CARLISLE NOTES.
Examinations Finished-Captain Pal
mer Inspects Unit.

Saturday, March 20, marked the
close Of the second term at Carlisle,
examinations being finished on that
day. Both faculty and students are
glad, as examinations are generally
looked upon as necessary evil. Tues
day, March 23, began the third term,
which ends at the close of the year,
many cadets were allowed furloughs
after completing their respective ex-
aminations and before beginning what
may be termed "the home stretch" of
the school year.
Captain Resolve P. Palmer, infan-
try, R. O. T. C. section of the war
plans division, general staff, from
headquarters Southern Department,
Charleston, S. c., visited Bamberg
March 20 and inspected the R. o. T.
G. unit at Carlisle. Captain Palmer
arrived in the morning and spent the
time until o'clock with the head
master and professor of military sci
ence and tactics, going over the ad-
ministration and records Of the unit.
Then followed an inspection of qua1-
ters, rifles and personnel of the bat
talon and work on the drill field in
physical training, close and extended
order, and such other exercises as
were called for.
Immediately after chapel exercises
Tuesday morning, March 9, the stu
dent body met to consider needs Of
athletics and methods of raising more
funds to support the ball team. Ap-
proximately $500 was subscribed by
the cadets, which will go to school
athletics.
The first base ball game of the sea-
son was played on the Carlisle ath-
letic field Thursday afternoon, which
resulted in victory for Carlisle. Al
though this was merely practice
game-between the Bamberg team
and Carlisle-it afforded much inter-
est and amusement for both the play
ers and spectators. Carlisle enters on
her real schedule of games next week,
the first game being with Orangeburg.
Since the purchasing of a strip Of
land joining the athletic field, work
has begun to convert this strip into
several tennis courts Work on these
courts-to-be is now going on.

Inquest Sunday.

Salley, March 28.-The coroner's
inquest into the death Of Hugh Fan
ming, Bryan Salley and Julian Coop
er, who were killed at IL o'clock last
night, about two miles from. this
town, was held here at noon today.
The triple tragedy occurred about one
mile over the Orangeburg county line
and as the coroner of that county
was out of the state the inquiry was
conducted by w. R. Kirkland, magis-
trate at Norway, who came to Salley
this morning with Sheriff Dukes. The
verdict charged Carlos Corbett with
the death of the three men.
There was one witness-Louis Sal
ley, IS years of age, the only occu-
pant of the automobile not wounded.
He testified that the three men who
were killed, he and Jones Salley, who
is in a critical shape at hospital in
Columbia, left Salley in an automo-
bile and that the machine got stuck
in some pumice in front of Carlos
Corbett's house and that the pumice
caught fire from back-fire. He said
that as they later came back past
Corbett's home he was out in the
road in his night clothes and stopped
the car. The witness said that COT
bett cursed and that the party IN the
automobile tried to reason with him.
Corbett wanted to know what SET
fire to the pumice, Salley said.
A large crowd attended the inquest,
the verdict of which was that these
three young men came to their death
from gunshot wounds at the hands OF
Carlos Corbett.
Corbett went to Columbia to give
himself up and it is understood that
he reached the penitentiary at an
early hour this morning.

hanson worked for him. Some days
before the killing witness went to
Kirkland's store for gasoline, and
that Brabham told him he had a
wooden overcoat" for a. man who
worked for the witness.
G. Marion Mcmillan testified to
hearing a part of the conversation
testified to by Mrs. e. F. Zeigler.
Miss Annette Moody, sister of Mrs.
Williamson, heard Brabham make
threats against the Williamson fami-
ly. That her sister asked him about
it, and told him she did not mean
she would kill Brabham's son.
Several witnesses testified to the
good character Of R. o. Williamson,
who first lived in York county, then
in Barnwell. One witness, j. "A.
Moody, father of Mrs. Williamson,
said he knew Brabham in what is
now Allendale county, and that his
reputation then was bad. That was
several years ago.
The defendant was the last witness
called. AS to dates, his testimony
was somewhat confusing. He stated
that on Monday before the killing he
met Brabham, who asked him to 90
to an office and talk over their differ
ences-caused by the little boys
trouble. Witness told Brabham it
was nothing but women's and child
ren's talk and he would not pay any
attention to it, but Brabham warned
him he had better talk to his wife
Wednesday his wife told him Brab-
ham had cursed her and told her he
would kill the whole family. Saw
him coming Sunday and asked him
about cursing his wife. He told OF
the conversation following, ending
by Brabham telling him he would go
get his gun, and started toward his
own house. He then shot him
Brabham turned and Williamson
said he was coming toward him when
he fired the second shot He was
afraid he would be killed was the
reason he had killed Brabham.. Brab-
ham had had his foot on Williamson
step when they were talking. WE.
ness said he was not mad at Brab-
ham, and had no hard feeling to-
| ward him.
Asked on cross examination if be
killed Brabham because the latter
cursed his wife, he stated positively
that he did not, but shot because he
| felt his life was in danger.

