COURT RESERVES DECISION.
Carlos Corbett Case Argued Before
Supreme Court.

Columbia, May 9.-An appeal from
the ruling of Judge S. w. G. Shipp,
that Carlos Corbett, Orangeburg coun-
ty, cannot be tried for the alleged
murder of Julian Cooper and Hugh
Tanning, near Salley, March %, 1920,
because he would be placed in jeop-
ardy twice for the same offense, was
argued before the state supreme court
here today by Solicitor Hydrick and
associates representing the state. De-
cision was reserved. Corbett was ac-
quilted at Orangeburg last year for
the murder of Bryan Salley, who
along with the other two msn was
shot to death by Corbett. He is in
dicted for the>other two alleged murd-
ers and for assault and battery on
Jones Salley, whose eyes he shot out
at the same time. Judge Shipp, in
his opinion, contended that the kill
ings were one and the same offense
and the state argues that each con-
stitutes separate offense.

MOVED FOR SAFEKEEPING.
Prisoner is Transferred Following
Formation of Large Crowd
In Greenville.

Greenville, May 7. - William
Thompson, negro, alleged to have
shot and fatally wounded City Police
man George Burroughs last night,
was captured tonight by d posse OF
officers and citizens about three miles
east of the city, after an exchange of
shots in which one Of the pusuers
was slightly wounded. Thompson
officials here stated, confessed to the
attack upon Policeman Burroughs.
Armed citizens numbering several
hundred organized under the direc-
tion of officers and formed a vast hu-
man dragnet in the woodland and
swamps to the east of the old camp
Sewer and the present public health
service hospital They were Joined
by a large number of convalescent
patients from the hospital and a sys-
tematic cearch for the negro insti-
gated.
After the chase of almost three
hours, two city policemen and one
citizen halted a figure crossing the
then dark mountain creek road.
Caught off his guard, the negro did
not offer resistance but permitted the
three to capture him. One of the Off
GERS asked him his name, and he
without hesitation told him and con-
fessed to the killing Of Policeman
Burroughs.
The rest of the searching party was

Established in 1891
Will Probably Build Edisto
Road and Bridge During Year

made available for permanent road
and bridge work in the county. The
Orangeburg authorities expressed
themselves as being anxious to carry
the road to the river and construct
the bridge, and upon ascertaining the
readiness of the BAN berg authorities
to cooperate, expressed the belief that
the work could be pushed to compile
tion this year.
The question of the erection Of a
bridge is one Of considerable magni-
tude. The details of the bridge con-
struction are yet to be worked out,
but the problem is not a grave one
to Bamberg county. The federal gov
ernment stands ready to bear one
half of the cost, thereby making the
cost to this county only one-fourth,
or perhaps not so much, as it is un-
derstood that the greater portion Of
the bridge will be upon the Orange
burg side of the river. 1t is con-
templated to erect permanent
bridge of steel or concrete, or both,
if such is possible, and if this is not
practicable, to erect substantial
wooden bridge at the point of cross
ing. 1t is believed, however, that a
steel or concrete bridge will be built,
as the cost of construction, while
much greater than a wooden bridge,
will be an excellent investment in
years to come,
The causeway on the Bamberg side
will not be more than one-half to
three-fourths of a mile, while the
Orangeburg distance is much greater.
The matter of financing the project,
SO far. as Bamberg is concerned, can
be handled without difficulty. The
county has a surplus from it's road
fund of about $4,000, and while it
was contemplated that the Denmark
Barnwell county link would be built
with that fund, it has been ascertain
ed that the road tax this year will
likely raise sufficient funds for that
purpose, and still leave practically
all of the surplus now on hand. It is
likely that this fund will be almost if
not entirely sufficient to build the
county's share of the causeway
through the swamp and also pay it's
portion of the bridge work.

