If newspapci* accounts are to he"
helieved, twp such cases occurred in
Beaufort Countv during the past week
In the first instance, several officers,
headed by a Federal officer, made a
raid xrrV a small fishing launch whose
owner, they claim, was suspected of
illegfri liquor operations. They allegV
that the man f red a shot at them
from a Winchester rifle, whereupon
the Federal officer shot, him to death.
At the coroner’s inquest he claimed
immunity from arrest except at th<‘
hands of a United States marshal.
People in the community in which the
homicide occurred say that the dead
man bore a good reputation and a
search f his launch disclosed only a
small quantity of liquor in a bottle.
The officer, of course, will set up a
claim that* the man .resisted arrest
and he firedOnly in Solf-dedeusc;^. ^
A few -days later, a marine corp
oral from Parris Island was shot to
death.at Port Royal by the town pol
iceman. "WHiutsses' to this, tragedy
state that the mai irO^was being held
by another man deputized to help
make the arresftwhen the fatal shot
was filed and that even after he was
mortally Wounded, the policeman
struck him in the face with the butt
end of his pistol. The . police matt
claims that the marine, had made a
motion towards liis pocket a
to draw a weapon.

to kill -the men in defense-of their

Says The Philadelphia Inquirer:
