Just before court opened the %prosecu-
tor was closeted with the judge In his
private chambers for ten minutes. Mr..
Mott left the chambers and walked in
to the courtroom, followed almost in
stantly by the judge. A hush cam
over the court room as the rumor that
something was going to break had gone
through the building and the DON was
filled with jurymen n lawyers.
As soon as Judge DUNCAN took his
seat he said, addressing Mr.. Mott:

fact that they stood eleven to one, in

not necessary for me to say at this
time. At il o'clock the jury was

and, selling the youngest child, ran
toward the extension roof.
Sliding and slipping along he ice

abutted the roof, he finally succeeded
in getting to the bottom, falling the

holding out his arms, he caught the

TWO MEN HURT IN
STAG EXPLOSION

Two men were badly burned in q
spectacular explosion that shook the
Soho section of Belleville and set fire
to the copper rolling mills of Hendricks
Brothers yesterday. One of the in
jured men, Felix Rouskousky, of 81
Willet street, Bloomfield, is in st.
Michaels Hospital. suffering from his
burns. 1t was said at the hospital to-
day that he will probably recover. The
other victim. Michael Dunleavy, 60
years old, Of Smith street. Belleville. is
confined to his home, suffering from
painful burns and shock.
The fire which followed was extin-
guished by residents of the o h sec
ton and employees of the place before
any great damage was done.
The explosion wal caused by some
Stag from a furnace coming in contact
with cold water and snow. Charles
Gieson, a reflner at the Hendricks
mills, who lives in Montgomery street,
Soho, had taken the Stag from a hot
furnace. He called Rouskousky and
D~unleavy. his helpers, and told them to
carry 1t to the rear yard. When the
stuff was dumped a terrific explosion
resulted. It is thought gas was gener-
ated.
A peculiar feature was that about,
fifty windows in the plant we're broken
as a result of the force of the crash.
The Stag flew high In the air and fell
upon the two men. Some Of 1t touched
a part of the roof and a nre started.
R~ouexousky was taken to the hospital
in a carriage and D%unleavy was taken
home. A number of residents put the
fire out. The BeIlevil1e fire department
was not called. No estimate of the
damage could be secured today from
the office Of the Hendricks plant.

CAUSES MILK FAMINE,

The severe cold of Saturday and yes

makes deliveries early in the morning
did not supply the customers until late
in the afternoon.
The explanation given was that over

The Florence Times copies from the

Is stated that while this red shirt
campaign is going on tin1id folk may
be pardoned for avoiding a common
wealth where the governor may shoot
you if you don't agree with him. The
Times knows there is no reason for
any such statement as this, that there
is no foundation in truth for it; and
the Times knows, or ought to know,
that such editorials as The Times has
been printing are responsible for this
view of South Carolina by outsiders.
Some of the anti-Blease forces seem
to be willing to go to any lengths, re-
gardless of the truth and regardless of
the good name of South Carolina, in
their efforts to defeat the reelection
of the governor. And yet they place
themselves on high pinnacle of NOR

Dispensary Committees "Slime."
AS to the legislative Investigating
committee, the governor made some OF
his usual remarks, commenting on the
complimentary statements in their be-
half made by Judge Jones. He said
that Judge Jones was hoping to swim
into Office in the slime that flowed
from this investigation.
Governor Blease today exhibited. a
circular which has been sent out by
Judge Jones, in which appeared an ar
ticle or statement by Ger. U. Il.
Brooks, of Columbia. The exact nature
of the statement is not kaown, but 1t
was deprecatory to Governor Blease,
for the governor issued warning to
Col. Brooks to keep his hand out OF
this race. He even requested that the
newspapers take special note OF it.
He spoke of Col. Brooks as "U. Rever-
sible Brooks, of Dark Lantern Fame
in Columbia
"I have taken no part in the races
of any of the other candidates" said
the governor. 'I have been asked
about the State treasurer's race, but
have refrained from saying single
thing. But l warn Brooks to keep out
of this fight, for if he doesn't will
take part in the campaign, and l will
tell something that will cost some of
his friends a big vote" This was pre-
sumably in reference to- Mr.. S. T. Car
ter, who, it is understood, is relative
of Col. Brooks.
Governor Blease said that if any
Glow down, drunken nobo wants TO
become a gentleman, let him write
some vile attack about me-" that he
could get it published in the Columbia
State and was Immediately pronounc-
ed gentleman.
In answer to reference by Judge
Jones as to lawyers fees for securing
pardons, the governor said no lawyer
would take the trouble of looking up
the records in case, securing slgners
for petitions, go to Columbia and pre-
sent the case for nothing. Whether Or
not this is a point of either in the pro-
fession is not known, but Governor
Blease declared that no lawyer would
do the work attendant upoh securing
pardon without compensation.
