the alleged awful tragedy of July

cessive meeting of the directors

they adopted resolutions affirming
and re-aflirming their complete
confidence iu Dargan. The stock
holders thought the big coiuhiua
tion immensely prosperous on ac
count of the handsome dividends
they received -dividends,il is said
which invaded the capital stock.
Not until a fortnight or so ago
was it discovered that Ihe husiiic.
was bankrupt and that its personal
property iu the shape of oil did uot
tally with the luniks. The big tanks
at Charleston were empty and the
tanks elsew here were well nigh so.
Dargan was excused from its pn-a
idency aud general munagerhhip.
The business collapsed, carrying
with it ruin to the Darlington
Trust Company, the J. (!. Met 'all
mercantile business and many in
dividuals. The receiver, Mr.Iirighl
Williamson, says that its allairsarc
so complicated that is impossible
lo give out yet an accurate state
ment. This history, together with the
report that Dargan went lo Paris
'2 years ago anil had made a waxen
image of himself, and another that
his brother, Pcgntm, had becu for
several years studying hypnotism
and occult arts in the North; tin
fact that the coroner did not go in
with his jury to view the corpse
and the rumor that he said, utter
the burial, that he could uot sweiir
that Dargau was dead; that W. K.
Dargau ordered out of the mansion
two men who had come with the
jury to seethe body; that the grave
was bricked and cemented; that
there was a great ell'ort to avoid
publicity on the night of the trage
dy, aud other rumors and reports
too numerous to recount, constitute
the basis for the widespread suspi-
on that It Is a put up, job. So
frantic has gossip grown that n tel
ephone message went abroad last
night that the grave hud lecn
opened and found empty.
The coroner tells me that ou the
night of the 10th, when he got to
the office where the deed was done,
he found the front door and the
partition door locked. In the back
room were Pegraiu Dargau, Dr.
I'Mvards and the dead man. The
dead uiau's jaws were tied with a
towel to prevent his mouth from
flying opeu. He was sitting iu un
easy chair with his feet upon a book
case. Dr. Adwarda said that he
waa dead wheu first examined by
him. Both W. F. and I'cgrain
Dargan asked the coroner if he rec
ognized the corpse, and he replied
that he did, and that it was Kolx-rt
Keith Dargan, They told him that
they did not want a crowd to col
lect or any publicity, and he agreed
that they might remove the corpse
to the mansion. When they were
taking it up to bear it to the car
riage at the door the coroner of
fered to assist them, but Pegrani
objected. The coroner thrust an
arm under the body anyhow while
they were lilting it into the car
riage. It had not yet, he says,
growu cold. This was the last time
the coroner saw the dead man.
"If I had the authority," said
he, "I would have the grave open
ed. It's the shortest way to stop
all this talk.'
I saw Mr. W. F. Dargan, a hand
some man, and the picture of a
patrician.
"No sir," he answered, "I have
nothing to say. The man is dead.

it there were signs of decomposi

J. K. Doyle, a harltcr and a mc hi

said that the man is dead. He said

"No,'' he answered, "everylsid

That Dargan was the only man
who knew the business perl'ectH
ull agree. He knew it well enough
and had time mid business capaci

that nobody else could grasp it.
There is about as much gossip at
the business end as there is at the
