Edgefield, May 21.?At 9 o'clock last night, at this place, within 20 feet of Macedonia Negro church, where a meeting was going on, Ed Brooks, a Negro man, shot and instantly killed his wife, Macy, the weapon used being a pistol, and the ball taking effect in her head. As soon as the alarm was given the Negroes rushed from the building and on ascertaining what had transpired there was a cry of lynch him, and the chances are Brooks would have met with a summary death had he not been hurried off to jail. It appears from the testimony taken at the coroner's inquest that Brooks had threatened the life of his wife the day before because she ret used to carry out some command of his. A witness testilied that just previous to the shooting Brooks said to his wife, " you, you won't do so no more." Brooks claims that, the shooting was accidental, but the testimony points to r, deliberate murder. Two years ago Brooks killed John Williams, an old Negro man, but upon trial was acquitted.?News <& Courier. Beware of a Cough.
