Glady.3 Simmons, wai shot and killed by her first cousin. The unus ual interest in the case is due to the fact that the dead girl was only 11 years of age and her murderer is only 14. The affair took place on the plan tation of El lt. Norria, about six miles from the city and occurred Saturday afternoon about three o'clock. The girl lived, however, un til Sunday morning and no intimation reached Anderson of the happening. The boy who did thc shooting;. Ed win Brown by name, has been lodged in. the county jail, .(being -brought to Anderson Sunday afternoon by tho deputy sheriff. - The details of the affair seem to- in dicate that it was hardly less than a ?teer ease of murder. According to the ?tory- told -of -the incident- the two little negroes were out together when the girl asked the boy to buy some candy for her. He- refused and she repeated her request, catching him by the coat, whereupon, he turned upon her and fired, the ?hot taking effect Just below her left knee. Ac cording to the information received' here, it seems that he then picked j ?ber up and carried h?r part ? the) way to her home and then ??cam ? frightened, dropping his gruesome burden and hiding in a near-by barn. The wounded girl twas later found: and carried to her home where she] died on the following day.- - j Coroner Harbin held an inquest' tSund&y afternoon' and the Jury re", turned a verdict that the deceased, cam? to' her death fretin a gun. shotL wound inflicted by Erwin Brown. Tho] boy was then brought to Anderson and lodged in jail.
