At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning tho P<>??e wan joined by a trainer with blood hounds from the State penitentiary. The blood hounds were brought from Columbia Monday night in an automobile and (he party stopped In Sumter and obtained a driver Who wan familiar with the road to Plnewood.

The negro's reply . was a fusil. i <u> of pistol shots which 'struck the policeman In various parts of his breast and stomftch and killed him before he could make a move to defend himself. The tragedy all happened so quickly and dramatical ly that before the stunned bystand ers wore aware of what had occur red Duke was making good his es cape.

Afi?r a fruitless search of many hours In a downpour of rain they learned that the negro had been shot at Ashley Junction by .a mem ber of his own race, who accosted the negro and asked if his name was Dukes, In reply Dukes told _t&* negro to ask him no questions and at the same time made a mpttpa to drawn gxtfi, butt, his captor was too quick and shot him through the h omach. jumped upon him and dis armed the murderer. .
