farmers interested they will build q

ried out in the woods and left there
being refused permission by the sher.
III to move them to her home, wher
ne arrested her. He had not done
anything to run away from home fol
ana he had not run away he said.
He said that after he left the
stranger, he had gone back home and
had remained there until nearly
night, when he left for town. He had
given out on the way here and had
spent the night at colored woman's s
house, between Sumter and New Sum
ter. Thursday morning he had come
on into town and given himself up
TO the sheriff. 1t might be added here
that Bradley was not at home any
time Wednesday afternoon or night,
when the sheriff was there, as a
thorough search was made for him.
Bradley's wife stated that Pye came
home drunk from Timmonsville We'd
nesday afternoon. She said that he
had gallon jugs whiskey and had
given a drink of whiskey to her out
of one Of them. She had begged him
to let her go back to her husband and
he had at first told her she could go,
but later retracted and told her il
she went he would kill her or work
the roots" or her. She seemed death
ly afraid Of the roots being worked
on her. and stated when asked con"
corning her fear Of them that she nor
her husband would ever be any good
to themselves or anybody else if the
roots were worked on them.
She had remained with him for six
weeks, having originally had a war
rant taken out before Judge Wells for
her husband, with whom it seems
she was not on friendly terms,
but with whom she has since evil
IDENTIFY made up. 1t was entirely due
to the threats of conjure that she had
not left Pye before she said. She
stated that Pye had threatened to
kill the man with the gun, if he did
not get away from there and had sent
for his gun, in order to kill him,
when the man shot.
The Bradley's claim that Pye and
the others are not white people, al
though they claim to be white people
and try to pass as such, one Of them
having married a white woman some-
time ago. They claim that neither the
Pyes nor the Floyds were ever mar
ried, but merely live together as man
and Wife. r.i.
The case is a very peculiar one,
the strangest part Of all being prob
ably the fact that none of the par
ties concerned know the name of the
man who they say did tn, killing, al
though they all say thar they have
seen him and they know him by sight.
Possibly it is because of his unusual
name.
Bradley has been in town a num-
Der Of times recently to get officers
to make his wife come back to him,
but Magistrate Wells paper Wednes-
day seems to have been In first sue
cessful effort he has met with. Pye
seems to have been a bad citizen and
generally feared by those living in
the same vicinity.
Magistrate Wells was sick Thurs
day and could not be seen concern
ing the paper he gave to Bradley
Wednesday, SO it is not known what
kind of a paper he gave Bradley to
make his wife come back 20 him. or
Bradley and his wife's fear of Pye
there can be no doubt, but other mat
ters pertaining to the case, except as
stated, can be merely conjecture.
