MAN ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
Roanoke Man Who Killed Invader of
Home is Freed.

Roanoke, Va, Aug. 29.-J. NJ
Walden who was charged with murd-
er in connection with the Staying OF
J.H. Rutledge in the Walden home at
an. early hour Sunday morning was
acquitted this morning following a
hearing before Judge Beverly Berke-
lev in police court. A. n. Fisher, who
was charged with maliciously shoot
ing J. H. Whitlock, was also acqult-
ted by the court. Mrs. J. NJ. Walden,
Mrs. A. N. Fisher and Whitlock were
each fined $500 on statutory charges
The stories unfolded by Walden
and Fisher to the court revealed one ci
the most sensational dual domestic
TRAGEDIES in the annals of the local
police department. The two men said
they had employed private detectives
to watch the Walden home during
their absence and based their actions
on the detectives reports. On Satur-
day night Walden and Fisher told
their wives that they were leaving the
city and would not return until Mon
day.
According to their statement they
left a train at Salem and came back
to Roanoake by street car and pro-
ceeded at once to the Walden home
where the shooting took place.
Rutledge was shot and instantly
killed by Walden in bedroom on
the upper floor and Whitlock was
wounded in the foot By gun in the
hands of Fisher. Fisher was told by
the court that it was regrettable he
had not shot Whitlock through the
head instead of the foot.
The two women, both neatly dress
ed, stood in silence while they listen
ed to the witnesses testify. Asked
if they DAD any statement to make,
they shook their heads negatively.
Whitlock, who is said to be mar
ried, had to be carried into the court
room. He had no statement to make.
Whitlock is "a. Mrs. Walden is 80,
and Mrs. Fisher is 29.
J. H. Rutledge, the dead man, was
"a years old and single.

The crime wave is not a distant,

The crime wave is not distant,
intangible thing. A glance at the
cases to come before the next term
of court, to be held here next week.
shows that Bamberg county is we'll
up towards the top in the matter OF
crime. There have been seven homl-
cides in this county since the last
sitting of court; there are three muir
der trials continued from the last
session, and one to come before the
court for new trial, on appeal to the
supreme court. This makes total
of eleven murder cases scheduled for
trial next week, but one of the pris-
oners included in this list has died
since the January term of court,
which removes this case out of the
Jurisdiction of all earthly courts.
When it is considered that Bamberg
county has the smallest area of any
county in the state, our record is
anything but enviable.

It seems at last to be dawning on
those who have most authority in fix
ing cotton<prices that the worlds sup
ply of cotton is not nearly so great as
they thought. In fact, it appears
that they have so over-estimated the
cotton in barns and sheds in the south
that there is likelihood of cotton
famine. Cotton advanced about
three cents a pound last week, but
from the appearance Of the crop here
abouts there is not one Bamberg
county farmer in a dozen who could
make much profit on his crop at even
one dollar a pound. The cotton men
have been banking on a nine or ten
million bale carry-over, whereas now,
as this carry-over cotton is coming
on the market, it is found that the
staple is in such damaged condition
as to be almost worthless in many in
stances. However, the biggest factor
in the recent advances, according to a
writer, in the Atlanta Georgian, is the
perfection of the cooperative market
ing plan throughout the south. This
writer gives the cooperative market
ing system entire credit for the ad-
vance in price last week.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1921-09-01

Sober thinking people will have to
agree with much that Justice Goth
ran had to say in his opinion grant
ing new trial to Gossett. Judge
Cothran presented the matter in a
rather blunt manner, and the dignity
of the supreme court might have sug-
gesed a milder arraignment Of special
courts; nevertheless, the opinion is
couched in language Of which there
may be no mistaken Interpretation.
The opinion holds that prisoner may
not receive unbiased justice by trial
in a special court ordered within
a few days after crime is commit
ted; and further holds that the fact
that prisoner is unable to secure
local counsel is decidedly against him
at the outset. It is fact that when
conditions prevail that a special term
of court is ordered to prevent a pos
sible 1ynching, the very air is sur
charged with the supposed guilt of
the accused, and under such circum-
stances unbiased judgment could
hardly be hoped for. 1t is unfortu-
nate that special courts should ever
be necessary. Yet, there are two

