GREEN VOUCHER ALSO HELD UP
Comptroller General Demands Item
iZcd Accounts from Detective,

Columbia, May 1.-Comptroller
General A. w. Jones has held up the
voucher for some $4OO drawn for
Leon M. Green, one of the Governors
detectives, out Of his law enforce
ment fund, on the ground that the
law calls for the accounts to be item
lied and dated, and this, the Comp
troller General alleges, was not done
by Mr.. Green. This is similar to the
warrant drawn in favor of Rev. c..
w. Creighton, also one Of the Cover
nor's detectives, on the same fund,
and which was held up by the Comp
trollegs General. II " y ! s,.ss \ 4 5, & \.
'gS.sG Thes Comp ptrollerfS General g once
stated that two warrants, aggregat-
ing some $412, drawn in favor of
Leon NJ Green, on the Governors
law enforcement fund, each one Of
the warrants for some 5000, we're
held up because the accounts were
not itemized and because they were
not dated properly; that the first
was sent back to the bank and that
1t was returned by Mr.. Green, with
probable dates Of his work for which
the account was rendered, but as the
lied accounts, the warrants were
again turned back to the bank by
the Comptroller Generals Office.
The Comptroller General stated
stated that during Governor Ansel's
administration detectives employed
similar to Green and Creighton al
ways rendered itemized accounts and
proper dates, and he exhibited one
to prove his statement. This Is what
he Is contending for when he refused
payment to the warrants in favor OF
Creighton and Green, drawn on the
Governors law enforcement fund.
One such warrant for Rev. Creigh-
ton, as a detective, was paid, but it
was through Mr.. Holiness misun-
derstanding Of the orders of Comp
troller General Jones, who has issued
instructions that none be paid until
itemized accounts and proper dates
are on all Of them.
Green and Creighton were ap-
pointed by the Governor as special
detectives to assist in the enforce
ment OF laws, and it was in an inter-
view given out in Newberry that this
matter was made known by the Gov
ernor, although 1T had been generally
understood in some quarters before.

Dream of Murder Was Il Reality.

Atlanta, May 4.-Amateur psy-
biologists are delving to their heart s
content IN the strange murder mys-
terry Of Mrs. Kate II. Clay, who was
killed by her husband Monday night.
Mrs Clay dreamed her husband had
murdered her, and she was killed BY
him three days afterward in exactly
the manner she dreamed Saturday
morning she told her sister Of her
dream. and she was shot three times
by her husband, just as she had told
her sister she had dreamed.
Which mind Influenced the other?
In which brain did the thought of
possible murder find its birth? Did
Mrs. Clay ponder and dream over
it, and thus communicate the desire
to her husband, or did his hidden
purpose communicate itself by tele-
pathy to her?
An interesting complication Of the
stories is that Clay used to tell his
friends that all the dreams his wife
had always came true, and that when
she dreamed her husband would kill
her she felt she was as good as al
ready dead. Clay h under arrest,
and has been bound over to the su-
perior court to appear for murder.
Clay and wife had been married
five years, and during this time had
five separations. At the time Of the
tragedy she was living with a sister
and Clay called to pay his wife a
visit, and, 1t Is presumed, to consult
her about divorce suit which she
had told friends she intended to
bring. After short consultation,
and when the two were left alone,
Clay drew his pistol from his pocket
and shot her. The couple were the
father and mother OF one child

BLEASE APPOINTMENTS INVALID
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
In First of Several Cases.

Columbia, May 14.-The State Su-
preme Court, in a decision handed
down to-day, ousted Governor
Blease's appointees as township com
m1ssloncrs in Beaufort county, ruled
them guilty Of usurDation and ille-
gally holding office. and ordering
lhem TO surrender. The defendants
are not fined, but are assessed the
costs In the cases.
This is the first Of the quo war
ranto proceedings to oust the an
pointces Of the Governor in many
parts or the State and is considered
an index OF what the results will be
in all or the other cases.
Thc opinion was from q unani-
nous court, and is considered a vic
tory for Attorney General Lyon, who
instituted the cases
The court rules that the Blcasc
appointees were not legal incum-
bcnts Of Office for the fact that they
were appointed without the approval
Of the county delegation.
The case is simila" to the Green
wood rural police case and the de-
cisiOn Is based on that case.
1t Is considered a slap at the Gov
ernor's acts Of making appointments
OF followers contrary to the Legis-
laturc's wishes. The Attorney Gene
defendants in the case and his de-
murrer is sustained.
There were four cases against the
township commissioners. but all were
tried together.

Greenville, May 11.-The first
clash between the United States
Court and State officials over the re-
cent decision Of Federal Judge II. A.
M. Smith, that the government has
a right to sell at public auction in q
"dry" county whiskey that has been
seized and condemned as contraband,
occurred here to-day. In compli-
ance with the order of Judge Smith

I the "Hundred Thousand Club"
Several days ago Governor Blease
addressed letters to the sheriffs of
South Carolina and to one Of the
magistrates in Greenville advising
them to arrest any party who might
purchase contraband whiskey sold in
the State by United States officials
Sheriff Poole and Magistrate Strad-
ley received copies of the letter and
forthwith primed themselves for the
clash.
Prepared for Sale.
This morning Deputy Marshal J.
Duncan Adams appeared in Green
vile and prepared for the auction
Shortly before noon the two barrels
OF whiskey were transported from
the police station to the front Of the
county Court House, having been
coniiscated last October by Police
Chief Holcombe and the United
States revenue officers because the
barrels bore no markings to indicate
their contents, which is a violation
of the Federal laws.
DR.. j. l.. Dean was employed as
auctioneer by the marshal, and at
the stroke Of IL he called for bids
for the first package of whiskey. He
was interrupted by the stentorian
voice Of Magistrate Stradley, warn
ing the crowd that Governor Blease
age to be arrested. The call for a
bid was repeated and there came an
offer Of SO from Oscar x. Mauldin,
son of Senator w. l.. Mauldin. The
auctioneer took up the cry, "Tnree
dollars, three dollars!" There were
no more offers and the hammer fell.
Bids for the second barrel OF whis-
key were called for and Mr.. Mauldin
made an offer OF 81.
Again rang out the voice Of the
auctioneer, but no one made a higher
bid. The hammer fell, and to the
purchaser went $40 worth OF cham
payne, Benedictino and imported
Scotch whiskey for So. Sheriff Poole
seized the two barrels Of whiskey and
approached the purchaser and placed
him under arrest while his deputies
bore them into the court house.
Later the attorney gave bond Of $500
and stated that he would bring ac-
ton, through the "claim and dcliv-
cry process" for the recovery Of the
liquor.
A large crowd had gathered, prin-
cipally out Of curiosity, to witness the
sale Of tho beverage.
