ADMITS K!5 IDENTITY Located by Brother of the Slain Man, T. A. Louis Admits Who He is, and is Lodged in Spartanburg Jail,? Long Hunting for Slay. r. Nearly twenty years ago T. A. Lew is, who has been living about three miles from Greenville, killed S. J. Perry near Campcbello, and from the time of the killing, which was on Christmas clay, until last week Lewis has been a fugitive. A brother of the dead man finally locate.! the slayer, having hunted for him all these years, and Sheriff Rector of Greenville and Sheriff White of Spartan1 erg placed Lewis under arrest. Itc made no resistance and at the jail said he was the man wanted. Ho explained that lie and Perry quarreled over a girl; Perry beat him and finally he j threw a rock which struck Perry in the head, inflicting fatal wounds. Lewis said he would have given up | and stood trial long ago but was j urged by his parents to avoid this. Their importunings resulted in his keeping* out of the toii.s of the law. Lewis has a wife and five children who live with him at his home near I Greenville. | It was Christmas 1S95, that the tragedy occurred. The young man J killed was 19 years of age and so was the slayer. Lewis left the country when, nine days after the fight, Per ,i: i n> < T, . > > ry uieu. i wo or t erry s orotners, William L. Perry and E. R. Perry, searched for him. The latter gave up after a time, but the former has continued to be on the lookout. Finally he received information that Lewis resided near Greenville Tie got the si triflf of >parta iburg, the killing occurred in that county, and them, with the sheriff of Greenyi le. the two blethers went to Lewis' nemo. W. L. Perry had with hi.a the origii al warrant. Sheriff Whife h.ad sealed seven! old warranto and also Hie. bench warrant issued when a true 1 11 charging murder was wough* in against Lewis. The prisoner was quite calm and told his story, which in many ways corresponds with the story told by the Perry brothers, to the officers. He said that he had been drinking slightly and that both ho and Perry, when they started to renew the fight, reached for rocks. The Perry brothers agree that the dead brother beat Lewis, but claim that he was befriending Lewis and was trying to take him heme when the fatal wound was inflicted. The prisoner was taken to Spartan burg jail. FLO YDS TOWNSHIP ELECTION ROAD BONDS.
