A D® -perate Duvit's Diabolical Deed Special to the Greenville Daily News. CoLUM in A, S.

The fell deed occurred at 7:30 la*t right at the Br ud river bridge, two miles Iront this eity Adam Butt', the gatekeeper at ti e bridge, was failed to the door by a negro who talked to him for a few minutes and then suddenly struck him a terrible blow ou the head with a heavy club. The negro then en tered tiie house, threw Mrs. Buff, an aged lady, up >11 the fl >or and tramp led upon her. He robbed the money box of its contents, and set fire to the house ami would probably have burnt up his victim bin tor the timely arri val of Win. Kraft who was passing and who was attracted by the flames issuing from the windows. An investigation ensuede and another ghastly find was made—that of the dead body of Jack Fenton, a negro farmer living near by. It was found, with the bruin oozing fmm a lode iu the skull, about forty yards from the house. Mr. Huff, who is 74 years of age. is iu aiiymg condition. When found by Mr. Kraft be made the latter ini mediately write on paper that JacX Fenton, William Johnson, white, ami a negro named Brown were the Iasi men lie had seen. On this statement Johnson was arrested. Brown is evidently the murderer, but cannot be found. Tuese are but meagre detail® of one of th© most horrible crimes ever com mitted iu thii community. J. W.
