c. H. St. Clair, of the River side mine, his sister-in-law, Mrs. M. J. St. Clair, and her infant child, were the victims of a near serious accident z-ts~EzSasssr '--AHOH1 -sHrShI--~ ~SsH ~'A HT en by Mrs. St. Clair, crashed through the guard rail at the north end of Volunteer Way Tuesday afternoon and fell up- side down on the mud flat some 8 or 10 feet below. All three of the occupants were in the front seat when the car took it's headlong plunge but, although the top was com pletely crushed in and the windshield smashed to bits, virtually in their faces, all three of the occupants escaped with no more serious injuries than a few bruises and a gen. ral shaking up. In view of the fact that they fell head down. ward, underneath the heavy car, their escape from severe injury was little short of provi- dential.
 The car was travelling at a very slow speed, according to eyewitnesses, and the accident is believed to have been due to the failure of Mrs. St. Clair to properly estimate the distance in making the sharp turn from International Way onto the bridge.
 Following the accident the car was turned over by by islanders and hauled up on the road, where it was found to be but little damaged, aside from the destruction of the top and windshield.

Staunton, Va, Oct. wv. B. F.
Crowell of Roanoke, came to the
city last .Wednesday<to pour oil on
the troubled waters here.p \. a spe-
cial meeting was held for this pur-
pose, in which all the members of
the Order of Knights of Pythias
here were invited to participate.
The affair was held behind closed
doors. Grand Chancellor Crowell
did all he could in the way of talk
to infuse new life in the lodges here
as the work Of Pythianism is and
has been at standstill ever since
the session of the Grand Lodge
here in June and the subsequent dis
closures concerning the money and
the handling of the business of the
Grand Lodge.
To outsiders, Crowell stated the
publications were uncalled for and
the work OF the Order all right.
Just what he will do about the
Grand Attorney and the Grand Mas
ter of Exchequer have not been
given to the public. The outstand-
ing question is about the money that
never reached the treasury of the
Grand Lodge. 1t is reported that
Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green
has decided to take personal in
terest in the affairs of the Grand
Lodge and to insist upon reduction
of expenses and an account Of the
money, which did not reach the
Grand Lodge and Grand Court.

Court Defied--Two Men and One Woman Victims
The Supreme Court Had Conclusion


Aiken, S. c., Oct Shy Associat-
ed Press. )-Clarence and Demmond
Lowman, colcred men, and Bertha
Lowman, colored, all three of whom
were being tried for the murder in
connection with tie death of Sheriff
IL. II Howard, of Aiken County,
were lynched early today on the
outskirts of Aiken.
A mob broke into the Aiken Jail at
O'Clock this morning and after
overpowering Jailer Rupert Taylor
and Sheriff NOllie Robinson, seized
the party and carried them in auto-
mobiles to a point on the Aiken
mile beyond the Aiken limits,
where, in a little pine tnicket, the
three were shot TO death.
Granted New Trial
The three people, having once been
convicted. but granted a new trial
by the supreme court, were placed
on trial a second time early this
week. Yesterday Special Judge S.
T. Lanham, presiding, directed
verdict Of mot guilty" for Demmond
Lowman on the charge of conspiracy
to murder. 1t is believed that this
verdict rrecipitated the 1ynching.
Taylor, the jailer, said all electric
light wires 10 the Jail were severed
and he was called. to the door by
the MOB. A demand was made for
the prisoners, but he refused and
had Sheriff Robinson called by tel
ephone.
The sheriff arrived while the mob
surrounded the jail, and was prompt
ly overpowered, according to the of
ficer's version of the affair.
Sheriff Follows Distanced
Meantime. some mem bers of the
MOI gained access to the Jail through
a window in a portion of the build
ing used as residence for the Jail
eg, and secured the three parties.
The three victims were shot sew
eral tines each but were not rid
died with bullets. Their bodies re-
mained in the little pine thicket for
several hours after they were killed
Although Demon Lowman was ac-
Quilted of the conspiracy charge, he
was rearrested yesterday on q war
rant charging assault and battery
with intent to kill, and was in jail
on that warrant.
Estimates of Mob Vary
The two men were sentenced to
death at their first trial, while the
woman was given life sentence.
No reliable estimate of the number
of men in the mob was available
early today. One woman at the Jail
declared there were q thousand in
the crowd of 1ynchers. while others
said there were not more than thirty.
The cutting of the electric light
wires left the Jail and town in dark
ness. making il impossible. accord
ing to officers to identify those who
COMPOSED the mob
Sheriff Robinson was one of the Of
fcers who as deputy. accompanied
Sheriff Howard on the fatal raid on
the Lowman home in April. 1925.
One of the contentious of the de-
PENDANTS at the first trial was that
the defendants were not aware that
the raiders were officers when they
descended upon their homes in a
search for liquor.
Annie Lowman, the mother Of De.
mon and Bertha, was shot and kill
ed bv one OF the officers Clarence
was alleged to have fired the shot
that killed Sheriff Howard. Bertha
was shot through the body in the
melee that followed the raid.
