The house where the father and the son were living together was then searched, and blood stains were found upon the "set” dining table, and on the floor under the table. Upon further investigation and in quiry, it was found that Jeff Clark had gone to his brother, Newton Clark, early Wednesday morning, and tried to borrow his pistol. This Newton Clark refused to give him. and he went to a store nearby and bought a can of concentrated lye. and then returned to his father's house. Jeff Clark prepared breakfast for his father as usual, and when Mr. Clark had begun to drink bis coffee he stopped suddenly, and said: "There's something wrong with tnis eoffO*. for it is barely warm and my mouth has begun to blister already." Jeff Clark left the house then very hurriedly,' but returned during the day finding his father still alive. Therefore, It was concluded that the fatal shot or shots were fired on the following morning. Jeff Clark was removed from the town Jail Friday night, and carried on the Coast Line train to Elloree for safe keeping, as there was some fear of lynching. Later he was tak en to Monck's Corner, and put in jail, along with his mother, who is thought to know more of the mur der than she is willing to tell. Mr. A W.
