Olin Patterson, about 23 years old, was brought to Kingstree late Saturday night, and lodged in jail, charged with the shooting of Lizzie Wilder at the home of her father, Henry Wilder, on the plantation of MrJT Sexton, about three miles north of town. A postmortem was held by Drs Jacobs and Kelley Sunday morning. Coroner H U Kinder and a jury composed of Messrs Ed McCants, Hugh Altman, W J Cockfield, .J T Sexton. J R Pendergrass and Sam McClary, held an inquest and the evidence offered was to the effect that Patterson, who had been making his home at Lizzie Wilder's house, also located on Mr Sexton's place, had quarreled with the woman 011 Friday night. On Saturday night he did not find her at her own h#ne and taking a single barrel shot gun from the woman's house, went to the home of her father, Henry Wilder, where he found her in company with her parents and a number of other darkies. Patterson, it seems, went into the house leaving the gun on the outside; he tried to talk with Lizzie, and proffered her a piece of cheese as a peace offering, this she refused, and would have nothing to say to Patterson, whereupon he stepped out of the house and shot her in the hack, the entire charge lodging in the upper part of the right lung. The woman died from the wound a few hours later. Patterson attempted to run after j he had shot the woman hut was; captured byRobt Epps, who was in j the Wilder home at the time of the shooting, but not until he had re-' ceived a blow on the head with the | gun which l>ent the barrel to an'; angle of several degrees. Epps and < Mr Sexton succeeded in tieing Rut-jj terson and brought him to jail here; as above stated. Patterson is from j Darlington county and came here 11 about eight years ago with Mr Sex -j1 ton in whose.employ the negro has' been ever since. : Medical Society Meeting.
