When the town authorities of Bos ley omened the calaboose early Sunday morning they found the dead body of John Pinson standing stiff and rigid agaiuBt the wall. The eyes stared vacantly into space and toe features ot the dead man, contorted and ghast ly, told of a horrible death, full of agony and pain. Pinson had lived in Greenville for roany years. He was well known in police circles nod frequently figured in the mayor's court for drunkenness and disorder. Several mouths ago he had a falling out with bis wife and she and the mother-in-law together order ed him from their dwelling. Recently the man went to Eaeley in g&aroh of work. Saturday night he became drunk and disorderly and was finally arrested and locked up. When the man was placed in the guardhouse he appeared in good health, though in a stupor from the effects of alcohol. The officer who went to give him breakfast Sunday morning, ex pected to see him well sobered up, and was shocked to find the corpse mite strange, unnatural attitude. Coroner Parsons, of Pickens, was notified. He was unable to hold an in quest himself, and instructed Magis trate Jamison, of Easiey, to proceed with an investigation. The jury found that Pinson came to his death from suffocation. An examination showed that the man had in some way Bet fire to the bedding in the calaboose, which ia compactly built, as such houses usually are. The fumes and smoke filled the room and tho man was suf i located before he could make bis cries for asBiBtance beard, if be had reason enough left to realize his danger und call for aid. PinBon's clothing waBslightly scorch ed by the flames, and the physician who performed the post mortem ex amination found burne on the side of the.bead. The injury was too slight, however, to have produced death, and suffocation was pronounced the imme diate canse of death. A prominent physician from Pick enB, who passed through Easiey. yes terday morning on his way to Green 1 -tile, said that the position in which Inion's body woe f o und was the most remarkable case he had ever met with in bis experience. As a mle the body re laxes Immediately after death, and he could not acoount for the man being {band in a standing position. Easiey ls a dry town. Pinson went to Pickens Conrt House S atardsy after noon, where he visited the county disfi pensary and returned to 'Easiey with a supply pf whiskey. He hod scarcely reached the latter place before he was arrested. There was no one to claim the man's body, and it was buried yesterday morning at Easiey by the authorities. -Greenville News, Mtn inst.
