LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
w. E. Bush Convicted Of Muir
der In Second Degree For
Killing E. w. Thurmond.
Jury MercifuE.

One of the most aggravated cases
of homicide yet recorded in the
criminal annals of Edgefield county
was brought to a close Saturday
morning when the sentence Of life
Imprisonment in the State peniten-
,iary was pronounced upon Mr.. w.
e. Bush for the killing of Mr.. E,
w. Thurmond February Is in pub
lic road near Red Oak Grove church.
The tragedy made orphans of two
children of the slain man and left
the wife and five small children of
the slayer practically penniless.
In the few but impressive re-
marks which he addressed to the
condemned man in passing sentence,
Judge Memminger said that he had
tried large number of homicide
cases, but that this was the first in
which the defendant offered no real
excuse for shedding human blood
and that the jury had exercised
mercy in saving him from the ex-
treme penalty of the law.
Mr.. Bush married sister of Mr..
Thurmopd and about two weeks be-
fore the homicide occurred beat her
severely. Mr.. Thurmond visited
his sister soon after this cruel treat
,uent by her husband, but did not
zee Mr.. Bush at the time. Later he
wrote Mr.. Bush note asking him
not to mistreat his sister again.
This note was produced in evidence
by the defendant, but appeared to
have been changed by different
handwriting, making it embody an
implied threat. 1t was soon after
the note was received that Mr.. Bush
met Mr.. Thurmond in the public
road and shot him to death without
a word being uttered by either,
Mr.. Thurmond was accompanied
in the wagon by three children,
whom he was taking TO the neigh
borhood school, the eldest being his
daughter, IA years of age. She and
another little girl testified that as
Mr.. Bush. approached the wagon he
afiiighfed from his mule and shot
Mr.. Thurmond in the face, the
ball entering his nostril and passing
out of the back of the head.
He fell from the wagon upon his
face and while in the throes of
death Mr.. Bush stood over the
form and fired four shots in the
back. Two men who were about
100 yards away testified rs to the
last four shots also. After the first
shot Mr.. Thurmond's daughter beg
ged Mr.. Bush not to shoot her faith
er again. In testifying in his own
behalf Mr.. Bush stated that be shot
in self-defense, Mr.. Thurnond be-
ing in the act Of drawing pistol
when he fired. Eye witnesses sWore
that Mr.. Thurmond was unarmeG.
When Mr. Bush surrendered to the
sheriff the afternoon of the homi-
eide he gave the officer an inferior
pistol which ne said he had picked
up near the body of Thurmond.
The State introduced testimony
to show that Mr.. Bush obtained this
pistol from a relative while on his
way to Edgefeld. The tragedy oc-
Cured in densely populated sec
tion of the county, which caused a
great number of friends and neigh
bors of both families to attend the
trial, but the best of order prevailed
throughout both days.

The relation between feeding anG literary labor was carefully inyestigat, ed some years ago by an eminent French publicist. NJ. Claude Berton. Taking Zola as Il typical case, M.

On tho advice of q doctor he cut down his provender, and the result was "I.ourdes." NJ.
