Inquests Held In
Death Of Two Boys
Laurens—Coroner’s juries ruled
here Tuesday that two youths,
who died mysteriously a month
ago. came to their deaths by
natural causes.
Separate injuests resulting in
the same findings were conducted
at the court house here for Ma
rion T. Young, 13. and his 15-
year-old brother, John H Young,
both Negroes,
A physician. Dr R. M. Fuller
ol Clinton, told the inquest panels
that the youths apparently died
from an overwhelming infection
of the colon.
Summarizing an autopsy re
port. he said the disease was
caused by a type of dysentery
which spread throughout the
blood strea mand to other or
gans of the body.
The doctor told a reporter be
fore the proceedings began that
the dysentery was of the type
usually found in contaminated
water
He said at the inquest that the
boy’s family had been informed
that their sons had been seen
drinking from a stream at Lake
side Country Club.
Marion died on February 1 at a
Clinton hospital and his brother
succumbed two days later. An
autopsy was oredered following
the death of the younger boy,
the doctor explained, so he might
have something to go on in treat
ing his brother
Neither of the youths had re
sponded to previous treatment,
he said.
Coroner Marshall Pressley
pointed out that the delay in hold
ing the inquests was because of
the five to seven-week period nec
essary to obtain a complete au
topsy.
No spectators, not even the
boys' parents, Robert and Annie
Young, of Rt. 2. Laurens, were
present at the inquiries

Thursday.
A coroner’s Jury viewed the
body, but Coroner Pressley indi
cated an inquest would not be
held unless the family requested
it.
Several other boat crews aid
ing in the dragging were taking
a lunch break at the time of the
discovery.

County, a son of Ernest Riser and
the late Elizabeth Cooper Riser.
