The dead bodies of Guy Rogers and Prentiss Moore were found Saturday morning about ten o'clock. The two boys left their home in lJennettsville early Thursday morning for a hunting trip. They went to Gardner's Hluff. hitched their horse and buggy and nothing definite could be learned of their whereabouts until the bodies wore found. Prentiss Moore, aged 11, the sou of Mrs. Emily E. Moore, was found lying on the south side of a branch """about fire feet detp. His feet were toward the l?ettom of the branch and he clutched a briar between his fingers. Examination showed that the load from a Bhotgun had entered the side near the edge of the shoulder blade and ranged toward the middle of the chest, passing through the lHidy. The entire load, shot and wad, was lying underneath his clothes in front of the chest. Guy Rogers, aged 15. son of NT. R. Rogers, county treasurer, was found In the bottom of the branch, only a few feet from the body of little Moore. His face was turned to the ground; his body was nearly In a knetling position, with the head In the edge of the water in a puddle of blood. He, too, was wounded with a shotgun, the load entering directly Into the heart from tho front, passing through tho chest, shattering tho ribs on the back side, some shot burying themselves In the skin In the back. One wad, that between the powder and shot, was found inside the shirt near the wound. Tho wound In young Roger's body ranged slightly down from the front. A double balrelled shotgun was found on the brink of the branch, the muzzle slightly elevated, pointing towar^ tho ditch, one trigger cocked and in the breech was caught a small part of the shirt of young Rogers. One barrel, tho one with the cocked trigger, was found empty; the second barrel contained an empty shell. Another empty shell was found within a few inches of the muzzle of the The branch runs through a broad field. An overgrown hedge covered > 4 the banks of the branch, which is about five feet deep and about six* feet wide at the top. Within about jJSHkSw yards is a negro cabin. An old negro woman who lives there said that she saw the boys out there shooting, hut that she paid no attention to them and knew nothing of their disappearnace. Within half a mile away there are three other nouses. i ne point wtiere the boys hitched their horse was about a quarter of a mile of where their bodies were found. Thursday night and Friday morning searching parties were out looking for th? boys. The party was increased largely Friday night and with lanterns the entire swamp on this side of the river was carefully searched. A party was again formed Saturday morning, many who had been out all night renewing the search, which was begun at the place where the hoys were last seen, with the understanding that it was to spread gradually and take in every foot of the ground. The portion of ground where the hoys were found was assigned to a party among whom were Frank Crosland and W. C. Carlisle. Mr. Crosland was riding horseback up th? branch when he saw the body of young Moore. The bodies remained as they were found until the coroner empaneled his Jury, when they were moved and an examination made by Dr. W. J. Crosland. The Jury made a thorough examination and took the testimony of every one in the immediate vicinity. It is practically impossible to harmonize facts with the theory of accident, yet nothing has developed to point conclusively to the theory of murder. CJl Ill I ^ * nimi mill .'liHMii lU'lll.
