VAUGHN TRIAL IN JANUARY.

Grecnvillc Court Adjourned Without
Taking up Case as to Mans Sanity.
Columbia, Nov. lit. u. Vaughn,
who was sentenced to be electrocuted
for criminal assault alleged to have
been committed while he was superin-
tendent of the Odd Fellows Orphan
p ,me, near Greenville, will be tried
for his sanity before a Greenville
county jury in January. The. sanity
trial Of Vaughn was set for yester-
day, but the court Of General Sessions
for Greenville county adjourned yes
terday without taking up the Vaughn
case and he will face jury next jan
uary.
Vaughn is confined in the State pen
itentiary, where he has been constantly
ever since his conviction in 1913. He
fought his case through the State
courts and up through the United
States Supreme Court. but all con-
firmed the sentence Of electroction.
When he was take back to Green
vile som weeks ago to be resentenc-
ed to death the judge, on the showing
made, ordered that the question of
Vaughn's sanity should be referred to
a jury and no further steps in his
case will be taken until jury returns
a verdict as to whether he is sane or
insane. .......
Vaughn has been apparently insane
for some months. and it is said that
ne sits in the State penitentiary with
out saying word to any one and
with a vacant look on his face. He
is said to be nearly a physical wreck,
and many strong men incline to the
belief that he has become insane
since his conviction. Others think he
is simply feigning insanity in the hope
Of escaping the electric chair and be-
ing sent to the State Hospital for the
Insane. That Vaughn is sane was
held by a noted alienist of Maryland,
who examined him while here last
spring.

government in Mexico, arrived at
Nogales, Sonora, opposite here to-
night at the head of 1000 troops q
few hours after the arrival here of
Gen. Alvaro Obregon, Carranza's mill
itary commander.
Gen. ObregOn said that his presence
here at the same time Villa was visit
ing Mexican Nogales, was nothing
more than a coincidence
The Carranza leader, in an inter-
view late today, announced that he
came here to influence the Indians
now in Gen. Urabeleso's Yaqui COM
mand to switch over to the Carranza
faction.
Reports that Gen. Villa had been
offered amnesty were emphatically
denied by Gen. Obregon, who de-
clared that Villa would be treated
as an outlaw if captured.
Gen. Villa announces his visit to
Nogales was for the purpose Of con-
ferring with Carlos Randall, acting
governor Of that portion of Sonora
controlled by Villa. He said he might
make Nogales his headquarters for
future operations.

WOMAN FALLS FROM TRAIN.
Mrs. Jack Henegan, Passenger On
Carolina Special" is Picked up
Unconscious.

Columbia, Nov. 12.-Mrs. Jack
Henegan, formerly Miss Matte Lee
Smoak, of st. Matthews, is in a local
hospital, where she was brought to-
day, unconscious, after fall from the
northbound Carolina Special" be-
tween and o'clock this afternoon
near Shelton, between this city and
Union. Mrs. H negan was returning
to her home in Union after a visit to
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs A. K. Smoak
at st. Matthews. 1t is not known just
how she fell from the train. 1t seems
that she was alone on the observation
platform when the accident occurred,
and that she was not missed until
some time later. She was found eth
er on or beside the tracks by several
laborers, who took her to a nearby
house, where all assistance possible
was rendered. Mrs. Henegan re-
mained at this house until the arrival
of the southbound Carolina Special"
Wnen she was placed aboard and
brought to Columbia.
Information from the hospital late
tonight was to the effect that Mrs.
Henegan was resting easy and was
apparently not seriously hurt, al
| though it was stated that it was i'm
possible. to say at this time whether
or not she had sustained any inter-
nal injury, which. however, was not
indicated. She was somewhat hruis-
ed, it was stated. 1t was learned that
very few passengers were on the OBJ
servation car this morning, and that
1t was likely that nobody saw Mrs.
Henegan go on the rear platform.

SaAuc VI wines ana Liquors Held by

Columbia, Nov. 13.-The stock on
hand in the s dispensary counties in
the State October 1 was 1891, 1,947.3S,
according to figures made public yes
terday by L. l.. Bultman, State dis
pensary auditor. The dispensaries
must wind up their affairs and go out
of business on January and stock re-
naming on hand will be a loss to the
counties.
The greatest amount of stock was
held by Charleston, s261.515.59. Rich
lands stock amounted to $2O5.592.26.
The amount Of stock held by the 9TH
er counties was: Aiken, $54,s13.21:

Since this statement Barnwell lost
$17,659.s1 worth of stock through
the destruction of one of her dispen-
saries by fire. It is thought that
about $4,000 insurance will be coll
lected on this burned stock.
The dispensary sales for October
amounted to s344.451.70 and this
comes off the amount on hand Octo-
ber 1. However, these figures are at
retail prices, while the stock on hand
October 1 was figured at wholesale
prices and it is estimated that an av-
erage profit of 40 per cent. is added
to the wholesale price to make up the
retail prices at which the liquor In
sold through the dispensaries to the
people.
L. L. Bultman, State dispensary au-
ditor, believes several Of the coun-
ties may have stock left on hand by
the close Of the year and he will re-
port the matter to the general as
sembly.

Mother sta,e pIsapproves.


A motion has been fled in the office
OF the clerk of the United States
supreme court at Washington by
counsel representing the bondhold-
ers in the Virginia debt, to whom a
large part of the judgment awarded
by the court against West Virginia is
due. asking for the appointment OF a
receiver to take charge of the fund
when collected from this state and dis
tribute it. Virginia, however, through
Attorney f. Hilton Jackson, appeared
in court TO oppose the application, his
contention being that the case having
been prosecuted in the name and at
the cost of the state of Virginia it is
the proper one to receive the amount
from West Virginia and disburse it
equitably. 1t is expected that this
motion will be formally presented
when the court reconvenes in October.
1t was concerning this motion that
Major Holmes Conard counsel for the
bondholders was misQuoted as saying
a receivership for West Virginia would
be asked. Major Conard recently has
denied emphatically that he ever made
such statement in regard TO this
state. In conformity with it's opinion
announced June IA. the supreme court
has entered its decree in the debt suit
for the sum of $12,393. 9295O against
West Virginia, it constituting the lar
gest judgment that ever has been en-
tered against state. The decree also
provides for interest on the total judg-
ment at per cent per annum from
July 1, 1915 until paid which imposes
an additional burden on West Virginia
amounting to 100000 annually.
