DECLARES BLEASE IS
?O APPEAU IN COURT
AT ANDERSON NEXT MONTH |
AS ATTORNEY FOR S. H.
WHITLOCK
INTERESTING CASE
If True This Will Probably Be
Mr. BU use's First Case After
Resignation.
A persistent rumor current, on the
streets for the past several days that
cx-Go?3rnor Cole. L. Blease will p.p
pear as counsel for a defendant who
will be tried for manslaughter at the
approaching term of the court of gen
eral sessions for Anderson County
was confirmed yesterday by a local
citizen who stated that he knew for a
certainty that Mr. Blease would as
sist in the defense of S. H. Whitlock,
who will be placed on trial at the ap
proaching term of the criminal court
for tho slaying of Charles Robertson,
at Pendteton, several weeks ago.
If this statement turns out to be
true, this will probably be Mr.
Blease'B first appearance' in court as
a practicing attorney after bis resig
nation as governor of the State. So
far as could bo learned, there is no
other term of court on in the State
between now and February 1 in which
the ex-governor would be likely to
appear as attorney for someone.
The trial of S. H. Whitlock promises
to be the most interesting at tho ap
proaching terra of court and will of
iiaeir. probably draw a large number
of spectators. But If ex-Governor
Blease appears hero as associate
counsel for the defendant named, it
goes without saying that the number
of onlookers at the trial will be ma
terially, enlarged.
