Columbia S. C , July 29 —Ra'c King had a walk In the open yester day afternoon. The York count\ man. convicted at Chester recently of the murder of his wife, is locked tonight in a cell on the solitary confinement row But. the prison authorities give him a little fresh air every day or so.

Every day or so, depending on the speed of whisker growth, such a prisoner is visited by a pris oner barber, and scissors and razor are put to work King was brought from his cell and placed in a chair in a hallway near the door of the guard captain's office. This was his barber shop King's home at present Is a cell into which no sun shines and from which his only view is gray in terior w'ails and dark cell bars. At intervals he is visited. when guards bring him meals or mail or other necessities. But no one is al lowed to see him To reporters Cap tain Sanders, head of the prison guard, replied: "Can't let you see him unless you bring r.n order from the governor. He's the governors prisoner, not ours."
