Fred Rast, 62, a prominent farmer, was idiot and killed by a negro yesterday as he went to a barn on his farm near here to milk his cows. After an all-day manhunt,' Henry (Buck) Fields, young negro, was captured .by a' neighboring farmer, identified by a ,son of Rast as the slayer and hurried out of Swansea by Sheriff H. Cromer Oswald, of Lexington county, to avoid possible violence. "He's the man," said Billy Rast, 13, as he confronted the negro at the Swansea jail. vBilly, with a nine-year] old brother, Frederick, and a fouryear old sister, Carolyn, who had gone with their father to the cow shed, hatl witnessed the slaying. Sheriff Oswald, who with the aid I of a posse and bloodhounds was pressing a search in another part of the county, was promptly notified, but before he arrived between 200 and 300 persons hud gathered around the town jail. Upon his arrival Sheriff Oswald appealed to the crowd that "law and drder prevail." The widow of the slain man, he announced, had asked him to urge that "the course of the law be followed." The crowd then stood by quietly as the sheriff left with the prisoner to place him in the county jail at Lexington. Magistrate' Martin said suspicion wa$ directed at Fields, 'because the negro, who had occupied a house owned by Rast, had a quarrel with the farmer about a week ago over payment of rent. >> Wallace Williams, who lives about three miles from the Rast home, came ujion Fields on a highway shortly before sundown, and brought Rim tp.the jail here. Magistrate Martin said the negro had "nothing to here. After he had placed the negro the county jail, Sheriff Oswald said at Lexington tonight, however, that Fields denied having anything to do with the slaying. O A graphic story of how fie and his small brother and sister fell down screaming when their father was slain with n load of buckshot was told by thirteen-year-old Billy Rast.
