JOE MALLOY INSISTS

der OF BennettSyillc Boys.
Benncttsville, May 13.-Joe Malloy
continues to declare that he is inno-
cent of the murder of Prentiss Moore
and Guy Rogers, for whose death
on the Gath day of November, Malloy
was tried and convicted in July term
Of court, 1912. After the verdict of
the jury and the sentence of the
court, an appeal was taken to the su
Drcmc court Of South Carolina and the
Judgment Of the lower court affirmed
The case was then taken to the Unit
ed States supreme court, and no error
found as was shown by the decision
Of the court filed April 5, 1915. Malloy
was sentenced to be clectrocuted Au-
gust 8, 1912, and at the July term of
be fixed for his electrocutioh.
1t will be recalled that Prentiss
Moore and Guy Rogers, two young
boys, left their homes in Bennettsville
on Thanksgiving day, 1910, and on
the Saturday following their bodies
were found in a ditch not far from
the home Of Joe Malloy, Prentiss
Moore having been killed by gun
shot wound in the back near the
shoulder blade, while Guy Rogers was
killed by a gunshot wound in almost
solid mass in the left breast Sew
eral days were consumed in investi-
cation before a coroner, and after
some time negro detective was en-
ployed, and Joe Malloy was arrested,
charged with the murder of the two
boys. The case went to the supreme
court Of South Carolina on the aues-
tton Of the admission of the evidence
of Charlotte Easterling and Steven
Toms, and also other minor questions,
and the further question that the
change in the mode Of infficting death
penalty as provided in the statute for
electrocution was unconstitutional. 1t
was this last question that was taken
to the United States supreme court.
The States correspondent talked
with Joe Malloy, and asked him if he
desired to make any statement. Nal
10y was not at all rcticent, and he
gave utterance to no hatred towards
any one. He declared most fcrvently
that he did not commit the deed
and said that he could not understand
it all, and that as there seemed to be
no hope for him, God must have some
purpose in permittn it, but it was
not in punishment for the murder of
the boys.
Malloy's manner and bearing show
submission to the inevitable, but
there was not a movement Of the
body, face, OF the eye showing
any probabill,. of confession of the
crime. y great many think that NAL
10y will confess before he is final
ly clcctrocutcd; others think that
while he is guilty he will hold out
to the end; there are those who would
like to be better satisfied Of his guilt
before knowing Of his being electro
cuted. If Malloy is guilty he is no,

CALL NATURAL GAS TALE
REGULAR ANNUAL YARN
Utilities Commission Has No Ap-
plication for Franchise to Bring
West Virginia Supply Here.

In the office of the public utilities
commission today it was said that the
published statement relative to nat
ural gas being piped here from West
Virginia is an annual event and that
nothing further is expected to be heard
from it until the next publication.
In order to bring natural gas into
the city it would be necessary for the
corporation handling the project to
make application to the public utilities
commission. An official of that body
said today he believed that natural
gas would never be brought here ex-
cept by one or both of the local COM
panies.
The published report under Cincinnati
date line said that the United States Fuel
Supply Company, which was purchased by
the Columbia Gas and Electric Company
short time ago, would soon commence
to build pipe lines from Charleston. w.
Va, to Washington and Baltimore, sup
plying those cities with natural gas from
its West Virginia wells.
The cost Of the pipe line to Baltimore
and Washington, it was stated. will reach
into the millions and take more than
year to complete.
There are a number of cities in Mary
land and Virginia on a line with Wash
ington and Baltimore which, it was
stated, would be supplied by the proposed
line, and that there would be other lines
extending north, eyo,.th and east from these
two cities when the main line was COM
pleted.

SHIP STRIKE FRUSTRATED,
SAYS SAMUEL GOMPERS
Influences With Large Financial
Backing Brought to Bear
on Labor.
Attempt to Tie Up Munitions Max
ing and Transportation Alleged
by A. F. of L. Head.

An attempt to tie up the shipping of
this country through longshoremen's
strike at every important port, and a
subsequent attempt to bring about a
strike of seamen which would tie up
steamship lines, for the purpose of
checking the expectation Of arms and
ammunition to Europe. has failed. ac-
cording to Samuel Gompers. president
of the American Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Gompers said today that leaders of
the various organizations among the
seamen and the longshoremen had
taken proper steps to offset the in
f1uence which was brought to bear to
stir up labor troubles.
81 am not certain that it was the
same influence which worked to bring
about the strike at the Remington
Arms Company at Bridgeport, Conn.,"
said Mr.. Gompers, but 1 suspect that
it was the same"
Mr.. Gompers said that he did not wish
to say at this time just what influence
has been at work, nor where he had
received his information.
Il do not want to shut off my line of
information" said he, 'by making it
public"
Hope for Early Settlement.
Mr.. Gompers said that he hoped for
an early settlement of the labor trou-
bles in Bridgeport.
Il hope for a fair settlement of the
questions at issue there" said Mr.
Gompers. TT must be born in mind
that for some time the men and wom-
en- there have been working long hours
and for comparatively small pay. And
hope these matters will be adjusted
when the settlement is made.
There is no doubt whatever that
there is systematic propaganda
working to bring about labor troubles
to check the manufacture and trans
portation of munitions in the United
States. There is no doubt that this
propaganda has almost unlimited
means at its disposal"
In many other directions also, he said,
efforts had been made by the same in
fiuence to tie up some branch of Amer
lean industry which would hamper the
manufacture or transportation Of the
munitions themselves or of the mate
rails from which they were made.
