HELD SEANCES OVER
BODY OF DEAD CHILD
Trying to Restore It to Life. Sheriff
Makes Arrest after Two Weeks ton
tinuation. .
Greenville, March 7.?A white man,
an Itinerate sigh painter named L, J.
Free, was jailed last night by Sheriff
Rector to save him from violence at
tlie hands of a mob that had gathered
about a suburban home, incensed over
the man's attempt to restore life to an
Infant that had died last Monday night.
There Is another whlto man for whom
the sheriff is searching, It being al
leged that he was the ring-leader In
tho grewsome ?performanco that had
gone on In this house continuously
slnco the death of the child. It is
one of the most horrible cases in tho
annals of crime?if It can bo so desig
nated?that has come to light In this
county, and Is so revolting in detail
that it is bard for one to realize that
such an orgy could be enacted in a
civilized country.
From what can be gathered of tho
affair, seems that Free and another
"holiness" fanatic, having heard or
the death of the little babe of James
Hallow, went to his home and told
the sorrowing mother and father that
they could restore life to the child.
The parents, crazed In grief und sway
ed by the pleadings of the two char
latans, allowed the men to begin
their grewsome work. Every day and
night since the child died It Is alleged
these men havo resorted to Hallew's
house and have held seances that sur
pass anything over heard of among
Orientals.
Late yesterday afternoon a citizen
of that section of the city called Sher
iff Rector over the telephone and re
lated to him what had been going on
at this house, and advised him that a
crowd of some 200 people had father
ed about the place with the intention
of taking the two charlatans off to the
woods snd chastising them severely.
When Sheriff Rector arrived on the
scene one of the men had fled, but Free
was taken in charge. He protested
lpudly against arrest, unless the Lord
commanded it From what Sheriff Rec
tor gathered, the man was practically
insane; and on the way to jail loud
ly proclaimed that he was in the cus
tody of the Ix>rd.
A resident of the section of the
city whore this performance had been
going on telephoned The News last
night that the "holiness" preachers
had been working with the child's
body since the night it died, and Had
so twisted and pulled at Its limbs
that they were perfectly limber and
the body blue from bruises. Tho
child was but five weeks old. This
party stated that some of the resi
dents of the neighborhood had dubbed
one of the charlatans "Daniel the
Prophet," and that they claimed that
they were Interpreters of the "un-.
known tongue," a lingo which religious
fanatics have been heard to use in
this vicinity for a number of years.
It scorns that the matter went so
far that tho more level-headed people
of the community became so Indig
nant over tho grewsome affair that
they resolved to use violence, If nec
essary, to drive the fakirs rrom the
community. It was when a crowd,
estimated at some 200, gathered last
night about the house for this pur
pose, someone Informed the sheriff
of what was about to take place.
Coroner Rlack went to tho sceno
with Sheriff Rector. He called In a
physician and had an examination of
tho body made, the physician arriving
at the conclusion that the child died
of natural causes.
While investigating the mattor last
night Sheriff Rector arrested two
whito men, A. C. Roberts and W.
R. Scott, who had with them three
and one-half gallons of contrabrand
whiskey. Sheriff Rector states that
theso men attended tho soanco over
tho child's body on Wednesday night
and had comie back last night for the
purpose of attending another per
formance. The men were placed In
tho county Jail and chargos of trans
porting contraband whiskey ontorod
against them.
