SUPREME COURT SAYS
VAUGHN MUST DIE.
FORMER SUPERINTENDENT OF
ODD FELLOWS ORPHANAGE
TO BE RE.SENTENCED.

Columbia, June 30:-In the case
of T U Vaughn, former superintend-
ent of the State Odd Fellows Or
phanage at Greenville, who confess
ed to unlawful relations with girls
placed under his care and was sem
fenced to be electrocuted last Dec
ember 20, the Supreme court to-day
affirmed the judgment Of the cir
cult court and the case was remand
ed for the purpose of having anoth-
er day for execution set. The opin-
ion was written by Chief Justice Eu-
gene B Gary and concurred in by
Associate Justices Hydrick, Watts
and Fraser. The next term Of court
of general sessions Of Greenville
county will be held in October.
Concerning the exceptions, the
court held that the attorneys for
Vaughn failed to show an abuse of
discretion on the part of the presid-
ing Judge and that the right to insist
Upon the errors assigned was waived
when the defendant withdrew the
plea of not guilty. Concerning the
penalty imposed upon Vaughn, the
court says that the same question
has been decided in the case of the
State against Malloy. The court re-
fused to sustain this exception to the
sentence providing electrocution.
With reference to the alleged con-
fession of Vaughn. the court says:
"Conceding that the defendant
would have been entitled to all the
rights claimed in these exceptions,i if
he had insisted upon them in the
manner provided by the rules of
practice, nevertheless, it clearly ap-
pears that he waived such rights in
expectation that the jury would rec
ommend him to the mercy of the.
court, thereby enabling him to es-
cape the death penalty.
"At the time he withdrew his plea
of not guilty he had no reasonable
grounds for supposing that the jury
would render any other verdict than

that of guilty, and the method that

that of guilty, and the method that
ne adopted, it seems, might have
naturally been expected to increase
his chaAces of appealing to the SYM
pathy of the jury, and, thereby, in
deed, induce them to recommend him
to the mercy Of the court.
Nothing was omitted" says the
decision, during the trial Of which
the defendant has just cause Of COM
plant. He, his attorneys, the pre-
siding Judge and the jury unques-
tionably understood fully the ma
ture, force and effect Of the plea
made by the defendant.
He was represented by an ex-
ceedingly able counsel; the plea was
not interposed until two days after
the commencement of the trial, the
presiding Judge clearly stated the
nature, force and effect of the plea,
to which neither the defendant nor
his counsel made any objection. The
testimony which had been introduced
indicated that there were no reason
able grounds for hoping that the
jury would render any other verdict
than that of guilty."

Salt and Fresh Mater Lakes.

Fresh water lakes are always only
expansions of rivers, due to the par
ticular typographical configuration of
a valley. They are all characterized by
the fact that the water that they re-
ceive runs out either continuously or
internationally and that the chemical
constitution of their water remains
constantly the same as that of the
streams and rivers of the same region.
Salt lakes, on the other hand, are al
ways closed basins, without outlet, and
their water is removed only by surface
evaporation. These facts being we'll
understood, we see at once why the
former lakes contain fresh water and
the others salt water. Water is ma
ture's great solvent Hardly single
substance. simple or compound, es-
capes it's dissolving action Conse-
Guently the water that flows over the
earths surface or in it's depths con-
tains constantly in solution substances
that finally accumulate in the great
common reservoir, the ocean, whose
mass. removed only by evaporation,
becomes more and more charged with
saline matter.

who is 81 years of age, plead not guilty
to the charge in Judge Maxfeld's court
and his trial will be held next Satur-
day. Rivalry between the seminary
and city school students which from
time immemorial has crystalized on
Halloween night, when the city boys
plot to find some means of ringing the
seminary bell, was responsible for the
outbreak again this year. This time
the Evansville lads were baked in
their bell-ringing escapade and they
turned to a board sidewalk on the SEM
mary grounds for their revenge. The
walk was torn up for distance of four
rods, it is alleged. DIR. Blews' COM
plant is against Mapes, whom he
charged with being the ring-leader of
the city boys.
