Saturday, March 25, 1905, was pay day at the mill and Perry's account was deducted by Boozer in the settle ment. Perry went to the store the following Monday afternoon and claimed in a boisterous manner, ac companied by unnecessary tlreats, that ho did not owe the amount charged against him. He attempted to draw the sales man into a personal dimeulty and in vited him to come out, of the store, saying lie wanted to "fight it out." Boozer refused to go outside, say ing the matter had been rightly set tled. Perry walked out and later return ed to the store and immediately upon entering the building opened fire on Boozer. Two shots were fired, the second taking effect near the heart and causing almost instant death. Coroner Leekie empaneled a jury of inquest. Three eye-witnesses to the killing testified to the facts as above stated. In the excitement which followed Perry made his escape and has nev er been heard of by the South Car olina. authorities until the news con tained in the above (tispatch from Bell ingham, Wash., was received. Boozer was from Laurens county and was a man of excellent character, quiet and inoffensive, well esteemed and reliable in his business transac tions. $1,000 Reward for Perry. Gov. Heyward offered. $400 for the arrest and conviction of Perry, to which was added the offer of an ad ditional reward of $600 by Mr. D. L. Boozer of Kinards, father of the murdered boy. An unusual feature of this case was the 'offer by Mr. D. L. Boozer of an additional reward of $1000 to be paid to the slayer of Perry if lie should be killed in an attempt to effect his cAptuire.
