LITTLE LIQUOR
TO BE RETURNED

Washington, March 27.-Lttle IL
ouor will have to be returned 70
owners as a result of recent ruling
of the United States circuit court IN
South Carolina that the Volstead
act supersedes the internal revenue
laws in so far as they apply. to In
toxicating liquors. Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer said today. The as
sertion was made in commenting
mon the action in New York yester-
day of federal officials in hating a
raid on the ground that the ruling
made seizures under the revenue
laws illegal.
The great bulk of the liquor selz-
ed by the government, Commission
er Kramer declared, was taken un-
der the Volstead act while being
transported illegally, and this liquor
would be unaffected by the new IN
terpretation of the law. He added
that he did not know how much
liquor may have been seized IN Varl-
Gus parts of the country under ene
revenue laws, but expressed the be-
lief that it was not a considerable
quantity in comparison with the TO-
tai amount seized since prohibition
became a law. ..
Returns of some liquor probably
would be necessary where it had
been seized under the revenue laws
Mr.. Kramer asserted, adding that
while some of it may have been de-
stroyed, large quantities are still
awaiting determination OF their
status by the courts.
Mr.. Kramer said he believed the
South Carolina ruling would not
greatly interfere with prohibition
enforcement. At present, he said
very little real liquor is being taker
by federal agents in raids. Most OF
the illegal liquors, he explained
were imitation connections trans
ported by bootleggers for sale as ole
established brands of liquor.

FAIRFIELD MAN
FOUND IN CREEK
Body Weighted Down With Anvil
Former Service Man.

Winnsboro, March 29.-The part
ly decomposed body of a white man
was found late Saturday afternoon
in a creek near Browns bridge In
Fairfield county. Several young
boys were fishing in the creek on
Saturday afternoon when they saw
what they thought was the body OF a
white man dressed in soldier clothes.
The man had ben shot through the
heart, the bullet having passed clean
through the body. There was also a
bullet hole in the back of his neck.
His hands were wired together and
an anvil attached to his neck.
Coroner John Gibson of Wipnsboro
was notified and yesterday the in.
quest was held. The initials, F. NJ.
K. were found on his underwear. A
small purse containing 65 cents and
a key were found in his pockets.
The initials presented the first clue
to the mans identity as Frank M,
Krutzer who lived in the neighbor
hood and disappeared on Christmas
eve nd had not been seen or heard
. of since. Mrs. Krutzer was summon
ed by the coroner and identified the
man as her husband from tattoo
marke on both arms.
Mr.. Krutzer worked for the
Winnsboro mills before his disap-
pearance, and some one suggested
that the key probably belonged to
his tool chest. The key was brought
to Winnsboro and fitted the lock of
Frank Krutzer's tool chest at the
Winnsboro mills.
Krutzer was a native of Germany
but had been living in the state for
about ten years. He was married to
Miss Maggie Smith, who with "a
small son survive him. He served in
the United States army during the
world war as sergeant and was at
one time stationed in the United
States reserves and received soldier
clothes.
All the evidence seems to point
that Krutzer was murdered; but no
one is suspected, as he had no known
enemies.
The following jury was empanel-
ed, E. J. Friday, foreman; j. M.
Jones, E. A. Harmon, E. n. Vann,
T. W. Mann, E. C. Clark. They ad-
journed indefinitely without re-
turning verdict.

MY Adeline" to Mr. J. Frank Boyer
OF Norristown, Pa. for $1,000. The
gentleman who purchased this horse
was the same one that Mr.. Gibson
sold the fast trotter Hal Boy to last
May. 1t is a singular coincidence that
during the past five months Mr..
Gibson has sold two horses to Mr..
Boyer for the aggregate price of s3,-
700, and both of these horses were
formerly plow horses on farms in
Dillon county. The trotter Hal Boy
was secured by Mr.. Gibson from Hes
ekiah McRae, colored man near
Little Rock. who plowed him for
nearly two years on the farm. The
pacing mare My Adeline" was Sc
cured by Mr.. Gibson from Tracy Tur-
beville who works on the Dillon coun-
ty poor farm. and this little mare
plowed all of last winter and spring
and never saw race track until May
OF this year when Mr.. Gibson effected
her purchase and started her train
ing. The horse Hal Boy has proved to
be winner and his owner thinks
well of him. He has Won eight out OF
his last eleven starts in the north.
