Raised i'm SpaItanburg County.

Greenville, S. c., Jan. 11.-Mrs.
Matte A. Hughes was raised in Spar
tanburg county and later moved to
Greer, where she was arrested by
Sheriff j. d. Gilreath, charged with
the murder Of her husband, George
Hughes, prominent and fairly we'll
TO do merchant Of Greer. In three of
the most sensational trials in the his
tory of the county, she was tried for
murder, but in each instance a mis-
trial resulted and the State took a
mol pros.
Evidence was brought out at the
trial to show that in an affidavit,
made before he died, George Hughes
swore that his wife said to him.
Get up and be shot like a man,
and not be shot there like a dog!"
In spite of this testimony she was
never convicted Of the crime, claim
ing all the time that it was an acci-
dent; that she and her husband were
scuffiing over a pistol, which went off
and killed him. He lived several
days after the shooting, the ball hav-
ing entered his breast.
In the trial Ex-Governor NJ. f.
Ansel, who was then Solicitor, was
assisted in the prosecution by b. M.

II. Dean, JOS. A. Mccullough and

three trials ran for a year or more
and were finally concluded by the
State taking mol pros.
After she was released by the mol
pros, Mrs. Hughes ran restaurant
in one OF the small stores just above
the Hobbs-Henderson store, on Main
street, and it is said she was under
indictments at the time Of her leav-
ing for having sold whiskey.
Sheriff Gilreath last night was un-
able to remember whether there was
an indictment or whether one was
pending. He was certain that there
was something regarding the selling
Of whiskey.
After leaving here she Is said to
have gone to Spartanburg, and left
that city wearing mems apparel. She
had since that time been lost sight Of
to local people, though it was heard
THAT she went into business in Vir-
ginia, wearing mems clothing.
She had one son at the time she
vas tried for the killing Of her hus-
band, who Is now in the care of a
brother of George Hughes, and for
whom there has been some litigation
regarding his recovery.
She was said at the time of the
trial to have ben ABOUT 25 or 80
years of age and a striking woman.
She was, therefore, about 40-odd
years OF age at the time she was shot

THREE PRISONERS SENT UP.
William Mcclure, Woodrow Campbell
and Calhoun Kay Bound Over.

The preliminary hearing in tho
case Of William Mcclure, Woodrow
Campbell and Calhoun Kay, held in
the Oconee Jail on the charge Of mur-
der in the Fair Play case, was held
Monday and yesterday in the Court
House at Walhalla before Magistrate
J. b. S. Dendy.
The testimony was voluminous,
some 25 or 80 witnesses being ex-
amned. The evidence produced
against the three men held was
strong and the cases were sent up
for trial in the Court Of General Ses-
sions.
Two Of the men have been In the
Oconee Jail for some weeks, having
been arrested just after Christmas,
and the third, Woodrow Campbell,
who has been in Jail now for the past
ten days, came to Walhalla and gave
up TO Sheriff Davis. 1t was Camp
bell who gave Sheriff Davis such an
interesting game of hide and seek,
Keeping the officer and a deputy on
the go or watch constantly between
the Campbell home, near the Oconee-
Anderson line, and certain parts Of
Anderson county.
The developments in this case will
be watched with a marked degree OF
interest in all parts OF the county
and State. There Is probability OF a,
much wider scope to the case than at
present is generally known. In fact,
from the evidence adduced at the
preliminary hearing, it is given out
by those prominent in the prosecu-
ton that there will be other arrests
in the near future. From those who
heard the testimony given at the
Court House Monday and yesterday
we learr that 1t appears as one Of
the most clear-Cut cases that has
come up for hearing in this county in
many days. This statement applies,
it is gigen out authonsatiyely, not
'sIesiest amenta already. In cts sedy,
but to number OF others as we'll. 1t
is said that there will be develop
ments in the case in the no distant
future, and that other arrests will
follow. The officers have their bear
ings now since the hearing and their
way is much clearer than before the
case was officially aired, the testi-
mony greatly strengthening the case
as it had been gathered from various
sources through unsworn testimony.

Before her marriage to George
Hughes, n South Carolina merchant,
she was Matte A. Waldrop, and
when she came to Washington her fa-
ther came with her.
Early yesterday morning Mrs.
Hughes, with her Greek companion,
Coffinas, drove N a cab to her home.
