NEW ANGLE IN KIRBY CASE
Up to Him to Say Whether He Will
Die Friday.

The newest angle in the case of S.
J. Kirby, one of the three convicted
iE Lexington county for the murder
of William Brazell, and sentenced to
die in the electric ckair on Friday,
October 21st., is that it rests with
Kirby as to whether he will die or
not.
The situation brought about is this:
Following the death sentence imposed
on Gappins, Kirby and Fox, the at
torney for Gappins issued an appeal
to the supreme court. Then the at
torney for Kirby gave notice of an
appeal on the grounds that Kirby was
insane. 1t was later proved, to the
satisfaction of his attorney, that Kir-
by was sane and the lawyer gave no
t,ce that he would not complete the
appeal. The legal technicality then
arose as to whether Kirby could be
legally electrocuted or whether the no
tice of appeal would be binding.
It is now announced that the mat
ter. will be put up to Kirby and if
he insists on carrying out the appeal
he will not die next Friday. Incl
dentally it is stated that recently Kr.
by said he wished it was "all over
with, which indicated that ne wished
to pay the death penalty rather than
suffer in agony which he is alleged
to have undergone since the murder
and the trial,
An effort has also been made to
have the Governor stay Fsx's sentence
until the other two cases are settled
hut this is unlikely and it seems prob
able that Fox will at least go to the
chair tomorrow. Gappins will not be
electrocuted &C this time.
Kirby has decided that he does not
want to be electrocuted tomorrow, and
claims that he will carry out appeal
proceedings:

heard to express interest in the plans
of the fair and promise to support
the movement another year.
Do not look to the government for
relief of every problem that comes
up, but get together i'll cooperative
way and work out your problems, said
Secretary Wallace, who declared CO.
operation was one of the bigneeds of
the agricultural interest of the South.
The speaker congratulated Andrews
on having big business men who are
giving their time and money to bring
about a better environment on the
farms of South Carolina.
Until the farm women enjoy the
same comforts and labor saving de-
vices as those ut the hands of the city
women, we can not hope to have a
happy, contented home life on the
farm, declared Mr.. Wallace, in speak
ing of the drift from the farm.
"When the farm home is made as at
tractive as that of the city there will
be no drift in the cities" said the
secretary. Mr.. Lever, in presenting
the silver pitcher to the winner plead
ed for the women on the farms OF
South Carolina. He declared every
farmer should make every effort to
install running water in their homes,
declaring this to be the largest single
factor in the life of farm woman.

miles of county roads in this state

of them were located for the conven-
ience of the horse lot and two for the

on visit and taking the safe there
from. He gave details as to the
operations of the pair since the rob-
berry YVES made public, stating that
there was about $85,000 worth of Sc
curities and cash in the safe. He stat
ed that there was $4,000 in liberty
bonds, about $4,000 in war savings
stamps and that the safe also contain
ed bonds, mortgages and bank stocks,
all of which can be readily identified;
$4,000 in cash was on deposit in a
Florence bank.
The story of the arrest of these men
reads like an up-to-datc detective
story. Shortly after the robbery, a
box was rented at the Sumter post
office in the name of Jacob S. Schro-
der, who it will be recalled was robbed
and murdered in Charleston some time
during the summer. Later it devel-
oped that certain liberty bonds had
been shipped from Sumter to Atlanta
for sale on the Atlanta market. The
size of the bonds aroused suspicion
and the Atlanta dealers were notified
to keep dilligent look out. About
$4,000 in liberty bonds were for
warded for sale, among which were
two registered Victory Bonds il. the
sum of $4,000 each. Upon inquiry
from the Treasury Department as to
the owner of these bonds it was as
certained that they were registered
in the name of Sam Young, of Lake
City. With this clue to work on, de-
tectives were sent to Sumter to identi-
fly the alleged renter of the box. The
local man employed on the case
readily recognized one of the men as
A. P. Truluck and he and his brother,
]. H. Truluck have been together fire.
ouently of late in Sumter. A trap
was then set for them, the local post
master having been notified of and
giving assistance to the plan. The
socalled Jacob S. Schroeder was noti-
fed by the Atlanta people that the
bonds had been disposed of as desired
and that check for same would be
mailed by registered letter on Octo-
ber 18th. and that this letter should
reach him by the morning of the 18th.
All Thursday morning two detectives
were placed near the postoffice and
one on the outside. About II o'clock
A. P. Truluck was seen to go to the
rented box and take therefrom notice
of a registered letter. He proceeded
to the registry window to get the
letter whereupon signal was given
and arrest made. His brother, NJ. A.
Truluck, who had accompanied him to
town, was waiting on the outside of
the postoffce and he too was taken
into custody. Both were lodged in
iai and no one was permitted to see
them during the entire day. They
were placed in widely separated cells
under special guard. When Mr..
Whitefeld arrived Friday morning
and presented them with the stolen
bonds, A. P. Truluck broke down and
told the whole story. Implication OF
his brother. J. H. Truluck, led imme-
dlately to the dispatch of two officers
to Olanta armed with authority to
arrest. 1t is understood that ]. H.
Truluck has been shadowed for sew
eral days as it was believed he was
implicated in the affair. From the
confession made by A. P. Truluck it
appears that J. H. Truluck engineered
the entire scheme in so far as the
attempted sale of the bonds wei te
concerned, he even furnishing the
nonoe of Schroeder
