HATCHETTE GETS
TWO YEARS OR fine
ATTORNEYS PLAN TO TAKE
CASE TO SUPREME
COURT.

Tom Hatchette, chain gang captain,
who was convicted Of assault and bat
terry of high aggravated nature in
Sessions Court at Spartanburg Satur-
day, was sentenced by Judge Wilson,
Monday, to serve two years or pay
a fine of $1,000.
Hatchette was tried for murder in
connection with the death of Thomas
M. Keelan, a young white man from
New Jersey, who was sentenced to,
the chain gang for thirty days for
hoboing. He was whipped one morn
ing and that afternoon he died. There
was testimony Of cruel and inhumane
treatment while the young man COM
planned of being i'll. The day was a
hot one, as hot as was experienced
during the summer. An autopsy was
held and the physicians decided that
death was caused by a heat stroke.
At the time there was considerable
feeling on the part OF the citizens
Of the Glenn Springs section Of the
county, where the gang was camped
Judge John S. Wilson charged the
Jury that, while the Constitution Of
South Carolina forbids corporal pun
ishment by chain gang guards, it is
common in the state and that never.
theless it is illegal to whip prisoner.
Attorneys for the defendant will fight
the case in the Supreme Court they
announced. The claim is made that
the court cannot infict corporal pun
ishment, but that chain gang guard
can. Judge Wilson says he cannot
see that an individual would have
rights to inflict punishment which is
denied the court.
The case has been the matter of
communications between officials Of
New Jersey and Governor Robert A.
Cooper.

OMNIBUS ROAD BIlI WILL ADD
 HUGE EXPENSE

The following letter from a mem Der of the state senate. received in Bisbee yesterday brings to light many interesting facts concerning the S975.OOO included in the omnibus road bill:
 Il have been watching the state papers for the purpose of determin- ing whether there was realization of the immense amount Of money in vOlved in the appropriations asked for road work in this state. and it seems to me that nearly every news paper is overlooking the fact that the S975.OO0 carried in the sO-called om- nibus bill is an emergency appropria- tiOn to cover deficiencies in funds to carry work on until June 30th of this year No one as yet seems to realize that this is essentially an addition tO 192021 state expenses. but there seems to be an impression in the minds of the majority of the people that this money is to be used in road work for the next two years
 Let us examine the situation from the standpoint of total involved:
 First. S975.0O0 omnibus bill; sec ond. S200.OO0 emergency appropria ton to reimburse the state road de partment for freight. lot. office build ing started. warehouse and storage yards making a total of s1I75.O .O0C sought to be added to the l920-21 tax bill, all of this amount to be available immediately and for the period end ing June 30. this year
 If these sums should be appropri ated, the next move would probably be a bill based on same distribution as the omnibus bill. and providing foI an amount which I would not be com potent to guess. for road work during the next two years.
 Tn addition to the above appropri ations asked for there has been intro duced in the. senate the following Miami-Superior highway. s250.O00 Yuma county highway. s200. .000; Mo have county bridge bill. s15o. 900: Ma vajo county. S75 900. besides others in prospect
 The appropriation committee oi the senate is attempting to get all oi these matters before it for consider ation before deciding on how much money can he spent for roads and where it should be applied"
