Heavy Bonds Bet On Occupants
Car For Death Of John N.
Lipscomb.
Greenwood, July 14.—Five young
white men, employees of cotton mills
at South Greenwood, who were held
responsible by a coroner’s jury today
for the death of John N. Lipscomb
aged 69, prominent farmer and mer
chant of the Ninety-Six section, yes
terday afternoon when he was struck
by a car occupied by them, were bound
over to general sessions court this af
ternoon under bonds fixed by circuit
Judge C. C. Featherstone and were
released from jail.
The bond of Fred Landreth, driver
of the Ford automobile which killed
Mr. Lipscomb, was fixed at $2,000 and
that of F. W. Carr, J. T. Ellison, P.
L. Bailey and E. L. Thompson, other
occupants of the car, at 1,000 each.
Solicitor Homer S. Blackwell, who
attended the inquest at the request of
relatives of Mr. Lipscomb, examined
witnesses for the coroner, while Lloyd
B. Harrison conducted the cross-ex
amination for the defendants. W. H
NjchoUon also w«s .present as attor-
ney for Lipscomb family.
Testimony showed that the car was
being driven at 35 to 40 miles an hour
at the time of the accident, that the
driver did not blow his horif, that no
attempt was made to slacken the
speed of the car or to avoid striking
Mr. Lipscomb, who was walking
across the road in front of his home,
and that all .of the defendants had
had "several drinks.”
Mr. LipscotAb was in the middle of
the road, according tq the testimony
of G. T. Calhoun, an eye-witness who
warned him of the approaching car
and said there was nothing to obstruct
the view of thbse in the ,Ford. The
car knocked Mr. Lipscomb down, other
eye-witnesses stated, dragged him
about 55 feet, ran over his body afid
then went several feet farther before
it was stopped. Landreth, the only
one who remained in the car, said
OFFICER KILLED
IN LIQUOR RAH)
Chesterfield Man Dies of In)nry At
-Hands of Bootleggers, Who
. Got Into Machine.
Chesterfield, July 14—H. B. Graves,
rural policeman, died at the hospital
here about 2 o’clock this morning
from injuries alleged to have been
received at the hands of three men
held in the jail here when the officer
attempted to raid their automobile,
which is supposed to have been carry-,
ing liquor.
A white man, Tom Phillips, and two
negroes, Doug Brewer and Brutus

crime.
According to Sheriff Grant, a party
of officers was in pursuit of the al
leged 'rum running car early yester

land in, the extreme northern part of
the county at about 2 o’clock in the
morning. Mr. Graves is said to have
gotten into the supposed bootleggers’
car to remove the liquor said to be
within and {o have become tangled in
the contents of the machine. The
meo_sUrted up thqnr machine and,.
drove into the country, where the of
ficer was struck in the head and
thrown from the machine. The car
was later overtaken and the men ar
rested and brought to Chesterfield by
sherifTs officers.
Mr. Graves was brought to the hos
pital here and lived until early this
morning, when he died.

Ain’t It the Tri|th?
M I can’t stand it, let me go on,” J. 1 Don’t laugh at Lo, the poor Indian,
L. Calhoun testified. And Sam H.
Sherard, son-in-law of the injured
man, testified that he saw one of the
men throw two fruit jars out of the
car. One broke as it fell and the
other was "stamped on until it was
smashed into small pieces.” Mr. Sher
ard testified further that when a
daughter of Mr. Lipscomb asked one
of the gien to assist in carrying her
fathgr inQ> the home he replied,
“You'll have to excuse me, I’m too
drunk.” None of the men offered as
sistance, other witnesses stated.
G. T. Calhoun, under cross-exami
nation, said that if Mr. Lipscomb had
“been looking down the road he could
have got out of the way.” None of
the witnessed testified to having seen
any liquor but all stated positively
that they “smelled it.”
