Vile charged with assisting T. U.

Jail, the case having been dropped be-
cause of insufficient evidence, today

him If he ordered his arrest and the
governor replied that he would not
answer If his telegram would be used
against any Democratic nominee. MIR.
Gilreath wired as follows: "Did you
order my arrest? Kindly wire at my ex-
pense."
Replying. Governor Blease wired Mr..
Gilreath as follows: your wire.
Primary obligations, In my opinion,
bind all parties. The violation Of the
oath in one instance relieves all 9TH

Greenville. Oct 31.-The warrants
against Inspector Of Police j. d. Gill
reath, Policeman Alex Phillips and
Constable Reuben Gosnell, charged
with aiding Thurston U. Vaughn to
escape from the Greenville county jail
last June, were withdrawn Wednes-
day afternoon. Oscar K. Mauldin, at
torney for the prosecution, asked for
a withdrawal after Magistrate Samuel
Stradley had refused to grant the con-
tinuance OF the preliminary hearing,
asked by the prosecution.
20. K. Mauldin, Esq, attorney for
the prosecution, withdrew this war
rant. Therefore, no charges exist
against this defendant and he is hon
orably discharged by this court"
So wrote the venerable Captain
Stradley across the back of each of
the warrants.
The preliminary was demanded by
counsel for the defense, Haynsworth
Haynsworth, and was set for 8
o'clock Wednesday afternoon before
Magistrate Stradley. A few minutes
before o'clock a tremendous crowd
gathered near the magistrates court
room and in order to accommodate the
people the place of the hearing was
changed to the board Of trade rooms.
The room was filled and numbers of
people were standing in the Railways
leading tc the room
Attorney Mauldin who says he was
secured by the prosecution to con-
duct the case, said tuat important wit
nesses were out Of the city and that
without their presence the prosecu-
ton could not go on with the case
He further said that a detective, who
had been working on the case for
some time, could not be located at this
time and for that reason they were
unwilling to procttd with the cast
Mr.. Mauldin had prepared motion
which he read to the court.
In reply to Mr.. Mauldin's request
Mr.. II. j. Haynsworth said that the
the warrant, were in Greenville and
he could see no reason why the cases
should not be tried Mr.. Mauldin
interrupted the speaker and said
that two Of the witnesses referred 10
were not here. but were in Colum-
bia. He said that Jack Power was in
Columbia and that Hendrix Rector
was sent after him. Mr.. Haynsworth
then inquired to know why the wit
nesses were not here. Speaking to
Mr.. Mauldin he said; you knew the
witnesses were wanted, why didn't you
Insist that these men be here"
When Mr.. Haynsworth had con-
cluded his argument Magistrate
Stradley demanded that the prelimi-
nary should be held at the time set.

GiIreath Claims AIlbi.

Greenville, Oct. 31.-Mr. j. d. Gill
Teath Wednesday night made the fol
lowing written and signed statement
with reference to his being arrested
on the charge OF aiding in the escape
of 7. U. Vaughn from Jail last June.
The fact of my arrest on the
charge of assisting in the escape OF
Vaughn and my treatment at the
hands of the officers who arrested me
have already been given in detail be-
fore the public.
Knowing that the preliminary in
vestigation was to be had within a
short time, I have refrained up to
this time from making any state
ment regarding the accusation. |
now wish to say in the most unuual-
ified terms that the accusation Is alb
solutely and maliciously false. 1t is
deliberate frame up on the part OF
my personal enemies for the purpose
of injuring my reputation and useful
ness in this community and IL pos
sible, securing my conviction by false
testimony.
Witnesses In Greenville,
THE preliminary hearing was set
for Wednesday afternoon. The
prosecution was fully advised of this
fact. When the case was called,
the prosecution moved for a contin-
uance, on the ground that they were
not ready for hearing, could not
get their witnesses, ETC., whereas the
afidavit OF W. L. MauIdin, upon which
the warrant was issued, stated the
Witnesses to be Hendrix Rector, Sher-
IL Peole, Deputy Sheriff Hunsinger
and j. p. Wasson, all of whom were
either in Greenville or could easily
have been secured.
When the magistrate announced
that / was entitled to a hearing the
counsel for the prosecution asked to
have the warrants dismissed. To
this my counsel objected most strong

ing this charge the prosecutor had
made the matter a public one and he
had no right to control it. and that /
was entitled to full investigation
of the charge; that the witnesses
named in the warrant ought to be
examined and If they knew anything
to my disadvantage the public ought
to know 1t, but on the other hand IL
they knew nothing to my disadvan-
tage l was entitled to have this go
before the public. From the state
ment Of the attorney representing
the prosecutor, it appears that the
only basis for this outrageous charge
was the statement of Vaughn, made
after conviction of a most heinous
crime and while on his way to the
penitentiary.
Gilreath's Accuser.
Mr.. Mauldin, in his statement, de-
clared that Vaughn was utterly un-
worthy of belief, and yet he practi-
cally announced that 1t was upon
this statement alone that / was ar
rested. How such a statement. alb
solutely false, could have been Sc
cured from the poor unfortunate
prisoner. under condemnation of
death, those men alone know, who
have been working up this matter
All that | can say Is what l have al
ready said. the charge Is absolutely
false and l stand ready at any and
all times to meet any accuser who
dares come forward.
'As matter Of fact was out of
the city at the time of Vaughn's es-
cape, and knew nothing Of the matter
until o'clock the next morning, on
my return.
"As an evidence that there was
personal animosity at the bottom of
this outrageous matter, l need only
refer 20 the fact that Hendrix Rector,
the officer who arrested me and put
me in ;ail. rs he was unlocking the
door said. You criminal, you, be sure
that your sins Will find you out He
further stated. You are guilty. We
have got all the evidence we want. We
have been working on the case for two
months
yet, having said this when the
time for the investigation comes, al
though named in the warrant as a
material witness, he fails to appear
at the hearing.
Such an Indignity.
II beg to say further that imme-
diately upon my being locked in the
cell, and before Ja!lor Rector left the
building, the other prisoners came to
me and speaking through Cleve Har-
rfson announced that ] had to pay a
quarter or take % to so lashes. Just
at this time Sheriff Poole came into
the building and called out to him
and told him how I had been threat
ened and that l wouldn't stand for
such an indignity. Thereupon he
Immediately unlocked the door to
take me out.
The. question as to whether / have
been fairly and honorably treated,
leave to right thinking public. The
people of Greenville know that
have always stood FOR the enforce
ment of law in the city of Greenville
and that my treatment is due to the
enemies that 1 have made by this
course.

ers would have netted only about 81 per
cent. inasmuch as the sliding scale was to
he abolished, Probably if a net advance
OF 10 per cent were guaranteed the
workers would be inclined to accept the
peace offer. There is evident danger OF
complications leading to prolongation OF
the strike. In view Of the fact that both
sides are disposed to grant concessions,
II would seem to be a propitious occasion
for arbitration. Unfortunately no progress
has been made toward the passage OF the
bill which was intended to extend the
operations of the Erdman act to permit
the government to intervene in such dis
putes as this, as it does in the case or
railroad troubles. The successful media
ton Of the United States authorities be-
tween the eastern railroad corporations
and the engineers proves the value OF this
method of settling industrial contro-
versies, and it is to be regretted that the
impulse toward additional legislation,
stimulated in March by the menace of an
anthracite coal strike, has not carried by
this time to the point of an enactment
that would now permit the government to
step into this case and prevent prolong-
ed suspension of hard coal mining, cer-
tain to cost the people of the country
dearly, and to breed discomfort and dan
gerous antagonisms.
