.
columbia Record.)

The sheriffs of Anderson and
Greenvillc counties, and their depu-
ties, from whom the negro, Willis
Jackson, was taken in Grcenville
county and lynchcd in Anderson coun-
ty, may find themselves in a serious
predicamcnt If the attorney general
or solicitor desires to institute o.
ccedings.
ANY officer from whom prison,
is taken by a mob is liable under the
constitution to be prosecuted for n
misdemcanor and if convicted to be
deposcd from Office. 1t is made the
duty OF the solicitor to institute the
prosecution. Further the county in
which lynchng takes place is liable
Tor damages to the legal representa-
tiVes OF the person lynched, and the
county may recover the sum from the
persons taking part in the lynching.
Will B0nham Act?
According to the Grecnvillc Pied
mont, Solicitor Bonham. Of Green
willie, whose circuit embraces both
Anderson and Greenville counties,
does not think it probable that any
legal action will be taken. The
Piedmont says:
1T is not probable that any of the
members Of the lynching party will
be arrested or that action will be
brought against any Of them. If such
were done the first step would have
TO be taken by the sheriff of Andcr-
son county. The sheriff was in
Ilonca Path this morning and he in
tlmated there that no arrests would
be made. 1t would be a hard matter
to implicatc any one man in the kill
ing, FOR there was a mob OF several
thousand people at the lynching.
solicitor Bonham said to-day that
he thought it hardly probable that
any legal action would be taken
against any member Of the mob or
the mob leaders. He said that If
such were done he would do all I'm
his power to prosecute the case, but
that, under conditions in the South
the outcome could easily be predict

Suit for Damages.
The institution OF civil action for
damages on account OF the killing OF
relatives Is becoming somewhat pop
ular In this State. Recently the Su-
prcmc Court upheld the verdict for
$4,000 obtained by Mrs. J. p. Farmer
against Wade Hampton Sellers, who
was acquitted Of murder for killing

Judge O'Rear denounces as
liars" the gentlemen who states
that at the Gait House Conference
after the Goebel-Taylor election,
he counseled the use of arms and
violence if necessary to keep Tay-

Alex. p. Humphrey, of Louisville.
who O'Rear says was present, and
and asks him to repeat what
O'Rear said on that occasion; that
the Judge is an honest man and
will tell the truth. There is no
doubt that Judge O'Rear is guilty
of the charge brought against him
by Governor McCreary. 1t will

Afraid of O'Rear.

, The business people are afraid
of O'Rear. He is generally re-

trust with great power. His po-

would be settled at the expense of
the State.

The parade started at the Wood

under Lieut.. Charles H. Overly,
as marshals, headed the parade.
Four sons of veterans came next

TO FINANCE BIG PROJECT

Ellensburg, Wash, Aug. 23.--At a
special election next month the farm
ers Of the Kittitas Valley Will vote
a bond issue of several million dollars
for the creation OF an irrigation dis
trict by the construction of canal
from Lake Kaches in the upper part
of Kittitas county to their lands. 1t
will be the biggest irrigation project
yet undertaken in the state of Wash
ington and the most colossal scheme
of its kind ever financed by farmers
in any section of the country. The
land to be watered lies above the
existing canals in Kittitas county,
which is the nearest irrigated dis
trict within reach of Seattle, Tacoma
and Puget Sound markets. Kittitas
county is the largest hay producing
county in the northwest and for some
years has furnished the war depart
ment the hay used in the Philippine
Islands. OF late years thousands of
acers have been set out in apples,
pears and small fruits.

LIVERPOOL STRIKE
ALL But Settled
RAPID PROGRESS BEING MADE
TOWARD RECONCiLING
DIFFERENCES.

London, Aug. 23.-Progress toward
the settlement of the labor troubles
at Liverpool was made today when
the chairman of the tramway comit'
tee reinstated number of strikers
on his own responsibility. The dock.
men are still out, pending a settle
ment with the tramway men, but the
railroad men of Liverpool are resum-
ing work in increasing numbers.
The trouble at Liverpool resulted
from the refusal of the municipality
to reinstate $50 strikers. The en-
ployes who had remained loyal
throughout the strike threatened to
quit work if the 200 men were taken
back. Today's action of the chair
man Of the tranway committee in
taking back some of the strikers will
lead, it is believed, to an early agree
ment. by all parties.
The weekly traffic returns testify
to the enormous losses resulting to
the railway companies from last
weeks strike. The London and
Northwestern railways report alone
shows a decrease of s505.OOO in re
ceipts for the week. -
