WAGES OF SIN is DEATH.
Says He is Guilty and Ready to Die
for His Crime.

Mrs. C. C. Bailey squeezed the
hand of A. L. Watson and he loved
her. Three months ago Watson's
wife died of poisoning at Flanagan,
Tex. 1t was alleged that Mrs. Bailey
had agreed to kill cher husband in
the same way, and that after making
an attempt, she gave it up.
1t is alleged further that she told
Watson her heart had failed her, and
that he then said he would do it.
Watson and Bailey we're fast friends,
and when Mrs. Bailey left for Wis
it to her parents at Myrtis, La, Bail
ey invited Watson to share his room
with him. In the night of Sept. 3
Bailey's skull was crushed with an
axe. Watson reported to neighbors
that some unidentified person had
done it.
Watson, while in his cell at Shreve-
port, heard the sobs of an insane wo-
man not far away. He thought Mrs.
Bailey had been arrested and that it
was she and that she had told all.
He sent for the sheriff and, telling
him he could not stand to see the
woman he loved suffer, wrote out
this confession, it is said:
II am guilty and am ready to die
for my crime. 1 told Mrs. Bailey ]
would die for her, and the sooner
they hang me the better satisfied I
will be. When 1 raised the axe to
strike that sleeping man, who had
been my friend, I said to myself:
''This will send my soul to hell. -
That's where it belongs and 1 am
ready to CO."
Both Mrs. Bailey and her husband
were prominently connected. She is
q years of age and pretty. Her hus-
band was a sawmill foreman at Met
calf, La. Watson was a logging con-
tractor there. He was not nearly SO
handsome a man as her husband.
Mrs. Bailey and Watson are both in
jail. Both have children.

ZEN1P PROMPTLY ACQUITTED.
Jury i'm Federal Court Finds Verdict
Without Leaving Box.

Greenville, Oct. 21.-Frank l..
Zemp, Jr., of Spartanburg, was ac-
quilted late to-day in federal court,
having been tried on a charge of
using the mail in an alleged attempt
to blackmail Mrs. E. G.. Cash, a
wealthy widow of Spartanburg. 1t
was alleged that Zemp devised GER
tain scheme to defraud Mrs. Cash Of
$3.50. The alleged plan was in the
form of blackmail letter which de-
manded that Mrs. Cash place the
money in a cigarette box that had
been placed on the sidewalk in front
of her home.
A dozen or more witnesses testified
in the case, including the two Of
fcers who arrested Zemp in the act
of picking up the box. The evidence
in the case, however, was not strong
enough for conviction, and after the
judges charge, the jury reached a
verdict of acquittal without leaving
the box.

Letter from Charleston.

Charleston, Oct. 21.-I am proud
of my home paper, as I meet the post
mas on Thursday morning, then lay
aside my books until I have finished
reading The Herald. I would give
$500 instead of $3.50 year If you
could publish news from old St.
Johns as you have for the past few
weeks. Why not have a write-up
every week? Then we could see
what our loved ones are doing in our
home sections.
We are waiting to see the railroad
through from Bamberg to Ehrhardt,
so we can spend the day in Ehrhardt
and return to Charleston without los
ing any time.
Mr.. H. w. Carter, of St. Johns, is
visiting his sons in Charleston this
week.
We are having some very stormy
weather in the city to-day.

HUGH LONG GRANTED BAIL
AMOUNT IN AIKEN CASE FIXED
AT $4,000.
State Offers no Objection in Petition
for Bail for Representative
Elect Hugh Long.

Aiken, Oct. 22.-Representative-
elect Hugh Long, charged with the
murder of Pickens N. Gunter, at
Wagner, in this county, on Saturday
afternoon about six weeks ago, has
been granted bail in the sum Of s5,-
600 with not less than two nor more
than five securities, and as soon as
Mr.. Longs bondsmen qualify he will
be released from custody.
Since the homicide he has been
confined at the State penitentiary in
Columbia, where he was taken by
Sheriff Raborn for safekeeping, it
having been rumored at the time that
a mob was gathering at Wagner
and would march to Aiken, take the
imprisoned man from the barricaded
jail and lynch him.
In this connection, it will be re-
called that when Sheriff Reborn and
three deputies went to arrest Long,
they, with the local police force at
Wagner, encountered considerable
difficulty in arresting their man, riot
and violence were running high, arm
ed men threatened to shoot up the
entire party if any effort was made
to spirit Long from the house in
which he had concealed himself, but
Long was finally slipped out and away
under cover of darkness and landed
safe in the almost impregnable Aiken
county jail.
Bail was granted without any for
NAL hearing. Croft & Croft, counsel
for the defendant served on the pros
ecution, Solicitor R. L. Gunter and
others, notice of an application Of
bail, filing evidence and papers in
the case, and the attorneys for the
State agreed not to resist the appeal
if the defence would consent to hav-
ing the sum fixed at $4,000, all of
which was agreed upon. The papers
and evidence have been filed with
Chief Justice Gary, and counsel ex-
pect receipts of his order tomorrow,
the order being a mere formality of
law. It has been stated here that
Mr.. Long will not go back to Wage
ner before his trial, the report going
so far as to declare that his house
hold effects and possessions have
been removed to Aiken, where he
will establish his domicile.

INSULTS A WHITE WOMAN.
Jack johnson Says He Can Get Any
Woman He Wants.

