St. Matthews, Jan. 13.?Abie, the 9-year-old son of S. Savitz, was run down and instantly killed here this afternoon about 4 o'clock by F. L. Wienges's automobile. The accident occurred near the railway station. Mr. Wienges was on his way home, being accompanied by his children. Mr. Wienges states that just as he was passing near the power house the child suddenly emerged from oenina a wagon. He made an effort to swerve his car but he was so close upon the child that it was impossible to clear him, whether he struck the child or ran over him Mr. Wienges says he does not know. The impact of the car seems to have been about the head and face. The child was immediately taken into the car and hurried up town to medical aid but upon examination it was found that death had followed closely upon the wound. From all particulars it appears that the killing was purely accidental. Mr. Wienges is an expert driver. He is greatly downcast on account of the tragedy. The remains were taken to Charleston tonight for interment in the Jewish cemetery. THRILLING RIDE IN THE DARK. Passenger Hung to Vestibule by His Arms for 30 Minutes.
