JUSTICE WINS
TARDY VICTORY
Carlos Corbitt Who Slew Three
Men.in Orangeburg County
Goes to Prison

orangeburg. Nov. 27.-Announce-
ment that Carlos Corbitt, convict
ed last May OF manslaughter for
killing Hugh Tanning. would be
taken to the state penitentiary to-
morrow to begin serving IS years
in prison apparently brings to an
end one OF the most notable legal
fights in the history Of this coun-
ty. For two years Corbitt has
fought for his liberty. three times
appearing before, the court sof gen.
reraf sessions here and the supreme
court once passing on his case.
Announcement was made today
that Sheriff r. Fulton Dukes to-
morrow would take 'Corbitt to
prison.
Corbitt in March, 1920. became
involved in an alteration in front
of his home near Salley with Bryan
Salley. Julian Cooper, Hugh Fan
ming and Jonas Salley. The. first
three were killed and Jonas Salley
blinded. Corbitt contended that
the four men were intoxicated and
that on a previous visit to his home
that night had built a fire close
to outbuildings and endangered
them. Returning as he was ex-
tinguishing the fire, he claimed, the
men advanced on him and he open
ed fire.
The state contended that Corbitt
became enraged about the fire.
which it contended, was caused by
the exhaust Of a stalled automobile,
and killed the men without cause.
Feeling ran high for a time in
this section. Corbitt was first tried
in September, 1920, for the killing
of Bryan Salley and was acquitted.
In January, 1921, he was arraigned
fo rthe. killing Of Hugh Tanning
but the defense in demurrer con-
tended tha, the three deaths re-
suited from the same act and that
Corbitt should not be tried again
after being acquitted in one case.
Judge Shipp upheld the demurrer
but the supreme court held that
the deaths were separate acts and
remanded Corbitt for further trial
Last May he was put on trial for
killing Tanning and convicted OF
manslaughter.

ployed in navy yards today sharp
" criticized methods of gathering
data used by local wage boards
and requested wage increases Of 25
per cent at the opening session of
the hearing of the General Wage
Board of Review at the Navy De-
partment. Representatives Of ma
val station employees from all parts
of the country attended the hear
ing, it was said, because Of the
continued recommendations Of To-
cal boards Of wage cuts and re.
ductions in working forces.
George A. Wilberton, represent
ing the buffers and polishers Of
the Washington Navy Yard. who
said he was speaking for this craft
in all Of the yards, charged that
the local wage board had sought
information from small shops al
though instructed to seek data
from the principal establishments
doing work similar in character
and comparable in volume to the
local yard
J.. w. Osman, testifying for the
Washington yards boilermakers.
said a committee representing the
men in seeking wage data had
been refused information by many
firms and had been forced to get
affidavits from individual employees
as to the amounls they received. A
letter from the yards conmandant
authorizing the committee TO col
1ect data, he declared, stated that
the information it was gathering
was due to be confused with that
which the local wage board itself
would seek through question
naires. This. he charged, clearly
indicated that two classes of in
formation were heing7 given out,
one to the men and the other to the
board. -.
James N'Connell, president of

the metal trades department OF the
American Federation of Labor. de-
clared data collected by the local
boards by means of questionnaires
did not represent a fair statement
of wages paid for various classes
of work.
John Francis Doyle, Of the
Brooklyn yard, testified that boil
ernakers there were informed that
men similarly employed by civilian
firms were paid as high as S1.12
1-2 an hour but that the companies
had informed the local wage
beard they paid 45c an hour. The
lower figure. Mr.. Doyle asserted,
was the wage paid apprentices.
