C., Nov. lib?A| special to The State, from (iroonville, S. C., says: Weaver Smith, ! a little white hov lioi'smr. was most foully murdered Thursday night In the heart of town and the j mutilated body was not found until nearly 24 hours later. \ more! horrible erime than murder had j preceded the butchery of the bo\ | and the tiend incarnate who did j the deed is unknown. A long gash in the boy's stomach caused his death and the entrails were protruding from the body. Weaver Smith was about S years old and was a notorious beggar around town, having a skilfully 1 ,, I i worded story of distress. W hen I ^ lust seen by citizens he was at the j bouse of J. S. Uiser, sexton of j Springwood cemetery Main street, by whom he was given j some food about 7 o'clock Wednesday night. From there he | I went towards the first brigade) camp, on the same street. He! secured some money and food j there and visited the Fourth New Jersey Regiment last. Late yesterday afternoon, a negro won an discovered the boy | lying among weeds on El ford I street, which is u side street, one] block north of the Confederate j monument. The boy was lying | on the south sidewalk, which is rarely used. When discovered | he lay on his face, and, on being turned over, the cut in the stomach ' was revealed. The physicians j found unmistakable evidence of a more fiendish crime committed ! before death and the boy was doubtlessly killed to prevent its discovery. Tw o New York soldiers com , ing iroin camp 10 lown, inursday night, heard cries on Elford street and approaching found another soldier, unknown to thom with a hoy, who, the soldier claimed, had lost his way. The unknown soldier's coin nand is not known and the New York j soldiers left him standing near the child. It is believed the boy was Weaver Smith and the soldier his assailant and murderer. The crime has aroused the greatest in dignation among citizens, and soldiers and if the eruilty man is caught and proves to bo a soldier, his comrades will endeavor to make short work of him.