Representative J. Carl Kearse stat
ed Monday morning that arrange
ments are now being made for the
construction of the Orangeburg-Bam-
berg road through the Edisto river
swamp. Last week The Herald call
ed attention to the status of the
swamp link of the Columbia-Savan-
nah highway, in which it was pointed
out that the Orangeburg authorities
had held up work on the Orangeburg
county side Of the river because Bam-
berg had failed to take steps to have
the work done on the Bamberg
county side Of the river.
Last week representative Kearse
visited Orangeburg and held confer
ence with the road authorities there.
AS a result of this conference Mr..
Kearse came home and conferred
with Representative Riley, Senator
Black and Supervisor Smoak, after
which a resolution was drafted by
Mr.. Kearse and signed by the BAN
berg authorities pledging the authori-
ties of this county to cooperate with
the Orangeburg authorities in the
immediate construction of the road
way through the swamp and bridge
across the river.
Mr.. Kearse stated that the prospect
is that the contract will be awarded
at once by both Orangeburg and Bam-
berg counties for this much needed
link of roadway, including the
bridge.
The plans of the highway commits
sion call for the construction Of the
causeway through the swamp and the
bridge over the river some distance
below the present roadway, in order
that the road may be Strengthened
out. The new route is a much short
er distance through the swamp and
can be built at much less cost, and at
the same time the road will be
straight. The highway commission
does NOT look with favor upon unnec-
essary curves in the state highways.
Orangeburg is doing a tremendous
amount of road construction. A big
bond issue has been made in that
county, and it is stated that several
hundred thousand dollars have been

during the exciting chase Saturday
which eliminated in his capture, and
admitted, according to the officer,
that he did his best to kill the sheriff.
Thompson said that the wound he re-
ceived in his leg was from the sher-
ifs pistol.
Asked why he had singled him out
as the man to be killed, Thompson is
quoted as saying: ''Well, I killed one
officer, and I knew l would get The

which several negroes who were IN
the house at the time the trouble oc-
Cured testified against him. Mrs.

man, also took the stand. The court

gressed during the afternoon and
evening.

The railway superintendent is ad-
vised to make such necessary ar
rangements with regard to a porter
to bring the pouches to the postoftice

up to yesterday Mr.. Knight had not

office, which is now being carried in
train 25, is being dispatched to train
IS and received at 9:O2 a. M, and
thereby delayed two hours and 35
minutes. We intended establishing
pouch from Charleston to Bam-

will thank you to advise as to when
this may be put into effect, as it will
no doubt be necessary for you to
make some arrangements for port

POLICEMAN FINDS
J.P. MILLER DEAD
SUPERINTENDENT OF LAKE CITY
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.
Tom Poston Arrested.
Automobiles Collide and Shooting
Results-Poston Confesses,
1T Is Said.

Kingstree, May 81. P. Miller,
aged forty, an electrician and su-
perintendent of the Lake City elec-
trio light plant, was shot to death
about one mile south of Cades late
last night by Tom Poston, of near
Cades, according to verdict of coro-
ners jury, and the alleged confes-
sion of Poston. Mr.. Miller was on his
way to Kingstree tc spend Sunday
with his family as had been his GUS
tom for a number of years.
According to the testimony at the
inquest, Mr. Miller was on his way to
Kingstree when his car and the one
occupied by Poston and woman,
said to be named Miss Coker, collid-
ed. Poston, when asked why he shot
Mr.. Miller, is reported to have said,
that he (Mr. Miller) ran into him,
got "hard'' and that he (Poston)
Just shot hell out Of him. The wo-
man is the only eyewitness to the
tragedy.
Poston's gun, a Colts 45-calibre
army model, was empty when exam
ined this morning. Poston admits
that he fired three shots, one bullet
entering Mr.. Miller's head, the bullet
coursing downward and coming out
Just over the left ear. 1t did not
touch the brain. 1t was the only
shot that took effect.
Poston was brought to Kingstree
but was later taken to the state peni-
tentiary at Columbia.
The Millers have been living in
Kingstree for several years. Some
time ago Mr.. Miller accepted the po-
siticn of superintendent of the Lake
City electric light plant. 1t was his
home and he was IN his way here
when he was killed.
Both Cars Damaged.
Both cars we're damaged in the COL
lision and were by the side of the
road when seen this morning.
Mr.. Miller's body was discovered
about midnight by Rural Policeman
Brockington who brought the news
here about o'clock this morning.
Sheriff Gamble was notified at once
and Immediately left for the scene of
the tragedy.
One of the cars was soon identified
as that of Poston's and he was found
at his home a short distance from
where the shooting occurred. 1t is
said that Poston at once admitted
that he shot Miller. When seen this
morning Miller's car was very near
the edge of the ditch, about wenty
feet being on the side for other cars

