AIKEN CITY POLICEIAN SLAIN
Wade Patterson Victim of James
Seigler's Gun.-Town Shocked
by News.
Aiken, Nov. 17.-One of the most
unfortunate and -deplorable tragedies
i the history of Aiken occurred here
this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, when Mr.
James Seigler shot and instantly kil!
ed Officer Wade Patterson, one of the
oldest and most valued members of
the police force of this city.
The story centres around a dog be
longing to the dead policeman. It
seems that Mr. Seigler had been play
ing with the dog, when the animal
beca-me enraged and bit, or attempted
to bite, Mr. Seigler, whereupon the
latter became incensed and kicked
the dog. This drew a warning rebuke
from Officer Patterson, who reminded
Mr. Seigler that he had trifled with
the animal. Mr. Seigler, it is said,
replied to the warning by cursing sev
eral times and the officer threatened
kim with arrest.
Trouble Renewed in Store.
This seems to oave closed the in
cident. The two men then separated,
Mr. Seigler walking into the store of
Mr. John Overstreet, entering through
the side door from Park avenue. Of
ficer Patterson walked to the Main
street entrance of the same store,
where the difficulty was renewed.
Words passed, which, it seems, pro
voked considerable profanity from Mr.
Seigler, and for this Mr. Patterson ar
rested him. Mr. Seigler immediately
offered bond, for his appearannee and
Mr. Patterson accepted the bond of
$5.
The Fatal Shot-,.
~ The report goes that Seigler hand
ed Patterson a five-dollar bill, and
without further words pulled from
his pocket a 32calibre automatic re
volver and fired four or five shots
into the breast of the officer, produc
ing instantaneous death.
Bystanders - rushed up and found
Officer Patterson still clutching the
money and his revolver securely fas
tened in its holster. the barrel point
ing upwards.
Mr. Seigler was arrested by Rural
Policeman Holley, who was one of
the eyewitnesses, and taken to the
jail.
Mr. Seigler is one of the prominent
men of the county, being a son of the
late Capt. A. S. Seigler, and has a
host of friends wh,. de.eply regret the
s hoo-.ng.
Held in Esteem.
Officer Patterson came from Edge
field to Aiken about thirty-five years
ago and has almost continuously
since been a member of the Aiken
police force. He was recognized as
one of the best and most conscientious
officers on the force, and was a man
wholly and altogether void of any
fear, being a't all times cool and re
sourceful, and his untimely death has
cast a gloom over the city that he has
guarded so long and well during the
dark hours. He leaves a wife and five
children.
