Here he found a short individual in charge of a general business, including stationery, candy, newspapers, and toys, in addition to the articles for smokers. Garrison pulled out his memorandum concerning that box of cigars still in possession of Pike, at Branchville.
I don't like to see a young girl like that with no one to look after her, and she running around loose in that auto all the time. Why, she even took it out one rainy night last week at ten o'clock. Said she was worried about her grandfather, but I didn't approve of her running all the way up there to Branchville in the rain."
Once in the open air again, with the sunshine streaming upon him, Garrison felt a rebound in his thoughts. He started slowly up the road to Branchville, thinking of the murder as he went. The major requisite, he was thoroughly aware, was motive. Men were never slain, except by lunatics, without a deeply grounded reason.
"All this, with the robbery you hired Tuttle to commit at Branchville, ought to keep you reflecting in prison for some little time to come if you think you'd like to go to court and air your grievances publicly." Theodore was intensely white. Yet his nerve was not entirely destroyed. "All this won't save your bacon, when I turn over all my affidavits," he said.

I was on a detail and made three trips via Raleigh, Charlotte, Columbia to Branchville, S. C. These prisoners had been confined on Belle's Island, in James River, and were in a most pitiable condition half starved, half naked. Most of them had been in prison for months and very few had a change of garments.
Without even halting to lock the door as he fled from the place Garrison hastened pell-mell to the telegraph-office, on the entrance floor of the building, and filed the following despatch: JAMES PIKE, Branchville, N. Y.: Get Will Barnes on train, headed for my office, soon as possible. As he stepped in the elevator to return to his floor, he found Tuttle in the corner of the car.
The enemy's cavalry had retreated before us, but his infantry was reported in some strength at Branchville, on the farther side of the Edisto; yet on the appearance of a mere squad of our men they burned their own bridges the very thing I wanted, for we had no use for them, and they had.
Vaguely he remembered to have noticed that the man who had come here to Branchville with him on the train carried no baggage. He had no doubt the man had been close upon his trail for some considerable time; but why, and what he wanted, could not be so readily determined.
