Columbia, May 1:?If "Peg Leg'' Hughes, the negro brought here a short time ago for safekeeping in the penitentiary to prevent his being lynched for the killing of Clerk of Court W B Causey of Hampton, can prove the explanation as he has just given Superintendent Griffith at the penitentiary as to why he shot Mr Causey, not only will there be no lynching but he will be acquitted, and a mild sensation will be uncovered in that section of the State. Hughes says that Mr Causey and his friend Jackson were out "larking'' the night of the killing and came to his4 -mse d* landing women. He says he old .em there were none in the h ?they asked him about a mu^tlo, h stepdaughter. He says he told ih she had gone away, whereupva they denounced him as a liar and broke into his house and searched it thoroughly, jumping An him nntaidp afterward and beat ing him. He says he was "catching thunder" when he pulled his revolver and began to shoot,wonnding both men. Hughes says he did not want to kill Mr Causey, but that he did seek the life of his friend. The Hampton sheriff, who was here recently, told Capt Griffith that he knew nothing of the causes leading up to the shooting. The news-1 paper accounts that have been sent out from Hampton give the appearance of being carefully guarded. Hughes had just finished a term in the penitentiary for killing a negro. Capt Griffith says Hughes can hoe more cotton in a day than any twolegged negro he ever had.'?Columbia Record~ J Action i le.?As a business man can j >ut protection on your horse j've Stock Insurance compajusiness in South Carolina.
