Attempt on Life of Well Known * Florence Lady. * I Florence, April 21:?An attempt, supposedly to take the life of a well known Florence lady and her son, Ferdinand, at their home, 104 East street, this city, about 9:80 o'clock Saturday night,was made by a negro with the use of a part of a heavy steel "S" wrench. But for their screams and the prompt response of neighbors and members of the police force, both of them no doubt would have been murdered. The husband, who was at worK in the A C L yard8,was apprised of the deed later in the evening. The story as given by Chief of Police H M Brunson, who, with Foreman Mack Worrell, of the chaingang, ran to earth the negro supposed to have committed the assault, is as follows: The lady, the wife of an Atlantic Coast Line trainman, and her 12year-old son were alone at their home. Some one knocked at the door and upon investigation it proved to be a negro, said to be named Herman Kollv Vm/t hppn apnt thprp to boy milk. He did not have a vessel to take the milk in and was loaned a pitcher which he was to return. Later in the evening Kelly returned with the pitcher and, according to the police story, as he handed the lady the vessel he caught her by the arm and struck her over the head with a part of a steel "S" wrench, which is used by track forces for tightening rail bolts. The blow partially felled her and she began to scream. The assailant struck her - again and by this time her son, who had been asleep, was awakened, and he ran into the yard screaming. minKing uiai ne naa prooaoiy slain the lady, the negro ran out after the boy, felling him. By this time neighbors began to reach the place and, fearing that he would be caught, the negro, supposed to have been Kelly, ran through the back yard and attempted to scale a high fence to the side of the premises. In doing so, however, a board broke with him and he fell heavily to the ground. As he fell his arm was caught on the end of a picket and the skin torn off. In this condition, and with blood from his victim's wounds smeared over his clothing, hp madp cnnH fnr the* timp his es cape. It was not long afterwards before a great crowd gathered and the po- 1 lice officers proceeded to run down j the negro. Chief Brunson and Offic- < er Worrell followed a clue and i shortly after midnight, at the home of Jack Black, whose wife is an aunt of Kelley's, they arrested Kelly, who is charged as being the man who committed the deed. When arrested Kelly is said to have had the scratch on the arm which it is thought was made in the fall over the fence. The officers took Kelly before his victims, who identified him as being the right party. Kelly was then carried to the station house and later removed to the jail. By this time there were various rumors as to what would be done Nei Beautifully style and beautj II piece. S.
