The crime wan committed yester day morning about 0 o'clock) anil it seems that tho girl'w mother was not at home. Her father ls dead. The negro made an attempt to cut the young lady's throat with a pair of scissors and she was also rather bail ly bruised about tho throat. It wah elated last night that although he; condition was not critical, she was in a rather serious1 condition. Luster was a trusty on ('apt. Mc Connell's chalpgang, which is now locatod near tho Tr)reo-and-Twenty school. lt seems that for the past several days ho had been going to tho girl's homo to get, water for tho other convict?. Yesterday morning ho went after a bucket of water, and after drawing lt from thc woll. he went into thc house and stated that ho wantcO to borrow a pair of sc!s lars. After securing these, ho at tacked the girl, cutting her throat with the scissors, tho wound being very slight. Her screams frighten ed her assailant away. Tho girl's mother lived on tho place of Dr. Pepper and lt. ls said that, some of tho convicts working near by, saw Lestor run from tho house. Tho alarm waa quickly given, and in a few minutes several were on thc track of tho u gn?. As tho now t. /ead. tho crowds increased, and tc - as not long before posses composed of men from all the neighboring sections were scouring the country for tho negro. Sheriff Ashloy, Deputy Shorlff San ders and Mr. Jas. N. Pearmnn left Anderson yesterday ?morning about ll o'clock for tho scene. Thoy took bloodhounds wlrh thom. They re turned to Andorson late yesterday af ternoon, but In a short while wont back to the scene. They open I sov cral hours last night searching the homes of tho negroes in that section bul these efforts were unsuccessful. Luto lust night they started to Pied mont. From there lt was said thoy wore going to Pel ?er and William ston, where it was thought the negro had possibly fled. At 12 o'clock last n'ght tho crowds hod about dispersed, however, many of them were grouped around tuc convict camp.; Nearly all of tho men ! had been continuously searching, for J the negro, tho posses having been di-1 vlded Into thrco different squads nf j about KO each. They had thorough ly searched the country In that sec tion, bul had been unsuccessful. Somo of ?ho citizens af that section stated that the negro would bc dealt with If ho was capturod by tho men beforo tho sheriff got hold of him. LoBter's home ls in Anderson and ho was serving an 18 months sontenco on tho gang for larceny, having been -convicted in Anderson last Soptcm ber. It was thought that possibly he hui come toward this city, and. nil roads ,wcro being .watched last night. Several pcoplo of that section ure Haid to have soon the negro yester day morning-Bhortly after the crime had been committed. Ho was wear ing citlzon's clothes, and bad on a whlto hat. lt seems ttiat ho startod In tho direction of Mr. J. M. Long's place for the dogs followed him In that vicinity for somo time. Ho went up a creek and through u swamp, and finally the dogs lost tracka of him. Last night lt seemed that ho had mudo good his escapo. Somo are of the opinion that he went toward Easley and possibly got on a freight train on tho main lino of tho Southern. The crime was a bold ono. the girl's homo hoing on one of the muin roads In that section and not far from a store. - < L0S1M; EXERCISES ?ill He Held ai t'eutervlllc Srheol eu Thursday? May 4.
