TIDWELL TO BE TRIED AGAIN.
Supreme Court Holds That His
Conviction Was Unlawful.

Columbia, March 15:-George W
Tidwell, the Clinton white man who
shot and killed R Emmett Walker,
one of GreenviIle's prominent young
white men, at the Carolina Cotton
Mill office, in the city of Greenville,
on Thursday morning, March IL,
1914, because of illicit relations
which Walker had with his daugh-
ter, Olive Tdwell, was this morning
given a new trial by the supreme
court. Tidwell was convicted of
manslaughter at Greenville in May
of last year and sentenced to twelve
years in the penitentiary by Judge
Thomas j Mauldin. The sentence
was reduced to seven years by for
mer Governor Cole L Blease on De-
cember 81 of last year.
The decision of the court was writ
ten by Associate Justice George w
Gage, and the new trial for Tidwell
is granted on two grounds, first, be-
cause the twelfth juror was drawn
and put in the box from an extra
venire of fifteen summoned before
the whole fifteen had been served
and gotten into court, and second,
because of the improper cross-exam-
ination of George w Tidwell and his
daughter, Olive Tidwell, and be-
cause incompetent and irrelevant
testimony was admitted bearing on
the alleged conduct of Mrs Tdwell
and of Olive Tidwell with other men.
The decision of the court was unan-
imous.
Since his shooting of young Walk
er over year ago Tidwell has been
confined in Jail at Greenyille. Gen.
eral sessions court is now sitting in
Greenville, and Tidwell may either
be retired Immediately or his new
trial may come up at the May term.

Washington, March l2:-Encour-
aging adyices telling of the relief of
the food famine in Mexico City
through the evacuation of the Cap
ital by the forces of Gen Obregon,
the Carranza commander, were be-
clouded today by the news that on
the entry of the Zapata troops John
|B McManus, an American citizen,
was murdered-shot down in his
home, the door of which had been
sealed with the coat of arms OF the
United States, and over which flew
the Stars and Stripes.
Instant demand was made by the
Brazilian minister on behalf of the
United States Government for the
punishment of those guilty of the
crime. After conference between
President Wilson and his cabinet
Secretary Bryan telegraphed the
Brazilian minister, approving OF his
action and adding a demand for
reparation to the victims family.
The minister was instructed to insist
on the early punishment of the Of
tenders and to impress upon the
post commander at Mexico City
Gen Salazar-the seriousness with
which the American Government
viewed the occurrence.
The general--who is not the same
Salazar, nor a relative of the inde-
pendent chief, who has been con-
Quoting an independent revolution
ary movement in Northern Mexico
after his escape from American Gus
today last year-promised that the
demands of the United States would
be promptly met.

A good many tobacco barns are
being built in addition to those al

The local amateur troupe, which

soon after went to IndiantoWn and
later to Bloomingvale, where they
had good audiences to witness the

many deserved complimentary re-

and let them begin to twirl the

MANY DEMOCRATS
BELIEVED DOOMED
Patrick E. McCabe, at $4,000
a Year, Is Expected To Be
of Number to Go.
From stan Correspondent o, The Trbune.l


Albany, Jan. ALL that is left OF
the thousands who were here for the
inauguration is a handful Of politicians
and Job seekers, and the few legis-
lators who make a habit Of staying in
town from New Years Day until the
opening of the session.
1t seems generally agreed that the
reorganization plans will mean the loss
Of their jobs to many Democrats, par
ticularly those in the following depart
ments: State Civil Service, Highways,
Conservation, Efficiency and Economy
and Fire Marshals.
The Legislature will meet Wednes-
day and, according to present plans,
organize and adjourn to meet the fol-
lowing Monday. One Of the first bills
TO be introduced is expected to be a
ripper busting the present State Civil
Service Commission, which has been
accused of violating the letter and
spirit of the Civil Service law by the
State Civil Service Reform Association.
Among the Democrats who are TO go
before a month is at an end, If the
present plans carry, are Patrick l..
McCabe. Conservation Commissioner
at $4,000 for term of six years;
John ID. Moore and George f. Van Ken
nen. also members of the Conservation
Commission; John II. Delaney. Cons
missioner of Efficiency and Economy,
who has three years yet 20 serve at
$4,000 annually; Thomas j. Ahearn,
fire marshal, who has bbout six months
20 serve at $1,000 a year, and two OF
the three members of the State Civil
Service Commission.
I'm addition there are scores OF places
in thees various departments which arc
considered very desirable. IL Is SAID
that no one has as yet been scheduled
for any of them.
There are many jobs open under
Lieutenant Governor Schoeneck. Sec
retarvy Of State Hugo, Treasurer
Wells. State Engineer Williams and
few small ones under the Governor
Most of these places will be filled dur
ing the coming week.

that the Socialists OF Rumanis and