SHOTS.
Another Wounded.
Hugh Tanning, Julian Cooper and
Bryan Salley Killed on the Spot.
All Salley Section Men.

Columbia, May 29.-Carlos Cor
bett, who shot three men to death
and probably fatally wounded a
fourth late Saturday night near Salley,
Aiken county, came to Columbia and
surrendered to authorities at the state
penitentiary early yesterday morning.
On advice of counsel he refused to
discuss the circumstances in connec-
ton with the tragedy. The three
men who were killed instantly we're:
Julian Cooper, % years old and mar
ried; Hugh flaming, 80, unmarried,
and Bryan Salley, 21 or %, unmar-
ried. Corbett is As years old.
James Salley, a widower, 63 years
old, was brought to the Columbia
hospital early yesterday morning. He
has four wounds. One bullet entered
the left temple and passed through
the head. The optic nerves were so
injured that both eyes were Destroy
ed. A second bullet passed through
the biceps of the left arm, entered
the body and lodged in the chest. A
third ball entered the forearm and
ranged downward one-half the
length of the arm before it made its
exit. Two bullets are also said to
have grazed Mr.. Salley's back, caus-
ing slight abrasions.
Escapes by Strategy.
Louis Salley, IS years old, fell
posing as if shot and escaped without
injury. He ran for help when Corbett
is said to have gone back into the
house to reload his weapon after fir
ing the first fusilade.
Julian Cooper was the first man
killed. He was shot through the left
temple. He leaves a wife and two
small children.
Julian flaming received two bull

Burning cane pumice in the road in
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1920-04-01

A. Corbett, who last night killed
Hugh flaming, Julian Cooper and
Bryan Salley and seriously wounded
Jones Salley at the Corbett home, in
Orangeburg county, two miles from
Salley, came to Columbia early this
morning in an automobile and sur
rendered himself to the state peni-
Tertiary authorities.
Corbett said that he acted in de-
fense of life and to protect his home
against the alleged marauding party.
According to Corbett's story, he
and his wife were awakened last
night about II o'clock, by flames
shooting up in the front of his home,
which, along with his farm build
ings, were threatened.
He said that he had cane stacked
in front of his house to the height
of three feet paralleling the public
highway, and this was afre with the
flames shooting toward the house.
When he had the fire under control,
he said, the automobile, bearing
party which had passed his house
came back up the road. He averred
that one of the party said: "He has
put out the fire, let's start it again.
Corbett said he was standing in
dense smoke emanating from the
smouldering Goals and they did not
SEQ him. n
Threatened His Life.
"When this threat was made"
said Corbett, II warned the party
that l would protect my wife and
my home at all hazards, and after
1 had spoken, one Of the men,
hoarse voiced man, Jonas Salley, l
think. exclaimen: Damn you, we
will kill you?' With this, two of the
men got out of the front of the car
and advanced toward me with their
hands in their hip pockets and two
other men left the rear of the car
with their hands in their side pock-
cts like they were going to draw
their knives. These last two ad-
yanced as if they were trying to cut
me off from the rear. l then began
shooting
Corbett said that when he first
discovered the fire he smelled an
odor of either gasoline or kerosene,
and he is of the opinion that some
member of the party sprinkled the
cane and then ignited it.
He was of the opinion that the
members of the party who live at
Salley were drinking. He claims
that he was cold sober and has not
taken a drink of intoxicating liquor
during the past eight years. He
could attribute no cause for the men
attempting to burn his house, as he
alleged.
Corbett was formerly chief OF
police of Salley, and is now farming.
He is about six feet tall, of sparse,
powerful frame, clean cut face and
piercing, fearless eyes. When seen
at the state prison he was calm and
collected and no element of nervous
ness was apparent. He said that he
came to Columbia to give himself up
to avoid possible further trouble.
He said that he has large family
connections in the Salley section as
have the dead men. Had he re-
NAMED, these two elements might
have come together, engendering
possible riot and further bloodshed.
He said that he shot with 80
