TRAGIC DEATH.
Carl Bouye Dragged by Mule-Flesh
Torn From His Body.

Lexington, May 31.-Carl Bouye,
16-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Pickens w. Bouye, residing one and
one-haIf miles west of Lexington,
met a horrible death at noon today
when he attempted to ride a young
mule to the house from the field,
where he had been plowing. While
no one witnessed the accident, it is
supposed that the mule threw the
lad. The trace chains we're loose
and the unfortunate child was en-
tangled and dragged for a quarter
of mile, while the frightened ami
NAL was running at fast gait. The
mule did not stop until it reached
a rye patch near the house. 1t was
necessary to remove the chains from
around the boys legs and body, so
tightly had they become woven about
him. The sight which greeted Mrs.
Bouye, the boys mother, was a
ghastly one, she being the first to
reach his side. The boy lived but
a few moments after he had been
released and examination revealed
the fact that all of the flesh had been
torn from both legs and from one
arm and the skin almost completely
removed from his body.

PINK BELLINGER HOME.
Popular Young Lawyer Returns
Home After Service in France.

R. P. Bellinger, Esq, prominent
young attorney of this city, returned
home this week, after completing his
service in the army. Mr.. Bellinger
was discharged about three weeks
ago. For the last two weeks he has
been visiting his sister, Mrs. w. j.
Faulkner, in Atlanta.
Mr.. Bellinger served little more
than a year in the expeditionary
forces in France, where he was de-
tailed to do legal work connected
with the army camps. During his
stay in France, he took occasion to
visit many cities of interest, about
which he wrote many very interesting
and entertaining letters, these letters
appearing in The Herald at intervals.
Those who read Mr.. Bellinger's
letters will be delighted to know that
he has halfway promised to make
some more contributions after he
rests up a while. Our readers VIII
recall that he promised to make
visit to Paris and tell The Herald.
subscribers about it. About that
time, however, he learned that he
would soon depart for America; con-
sequently the Paris trip was never
written up. Mr.. Bellinger, however,
succeeded in making visit to the
French capital and will doubtless en-
tighten our readers in the near fu-
ture on the sights and interesting
things he saw there.

TESTIMONY AT INQUEST.
Facts Developed as to the killing of
James c. Harley.

Allendale,, May 3O.-Testimony to-
day at the inquest into the death of
James G. Harley, prominent farmer
of Allendale, who was killed here
last Saturday night in a duel in a
Main street grocery store, clearly es-
tablishes that Greene Williams, also
of Allendale, and now held in Barn
we'll Jail for participation in the
shooting, did not fire all of the shots
that hit Harley. The shooting, which
began in the presence of city po-
liceman and within a few doors of
where the chief of police was stand
ing, occurred just inside the door of
grocery store. The testimony is
that several shots were fired from
the outside into the store. Williams
was using a 32-caliber pistol, from
which one she'll was fired. The bull
let causing the death of Harley by
penetrating the abdomen is said to be
similar to the unfired bullets in the
pistol used by Williams. Two other
bullets struck Harley in the head.
Steel-jacketed bullets were found in
the doorway of the store. Harley's
pistol has not been found. He was
buried Monday. The inquest was
continued pending certain investiga-
tions.

now" Without further warning he
began firing point blank into the ma
chine driven by Lorick.
The first shot struck Mrs. Lancas-
ter, Harmon said, for she fell to the
side, the head hanging out over the
door of the car. The second shot
struck Lorick, whose head sank down
behind Mrs. Lancaster's form. Nj.
Lancaster only recently had broken
his leg and in attempting to jump
out of the transfer he fell to the
ground. He fired simultaneously
with the leap and it was this shot
that went wild, the negro said, as
Lorick had dropped from the steer
Ing wheel and the car was running
loose into the fence. The policeman
then ordered the negro to help him
back in the transfer. The negro
obeyed. He was then ordered by the
policeman to drive the. transfer out
to where Lorick's car had rolled.
Again Mr.. Lancaster hobbled out Of
the car. Harmon said Mr.. Lancaster
began crying and said something
about his darling wife. He then fired
four or five shots into the breast OF
the woman and several more into
Lorick's chest. Both were apparent
ly dead before the second volley was
fired, the negro said.
R. Howell and G. P. Smith, young
white men, were in a cold drink
stand nearby when the shooting be-
gan. Both testified that they saw
Policeman Lancaster get up and get
back in the transfer and then drive
to the other automobile and empty
both pistols, which fully substantial

jurors were: George S. Morrison,

NEW DEVELOPMENT.
Woman Swears Crowd of Farmers
Shot Marley.

