W. Rightsey, al tout miles from the town of Brunson, as a jury of inquest acted over the hloydy, buck shot- riddled corpses of t w’bwdrtte citi zens (*f Hampton Hounty, Mr. H. A. RreacheF an*J K. Netties. Mr. Rreach- t*r was a prominent citizen of Brunson and was a fitr nior hoolmate (,f Mr. Rightsey. It seems that on Thuwday previous , to the killing, Mr. I’naeher and Mr. Rightsey had some difficulty over some foodstuff claimed by a former tenant of Rightsey’s, who had moved onto Rrea* her.'s place, the provisions Jjeinft held by Rightsey for payment of claimed indebtedness of the tenant to Rightsey. Friday morning, Rightsey anticipat ing fur ther tn uble, phoned Sheriff Rightsey, who resides in Brunson, to go to his home and protect him. Soon after the arrival of the sheriff and a deputy at Rightsey’s, Preacher came up in h*.s automobile, accompa nied by Nettles and followed by two wagons evidently for the purpose of conveying the foodstuff ,n dispute. Mr ITeacher entered the yard of Mr. Rightsey, followed by Nettles and when within about three paces of the steps of the house, Mr. Rightsey is said to have fired from a front window both barrels of a shotgun loaded with buckshot into -he laxly of Preacher. Then, stepping to the front porch, he fired two loads of buckshot into the boily of Nettles, who was at a greater distance away, and near the gate. Nettles is survived by his wife and several small children and Preacher by his wife and three small children, an aged father, with whom he lived and two brothers, all of prominence and means. Mr. Rightsey is one of the most pros perous farmers of the community. The jury of inquest failed to reach a verdict and adjourned to meet again Monday next. Mr. Rightsey, on the advice of conn- sel, surrendered himself to Sheriff Rightsey. ♦ ng, .R \V. Frowning, Jr . Kellv Rrovvn- w 1! » \ ter,-i ; t ..ii 1 <* V* a 1' pToV !ded V . Hi i ng, H, R. Rui -t.
