A D® -perate Duvit's Diabolical Deed
Special to the Greenville Daily News.
CoLUM in A, S. C., March 12—A
specimvn of genuine diabolism eame
to light this morning in the shape of
a horrible murder and attempted in-
cendiaryism ihai for devil.sh deliber
ation and inhuman cruelty is rarely,
it ever, surpassed.
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.
