IRATE HUSBAND
KILLS TWO MEN
Alleged That They Mad Kidnapped the
Wife of His Bosom.
SOUTH CAROLINA TRAGEDY
’ Slain Men Were Prominent Doc
tor and His Son.
Dr. Thomas E. James, a prominent
physician of Greenville, S. C., who has
many friends, and who enjoyed a
lucrative practice, and his son, Wade
Hampton James, were killed near Six
Mile church, in Pickens county Wed
nesday night, just before midnight.
The shooting was done by Sam
Lanier, a prosperous and popular
iarmer of Pickens county, and the
alleged cause of the double killing was
that Dr. James and his son were
driving away, so Lanier thought, with
she latter’s wife.
The physician was instantly killed,
but his son lingered until about noon
Thursday, when he expired, despite
She attention given him by several
physicians.
It was at first reported that Wade
Hampton James was only slightly
wounded, but his friends were later
informed that he, too, was dead.
Dr. James and his son left Green
ville a few days ago to visit their plan
tation, which is in the vicinity of Six-
Mile mountain.
On their way they stopped at the
iouse of Sam Lanier and there, it is
»aid, by some means, procured Mrs.
Lanier and the three started towards
their destination, which is unknown.
They had not gone very far, however,
whan Sam Lanier intercepted them.
He had learned, it is represented,that
•they had driven away with his wife.
The irate husband, armed with a
shotgun, started in pursuit. As soon
as Mrs. Lanier saw her husband ap
proaching, she, it is said, leaped from
the buggy and disappeared in the
darkness. Just as she leaped Sam
Lanier emptied the contents of his
shotgun into the bodies of the men he
thought were carrying his wife away.
Lanier went to Pickens Thursday
morning and surrendered to the sheriff.
Dr. James was for many years a
resident of Anderson county and has
practiced at Piedmont and Newry.
For the past four months he has been
residing in Greenville. A wife and
several children survive him.
The coroner held an inquest late
Thursday afternoon and found a ver
dict to the effect that the two men had
been killed by Sam Lanier.
The shooting caused considerable
sxcitement in Pickens, although the
aoan who did the killing has many
friends in the county, who announce
that he will be exonerated.
n’VEAGH FOILED.
Carter’s Attorney Received No
Encouragement In Plea
For His Client.
A Washington dispatch says: The
president has heard what he has ex
pected ever since he approved the
findings and sentence of the Carter
eourtmartial, a plea for the commuta
tion of the former captain’s sentence
®f imprisonment. Wayne MacVeagh,
the chief of Carter’s big staff of coun
sel, called at the white house Thurs
day morning and called the president’s
attention to what he believes the
harshness of Carter’s sentence.
When he went away from the execu
tive mansion, Mr. MacVeagh said he
had called to pay his respects and to
eongratulate the president on the re
»nlt in Ohio. After doing that the
iarmer cabinet officer brought up the
matter of Carter’s sentence. His ef
fort was apparently made chiefly for
She purpose of getting some expression
from the president which would af
ford him an idea of what kind of re
eeption his appeal for executive clem
ency will receive. So far as can be
learned he received no encouragement.
It was not the president’s intention
that he should.
McVeagh says that Carter has given
ap hope of a favorable hearing on his
appeal to the supreme court, and is,
therefore, preparing the way for an
effort to get the president to commute
the sentence. The ex-captain is still
stt Governor’s Island. The time he is
spending in prison there does not
count off on the term of five years he
is to serve at Fort Leavenworth.
Warden Claughrey will put Carter
in charge as an assistant superintend
ent of construction in charge of the
addition that is being built to the
prison at Leavenworth.
The warden proposes that the gov
• arnment shall get some return, even
though it be small, for the instruction
it has given Carter as an euginner.

REPORTER WORTH A MILLION,
Now Editor and Proprietor 0! the Jersey
City Journal.
Col. Sheffield Phelps, owner of the
Jersey City Journal, was the richest
newspaper man In America several
years ago. From his father, the late
William Walter Phelps, he Inherited a
fortune of several millions, and under
his active and practical management
be made his newspaper the foremost
Journal of the State.
At the end of his first year he was
bitterly attacked by his political ene
mies, who brought libel suits for many
hundreds of thousands of dollars
against him, but he won easily In the
courts. Since then he has been a pow
erful political factor In Hudson Coun
ty, and his course has been signally In
dorsed by Gov. Voorhees.
The Colonel, whose title comes from
appointment on the staff of Gov.
Griggs, lives in one of the showy places
of the State, directly opposite New
York City, on the crest of the Pali
sades. The family estate comprises
more than 3,000 acres. It Is probably
tho costliest farm In America. The
land is worth In the neighborhood of
$3,000,000 for building purposes.
After his graduation from Yale, in
1880, Col. Phelps began active news
paper work as a reporter on the World
at New York. Later he became an ed
itorial writer on the Mall and Express,
and afterward filled the position of act
ing managing edltoroh the same paper.
Once, while on thp World staff, he
was sent to report the wedding of the
daughter of a Wall street man recently
from the West. The reporters were
met at the front door by a trained ser
vant, who quickly separated them from
the guests and led them to the host’s
private room, where the banker met
them In and fiave them type
written slips containing the Informa
tion they were sent for. Then cham
pagne was opened, and the banker took
some cigars from a drawer in his desk.
“Have one,” he said to Phelps.
"They’re genuine conchas. I Import
them myself.”
"Thanks,” said Phelps pleasantly, as
he took the cigar. "Have one of mine.

who have returned from
the heart of Africa and the Australian
continent, tell wonderful stories of
nest-building people who inhabit the
wilds of those countries.
In the bushmen of Australia we find
perhaps the lowest order of men that
are known. They are so primitive that
they do not know enough to build even
the simplest form of huts for shelter.
The nearest they could approach to
It is to gather a lot of twigs and grass,
and taking them into a thicket or jun
gle, they build a nest for a home,
much as does a bird. The nest is usu
ally built large enough for the family,
and if the latter be very numerous then
the nests are of a very large size.
Into this place they all turn and
snuggle and curl up together like so
many kittens. Sometimes the foliage
will grow together and form a sort of
natural covering, but there is never
any attempt at constructing a protec
tion from the rain and storms, and it
is a marvel how they endure them.
Where there is a particularly good
piece of jungle for home sites it will
be quickly appropriated for the pur
pose, and sometimes hundreds of these
nests will be found together in the
bush, as it is called.
