DOUBLE TRAGEDY NEAR FORK.
Negro Man Stays Woman and is KILL
cd by Victims Father.
(NewS and Courier.)

\NeWS ana courier.
Dillon, May 16.-Coroner Gasuue
was called early Monday morning to
the Fork section to hold an inuuest
over the bodies Of Lula Mason, aged
l6 years, and Fleglfr McKinnis, who
had both been killed the night be-
fore on the pie ltation of Alfred
owens, one mile and half north Of
Fork Station.
The testimony at the inquest show
ed that Flegler McKinnis, holding
Job In Marion as porter at '"The Car
michael had called to see Lula, to
whom he had previously been paying
some attention. On this occasion,
1t seems, he began upbraiding her
Tor encouraging a supposed rival A
pistol shot was heard from the porch
where they were sitting and the
girl came around the house scream
ing that McKinnis had shot her and
fell, expiring in a few minutes, shot
through the left breast.
The father of the girl William
Mason, seized chair and broke it
over the head Of McKinnis, who, 1t
was stated, was trying to shoot him
also. Mason rushed into the house,
and In a moment came out with
shotgun, which he discharged at
once into the body Of McKinnis, the
whole load taking effect in the upper
part Of the thigh, almost completely
severing the femoral artery. Death
from hcmorrhage speedily followed.
Several negroes were present and
eye-witnesses declare that when Ma
son, the father Of the girl, went into
the house to get his gun, McKinnis
drew a small vial from his pocket
and apparently swallowed its con-
tents. Upon examination afterwards
1t was found TO have contained car
Doilc acid, which had been obtained
from druggist In Marion. This
evidently showed that double trag-
edy was intended. Mason gave him
SELF up and was brought to iail.
though the jury completely exoner-
ated him. All parties in the affair
were colored.

ANOTHER BANKER FOR THIspEN
Sutherland Got Five Years for EN-
bcZzlemcnt, One for Lying.

Bristol, Va, May 16.--The jury in
the case Of Walter d. Sutherland,
former cashier Of the Citizens Ma
tional Bank Of Clintwood, Va, who
has been on trial in tho Federal
Court at Arlington, Va, for more
than a week, returned a verdict Of
guilty, and Judge Mcdowell SEN
fenced the prisoner to six years in
the Atlanta penitentiary. In passing
sentence Judge Mcdowell stated that
he could not give the prisoner less
than five years, and that he added on
one year for the falsehoods which he
had sworn in the case.
Sutherland embezzled nearly S.
600 of the banks money and skipped
from Clintwood July 1, 1910. He had
arranged with the other bank for
both to be closed the following day,
which was Saturday. Monday was
Fourth of July, and the bank was
not to reopen until Tuesday. He
skipped to Canada, and when the
vault was opened a note was found
reading: Gone to the tall ;timbers.'',' 2
Sutherland was captured a year and
half later working as a common
laborer in West Virginia. His first
trial resulted in hung jury. He
claimed that he was innocent; that
others higher up got the money, and
that he skipped to shield them.
The strongest witness against him
was Mrs. Maggie Charles, a married
woman, to whom he wrote letters
that convinced the jury of his plan
to rob the bank and skip. Suther-
land will accept the sentence.
At the conclusion Of the trial
Judge Mcdowell imposed fines OF
$500 each on United States District
Attorney Barnes Gillespie and Attor-
ney Holiday Sutherland, the latter's
counsel and relative Of the prison.

NEW DAILY AT, ANDERSON q
Reported Col. II. M. Green VIII Be-
come Editor of mtelligencer.

columbia Special to News and Cou-
rier.)
That the Anderson Intelligencer,
Of Anderson, one Of the newspapers
Of the State supporting the present
Governor, Is going to issue morn
Ing edition, and chat Col. Leon NJ.
Green, of. the Governors staff, and
also Of his detective force, is going
to be editor-in-chief and. managing
editor, is the story told in Columbia
to-day, and a gentleman from An
derson here this morning stated that
Colonel-Editor Cheshire had told him
that these were his plans. 1t Is stat
ed that If matters can be arranged
the new daily will begin issuing It's
morning edition on June /.
Col. Green admitted here to-day
that he was going to Anderson to-
morrow morning to confer with Mr..
Cheshire and look over the field and
that he had been offered the position
or editor OF the new morning paper
If plans to launch it are carried out.
The Anderson Intelligencer Is one
OF the papers supporting the Cover
nor; it's editor, Mr.. Cheshire, is
colonel on the Governors STAFF, and
Is an ardent admirer and supporter
of the administration. Col. Green,
who Is slated for the position of edi-
tor, is also member Of the Cover
nor's staff and holds the rank of lieu
tenant colonel. He is also a men,
Der Of the Governors secret service
system, along with Rev G. w.
Creighton, the former Methodist min
lister, who resides at Greenwood and
who Is the editor of the Christian
Appeal.
In this connection it is recalled
that warrants drawn on the Cover
nor's law enforcement fund in favor
Of Messrs. Creighton and Green for
their salaries and expenses as detec-
tives, were turned down by Comp
troller General Jones on the ground
that the law required the accounts
to be itemized with exact dates Of all
expenses. Their salaries were 500
month each, and the accounts Of
Col. Green, which are held up,
amount to over $400, and that of
Rev. Creighton to some 500. The
latter was held up first, as it was the
first presented. To date neither has
been paid by the Comptroller Gene
raj, and inquiry at his Office this
morning revealed the fact that nei-
ther had yet been properly itemized
and exact dates placed on them, and
as a result they are still being held
| up by his office.
The recent correspondence which
passed between the Governor and the
| Comptroller General on this matter
Is recalled with interest. The ex-
pected mandamus proceedings to
compel the Comptroller General to
pay these warrants have not been
brought. nor is it believed they ever
will be.
If Col. Green accepts the position
on the proposed new morning edition
of the Anderson Intelligencer It will
probably mean that he will resign
from the Governors detective force
.
