WHY HE KILLED CAUSEY.
Negro Slayer Tells Sensational Story as
to Cause of Hampton County Tragedy.
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
