Got. Blease Pardons George Hasty.
Columbia State. -': . '
George Hasty, convicted of the mur
der of Milan Bennett, at Gaffney, De
cember 31, 1905, left the penitentiary
yesterday a free man. There is yet
against him an Indictment for the
murder of Abbott Davisonvvi"f
The two murdered men' were' mem
bers of a theatrical troupe. Hasty Was
lbs brotherof a man' who "hsd come
to Gaffney from "yorflt-'CaroKni'T
short time before and was running-: a
hotel. During the afternoon before
the play by the "Nothing but Money"
company, Misses Verne 8heridan and
May Bishop were the unwilling re
cipients of some attentions from
Hasty. After the performance "he
made advances to one of the young
women, Miss Sheridan, and the latter
railed Milan Bennett, and, according y
to the testimony, he sat.m her room
writing until quite late, and then
wrapped up and' lay-down across the
foot of ber bed to give' her protection
until morning. She testified that she
was'engaged to Bennett, who was the
musical director of the company,
. At breakfast the next morning she
unwisely pointed out Hasty to Bennett
and Davison as the. young man - who
had annoyed her. Mr. Davison, who
oore a . good reputation and was a
member of. the Masonic, Elk and Py
thian orders started to reprimand or
chastise Hasty. Bennett followed
them out of the dining room. Neither
was armed. It was at breakfast time,
a very unusual time for one to bear
arms who was not expecting trouble
Hasty had a ready pistol and silled
the two men. ; Miss Sheridan's testi
mony was that Bennett was standing
absolutely suit when he was killed.
