tails are available, Secretary Lansing
stated that the position Of the Ameri-
can government could not be deter
mined.
From news dispatches. however
and a closer reading of official re-
ports of yesterday, officials were in
clined to the view that inasmuch as
the Armenian apparently refused to
submit TO the warning command Of
the German submarine TO halt, and
attempted to escape, according 10 in
ternational law the sinking of the
vessel was justified even though non
cOmbatants were on board
Sought TO EVadc Capture.
There was little tension over the
incident in official quarters here after
II became known that the Armenian
had sought to evade capture 1t was
admitted that if official reports bore
out the press dispatches there was no
likelihood that any new cause OF
complaint would be added to the is
Sues pending between the United
States @ernany.
one O, tcials suggested that
inasmuch many had in effect
given warning that enemy ships
would be torpedoed without warning,
a merchantmen carrying contraband
might be justified in attempting to
escape since TO halt would mean GER
tain destruction. with no assurances
of an opportunity for the crew TO es-
cape. II was pointed out that The

que that the German submarines
might not order vessels to stop merely

Others however, declared that the

The only fact of Importance re-

The president continued his policy
of refusing to discuss the sinking Of

latest word from Ambassador Page.
He continued however to hold him

1t was indicated here tonight that
the investigation into the sinking Of
the Armenian would be continued to
determine all of the facts connected
with the clearance Of the vessel from

American muleteers lost when She

Mr. Wilson has been receiving i'm
formation about the Armenian later

cause the mails have been used in

telegraph or telephone. BY tomorrow
however, Secretary Lansing is expect

Surgeons had Sheriff Hood upon

and eighteen perforations were
found in his intestines. He was
given every attention, but his con-
dition from the first was hopeless,

IsENHoWER SHOT SIX TIMES.
Clyde Isenhower, said to be the
principal in the fatal tragedy, and
Deputy Sheriff Earle Stevenson were
taken to Chester on the afternoon
train. DR. S W Pryor, their physi-

shot six or seven times, and had
thirteen openings in his body. Dep

slight wounds. Ernest Isenhower,

were arrested this afternoon and
lodged in Jail, charged with the

his associates listened with serious
attention this afternoon during the
charge by Judge Wilson and the
general opinion is that those re-

have to answer for it.
Clyde Isenhower, said to be the
principal in the shooting, was far
mer, and resided in the Wateree
section, about seven miles from here.
He has large number of brothers;
one of them, Ernest, who is in Jail

Deputy Sheriff Earle Stevenson, VINO
was right behind him, was shot twice
in the left arm, practically severing
it from his body. One bullet struck
Rural Policeman J R Boulware in
his stomach, probably fatally wound
ing him. Deputy Sheriff B R Beck
man was shot in the left leg. Con-
stable R L Kelley was shot in the
thumb and right arm. Deputy
Sheriff J w Broom received several
bullets through his pants and one
grazed his left foot.
From all the information obtain
able the consensus of opinion is that
Clyde Isenhower began the shooting
and it is said that his first bullet
killed the negro prisoner. He him
self was fatally wounded, being shot
several times, and received thirteen
openings in his body as a result of
bullets lodging there. 1t is thought
that Sheriff Hood directed his fire at
Clyde Isenhower, for the Sheriff
emptied his pistol. Isenhower, af-
ter being shot to pieces, staggered
into the Sheriff's office and had un-
breeched his pistol and reloaded it
before he fell faint from the loss of
blood.
OTHERS WOUNDED.
Jesse Morrison, a brother-in-law
Of Eisenhower, and said to have been
a member of the mob, received a
scalp wound in the head and had a
thumb shot away. D F Smith, a by
stander, took refuge behind a tree
and bullet just grazed his stomach.
Probate Judge w L Holley was
standing in the door of the court
house at the time of the shooting
and bullet buried itself in the door
facing atIhis side. Although NOR
tallyl wounded, Sheriff Hood took
the negro prisoner, who was sinking
from the effects of the fatal bullet
in his stomach, up the steps of the
court house and into the room and
pushed him into the dock before ne
succumbed. AS he fell to the floor,
he said to Solicitor Henry; They

oner lived only about ten minutes.

Sheriff and Prisoner Shot to Death on Court
House Steps by a Mob---Several Deputies
Wounded---Leader of Outlaws Dead.

Winnsboro, June 15:-Sheriff A
D Hood killed in performance of his
duty, Jules Smith, a negro charged
with criminal assault, and Clyde
Isenhower, a relative of Smiths al
legged intended victim, dead; Deputy
Sheriff Earle Stevenson desperately
wounded, his left arm being practi-
cally shot off, Rural Policeman j K
BoalWare shot in the pit of. his
stomach and barely living, and Jesse
Morrison, brother-in-law of lsen-
hover and a member of the attack
ing party, shot in the head, and sew
eral other deputy sheriffs wounded,
tell the horrible results of an attack
by a small mob on the Sheriff here
this morning while he was ascend
ing the court house steps with the
negro who was to be placed on trial
for his life.
Sheriff Hood went to Columbia
this morning and brought Jules
Smith, the negro who was to be
tried for the awful crime, back to
Winnsboro to put him on trial for
his life. The negro had been in the
State penitentiary for safe-keeping
and the Sheriff was accompanied by
several deputies. This precaution
was taken in view of certain threats
said to have been uttered. The
Sheriff and his prisoner reached here
in safety. With the negro walking
between him and Policeman Haynes,
the. Sheriff had started up the steps
to the court house, his deputies fol-
lowing in the rear, when a fusillade
of shots broke out. The first bullet
struck the negro prisoner in the
stomach with fatal results. The
second bullet from the mob hit
Sheriff Hood.
PROMISCUOUs FIRING.
By this time the fusillade had be-
come general, the mob firing pro-
miscuously into the crowd which
was following the Sheriff and his
party no the steps to the. court
room. AS soon as he could draw
his plstol.. Sheriff Hood returned the
fire and several of his deputies join-
ed in the affray. Sheriff Hood was
shot five times, three times in the
stomach, in his right side, in left
arm, between shoulder and elbow.
