The shooting occurred very near a residence Where young people were en joying a party. The shots caused con Sternation at this place for a few ino nients, but very soon the merrynmak ers formed a part of the large crowd that was attracted there by the fusi lade. The other police oflicers acmc up and word was sent to Laurens of the capture. Many automobiles ear ried people ip who wanted to view thc body and all during the night a steady stream of people came and went. Friday Imorning Coroner IHairstor enipanelled a Jury and held an inquest After hearing testimony and viewing the renainis the Jury arrived at a ver diet to the effect that the stranger Carne to his death from gun shot wounds :!t the hands of Columbus I. Owings. a rural policeman, in the dis charge of his official duty. The remains were brough to L au1 r.;ns on the afternoon train and in terred in the little plot at the Lau rens cemetery beside the grave of tl yeggman slain by City Policemai Walker in the mnemnorable struggle at the freight depot seven years ago, when Policeman Stone met his death. A search of the effects of the de ceased stranger disclosed a sumn of money about equal to that stolen from the lalurens and Gray Court homes, a money order receipt for $50 issued at Columbia September 2nd, and a reg istered letter receipt from the sane post ollice, undated. The receipt inl dicated that the letter was sent by Pruden Ranuirez, to Sra. Luz D. Ran urez, evideitly his wife. The man him self was appalrently about 30 years of age, of niediun height aid stature with dark skin and curly brown hair, evidently being a Cuban of Spanish descent. lie bore several other gun shot and knife wounds, leading to the supposition that he was not a novicc along ciniinal lines. lie carried a mag azine pistol, two flashlights, one iden tilied as that of 'olicemain lilakely, a razor and shaving outfit. Old coins found on his person were identitied by .ir. logers as having been stolen froni hini. The stranger was dressed very poorly, in overalls an(d faded coat, anc wore rough shoes and no socks. is foot was of peculiar shape and he trav eled largely bare-foot, making it easy for the oflicers to trail hine. l'oliceniani Owings, who was shot in the melee, was give nmedical attentil liiunediately.
