Grand Jury PreSentment.
To His Honor, Judge S w G Shipp
Presiding Judge:

To His Honor, Judge S W G Shipp,
Presiding Judge:
We, the Grand Jury of Williams
burg county, having completed all
of the business that has come before
us at this term of court, and having
made the usual Investigations, desire
to herewith make our report:
We desire first of all to express
our thanks for the courteous treat
ment that we have received at the
hands of His Honor, Judge Shipp,
and for the able manner in which he
has explained the law to US and
thereby assisting us greatly in per-
forming our duties in an orderly
and expeditions manner. We also
desire to express our thanks to the
Solicitor, who has, by his advice and
assistance, aided US passing upon all
matters that have come to our at
tention.
l. We have passed upon II bills,
of this number we have found II
true bills.
2. We have examined all of the

This is purely and simply the sum
and substance of the case without
any legal or technical garnishments
the plain facts in the case as they
were recited at the Coroner's inquest
and before the jury who heard the
case in the court Of general sessions
Tuesday, composed of men not op-
posed to inficting the death penalty
for cause. Yet after seven hours OF
deliberation a mistrial was announc-
ed at midnight.
The evidence in the case was
plain and straightforward; the guilt
of the accused was proved beyond a
reasonable doubt. The Judges
charge to the jury was as plain and
simple as he could have made it,and
despite all this the county must un-
dergo the expense of trying this
wretched negro again for the same
crime, all on account of the bone
headedness of several of the jurors
who sat upon the case Tuesday.
The six members of the grand
jury to be held over for next year
are: VII Touchberry, T B Patrick,
w H Parker, H S B Johnson, T B
Feagin and w D Bryan.

dav at 6 %. m

county offices and find that they are
being regularly and properly kept.
We have examined the accounts of
all of the county officers and find
that they are correct in every detail
and books neatly kept.
3. We have visited the jail and
find same in good condition. We
find that it is clean and the prison
ers are we'll cared for. We would
recommend, however, that the por-
ton of the Jail in which the prison
ers are confined be screened i'm
mediately on account of the mos
quitoes. which are nuisance IN
that part Of town.
4. We find that the jurors rooms
of the court house are almost filled
with ballot boxes. old stoves, etc,
and we would recommend that the
proper authorities build a small
metal building adjoining the coal
building for this property to be
stored in.
5. We are glad to report that the
County Commissioner C has adopted our
last recommendation and is keeping
a correct record of all county prop
erty that is in the hands of the Road
Engineer.
6. Rural Policeman Stancill has
turned in his report of the work
done by him from the time of his
appointment, October, 1912, to Oc-
tober, 1915. The fines from the
cases that he has prosecuted have
amounted to S2,390.00, and time
served where fines were not paid is
2,175 days. Rural Policeman Allen
failed to hand in an itemized report,
but from the number of cases he
has appeared in, we believe that his
report would be equally as good.
We desire to commend both of these
officers for the services they are
rendering the county in their efforts
to preserve law and order.
All of which is respectfully SUBJ
mitted. VII CARR,
Foreman of Grand Jury for
Williamsburg County.