"Certainly Senator Dial was wrong
in this instance, for evidence is con-
vincing that he did all that he could
to defeat me but did not succeed dur
ing the Wilson administration, he
failed because the president, the at
torney general, and one of the South
Carolina Senators were all for me.
I'm addition to the fact that I had
been friend Of Senator Tillman,
quite possibly another reason that
made him oppose me so strenuously
was, l guess, that Mr.. Cothran was
disappointed in not being selected
district Judge, and Senator Dial, feel
ing his deep obligation to Mr.. Goth
ran, desired to placate him by offer
ing to him the position I held. The
senators refrence to the federal
judgeship contest reminds me of his
camoudage tactics as given me by a
reliable gentleman of Greenville, S.
c., who was in Washington, D. c.,
just after the contest ended. In this
contest the friends of the different
candidates kept we'll acquainted with
the movements of each other, and the
Greenville gentleman gave me the
following facts secured by him from
reliable sources in Washington, to
wit:
Senator Dial appeared before a
representative of the department Of
justice and presented list contain
ing certain names, the first two of
whom were in the following order:
Glenn, Cothran, and then 9TH
ers, and stated to said representative
that they were all over sixty, W here
upon the representative of the de-
partment of justice remarked, their
age eliminates them, does it not?'
There was rule of the depart
ment of justice forbidding the ap-
partment of justice remarked, their
eral judgeship if over sixty years of
age, and Mr.. Cothran was little over
sixty. After this remark by the said
representative Senator Dial produced
another list of names in the follow
ing order: A. G. Todd, C. C. Feather
stone, H. H. Watkins and 9th
ers. Both lists were already prepared.
Senator Dial notified the representa-
tive. OF the department of justice
that neither the name of Frank B.
Gary nor of Thomas S. Sease need

THURMOND REPLIES TO DIAL.
Former Attorney General Says He
Had No Other Person in Mind.

J. William Thurmond has issued
the following statement:
"The reply to my communication
of recent date by Senator Dial neces-
states a rebuttal, to keep the record
straight. In his reply, Senator Dial
says: In 1912 and 1918 several of
US were candidates for the senate.
Mr.. Thurmond was manager of Sena-
tor Tillman's campaign both times
and organized the state against me-
Senator Dial must have nightmare
about these campaigns. While I was
an ardent friend and supporter Of
Senator Tillman neither had nor
Senator Tillman neither had orn
needed a campaign manager, when
Senator Dial was in the race against
him. The senator further says: Mr..
Thurmond is also in error as to what
transpired in Washington. sug-
gested the naming of my friend, T.
P. Cothran, for appointment as dis
trict attorney, he being one of the
strongest lawyers in the state, life
long friend of mine and a strong
supporter in all my campaigns. The
attorney general informed me he
would consider the matter and he
would discuss it further. I left word
at the white house to see the presi-
dent at the proper time. A few days
later Mr.. Thurmond's nomination
came to the senate. I communicated
with the white house and they we're
very much surprised and they asked
me to hold Mr.. Thurmond's appoint
ment up in the senate, and also sug-
gested that see the attorney general.
I declined the latter suggestion. Later
the attorney general phoned to me
to come up as he desired to confer
with me and said he was ready to
appoint Mr. Cothran.'
II will nail that statement with
the following letter:
FStroudsburg, Pa, Aug. 20, 1921.
Hon. J. VIM. Thurmond,
Attorney at Law,
'Edgefield, S. C.
"tDear Mr.. Thurmond: I have your
letter of the 18th instant. So far
as I was concerned while attorney
general no other action was ever con-
sidered than your own appointment
as district attorney, and I am quite
sure that I never said anything either
to Senator Dial or anybody else to
indicate any other intention. 1 did
my best to persuade Senator Dial to
withdraw his opposition to you. While
I have a high respect for Mr.. Goth
ran, I certainly never told Senator
Dial or anybody else that was ready
to appoint Mr.. Cothran.
