The shooting took place at 10 o'clock this morning and by noon the townspeople were possessed of their accustomed calm, a seemingly deadly calm -which foretold a determination to wipe out the stain which had unwittingly fallen upon trem by bringing to speendy justice those responsible. TTie people here did not underj stand the necessity for calling out j the military compan}*, but that brave j body of men under Capt. J. B. Doty ! responded promptly when orders came 11 UXU Lviuiiiuia, They escorted Sheriff Hood and the two wounded deputies to the special train, which took them to Columbia,1 for there l ad been some idle talk that J , more shooting was imminent. Tne I company dispersed, for there was j I nothing for them to do. The townsI people were amazed when two auto-; i . : i mobiles, carrying 4,sou rounds or rine; ! ammunition and 700 rounds of pistol ! ammunition, raced in from Columbia. The detail, which brought the ammu-! nition was commanded by Adjt. Gen. J. Sharpter Caldwell, for the report fad been sent to Columbia that t/he company here was without ammuni-j tion. The cars were guarded by a detail of men hastily enlisted in Co-1 lambia and the run from the capital j city here was made in record time.! The detail returned to Columbia when j they found the situation here "was j quiet. Several automobiles came from j Columbia, but the 'excitement faerej lasted less than an frour; in fact, as; one citizen said, it was all over be-! fore anyone knew what was going on. j They best described it as "sounding like the popping of firecrackers." j Court was to have convened here this, morning, but after the tragedy it did, not assemble until 3 o'clock this af-j ternoon. There was an air of unusual. solemnity pervading the court room, j on ^ TnrIor/\ Nl cart o ri a o 11 i anu. %j ft iioviL emu tiic: juiv/io j reflected toe gravity of the situation: by tfteir actions and demeanor. The j atmosphere impressed one with the feeling that those responsible for the ' tragedy were going to be held to "strict accountability." ''Assassination," Says Conrt. "The blood-stained portals of this temple of justice cry aloud for the! vindication of the majesty of the law,", said Judge Jofrn S. Wilson in his vig-j orous charge to the Fairfield grand j jury this afternoon, in winch he de-! aounced the shooting of Sheriff Hoodj and his. deputies as "assassination" and called on the jury to make a thorough and sweeping investigation and to bring every , one connected with the norriDie aaair to justice. "It is your duty," said Judge Wilson, j "to act and to act in suci a manner as to vindicate the law wiMch has: been so greatly outraged this day." Calling attention to the fact that-he first presided as Judge in Winnsboro in September, 1907, Judge Wilson re-: called the glorious history of Fairfield county, "a county known for the manhood of its men and the purity of its women, a couniy wnere law ana ujuci reigned, but whic: this day has been out: aged. Did t is happen on the borders of Arizona? Did this happen in , Mexico? No, it happened in old his-j] toric Winnsboro," continued the judge. |: "vVihat man is there whose blood : ioes not boil when he hears of tr.e j1 ?rime of which this poor wretcn stood ' iccused?" Judge Wilson asked, adding :hat he had been informed that the j 1 : ] legro had confessed and that every- j hine was in readiness to give nim a j< 'air and impartial trial, and that the !1 aw would have been r, indicated and ' ; ( ustice done. He said tJ .at men should i control themselves in such circum-j' stances, "but this morning men gave 11 rent to their passions and took the 11 aw into their own hands, and with i( ' J vhat result? Your sheriff lies hover- ! 