6:27 a. m. Train to Deliuer First
Class Mail to Banberg Hereafter

For several years past POSTMASTER
Knight, of the Bamberg postofhce'
has been endeavoring to have mall
service established on train No. 20,
Branchville to Augusta, arriving Al
Bamberg at 6:27 a. M, but for one
reason or another the service mas
never been secured. However, &C.
cording to a letter from the chief
clerk of the railway mail service,
Chas. E. Shore, under date of May .,
addressed to C. P. King, superintend-
ent of the Southern railway, Charles
ton, a copy if which is furnished to
Mr.. knight, this service is to be in
augurated in the near future.
At the present time only second
class mail is handled on this train
for Bamberg, consisting only of the
daily newspapers, which are thrown
off at Bamberg at the publish
ers' risk. No first-class mail or par
eel post is handled. The first regu-
lar mail to be received in Bamberg
arrives at 9:02 a. m.
The inauguration of the new mail
service will mean that the bulk OF
the morning mail for this postoffice
will arrive here at 6:27 a. m. The
Bamberg business men will hereafter
be able to get their morning mail
when they come to work every morn
ing. AS a usual thing few people
get down to work until they get their
morning mail, and the mail not be-
ing distributed until $50 every
morning has been source Of consid-

that now was a good time to fatten his
batting average, so he damned nice
single over second, bringing in Am
brose. The best Jim Sanders could
do was to pop out, closing the rally
which had resulted in three runs,
enough to insure victory. In this inn
ing the boys hit when hits meant
runs, and snatched victory from ap-
parent defeat.
The Porter team played with con-
fdence which seemed to insure them
the victory, but they all took slight
ascension in the eighth, when Car
Isle began to get next to their pitcher.
Saunders has mixture of curves
hard to solve, and possesses a battling g
change of pace. His slow ball made
some heavy hitters look foolish, and
Otto Large hit the only safety off his
slow ball in the eighth. The efforts
of the others usually resulted in weak
pop ups.
Cherry led off in the ninth with a
single to right. Mcdowell walked.
Harper hit to the pitcher, and Cherry
was thrown out at third. Whitley hit
a high fly to Hard Luck. Ford pop
ped out to short. thereby closing the
inning and easing the anxiety of the
spectators.
The first scoring was done by Car
Isle in the third when Fairey hit to
right for three bags and came home
On the wild throw by third.
Porter made it's first tally in the
fourth. Gonzales hit safely to center.
Bell popped out to short. Epperson
hit to pitcher and was out at first,
Gonzales going to second. Saunders
hit to Large, who let the ball go
through him, Gonzales scoring. Saun-
ders was thrown out going to second.
In the fifth Porter scored its second
and last run. Cherry hit to second
and was out at first. Mcdowell hit to
Sweeny and was out at first. Harper
hit to short and was safe on an error
of shortstop. Harper stole second.
Whitley hit to short, and on Sand
ers's error Harper scored and Whitley
went to second. Ford hit to short
and was safe on Jim Sanders's error,
he falling down in grabbing the ball.
Gonzales famed.
