Will Testify in This Case in the Trial
of Which Great Interest Centers —
Horton's Second Trial For His
Life.
I'or the second time LaFuyette Hor
ton s fstc is in the hands ot a jury of
hit peers, who this week are hearing a
recital o( tho story of the killing of
Thomas ffivins, the friend and neigh

JURY DECLARED HIM INNOCENT
Fayette Horton Was Given His Free
dom Yesterday.
Fayette Horton,, tho slayer ol Tom
Bivins, walked from the courtroom a
free man yesterday, a jury having de
clared him innocent of the charge of
murder preferred.
The verdict war rendored within
hour after the jury went out.
The announcement of tho verdict
w-as naturally pleasing to tho prisoner
and members of his family present.
There was an affecting scene wbon
thoy clasped each other and wept for
joy. Friends of the defendant crowd
ed aronnd to congratulate him upon
the termination of tho case.
Many expected such a verdict, and
the announcement creutod very little
surprise outside the courtroom.
It was Horton's second trial for his
of Mrs. Horton.
And about this trial tho deepest
local interest is centered.
When the case was called Monday
morning tho courtroom was thronged
with witnesses, friends of both parties
to the tragody and spectators gener
ally. Both sides announced ready.
By 11 o’clock the jury was seenrod
and the case opened. “The twelve
goo l men and trne” are Messrs. C. H.
Putnam, T. C. Edwards, D J. Harden,
J. M. Ilaggott, R. L. Oliver, John W.
Law, John T. Bragg, D. C. Brannon,
\V. M. Kidd, G. C. Wimbisb, Jesse H.
Chambless, E. W. Brady.
Solicitor General Hooper and Jndge
llixon represented the state, while
.Messrs. J. It. Williams, Blalock &
Cobb are Horton's attorneys.
The trial of this case may consume
the best half of the week.
Mr. Horton’s wife sat by his sido
throughout the day, while his sou and
daughter are among the host of wit
nesses. Mrs. Bivins, wife of the dead
man, was also in court, with a little
babe in her arms, and listened closely
to the evidence.
Sixty or seventy witnesses were
sworn, and all will probably testify.
It was just about a year ago that La-
I’ayette Horton shot and instantly
killed Thomas Bivins, who had en
tered Horton's honse late at dight.
The only witnesses to the tragody were
Horton s wifo and daughter, and the
l''c» of defense is that Bivins was grap
pling with .Mrs. Horton to kill her
when Horton shot him dead.
The theory of the state is that Biv-
m- was shot witbont cause, and that
the case is murder and nothing less.
Thu evidence on the lirsT trial was
conflicting, hut the jury returned n
verdict of voluntary manslaughter and
Horton was sentenced to a term of ten
years. The snpreme court granted a
new trial, which is now progressing
*n l in which a great deal of interest
center-.
tence of ten years for voluntary man
slaughter. But the suprome court
granted another trial.
In the termination of this Horten
was more fortunate and is now free.
The homicide for which he was in
carcerated and tried occurred in Hor
ton's own homo more than a year ago,
when he shot and instantly killed Tom
Bivins.
Bivins was his friend and neighbor,
but, it was alleged, had entered Hor
ton's honse aud attached his wife.
To defend her from Bivius’ uplifted
knife, Horton declared, the fatal shot
was fired. Horton’s wife aud daughter
alone witnessed this terrible midnight
tragedy in I heir home
The state introduced testimony to
combat tho evidence of the defendant,
but the jnry gave to him the benefit of
thodonbt.
Upon the first ballot the jury stood
nine for acquittal and three for man
slaughter or innrder, it is not known
which, bnt after a very few ballots the
verdict as rendered was made
Aud thus ended one of the most sen
sational murder trials in tho aunals of
Sumter county.

Mr. Pettigrew Reiterates Ills State
ment—Hanna Enters Denial.
Wasiunoton, Jane 5.—In the coarss
of a speech on tbe anti-trnst bill in tho
senate, Mr. Bacon of Georgia said^io
was profoundly surprised that the state
ment made a few days ago by Mr. Pet
tigrew that the Cramps, shipbuilders of
Philadelphia, bad contributed 3400,000
to tbe Republican national campaign
fund of 1800 with the promise that thoy
would be recouped by contracts for tho
bnilding of warships had not boom do
med. He regarded it as a most remark-
ublo statement and directed attention to
the fact that Mr. Hanna and Mr. Carter,
intimately connected with tho cam
paign, were in the chamber and heard
the statement.
Instantly Mr. Hanna WK on his feet.
"H," said ho sharply, “I slionld un
dertake to reply to oil tbe statements
mode on this floor it would occupy more
timo of tho souatn than oven the senator
from Georgia does. [Laughter]. Iheaid
the statement anil considered it un
worthy of notico aud I declined to dig
nify it by a denial.
"I had nothiug to do with the cam
paign of 181)2, bnt I have heard this
story and I say most emphatically ami
decidedly that I believe it is not truo.
So far ns such allusions are mode to tho
campaign ot 1806,1 desire to say that no
promises wero iuadc, no considerations
were offered to any person or any cor
poration for contributions mado."
Mr. Carter warmly deniod any im
proper uso of money in 1802 nnd stated
us fnlso any statement that promises
wero mnde.
Mr. Pettigrew followed with asser
tions thnt Cramps had told him that lie
gave 8400,000 in 181)2 and said it was im
properly spent.
Mr. Pettigrew then took up tho mi
nority report of tho committco on privi-
legos and elections which investigated
tbe charges against Senator Hanna and
read from it at length.
Mr. Hanna briefly reviewed the Ohio
senatorial campaign nnd said there was’
an attempt "inaclo by Democrats and
traitorous Republicans liko the senator
from South Dakota," who attempted to
defeat the nominee of thv Republican
party for senator.
