COURT PROCEEDINGS
FRANK STEEDLY ACQUITTED.
Was Charged With the Murder of
James Driggers Last March.

Frank Steedly, charged with the
murder of James Driggers last March
at the home of his mother on the
Charleston and Augusta road near
Midway, was acquitted Tuesday
morning in the court of general ses-
sions.
The case claimed very little of the
courts time. There were no wit
nesses to the affair except members
of the Steedly household. The first
witness was DR.. Robert Black, who
described the wounds on Driggers.
DR.. Black was called to attend Orig
gers by Capers Steedly, at the request
of Frank Steedly, according to the
testimony, and reached the wounded
man before he died. The body was
lying just outside the yard fence of
the Steedly home, where Frank Steed-
ly and his mother resided. DR.. Black
also described bruises on the body
of Mrs. Steedly, seen some days af-
ter the killing, which other witnesses
said were caused by Driggers.
Members of the Steedly family,
including the defendant, testified
that Driggers came to the Steedly
home in an intoxicated condition and
attacked Frank Steedly's mother;
that he used a large stick in his at
tack, and that Frank Steedly fired
load of buckshot into Driggers in
defence of his home, his mother and
himself.
John Williams and James Will
liams, charged with the murder of
one Brown a year ago, pleaded gull
ty Tuesday afternoon to manslaugh-
ter and received sentences as fol-
lows: John Williams, four years,
and James Williams two years, at
hard labor on the public works.
Cape Dratiford pleaded guilty to
gravated nature, and was sentenced
assault and battery of a high and az
to serve four years on the public
works.

DEPRECATES CRIME WAVE.
Judge Shipp Appeals to Grand Jury
to Act With Firmness.

When Solicitor Gunter handed out
a number of cases to the grand Jury
Monday morning, Judge Shipp di-
rected some timely remarks to that
august body. 1t was great pleas
ure, said the Judge, to again visit
Bamberg. He complimented the
jurymen on their presence, especially
on legal holiday, and hot one. 1t
shows, said Judge Shipp, that they
have the welfare of their county at
heart, and. shows their appreciat ton
of, the Importance of their positions.
The judge deprecated the large
number of murder cases on the dock
ct, and said that 1t was rather un-
usual for Bamberg county to make
such a showing, although, he said,
it was not peculiar to this county, as
it is a condition that is prevalent all
over the state and country. There is
a widespread crime wave, and the
judge said that he could not explain
it's general prevalence. 1T may be, y
said the judge, "the result of the
world war and the wave Of prosperi-
ty during the past few years, follow
ed closely by the hard times now ex-
isting." The great body of the people,
though, the Judge continued, is law
abiding. He told the grand jury that
the people have it in their power
to enforce the law-not in an op-
pressive way, but with firmness.
He reminded the grand jury that
their oath allowed them to know no
man in the discharge of their duties;
that they can show no favoritism.
There is a serious business confront
ing the law-abiding people of the
county and he appealed to the jury
men to what they can toward remedy
irg the present general disrespec5 o.
the law.
After going into the law on the
various crimes mentioned in the bills
of the solicitor, Judge Shipp handed
out the papers with Instructions to
act on the matters in hand.

THREE LOSE LIVES
NEAR GREENWOOD
FORMER SERVICE MAN KILLED
BY POLICEMEN.
Fired on Officers.
Woman and Child Also Die at Hands
of Jealous Country
Merchant Hurt.