Chicago, Oct 17.-Jack Johnson,
the negro heavyweight champion
pugilist, appeared before Chief of
Police McWeeny to-day to explain
his relations with Miss Lucille Came
ron, the 19-year-old white girl,
daughter of Mrs. F. Cameron-Falco-
net, of Minneapolis, for whom the
police had been asked to search by
the mother.
In dramatic appeal Mrs. Gamer
on-Falconet told of her failure to get
her daughter from the influences of
the negro. She described her an
guish when she learned last Friday
that her daughter was frequenter
of Johnson's cafe and how she made
hurried trip here to rescue the
girl, her interviews with the pugil-
ist, who she declared insulted her,
and fouted her plea that he give up
the girl.
Johnson's Vile Lie.
Johnson, she said, told her he
"could get any woman he wanted"
when I found Lucille I pleaded
with her to come back and I would
go any place with her and shield her
from criticism back home. She re-
fused to come, being apparently un-
der Johpson's influence.
Then I telephoned the pugilist.
He said he would send an automo-
bile for me.
when his automobile arrived he
was in it himself, although he said it
would be empty. When I entered the
aahine I drew down the shades so
as hot to be seen. This nettled him.
"'Oh, some of the best white wo-
men in Chicago ride in this car is
what he said to me.
Begs Him to Give Girl Up.
Il begged Johnson to give my
daughter up. He said he would not
and leered in my face.
f"Ws rode to a house on Sheridan
road, where Lucille was staying. She
wept and told me she had gone too
far to go back.
I "~a'I left her undecided. Finally She,
came to my hotel. We talked of how
she could become disentangled. 1
was convinced at that time that the
negro had a hypnotic influence over
her.
"She went down stairs to use the
telephone, she said, and never re-
turned. Johnson told me he would
give every dollar he has to hold her."
Johnson Enters Denial.
Johnson made an absolute denial
of unduly friendly relations with
Miss Cameron and that infatuation
for the Cameron girl was one Of the
causes of the suicide recently of his
IIwhite wife, He declared the girl left
her position as cashier in his cafe for
another position and that his wife
had never seen Miss Cameron.
Miss Cameron was taken into GUS
tody by the police tonight, after she
had refused to leave her companions
in Chicago and accompany her moth
er to Minneapolis. She was question
ed by Police Captain Nootbear and
later taken to the South Clark street
police station for the night She was
arrested on complaint of her mother
but was not booked.
Miss Cameron told Police Captain
Nootbear that she loved Johnson and
that while the negro had not as yet
made her a proposal of marriage
she expected soon to become his
wife. At this announcement the
mother of the girl became hysteri-
cal.
Later Johnson, accompanied by an
attorney, visited the police station
and attempted to talk with the girl,
but was denied permission to see
her.

CUTTING AFFRAY AT WAGNER.
DIR. L. B. Etheridge Badly Hurt-As-
sailant Spirited to Jail.

VI w TdSS1GI Ill ILLS Guilty., Woo
again thrown in to intense excite
ment this afternoon over the at
tempted killing of DR.. L. B. Ether
idge, one of it's most prominent citi-
zens, by Tom Basket, colored
preacher. Sheriff Raborn was tele-
graphed to come to Wagner at once
to prevent a lynching and while he
was arranging for an automobile, he
received a message that the negro
had been slipped out of the town and
was on the way to Aiken. Mr.. j. w.
Baughman slipped the darky into his
automobile and made his way to
Aiken, arriving here about Z o'clock.
1t is not known how seriously
wounded DR.. Etheridge is, but after
an examination was made it was de-
cided to carry him to a Columbia hos
pital. He has terrible wound in his
left side, being cut through the cav
ity, and there is grave fear felt for
his recovery. Mr.. Baughman knew
nothing of the cause of the cutting
and the story here given was gotten
by the representative of the News
and Courier from the negro.
Prisoners Story.
Basket says he was walking down
the street and as he passed in front
of DR.. Etheridge's Office the doctor
said plug Preacher" and that he
replied plug Doctor" and then DR..
Etheridge added, PAY me what you
owe me-" Basket says he replied that
he owed him nothing and said the
doctor advanced on him, putting his
hand in his pocket. Basket said he
told DR.. Etheridge not to pull his
knucks, and if he did he (Baskett)
would get his knife. Basket says the
doctor withdrew his hand, but Bas-
kett pulled out his knife. During the
quarrel Basket says he backed some
distance, the doctor following him,
picking up bricks and sticks, and
finally he got large stick and struck
Basket. AS he struck him, Basket
says he cut him in the left side with
his knife.
Demands Protection.
A large crowd then gathered and
the assistant policeman ran up to ar
rest Basket, who demanded that the
officer show him his badge, which
the officer then did, and he was ar
rested. Basket was turned over to
the chief of police, and Basket said
he demanded of the officer, if he
would be responsible for his life. The
officer said he would, and the negro
was locked up in the guard house,
until he was slipped off to Aiken.
DR.. Etheridge is one of the most
prominent citizens of Wagner, hav-
ing been at one time a member OF
the house of representatives. This
is the second terrible affair that has
occurred in Wagner within the past
few weeks and the people are very
much wrought up.

Ups in New York.

there is no crime wave in New York In

Your note giving me the statistics Of
crime since September l and the corre-

shows that there is now no unusual
amount of crime in the city You must
remember you cannot prevent the pro-
prietors of rag-bag newspapers from in
venting a wave of crime whenever they
feel disposed to do SO for the sake of SEN
sation and the circulation of their news

They would be willing to bring any in
fanny on the city for the sake of increas-
ing their circulation. But do not be dis
turbed by that Intelligent people under
stand it perfectly"