1 / ng between life and death. The ' iegro is dead, Several deputies are ( >adly wounded. Talk about Mexico? i' Iere at the door of this court r.ouse ! awlessness reigns. It ought to shake the State of South Carolina from ?entre to circumference," emphatically 1 ieclared Judge Wilson. Tribute to Sheriff. < The judge paid a glowing tribute to :he brave sheriff wino risked his life in . Lhe performance of his duty. "A man ! ( witi'.out a drop of coward's blood in 1 bis veins and a man whom I delight to | honor; I wish eve^y sheriff in South j Carolina was like hioi. and that we ;, had thousands of sr.ch citizens," stated : Judge Wilson, vho praised the brav-|, ery, the devotion to duty and ti:e ac-1 tion of Sheriff H; od, and called on ; the grand jury to bring the ones "guilty of -this horrit'e crime" to jus- ! tice. Solicitor J. K. Henry was equally ^ emphatic in his denunciation of the . occurrence, and took immediate steps j to begin a vigorous prosecution of the guilty parties. The Matter was taken in ftand by the grand jury and an immediate investigation was begun. Coroner Smith empanelled a jury and, after viewing the remains of tI3e dead negro, adjourned the inquest until a later date. It is hardly probable that the coroner's jury will maxe .much of an investigation, because the ' grand jury, being is session, will handle the whole matter. I j Late this afternoon Ernest isenhower and Jesse Morrison were arrested, charged witn participatiag in the snooting, and "both were lodged in jail. It is understood that warrants Shave been issued for others and more I arrests are expected to follow. CLYDE ISENHOWEB DEAD MAKING THIRD Y1CTIM (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3.) j During the examination of twenty or more witnesses by the coroner's jury to inquire into the death of Sheriff Hood, t^.ese alleged facts were brought out: Clyde Isenhower fired tJ":e first shot Raleigh Boulware, rural policeman, was wounded by the final shot of the : fusillade by Ernest Isenhower! Two doctors testified that the sheriff received three wounds in toe stomach; that it was uncertain whether Jesse Morrison did any shooting at all. Coroner E. F. Smith adjourned the inquest until the second Monday in j July, the 12th, when a full investiga-j tion of the affair will be made. J. E. j Coanwns foreman of the jury. Sketch of Dead Officer. Sheriff A. D. Hood, who lost foi6 life in the court house tragedy here yesterday, was born in Fairfield county, near Blythewood, June 26, 1868. At 12 years of age he was left an orphan, being adopted by iMr. W. J. Crawford. He first accepted a position witihi the county chain gang. A few years later he was elected supervisor, wThich office he held for two terms. In 1904 foe| r. aw f "hie rvffinnl rv V.UUSCU .livr.! vi i ?1 luig W>>4VV for eleven years. In December, 1908, he was married to Miss Bessie Broom, who survives him. He was 47 years old. With the death of Sheriff Hood Fairfield county lost its most efficient officer and the State a valuable and useful citizen. HORROR OF TRAGEDY GROWS WITH TIME (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3.) courage to the end prove the heroic mould out of which Sheriff Hood was built. Judge Wilson expressed the general opinion wuen he said of him "would that every sheriff in Souti'a Carolina were like him and that we had thousands of such citizens." The dead sneriff is survived by his wife and thousands of friends, for there has never been, a more, popular public ofjficial in. Fairfield county. He filled the office faithfully and well for over ten years, giving up (his life, as Ihe had spent it, for his people and his 'State, in the cause of good government, a sacrifice to the'cause bf law and order.

None 0] flinched, but all seconded the action of tc their leader and fired on the mob and fc upheld the law. Clyde Isenhower, the leader of the ittac-k, displayed wonderful courage, for after being literally filled with ? jullets i e staggered into the sheriff's ^ office and had reloaded ' is gun when le fell. He lay several hours on a lard board under the trees in the ' 20urt house vard and never once let I groan escape ms ups. rus eve Jitrvc* | lost its brightness and he was self- ! possessed all through the trying orieal. He was placed on the nortn- a! Dound Southern train and taken to fc tester and spent several hours un- Sl ler the surgeon's knife. Isenhower ippeared to be about 40 years of age. May Lose Arm. Deputy Sheriff Earle Stevenson may c< hate to lose his left arm. He bled so fi much yesterday that his doctor had to t^s apply emergency measures to stop the How of blood. He, too, displayed won- "3 3erful courage and never complained, ei The people of Winnsboro feel that a ol stain f:as been put on their town and no county and they are going to bring a' those responsible to justice.
