AFTER THIRTY.TWo YEARS.

Mr.. John Kelly who works at the
York Cotton Mill, Is rejoicing in the
finding Of brother who has been lost
for thirty-two years. since he was a
boy Of thirteen, and his story as he told
II to The Enquirer yesterday Is out Of
the ordinary. 1t Is like this:
2 along about 1870 my father left
Cleveland county, N. c.. and moved to
Hayes county, Texas. He died about
ten years later, and my mother decided
to bring the family back home. We
travelled in a covered wagon. Not far
from Cedar Hill, Dallas county, my
brother Isaac, then boy of 13. had his
leg broken by being run over by wag
on wheel. We remained there a while
with him; but under all the circum-
stances, deemed 1t best to move on, so
we paid man by the name Of w. H.
Shinal. twenty dollars to take care Of
him until he got better. We went on
to Hot Springs, Arkansas, and wrote to
Shinal; but received no reply. Later
we wrote to the chief Of police at Kauf-
man, Texas, and he wrote that ShinaI
had left the town between suns and
taken the boy with him. Since then we
have been advertising in different
Texas newspapers once or twice a year
but without result until a week or two
ago when Isaac was located on farm
near Kaufman. AS soon as we estab-
lished communication, he Of course de-
cided to come out to South Carolina to
see our old mother who Is still living,
and I go to Blacksburg this evening
with the expectation Of meeting him
there"

Significance Of Investigation as Seen

not what they do" for he is human.
Let us hope the people Of South
Carolina will not censure him for the
language he used until they have first
put themselves in the same position,
then conclude whether or not what
they said would look better in print.
Let us hope the men of South Caro-
lina-at least enough of them to give
Gov. Blease a majority-had writ

that they would vote for Blease and

The New York Herald, the New
York Tribune and the New York Press
are the defendants in libel suits to the
tune Of s250,000 each, instituted
against them by Police Commissioner
Waldo. The alleged libel consists Of
printed in these papers to
the effect that Lieutenant Costigan OF
the police force had reported gamblers
to the commissioner on more than
one occasion, and that the commits
sioner had paid no attention to the re-
ports Lieutenant Costigan claims he
did not say it and hence the suits. or
course, if the papers really libeled the
police commissioner they should be
made to pay and they no doubt will be
made pay, but it is hardly conceivable
that such a statement was made with
malice and without foundation and the
illustrates the tremend-
Gus responsibility of a newspaper
even in it's efforts to clean up such an
alarming condition as that which is
now terrorizing the city of New York

THE DIXON MURDER.
Case of Frank GLADDEN. Will Be Taken


The famous Dixon murder, says q
Shelby dispatch to the Charlotte OBJ
server, will go through a second and
final probing this week when the sum-
mer term of Cleveland county court
convenes, Judge F. A. Daniels presid-
ing, and the biggest crowd that ever
attended any court in the history OF
the county Is expected. =,
Judge Daniels Is remaining over In
Charlotte on the ice machine case
which prolonged the legal time OF
Mecklenburg court, but he Is expected
here Tuesday to open court. The
docket is small with the exception OF
the Dixon case and the minor cases
will probably be disposed Of In q
single day, leaving the remainder OF
the term to hear the evidence against
Frank GLADDEN., the white man charg-
ed with the alleged killing Of Mrs.
Clayton Dixon on the night Of De-
cember IL, 1911.
It will be remembered that this
horrible crime in which Mr.. and Mrs.
John Dixon, a prosperous and largely
connected young farming family were
killed with an axe, occurred near
Fallston, an infant being the only
member Of the household that was
spared. John Ross, a half Indian
negro, confessed that he welded the
axe and killed Mr.. Dixon at the barn
and Is under death sentence to be
electrocuted next month after court
adjourns.
Ross implicated Frank GLADDEN. in
his confession the day before the spe-
cial term Of court convened January
nd i,tr trtta
bill against him for implication in
the murder of Mr.. Dixon and the
murder Of Mrs. Dixon. He was ac-
quilted on the first count, there being
only a weak circumstantial support Of
the testimony Of the negro.
GLADDEN. was released and remain
ed in Shelby until about four weeks
ago when he was rearrested on alleg-
ed new evidence worked up by Detect
i've Branch of Charlotte who spent
two months ferreting out the crime.
Just what new evidence there Is. Is
not learned as the prosecution refuses
to divulge what 1t hopes to prove un-
til the jury is ready to listen. Ross
was brought back to the county jail
from the death chamber at Raleigh,
and placed into an adjoining cell to
GLADDEN., but he ignores his accuser,
despite the fervent prayers and plead
ings on the part Of the condemned
man.
In the first trial, Ross told that a
mysterious man whom he did not re-
cognize in the darkness was a party
to the murder but no arrest Of the
third party has followed. Ross told
that he was persuaded by GLADDEN. to
aid in the crime and that their motive
was robbery GLADDEN. lived in the
Fallston neighborhood until a week
after the fatal night when he moved
to Shelby and was engaged in the
barber business when arrested.
1t Is expected that an effort will be
made by the defense to move the
case to another county on the ground
that the minds Of the people are too
prejudiced to give the defendant a
fair and just hearing but 1t is thought
the motion will not be pressed.
o. M. Gardner, L. B. Wetmore and
n. F. Mcmillan are the attorneys
for the defense, while Solicitor Will
son of Gastonia will be assisted in
the prosecution by Clyde R. Hoey
and B. T. Falls.

