GETS FIVE YEARS
IN PENITENTIARY
FORGER TRIED AND FOUND
GUILTY AT GEORGETOWN.
LAST WEEK.

In the sessions court at George
town week before last, B. Moss Jones,
Alias H. L. Spangler, indicted for for
gerry, took up the most of two days.
This was one of the most interesting
cases tried in Georgetown since the
trial of DR.. Bigham here about IL
years ago for the killing Of his wife
at Murrells Inlet, says the George
town Times-Index, although this was
not a murder case.
Jones was arrested in Georgetown
in November last, charged with forg-
ing drafts and defrahding every bank
in the city, he having received several
hundred dollars as a result of his
work. The testimony brought out
showed that he had been carrying on
wildcat schemes in North Carolina,
Virginia and Maryland, selling bogus
stock and working Ne draft game, as
result he had defrauded the people
out of over 100000, h. L. Spang-
Ter of Norfolk, Va, was here to estab-
lish his identity. Council for the de-
tense made a plea of insanity and ex-
pert testimony was given by DR.. j.
W. Babcock, of Columbia, DR.. R. s.
Foster, of Norfolk and DR.. H. NJ.
Smith,. Of Columbia. H. L. Jones of
Norfolk, brother of the accused, and
D. B. Denny, of Norfolk also testified
in his behalf, but the expert testimony
was asaoutweighed by the testimony for
the state as to his unusual shrewd-
ness and ability to distinguish right
froms wrong:
, His attorneys, Mr.. Walter Hazard,
of this city and Mr.. Humphries, Of
Norfolk, Va, made a good fight for
their Fclient as well as did Solicitor
Gasque for the state. The jury re-
turned verdict Of guilty. A motion
for new trial was made but overuled
by Judge Memminger, who. sentenced
the prisoner to the state penitentiary
fer five years.
This same young man tried to work
his game in Kingstree but was un-
successful in pulling the wool over the
eyes of the local bankers. We are in
formed, however, that he succeeded
in hooking" Mr.. Plowden, proprietor
of the Baggett Hotel at Lanes, for
something like $4,000. Jones was
stopping at the Baggett Hotel and Sc
cured Mr.. Plowden's endorsement on
one of the bogus drafts which was
paid by the Bank of Lane. 1t is said
he claimed here to be representing

Bamberg about three weeks ago and
whom he lured to Lemon Swamp

a clean confession to the murder and
told in detail how he committed the
crime. He was being held for trial
for this crime when he escaped.
Walton was being held for alleged
car breaking at Denmark about two
weeks ago.
The prisoners escaped by breaking
two locks on a cell door which led
into the "crazy" cell, where one Of the

then tied blankets together and swung
down to the ground. Mr.. Dickinso.7

BIGHAM HAS A CLOSE SHAVE
Penitentiary Officials Had No Notice
OF Stay Of Execution.

Somewhat of stir was created IN
the Bigham case in Columbia last
Thursday afternocm when Attorney A
L. King, of Florence, went to the penl'
tentiary to see his client and was
told by authorities there that unless
they received some official order mott
lying them not to electrocute Bighan
the next day that they would proceed
with the execution, according to Mr.
King.
The penitentiary officials up until
that time had received no order noti-
flying them of the appeal to the su'
preme court which automatically stay
ed the death sentence set for Friday
April 8, and they announced that un'
less some order was received the elec'
trocution would come off as scheduled
However, Mr.. King served notice OF
appeal on the penitentiary and the
death penalty was not inflicted.
Mr.. King has played safe all along
and served notice of appeal on the
solicitor, The sheriff of Florence coun'
ty, the court of Florence, the govern
or, the attorney general and the peni'
tentiary.
Mr.. King talked freely of the Big,
ham case while in Columbia and saio
that he is absolutely convinced that
E. D. Bigham is innocent of the crime
81 can only ask that the public with
hold judgement on this case until al!
the facts have been brought out and
until the case has been settled" Mr.
King said. He believes he will get a
new trial before the supreme court
hasing this belief on several important
points of common and statute law
The refusal of Judge Memminger to
grant a change of venue when ac-
cording to Mr.. King, evidence to war
rant the Judge in granting a change
v as produced and the continuing OF
the court beyond the regular session
by the judge, which according to law
are two points in the appeal.
Mr.. King may take another step IN
the trial which he thought may give
immediate relief to his client, but
would not announce what this step
would be.

hospital cemetery and when the re-
mains were lowered into the earth
Tuesday morning the curtain was r,ing
down on pne of the most sensational
cases ever before the public in South
Carolina.
Vaughn's remains were laid to rest
in a simple coffin and in simple
way. His father instructed the State
hospital authorities to inter the re-
mains in the cemetery of the insti-
tuition.
Sheriff T. Alex Heise arrived with
the body of the former superintend-
ent of the Odd Fellows orphanage at
5.55 o'clock Monday morning, having
left Tampa, Fla, at LOO o'clock Sum
day afternoon. A short time after
the arrival of the remains, DIR. c.
Fred Williams and other hospital Of
ficials viewed the body and positive
ly identified the dead man as Thurs
ton U. Vaughn. The Identification
was immediate and certain. "Thats
Vaughn" DR.. Williams and others
said when the coffin was opened.
Capt. J. K. P. Neatherry, past
grand master of the Odd Fellows;
A. B. Langley, past grand master;
DR.. s. F. Killingsworth, grand sec
retary; DR.. Williams, DR.. Boone, c. L.
Blease, former governor; DR.. r. T.
Jennings, penitentiary physician, and
numerous other persons identified the
body as that of Vaughn and a eertif-
icate that the body was Vaughn's
was made out by DR.. Killingsworth'
Mr.. Langley and Captain Neatherry.
Many Wish To See Body.
All during the day hundreds OF
people attempted to see the body
which was at McCormick's undertak-
ing establishment, but only those Sc
curing permission from DR.. Williams
and Sheriff Heise were permitted to
view the remains. Many curiosity
seekers were turned away.
Pictures of the man were taken
during the day as a safeguard IN
case any question arises in the fu-
ture as to his identity.
Sheriff Heise talks interestingly OF
his trip and his talk with Vaughn's
wife, formerly Miss Sandal Beam
guard of Clover, whom he saw Sun
day morning. She told Mr.. Heise that
Vaughn escaped from the state hos
pital by means of key, but did not
explain exactly how the patient OBJ
tanned the key. After escaping on
Monday night Vaughn walked through
the streets of Columbia and to the
Seaboard Air Line station she said
where he purchased a ticket for Tam
pa and boarded the midnight train
for Florida.
Mrs. Vaughn remained in Tampa
and as far as is known at the pres
ent time there will be no effort to
have her return to South Carolina
in connection with the case.
Sheriff Heise brought back with
him the razor with which Vaughn
ended his life and also the pocket
knife with which he had attempted
to commit suicide last Monday when
first arrested at his home in Port
TAMPA. Pasted on the razor are the
following words: kangaroo court

WORKS AUTOMATICALLY

Now that the weather Is becoming
colder everybody is looking around for
some kind of device to keep their cars
warm, or at least give them some relief
from severe weather.
One of the best articles that has been
brought out on the market since the
automobile has come into It's own Is the
automatic shutter manufactured by the
Pines Manufacturing Company known
as the Winterfront. This device is a
motor regulator that fits on the front of
the radiator and is a shutter type. IL