Aiken, June 2.-Apparently new
light has been thrown upon the mys-
terious killing of Jim Hogg and H.
D. Marley, the two well-known plant
ers in the Allendale section, last
week. The report first sent out
broadcast over the country that
Hogg was shot by Marley, and then,
while Hogg was wounded and lying
on the ground, that he shot and
killed Marley, has been completely
upset, according to the testimony of
Carrie Stanley, at Aiken before Hon.
Robert L. Gunter, the solicitor of the
circuit.
From the evidence of Carrie STAN
ley, who is separated from her hus-
band and has been Marley's house
keeper, it appears that a crowd of
white farmers of the Allendale Sec
ton shot Marley to death after coax
ing him out of his house with the
promise of protecting him on his way
to surrender to the sheriff.
Woman's Testimony. =.
Carrie Stanley appeared before So
licitor Gunter here and has sworn
that a crowd of men, consisting of
Herman Lee, John Dunbar, George
D. Kirkland, Henry D. Best, Paul
Black, Hughes Reeves and Buck Lew
is, came up to the Marley place after
the shooting of Hogg by Marley, and
after getting him to come out on the
ground, John Dunbar shot him twice
with a pump gun which he (Dunbar)
had taken from the hands of Buck
Lewis.
According to the report it appears
that gathering of 10 farmers were
attending a fish catch and dinner at
Cohen's Bluff. Jim Hogg and Buck
Lewis, whose home is on the Georgia
side of the river near Brier Creek,
went down to the home of H. D.
Marley, about three-quarters of a
mile from Cohen's Bluff, to pay a
visit. AS Hogg reached the Marley
gate he was attacked by Marley's
dog, and being afraid of a bad bite
from the animal, is alleged to have
shot and killed it forthwith. Marley,
seeing the dead dog, and Hogg with
his gun in his hand, came out of his
home and is said to have fired one
load Of shot in the breast Of Hogg,
who fell face down on the ground.
Lewis then lodged behind a tree
until Marley entered his home, when
he ran to the other members of the
fishing party and told them of the
shooting.
Marley Fatally Shot.
It is testified by Carrie Stanley
further that the whole party, some
eight in number, then hastened to
the Marley home, and after coaxirg
him outside shot him to death.
The affidavits of each member OF
the party conflict with the wom-
ans statement, the party claiming
that Marley was standing over the
PROSTATE body of Hogg when the
party arrived, and that Marley ap-
peared in a threatening manner.
The testimony Of the woman states

WHITE MAN SLAIN.
Jay Lync: Taken From Courtroom
and Lynched.

Lamar, Mo-, May 2S.-ShortlE ait
er Jay Lynch had pleaded guilty to
the murder of Sheriff John Harlow
and his son and had been sentepced
to life Imprisonment here late today.
"a men entered the courtroom, took
Lynch from the hands of officers and
hanged him in the yard before a
crowd of 500 persons. When Lynch, 5
body was swung into the air, the
spectators, including many women
and children, cheered.
Lynch is one of few white men to
be lynched in Missouri.
Immediately .,fteI Judge b. U.
Thurman passed sentence, he or
dered Lynch taken to his office under
guard of seven deputies. Here ne
was allowed to greet his wife, baby,
mother and sister. His handouts had
been removed that he might hold his
baby and he had just given the child
back to it's mother when the men en-
tered and seized him.
Lynch was brought from Hutter,
Mo-, today, where he had been held
in jail since his arrest in Colorado
several weeks ago. There we're no
threats or show of violence before
hand and, according to witnesses, the
mob gathered quietly in the corri-
dors of the courthouse and in the
yard.
Capital punishment is not possible
under a law enacted by the legisla-
ture in 1917. An attempt was made
to repeal the present law shortly aft
er the Lynch shooting and the chief
supporter of the repeal of the law
was Representative Henry Chancellor
of Barton county, where Lynch was
hanged.
Lynch was arrested at Lamar, on
the request of St. Louis authorities,
where he was charged with box car
robbery. On March Sheriff Harlow,
in response to request of Lynch to
use the long distance telephone,
opened his cell. Lynch drew a re-
volver and shot the sheriff, killing
him instantly. The son of the sheriff
came to his fathers rescue and was
also shot by Lynch and died two
days later.
A posse with bloodhounds attempt
ed to trail Lynch but failed.
Leaving Lamar, Lynch, according
to his confession, went to Kansas
City and from there to St. Louis,
where he obtained funds from friends
and going to Jacksonville, ILL.,, he
purchased a motor car and started
West. He was refused permission
to cross the Mexican border and con-
tinued on to Los Angeles. Coming
back east, he was recognized at La
Junta, Col, by resident of Lamar,
and arrested on May IA. He was
brought back to Missouri and con-
fined at Butler, the authorities at
that time believing that he would
not be safe at Lamar because of the
intense feeling. After his return to
Butler, Lynch confessed that he had
tramped through the country sur
rounding Lamar after his escape and
once while being trailed by the posse
with bloodhounds had stood on one
of the street corners of the town and
watched the posse work. While
Lynch made no confession as to
where he had obtained the weapon
which he used to kill Sheriff Harlow
and his son, his mother and wife
were supposed to have smuggled it to
him They were held Immediately
after his escape on the charge of
being accessories to the crime.