There is a row on among the Demo-
Gratis of California which though in
volving circumstances that are quite
familiar in many localities are practi-
cally unknown in this section. The
state executive committee was for Clark
and Clark delegates were sent to Bal
timore. After the nomination of Will
son, the Wilson men of the party
claimed the right to take the manage
ment of the campaign in the state; but
the Clark men denied that right. The
committee stood Is to s. The Wilson
men claim that if allowed to take charge
they can carry California for Wilson;
but that if the Clark people are left in
the lead they will deliberately see that
California is lost to the Democrats. OF
course this is not to be taken as sug-
gesting a reflection on Clark. The plain
English of it is that most politicians
are first for themselves and the crowd
that is in control of California politics
does not propose to step down and out
until it is made to do so, regardless of
the effect on any candidate.

of thugs to kill some other gambler un-
der the same circumstances, the fact,
If fact 1t is, does not argue that the law
should not bother about the case. On
the contrary, it argues all the more
reason why the law should stir itself
to the utmost. OF course where repre-
sentatives Of the law compromise with
those criminals the law is supposed to
be trying to put down, nobody should
look for anything else than eventual
murder. That the law could compro-
mise or even temporize with crime is
absolutely impossible. And if the law
of New York city proves too weak to
handle this case, the gangsters who
murdered Rosenthal are going to be
strengthened rather than weakened. II
these gangsters, however, are put out
of business it will make the police still
more careful how they go into such
deals as this.

gamblers vengeance and did not offer
at first to be a witness. But now I am
ready to tell my story. and identify
the murderers of Herman Rosenthal"
The belief Is growing in some quar-
ters that but one man shot Rosenthal
and did so from a position very close
to his victim This has considerable
support by DR.. Otto B. Schultz, the
coroner's physician, who made the au-
topsy. DR.. Schultz said today that he
had found but two bullet wounds in
Rosenthal's head despite the reports
that five or more shots were fired.
Both of the bullets which struck Ro-
senthal were Of SO caliber.

Senator McI.aurin and Mr.. w. F.

Senator McLaurin and Mr.. w. F.
Stevenson are agreed upon the propo-
sition that the principal significance Of
the warehouse decision is that the
legislature has full power to do what it
tried to do, except 1t will have to change
it's plan in two or three unimportant
particulars. The decision Senator Nc
Laurin thinks should serve as guide
to other states in drafting a bill that
will hold water from the beginning.

What South Carolina needs above all

What South Carolina needs above all
things is an honest and just admins
tration of the laws. Nobody can truth
fully claim that conditions are any

previous administrations. When the
Of the law becomes such
that hornets and wasps will be held in
the web like flies and moths. things
will be right.

McDavid Horton says the second
hand primary that Governor Blease
took at Aiken did not show as large a
vote as the first; hut according to S. E.
Boney the result was about the same
in both cases. The discrepancy. OF
course, comes from the different way
the two men have Of looking at the
same thing.

There has been another development
in connection with that Stake Morris
case, out of which there grew such q
sensational scandal because Of the
governors alleged discourteous and
rough treatment Of King and Watson,
two Greenville men who went to the
governors mansion two Sundays ago
to get, so they claimed, a reprieve for
the condemned negro. 1t will be re-
membered that Watson and King went
into the n. spapers with a story that
they had been elected from the govern
or's mansion, without cause. The gov
ernor on being forced to explain the
situation for political reasons, said that
the men who according to his assertion
were drunk, had acted so badly that
he had to make them get away. There
has been a lot in the papers about the
whole ugly affair, and partizans have
been believing whichever side Of the
story that seemed in most harmony
with their political sentiments. 1t turns
out that Stake Morris was not hanged
last Friday. the day on which he was
sentenced to be hanged, and there was
no reprieve either. AS matter Of fact.
according to the Greenville News. the
negro was not to have been hanged on
the day he was sentenced to be hang
ed. Immediately after the conviction
of the negro, his lawyers gave notice Of
a motion for a new trial. and after SEN
tence was pronounced they served no
tice of appeal. The notice of appeal
served as a stay of execution and there
was no need whatever for the reprieve
that Watson and King claimed to have
gone to the executive mansion for. The
negro cannot be electrocuted until af-
ter he shall have been resentenced at
the next term of the Greenville gener-
al sessions in September.

most wanted are still at large, but OF

These men are believed to be in hid

the fourth man, has fled the city and
his whereabouts is not known An
other important witness. whose identity
is concealed by the police, has been
found by Deputy Commissioner Dough-

yards of Rosenthal when the latter
was shot This is part of what the
new witness has told the police: II
