Death in His Bed. Paul K.

the Crime.

Rock Hill, Sept. 15.?A terri
>lo tragedy, behind which it is
upposed there lies a scandal,
vas enacted here this morning at
ibout 1:30 o'clock. Air. 11. A.
Irown (Harry Brown) the well:nown
painter, was shot twice
vhile in his bed at his home,
rhe deed was done by a wellIressod
man who called up Mr.
Irown's brother in law, Mr. Neel,
ind asked to see Brown about
ome painting. When the door
vas opened and Mr. Neel started
>ack to wake Brown the man
ollowed him in and as soon as
le caught sight of his victim,
uslied up and at close range
ired two balls into him. The
irst shot struck in the side and
anging down lodged in the bowls.
The second shot was diverted
>y Mr Neel, who caught the asastin's
arm and disarranged his
lim. This shot shattered Brown's
rm. The man then rushed out,
umped into the waiting carriage
tid was driven rapidly away.
There was another white man in
he carriage. Brown died at G
1'clock this morning.
Brown was an Englishman
idiose family is good. Ilis brothirs
are artists of ability and have
or 20 or more years been con
lected with *the "Uraphic,"
Black and White" and other
ligh class journals. Twelve years
igo he married Miss .Jennie Neel

survives him.
The inquest was begun today.
U ihe adjournment no direct
vidence aa to identity of Brown's
layer had come out. Thecircum
tantial evidence was sucli that
Acting Coroner Beckham 'phoned
he sheriff at Yorkville and oriercd
the arrest ol Mr. Paul 11.
*ratton and a colored driver
tamed Will Caldwell. It can.e
?ut that Thursday night Brown
lad been in Yorkville and while
here had dillicully with Paul
$ratton's brother, John S. Brat
on. This morning at 1 o'clock
'aul Bratton came across the
ountry in a closed surry, driven
>y Caldwell, and upon reaching
icre made inquiry lor Brown's
esidence. (Jaldwell also said Mr.
Iratton came to see Painter
Irown and that ho uhad to see
lim tonight." The carriage con
aining Mr. Bratton and another
nan, whose identity has not been
tscertained, drove rapidly in the
lirection of Brown's residence
ibout the time ot the shooting
tnd in a halt hour or less return
id and drove rapidly away from

vitness who had talked with Mr.
Sratton and knew him, also saw

lized it as the same and the

The coroner adjourned the in
[uest until tomorrow at 10

ividenco ot the colored driver,
Jaldwell. In Brown's ante mor
em statement he said the shootng
wa6 done by one ot' three
nen, viz : Amry Crockett, dale
>r Bratton himself. (Evidently
eferiing to ,Jno. 8. Bratton with
vhopi it is understood he had a
lifficultv Thursday night). Later
itter those in the room had
ipokt n of I'aul Bratton being in
own, Brown was asked three
imes if Paul Bratton shot him.
fiach time he made a sound conlidered
by the witnesses as being
in affirmative answer. Mr. Nee),

Rock Ilill, Septemhei 16.?
The inquest over the body of
H. A. Brown was resumed this
morning at 10 o'clock. Will
Caldwell, the negro who was
identified as the driver from
Yorkville, was sworn. Tie swore
that the two men whom he
drove from Yorkville were Paul
Bratton and John S. Bratton,
that lie drove the carriage to
several places in Rock Hill in
search of Brown's residence.
When they found Brown's house
the carriage was stopped about
one nundred yards from the
house. The two Brat tons went
in. In about ten minutes he
heard "two shots." The men
then came hack. When asked
if anything was said by either
of the Messrs. Brattons, witness
said: "Mr. Johnnie said
he had shot Brown." This
statement was repeated. The
matter was left to the jury, and
they returnod a verdict in about
half an hour. This was that
"H. A. Brown came to his
death by a pistol shot from the
hands of Paul R. Bratton and
that John S. Bratton was accessory
thereto."
The jury was composed of the
following men : C W. Frew,
foreman ; J. M. HcFadden, S.

i difer. It is evident from th?
verdict that the jury belioved
that the two Brattons commit
ted the deed, but that they did
not beliove the negro's state
inent as to what John S. Brat
ton said, or believed that statement
to have been made to mis
lead the negro, who being or
the spot would be an important
witness. Caldwell .Jso denied
having made the statement
- sworn to by Policeman Jonkim
near the Carolina Hotel not
long before the killing Mr,
Neel's evidence as to the appearance
of the man who did
the shooting and his dress leach
to the belief that Paul Bratton
was me actor. Jenkins affirms
, his statement as to his conver
sation with the negro.
Warrants were issued by Mag
istrato T. C. Beckham, who is
' acting coroner, for the two Brat
1 tons, and Caldwell is held tc
' bail in the sum of $500 as r
* material witness. Messrs. W
B. DeLoach, W. B. McCaw anc
1 W. W. Lewis attended the in
quest as representing the Brat
tons. It has been announced
that they will apply at once foi
1 bail for thoir clients.
It is always expected thai
, such an occurrence will develop
a scandal. There are rumors
floating in regard to this affair,
but no statement indicating such
condition can be had, nor does
the testimony before the coroner
give the slightest clue to
the reason for such an act.
Neither Paul Bratton nor John
Bratton has attended the inquest,
and no statement from
them in regard to the occurrence
has been made. If any justification
exists it must be brought
out in another Court.
