4 SPEEDY TRIAL FOR NEGRO.
EaSlcy Citizens Quiet After Governor
Manning'S Promise.

Easley. Nov. 29.-Pete Hamilton,
young negro some 20 or % years
OF age, was arrested here this morn.
ing, being charged with attempted
assault, on prominent white woman
III residence shortly before mid
night Saturday night. The evidence,
Warranting his arrest, although cir
cumstantial, is sufficiently strong to
assure the citizens that the guilty one
mas really been apprehended. In
making his escape from the residence
Saturday night the fleeing person was
seen to fall over large log on the
edge Of the sidewalk. Here he also
lost one Of his shoes, which was
found by the officers working on the
case. Hamilton is an employee Of
the Oil mill and this shoe which was
found had cotton seed hulls in it. The
make Of the shoe was identified as
one which had been purchased by
Hamilton 4 month ago. Hamilton
had a sore on his foot and the shoe
which was found had hole split in
1T and this cut-out place exactly fitted
over the sore. Hamilton failed to ap-
pear at the oil mill this morning and
sent word that he had the mumps.
The officers, in view Of all other cir
cumstances, carried a physician to
Hamilton's house where an eXamina-
ton disclosed the fact that he had no
mumpS, but that his knees were
freshly skinned and badly swollen.
Minor scratches were also found on
his face. An arrest was Immediately
made and Hamilton was rushed to
the county Jail at Pickens
TWO women were occupying the
same room on the ground floor of the
| residence. The presence of the man
| in the room was not discovered until
he had grabbed one of the young wo-
men around the throat and her
screams awakened the other persons
sleeping in the house. A broken
latch on the window blind had ena-
bled the man to make an entrance
noiselessly as the window was up.
The screams of the young woman
not only aroused the other persons in
the house, but awakened the nearby
neighbors who rushed to their assist
ance. The negro left the house aSihe
had entered, rushed across the front
yard and bolted high wire fence. A
! neighbor saw him at this moment
| ami fired at him, but the bullet miss
| ed It's mark. Some pedestrians who
happened on the street, hearing the
screams started toward the house and
met the fleeing negro whom they
| could not halt since they were un-
| armed. They engaged in pursuit,
however, but the feet negro lodged
them shortly after the chase had
started.
The news Of the arrest spread rap
idly and within few minutes a mob
of 80 or rs men had formed to go to
Pickens to demand the prisoner. Sew
eral citizens, however, talked calmly
to the mob and finally persuaded the
members to disperse without carry
ing ont the plan. Governor Manning
was called over the telephone and he
gave assurances that special term
OF ccurt would be ordered.

Report From London.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Russia main
tains mysterious silence regarding
her operations in Galicia, while Vienna
reports that the battles are gaining in
extent and violence. 1t seems certain
tuat important events are occurring at
the only point where the Russian ar
mics can bring pressure to bear on the
Balkans without actually crossing
Rumania.
Many reports reach here that the
knstro-German and Bulgarian forces
are not only abandoning preparations
for an advance into Macedonia, but
are withdrawing troops from this
front. The action is being attributed
to the Russian offensive in Bessara-
bia, but most of these dispatches bear
the impress of the wish being father
to the thought.
Active operations in the near east
are centering in Albania. The Serb
ian army is said to be suffering from
harassing attacks by the Albanians. 1t
is predicted that the Italians will soon
clash with the Bulgarians in Albania
Paris newspapers assert that the
Entente forces operating in Albania
will soon have powerful support from
Essad Pasha.
Athens claims that the diplomatic
situation shows growing cordiality
between Greece and the Entente AL
lies.
