Slain by Explosion of Gun
While at Night Practice
TRAGEDY At FORT MOULTRIE
Dead Officer Enlisted as Private in
the Spanish War and Rose Step by
Step-Scene of Accident Fort
That Dates from Revolution.

Charleston, S. C.-Captain Guy B.
G. Hanna, of the Sixteenth company
of the United States Coast Artillery
and Privates Baxter and Christian
were killed, while engaged in night
target practice, at 10 o'clock P. M,
when the breech block of a At gun
at Fort Moultrie was blown out. Bax-
ter and Christian met instant death,
and Captain Hanna died soon after
the accident on an operating table.
Captain Hanna was born in Iowa in
1879, enlisted as private in the
Spanish war in 1898 and rose to
sergeant in 1899, became a. second
lieutenant in 1901, rose to first lieu
tenant in 1907 and became captain
in 1911. He graduated from the Coast
Artillery School in 1912.
Nine men were wounded, and it is
believed several will die of injuries.
Fort Moultrie is six miles from
Charleston and many physicians from
this city were urgently summoned.
The fort is ordinarily reached by gov
eminent boat and a short line rail-
road over which trains are operated
only twice day. The physicians
went in automobiles.
The gun which exploded had been
firing about twenty minutes when the
accident occurred.
1t was reported that the breech had
not been properly closed after the in
sertion of cartridge, and that when
the cap was exploded the breech was
thrown back with terrific force.
Fort Moultrie, situated on fatlands
at the northern point Of the harbor of
Charleston, S. c., had its origin in
the Revolutionary war when William
Moultrie, who eventually became a
brigadier general in the Continental
Army, made a fierce stand with 1000
militia against the advance of the
British. 1t is one of the principal
Notifications of the Atlantic seaboard
Around it ragged the first battle of the
civil war, ending with the defeat of
Major Robert Anderson, the Union
commander of Fort Sumter.

BANKER WALKER
DIES OF POISON
Young millionaire Loses Re-
markable Fight For Life
PLUCKY WIFE ~COLLAPSES
Fought RraveIy a Week-None May
Fear Deaths Terrors, He Said, as
He Lapsed Into Final Coma
History of Case.

Macon, CAB Sanders Walker, the
wealthy young banker who week be-
fore took by mistake a seven-graln
bichloride of mercury tablet, is dead.
He had been unconscious since 1880
o'clock the previous afternoon. Mrs.
Walker had remained at the bedside
the entire week, but during the last
afternoon, when her husband failed
to recognize her, when his lips refused
to respond to her question, she col
lapsed. The brave woman had been
kept up by the remarkable strength
shown by her husband.
The physician. at o'clock in the
afternoon, gave out this bulletin:-
Temperature normal, pulse 100,
respiration 80; semi-conscious."
The temperature the day before was
normal, but the respiration then was
90, and the pulse 1913.
A half hour after the bulletin was
issued, Mr.. Walker became uncon-
scious, and as night came on steadily
grew weaker.
Efforts to ascertain the exact treat
ment Mr.. Walker had received were
unavailing. The physicians declined
to discuss this subject at all. 1t is
understood, however, that they were
in close communication with physi-
clans at the Johns Hopkins Hospital
in Baltimore.
All day a steady stream of kilograms
poured in, as on every day throughout
the week, suggesting treatment and
asking as to his condition.
Shortly before he lapsed into semi
consciousness Mr.. Walker said:
IF this be dying, then none iced
fear it's terrors."
Mr.. Walker made this Characters
tically cheerful statement after he had
begged his nurse in vain to tell him
exactly what had been said at con-
ference of physicians in corner of
his bedchamber.
Outside Walkers home, the birth
place of Sidney Lanier, Macon's IA
nous poet, crowds of prominent citi-
zens, banker friends of the dying man,
gathered before darkness and kept up
their vigil all evening, eagerly wait
ing for each fragment of news from
the sickroom.
Young Walker on Wednesday, May
IA, awakened in the night troubled
with slight cough. It was a trifing
ailment, but was recurrent in his
sleep. Finally he arose, went to the
bathroom in the darkness, opened the
medicine chest, drew forth a small
bottle and in the belief that he was
taking a harmless troche to relieve
the irritation of his throat, swallowed
the pellet of deadly poison.
The tablets were Of the same size
and the same shape. He returned to
bed without realization of the terrible
mistake he had made. At daybreak
he was struck with violent illness and
sent for doctors.

WILSON BLACK.
HANDLERS" GUILTY
Dunn Wrote the Threatening
Letters, Says Jury
TUMULTY Is A WITNESS
Handwriting Experts Photographic
Copies of Demands Sent to Pres
ident and Others CIinch Case
a Charges Sustained.

Newark, N. J.-Seeley Davenport
and Jacob Dunn, mountalneers OF
Sparta, were convicted by jury in
the United States Court here on four
charges of sending threatening let
tiers, two of which were sent to Presi-
dent Wilson when he was Governor of
New Jersey.
Among the witnesses for the Gov
eminent was Joseph P. Tumulty, Sec
rotary to the President. He came from
Washington on morning train and
hurried pack in the afternoon.
In finding both men guilty on four
charges, the jury recommended Dav-
export to the mercy of the court. He
is regarded as having been tool of
Dunn, who, the jurors were satisfied,
wrote the letters, one of which de-
manded $4,000 from President Wilson
under pain of death. The defendants
were remanded for sentence.
The two defendants were the last
witnesses, and both entered a general
denial of the allegations against
them. Both denied ever having seen
the letters which it is charged Dunn
wrote, and in answer to their coan-
sells questions they branded as false
the accusation that they had sent the
missives to any of the complainants.
The Government played it's trump
card when it produced William J.
Kinsley, the handwriting expert, who
made duplicate photographs of the
standards obtained by the Govern
ment detectives and the letters re-
ceived by President Wilson and the
other compliments. Kinsley was in
New Orleans, and was called in a
hurry to testify.
Warren F. johnson told of opening
the letter to President Wilson and of
turning it over to Mr.. Tumulty.

MOUNTAIN PEAK BLOWN OFF,
Huge Rock Had Threatened French
VILLAGE for Years.

Village for Years.
Paris.-A huge rock, 5000 feet high,
forming the peak of a mountain over
looking the village of Thormery, near
Aix-les-Bains, the base of which has
been continually disintegrating and
threatening to engulf the village ever
since its foundation in the Middle
Ages, was blown to atoms by an i'm
mense charge of dynamite placed
there by order of the Government.
The villagers have lived for twenty
years in great fear owing to the con-
tinual inroads made by the rains on
the mountainside, and they firmly be-
lieved that the rock would some day
crash down among them, as it's base
was getting smaller and smaller year
by year.