Greenwood, Aug. 31.-As a result
of series of homicides in this coun-
ty last night, Willie C. Herring, a
Thirtieth division veteran, is dead,
shot to death by Policeman T. E.
Dukes at Ninety-Six after Herring
had shot six times at officers; and
two negroes, woman and a two
year old child, are dead, having been
shot to death by Nathan Wardlaw,
a negro, at Hodges last night in a fit
of jealousy. Sheriff E. NJ. White and
his deputies are looking for Fred
Chiles, charged with a third shoot
ing affair in which w. C. Hill, keeper
of country store on the Green
wood-Saluda line, was slightly
wounded in the face this morning
with shot from a shot gun.
Willie G. Herring, the former SER
vice man, who was shot, had stopped
in the business section of Ninety-Six
late yesterday afternoon, according
to the officers, and was cursing and
creating disturbance in the streets.
Officers T. E. Dukes and J. C. Rush
started toward the scene and Her.
ring begun firing at them as they ap-
preached. He is said to have shot
four, times at Officer Rush, the officer
returning his fire, aiming at his feet
in the hope of forcing him to sur
render without killing him, the officer
declared.
Officer Dukes covered Herring with
his gun and ordered him to surrend-
er after being shot at once. Herring
is alleged to have thrown up his
hands, exclaiming, 81 wont hurt you,
Mr.. Dukes The officer dropped his
gun to his side, and as he did so,
Herring is'said to have lowered his
own gun, firing directly at the off,
GERS head. Officer Dukes lodged and
returned the fire, the bullet taking
effect in Herring's abdomen. The
wounded man was brought to the
Greenwood hospital last nignt, but
died shortly after midnight. He had
been treated for the effects of gas
received on the French front. His
twin brother, Jimmie Herring, was
killed in France and he was severely
gassed and shelled shocked.
The police officers came to Green
wood and surrendered to the sheriff
this morning.
Andrella Belcher and her two year
old niece, Tommie Romans,\ negroes,
were shot to death about 10 o'clock
last night near Hodges in this
county by Nathan Wardlaw, accord
ing to Warlaws own confession. He
was arrested this morning and
lodged in Jail. Rebecca Belcler, the
dead woman's mother, and her sister,
Maggie Romans, were also shot by
the negro, but not seriously hurt.
Wardlaw claims he found Tom Harris
at the home of the Belcher woman
and began shooting. He fired once
through the wall and once through
each of two windows. The two-year-
old child was killed instantly. The
woman bled to death.

{For the Alexandria Gazette

On OR return to the battle line to
pick Up the wounded the first comrade
we found was propped up behind a
tree morping the blood from his knee,
which had been torn open by an ex-
plosive bullet, and by his side lay a
bow who had been killed while he was
irving to dress his comrades wound
In his hand was still clutched the
bandage he had meant toy use. We
started back with the wounded boy,
stopping of necessity many times to
seek protection in she'll holes as the
machine gun bullets buzZed around.
A crop of stretcher bearers passed
by US and failing to observe the Sig
nal civen not to use the main road at
that time-this place was being she'll
ed bv the enemy-Went straight on
to their doom. As we came out on
the road later, there lay the bodies of
the forr stretcher bearers and of the
wounded man they had borne-just a
further addition to the path of dead
bodies.
Orr Journey led US thro' the woods
cut into the valley OF the Eprimont.
where stretcher bearers could be seen
coming out Of the woods from all d.
,ect:ons with their CHASTITY burdens.
and falling into the long line headed
or the frst-aid stations. These were
located in the woods and well camou-
laget. from the view of the enemy
aviators. Here the stretcher bearers
left their wounded and then passing
thro' another door, fell into line to
90 back for another burden. As we
passed out we could see scores Of boys
digging graves and burying their SOL
dier comrades who had died on the
way 70 the aid station.
Our mess cook was due to arrive
there between 4 and G every after
moor. and the stretcher bearers would
remain for the "slum gullion stew,
so va would stand on the hill, hidden
from view, and watch for Rainbow"
faithful mule Of ours-to make his
appearance in the valley below. We
could tell him long way off for never
had y mule ears quite SO long on 1eet
quite so big as our Rainbow. But this
particular afternoon mules came and
vert but no Rainbow. Darkness
came and he had not arrived. At day
break we made our way back to the
lines to 90 over the top and we car
ried 10 Rainbow's friends the news
that ne had been dumped" off while
on his way to The front with cur
