VAUGHN APPEALS TO GOVERNOR.
Blease Hears PiteOus Tale of Doomed
Man-Spends Hour Inspecting
State Prison.

Columbia, NOV. 2i.-GOVeFHOf OledSe
made a visit to the State penitentiary
today and had an hours talk with T. u.
Vaughn, the Greenville man, under
sentence to die in the electric chair,
having been convicted of criminal as
sault on inmates of the Odd Fellows
Orphan Home while he was its super
intendent. Vaughn has addressed sew
eral communications from his cell in
the death house to the governor asking
fer ap opportunity 10 ta.k with I'M
and today the governor visited the
penitentiary. Vaughn was brought
from his cell u the death house 20 g
superintendent's Office, where he
talked with the governor. The COVER
nor listened patiently to the piteous
story of the condemned man, but all
that he could promise him was that he
would think carefully over everything
he told him.
Vaughn DOwncast.
Vaughn shows the strain under
which he has been living and appears
to be very blue and doWncast. His
eyes are watery and he seems to be
living in the deepest kind Of gloomy
spirits. He is kept confined in the
death house within few feet OF the
electric CHI IT, where he has been SEN
fenced to die on December 20. How
ever, the appealing of his case to the
supreme court has served as stay OF
the sentence of the court.
The governor, after talking with
Vaughn, went out into the penitentiary
yard among the prisoners and made an
inspection. He found among the pris-
oners an old negro who has served al
ready twenty-five years for stealing
s27 watch, and another negro who has
served nearly a dozen years for steal
ing SO. The governor looked over mat
ters around the State penitentlary'
spending considerably over an hour
there.
Several of those who were among
the number of prisoners paroled by the
governor for Thanksgiving called by
his Office today to express their ap-
probation of his gift of freedom to
them, and several asked the governor
if thew went home and made good men
if they could hope for full pardons.
Those among the number liberated who
were at the penitentiary were released
this morning and departed for their
homes to eat Thanksgiving dinner with
their people. There were about fifteen
in the batch released at the peniten-
tiary and the rest of the thirty-tWo
who received clemends were scattered
throughout the State on various county
chaingangs and they, too, received
their liberty today.

By Correspondents, That Negro
Was Killed by White Posse.

Lexington, November .27-Further
investigations of the hold-up and rob-
berry of P. B. Ellison, of Newberry
county, on last Friday evening, while
he was returning to his home from
Prosperity, and the subsequent battle
which followed at Peak, in this county,
between posse of whites and two ne
groes, resulting in two white men be-
ing injured by pistol bullets from the
weapons of the negroes, and the kill
ing of one negro, Richard Speaks, by
those who were in pursuit and the ad-
mitted shooting of another, reveal the
fact that the missing negro was lynch
ed and his body thrown into the Broad
river, Just below the trestle at Peak
A Useless Search.
This is said, on reliable authority,
,, to be the opinion of the officers who
have been on the search for the miss
ing negro 1t, is stated, in fact that
when the officers arrived at the scene,
after the occurrence On Friday night
or early Saturday morning, they were
informed by several persons that it
would be useless to make an effort to
find the other negro. To satisfy them
selves, however, the officers did make
a close search and did track the negro
to a point near the river; but could not
| find any further clues.
Killing of Speaks.
The dead negro, Speaks, had in pos
session when examined by Sheriff Mil
Ter, seven-shooter Iver-Johnson pis-
tol. a long bladed knigfe, as keen as
razor, hunting case Waltham gold
watch, and about $3.50 in money.
Speaks body was sent to his relatives
in Florence, after the coroner's in
quest.
Two Lynehings.
If the other negro, whose name was
given as Brown by the negro who was
with him and who died of his wounds,
was lynched and thrown into the river,
as has been stated, this would make
two lynchings to occur within the same
day and at very nearly the same hour;
and both having originated in New
berry county 1t will be remembered
that negro was taken from mag
istrates constable in Newberry coun-
ty about 10 O'Clock Friday night and
his body riddled with bullets. The two
killings at Peak, just below the New
berry line, would make two lynchings
within a radius of about twenty-five
miles on the same night at about the
same hour. One was for the alleged
assassination of a white farmer, the
other for the hold-up and robbery OF
an old man on the public highway OF
Newberry county, and for resisting ar
rest when an effort was made to take
him into custody
Whether the second negro was
lynched or not, the officers have been
unable to secure any further informa-
ton than the foregoing sets out.
