Coker Farm TRAGEDY ON THE STREETS Believed to be Result of Some Person- t al Difficulty Unknown to the Public " Hartsville, March 17.- Hartsville was saddened and shocked today when the news of an awful tragedy was broken on the Sabbath stillness. Chief of Police John 0. Folsom was shot and instantly killed on the street near the building in which is located the of fice of the Pedigreed Seed Company. The slayer, J. H. Gulledge, overseer of the farms of J. L. Coker Co., made a confession and surrendered himself in to the hands of the authorities, and was taken to Darlington and turned over to Sheriff Register. The killing occurred between 9:30 and 10 o'clock this morning and, as there is little passing on Sunday on the street on which the tragedy oc curred, nothing is known as to what happened or what words were passed between the two ml-m prior to the shooting. Took Automobile Ride it appears that Mr. Gulledge met up with Chief Folsom at the fice de partment headquarters and that the two rode off together in the chief's car. Parties had seen them - passing just a few minutes prior to the kill ing. Some personal trouble, unknown to the public, it is thought, must be .responsible for the difficulty. The body of Mr. Folsom was found on the ground, face lown, by the au tomobile. The door of the car was open. It is not stated whether the fatal shots were fired while Mr. Fol som was at his steering wheel or as he was alighting from the car. Par ties hearing the shots, it is claimed, stated that there were four shots fired at close range. On going to the scene they found life extinct. Inquest Held The body was removed to within the Pedigreed Seed Company's build. ing and the inquest was held, begin ning at 12:30. Mr. Folsom was elected chief of po lice several ronths ago, to succeed R. H. Kirkpatrick, deceased, and was generally liked. Mr. Gulledge came here a few years ago from Pageland and has been employed by J. L. Coker & Co. as an overseer, under C. H. El lis, general superintend:mnt of farms. On the removal of Mr. Ellis to Geor gia Mr. Gulledge had his responsibili ties increased. le was quiet and well liked by his employers. The tragedy is much deplored.
