Death ot Convicted Prisoner in Laurens. The Crime. to The State. Laurens, Sept 23.?John .Johnson, colored, the murderer of Dan .Johnson, also colored, is now no more. Last night about 3 o'clock his soul wended its way from his durk, dismal dungeon. The gallows has been, therefore, cheated, and that only three days before it would have claimed him as its victim. His death was the result of a fever contracted some weeks ago. A resume of the crime whereof he stood convicted and the events since his trial will i?e of interest. Something over two years ago .John Johnson killed his fellow citizen, Dan Johnson, over a few cents iti change that he alleged Dun owed him for the use of a box of blacking that belonged to him (John .Johnson.) Both negroes were employed at the Clinton hotel, near which the crime was committed. One was porter, the other assistant in the hotel barber shop. # John Johnson wanted Dan to sottlo for the use of his blacking in money. Don would not agree to such a proposition, but he proposed, in lieu thereof, to replace that which he had used with an equal amount of the same article. One word brought on another till each had exhausted his vocabulary of expletives but no settlement came. Dan, saying that he did not want to have any trouble, walked away. Ilut by this time John wis somewhat enraged, and, rushing into a barber shop, be picked up a raxor and set out on his bloody mission. He soon came up with Dan, and without any word* cut hii throat from ear to ear. The town 1. _ I ? - i - ' umrsimi arrived on me scene and arreste<l John. Thi wa? the be ginning of his imprisonment, which his discaso terminated this morning. His ease was tried at the noxl term of court of genera! sessions, and he was convicted and sen tenced to !>e hanged. His utterneys, Ferguson and Featherstone, carried tho case to the supreme court, which sustained the decision of the lower co irt. Accordingly, he was sentenced at the next term of the court of sessions. In the meanwhile, several pe titions were presented to the governor prayiorg for life imprisonment, signed by eight of the juiors that sat on his case and the leading prosecuting witnesses. Governor Filer!**, therefore, granted him a respite in order tt have time to consider these j>e titions. He was to have been hanged this morning, hut by his deutli the gallows is cheated. / Am CasertBin Dimw There is no disease mora uncertain in ite nature than ?iy*pop*ia.
