@AYDON TELLS
OF EFFORDS' CASE

4 - NioSeoht SoiuHlDl8 aCJOT
ney, called upon Governor Harve,
yesterday and recited the facts h,
knew in the Jeffords case as outlined
in an interview with Mr.. Graydor
yesterday morning.
Mr.. Graydon called upon his owr
volition, It was announced at the ex.
tcutive offices. Governor Harvey took
the statement of Mr.. Graydon under
advisement, making no announcement
as to the possible effect it would have
on his action, if any.
The governor will hardly interfere
with the death sentence, he indicated
yesterday, and Jeffords will in all
probability be electrocuted Friday be-
tween 10 O'Clock in the morning and
2 o'clock In the afternoon.
Jeffords spent an uneventful day in
his death cell, except for a number of
visitors. Many people called to see
him, but those believed to be actuated
by curiosity were denied admittance
to the death house, where Jeffords is
kept. However, a number of close
friends and relatives were allowed to
see the condemned man.
Yesterday was the tenth day from
the rising Of the last criminal court
Of Richland county and no notice of
any appeals whatever were filed for
Joffords. This avenue was closed for
ali time with the end of the day.
Ira Harrison was still in his alleged
state Of coma at the penitentiary hos
pital. He does not talk, SO far as the
authorities can ascertain, but eats
regularly when fed by attendants.
In connection with the visit Of Mr..
Craydon to the governor, the follow
ing statement was made public yes
terday at the executive offices:
&c. T. Graydon called of his own
volition on the governor, actaaatad, he
stated, in 20 doing by the newspaper
publicities Of this morning. He pre-
sented papers showing that he was
legal adviser of Jefsords and had for
some ten days prior to the murder
discussed with him legal matters con-
cerning the firms transactions; that
he had also discussed with him mat
tiers concernfn8 the dissolution by
reason of disc1rd and dissension ex.
iisting betwes6 tie parties; that OF
the sfternooR The raprder JsfSofdl
.hsz s isoe eaff.
ir the night Of the murder, as STATED
by Jeffords) concerning primarily tn,
matter Of judgments being servet
against the firm; that as he (Gray.
dom was to leave on the $40 train
for Richmond it was agreed between
Jeffords and himself that Jeffords
would call back on his return from
Richmond for him to give the matte,
the necessary attention.
"The point Of Mr.. Graydon's state.
ments was that Jeffords' agreement in
calling later to attend to the firms
business might be taken by the gov
crnor as an indication that there was
no conspiracy Of the murder up to
that time. The governor heard Mr.
Graydon's statements actuating his
visit and stated that he would give
the matter his consideration along
with other matters connected with
the unfortunate affair."-The State.

The correspondent asked Senator
Overman if Tolbert had confessed
that he was once convicted on a
charge Of misusing government prop

Ninety-Six and fined $50. "Of course
he confessed" said Overman, "for
that was matter of official record.
But he declared that there was no JUS

he attempted to brush aside this little
matter with wave of his hand"
