POLICEMAN BADLY SHOT LEMASTER Victim of Shot Gun in Hands of THOMAS Because he Had Been Ejected >From the Glendale Mill He Lay in Wait. Glendale, June 19 (?) J. T. LEMASTER, the policeman of this place, was shot in the face, neck and breast yesterday evening about 7 o'clock by Robin THOMAS. The weapon used was a shot gun with a small shot, but THOMPSON [sic] being some distance off it did not inflict any serious wounds. Yesterday morning THOMAS was given his time by the weave room overseer, Mr. HAMES and later in the afternoon THOMAS went in the mill and it is said was trying to cause a row with Mr. HAMES. He was put out by Mr. LEMASTER. THOMAS then got a shot gun and going to a patch of woods that was on LEMASTER's way home waited for him. When LEMASTER came along THOMAS stepped from behind a tree and fired three shots. THOMAS then made his escape, going towards Clifton. Alvin STEWART who was with THOMAS was arrested and carried to Spartanburg last night by Robt. L. BROWN. BROWN is the policeman employed by the electric railway company at Glendale Park. He arrived in the city on the nine o'clock car from Glendale having in custody Alvin STEWART. Mr. LEMASTER, who was shot by THOMAS, also accompanied them and after landing their man behind the bars at the police station, returned to Glendale. It is said that STEWART was under the influence of liquor and attempted to resist the officers. When he reached the city he was securely handcuffed. He is being held on the charge of being an accomplice in an assault and battery case. THOMAS effected his escape after shooting LEMASTER and although diligent search is being instituted for him, his arrest had not been reported today. LEMASTER's wounds are not regarded as serious but are quite painful. The distance from which his would-be assassin fired, is doubtless the only thing that saved him from more serious and probably fatal wounds. HUNSINGER HYPNOTIZED Fell Under Influence of a Stranger C. O. HUNSINGER, a section hand in the weave room at the Spartan Mills says he was hypnotized by a stranger on an electric car last Thursday morning and taken out in the woods and robbed. He boarded on Main street car intending to go out to the end of Main street to see a friend. As soon as the car started a man with a sandy mustache, who looked to be a drummer, asked him if he smoked and handed him a sample package of tobacco, which he appeared to be giving away. The drummer then came and sat on the seat with him and began talking. All the while HUNSINGER says he felt a strange feeling stealing over him, which he was unable to resist. When Oakland Avenue was reached his companion got off the car and urged on by an irresistible impulse he followed. After that HUNSINGER does not remember anything until he waked up sitting on a log near Beaumont with Officers DODD and BRYSON standing near him. A portion of his clothing was gone and of $5 which he had with him when his adventure began only $1.10 remained. Officer BRYSON says that when they found HUNSINGER he seemed to be in a dazed and dreamy condition although there was no odor of whiskey about him and no evidence that he had been drinking. HUNSINGER was removed to his home near Spartan Mills and put under the care of Dr. H. E. McDOWELL. His friends think he was hypnotized and that he is still more or less under hypnotic influence of the stranger, whose suggestions he seemed unable to resist. Mrs. HUNSINGER says that her husband does not drink and has not drunk any whiskey since he joined the church last September and HUNSINGER stoutly denies that he drank anything at all. He believes that the man hypnotized him. The police are on the lookout for the hypnotist and are giving the strange and mysterious case a thorough investigation. There are several features of it that they do not understand and they are trying to solve the puzzle. {I wonder if a "madstone" would have helped :} free post Lisa

Have been doing some research on this part of my family line recently. My grandfather had a brother named Albert and Robert (who migrated to Texas) and the other children I know of are Tanner and Tessie. I was told that he served in the Civil War - was a farrier in the Army of Northern VA under R.E. Lee and was at Appomattox when Lee surrendered to Grant. Have a book "The Appomattox Paroles" that lists several John Griffin's but don't really know if this is the John related to me.