last July. Davis, who plead his own
case. was convicted and sentenced to
18 months on the county chaingang.
/ Stephen GUIDE, white, charged with
assault and battery, plead his own
case. He was acquitted by the jury.
In the case of the State against
James Haines, a young negro boy,
charged with breaking into the store
of Mr. C H Gordon near Heming-
way, the jury was directed by the
court to write a verdict of not guilty.
The most, interesting case to come
before the court at this session was
that of the State against Colon Pat.
terson, a negro, charged with muir
der, in that he did on Saturday night,
October 2, wilfully, maliciously and
with malice aforethought take the
life of one Lizzie Wilder by shooting
her in the back with a shot gun, and
so far as was proven by the testi-
mony of six or seven witnesses, with
out the slightest cause or provoca-
ton. To the Solicitor and large
majority of others who heard the
testimony at the Coroner's inquest
and at the trial in the court of gen.
eral sessions Tuesday the affair had
the complexion of a cold-blooded
murder.
When the negro was first arraign-
ed at the bar he wanted to plead
guilty in order that he might get off
with a life sentence by the court.
The Solicitor would not accept his
plea, feeling that he deserved the
full penalty of the law for his crime,
and the court appointed attorneys to
conduct his case. At best, even they
could hope only for conviction with
a recommendation to mercy.
A jury of twelve intelligent gen.
tlemen was empaneled and the case
went to trial on its merits. Every
scintilla of evidence pointed either
directly or indirectly to the guilt of
the accused. Henry Wilder, the old
father of the dead woman, saw Pat
terson as his daughter fell, with the
gun in his hands; Robert Epps ran
out Of the house in pursuit of the
murderer and after receiving a Sc
we're blow on his head with the gun,
still in the hands of the fleeing ne
gro, Patterson, a blow that necessi-
tated six stitches in the wound and
crooked the barrel of the gun to an
angle of several degrees, captured
him. The gun was identified as be-
longing to Lizzie Wilder, in whose
house Patterson had made his home
for some months past.
1t was shown by two witnesses
that Patterson had quarreled with
the Wilder woman on the previous
Friday night and threatened to cut
her neck off,"
Another witness testified that Sat-
urday about II or IL o'clock Patter-
son came to him and said. L raised
hell last night, but l am going to
raise more hell tonight" Saturday
afternoon Patterson came to Kings
tree; that night he. as was his Gus
tom, went to Lizzie Wilder's house
and, not finding her there, he picked
up the gun and went inquest of her.
He found her at the home of Henry
Wilder, her father. Leaving the gun
outside, he went in. After failing in
an attempt at reconciliation with
the woman for the abuse and threats
he had heaped upon her the night
before, he stepped outside, picked up
the gun and fired its contents into
her back, inhicting a mortal wound.

COURT OF G. S.
HOLDS BUSY Term
SESSION MARKED FOR RAPID
WORK.--MISTRlAL IN ONE
MURDER CASE.

MUkDEk CASE.
The fall term of the court of gen.
eral sessions convened at 10 o'clock
Monday morning Judge S W G Shipp
of Florence presiding. Court Sten.
ographer L E Wood of Sumter was
at his post when the crier announced
the opening of the session, as were
also all other officials of the tribunal.
Solicitor Stoll handed the fore
man of the jury number of bills
for consideration, among which were
two murder cases.
Judge Shipp charged the grand
siurymen briefly, and they left the
court room to take up their work.
The first case brought to trial was
that of the State against Burrell
Kelley, white man, charged with
the killing of Willie Singletary, a
negro man, at lumber camp near
Taft about year ago. The evidence
in this case was practically the same
as that offered at a former trial,
when the jury failed to agree upon
a verdict. 1t was shown that the
negro went to the camp of Kelley,
took his stand near the fire where
Kelley was cooking his supper and
proceeded to roll cigarette over
the vessels in which the meal was
being prepared. Kelley ordered the
negro several times to get away
from his pots, as the tobacco would
fall into his victuals. The negro re-
fused to move as ordered and swore
at Kelley, whereupon the latter
struck him on the head with a light
wood stick, the blow fracturing the
negro's skull. The accused was ac-
quilted.
David Frazier, a young negro, was
arraigned on charge of forgery
and plead guilty. He was sentenced
by the court to term of two years
on the county chaingang and to pay
a fine of S..
Joe Davis. negro, indicted for as
sault and battery, plead guilty, and
the court sentenced him to sixty
days on the chaingang or pay a fine
of $40.
John Harrington, negro, also plead
guilty to the charge of assault and
battery with intent to kill. He was
sentenced to serve one year on the
chaingang or pay fine of $3.50.
Sam Singletary.a Misunderstanding
Young negro with a goodreputation,
was arraigned charged with the
murder of Jack Pringle and plead
not guilty. His case went to trial
and the jury found in accordance
with his plea, the evidence in the case
being strongly in favor of their de-
cision, inasmuch as it clearly showed
that Pringle had harassed the de-
fendant all day and at night went
into his home and continuedto make
abusive threats against Singletary
and other members of his family.
Jeff Prichard,a negro, plead guilty
; 20 Indictment for aggravated as
sault and battery, and the court fix
ed his punishment at sixty days on
the chaingang or pay a fine OF $50.
Lewis Davis. negro, who claims
Florence as his home, was arralgned
ona charge of carbreaking and taking
50 worth of watermelons therefrom
