Arrest Kollows Tragedy Which Grow Out of Dispute Over Account. Branchville, Dec. 15.-Abe Reali st im-, one of the most prominent young business men of Branchville, this morning was shot and killed by .lohn J. Jones, a well known attorney of this place. The killing, which oc curred In the post ellice at 0.45, fol lowed a list Icu ff arising out of a dis pute regarding an account which Jones, it is said, had collected from Pearlstine, bul had not turned In to the linn which had employed him to make the collection. Jones was ar rested and taken to Orangeburg, where ho ls now in the custody of the sheriff. About 9.45 o'clock Mr. Peartsttne went to the post oftlce, While he was in the lobby ot the ellice Jones walked in. Pearls!?ne handed Jones n paper which, it is understood, was un account Jones had collected from Pearlstille for some foreign mercan tile establishment to the amount of $37.80, receipted for in full by Jones, bul never turned over to the credit ors, as Pearlsline alleged. Pearl stine, it seems, was endeavoring to got this straight. Jones refused and Pearlstino struck -Iones with his list. Several blows were passed. J. Marion Dy rd, the postmaster, hearing tin? noise, rush ed out into tho lobby, separating tho belligerents and asking thom not to light in the presence of his wife. Mr. Penrlstlne apologized to Mr. Byrd, ?ind while assuring him that he was very sorry for what had already hap pened, Jones, who passed by the two and was apparently leaving the post ?nico, stopped just inside of the door, whirled, drew a pistol from his hip-pocket, slipped the gun out of a shield, and tired al Mr. Pearlstine, who was still conversing with Mr. Byrd. The ball struck Pearlstine in the abdomen, and he reeled against the door leading into tho postmaster's private office, and a moment later foll backward mi the door, where he breathed his last le.is than five min utes after the fatal shot. Another Account. 'Orangeburg. Dec. 15.-J. J. Jones, n lawyer, shot and killed Abe Pearl stine, a merchant, at Branchville, at 10 o'clock this morning. Jones came biue on the next train and gave him self up. An old grudge existed between the two men, who are prominent Branch ville residents. They met. in front ?of the Branchville post office and angry words brought on a light. Jones claims Pearlstine was beat ing him with brass knucks, and that he fired In self-defense.
