Fox had his knife in his hand and he stabbed him in the breast. He held it in the breast and worked it around. The boy was begging him not to kill him and said he would not tell. Gappins turned loose his hand and grabbed his throat and. threw him down on the ground. Fox stabbed him three or four times. Fox said he would cut his damned heart out of him and Gappins said that is alright. I have got his money. "They told me to get out and help them to put him in the car. I got out and they just picked him up and threw him in the car. They got in the front of the car and made me get in the hack, and turned around and come towards Leesville, S. C. They drove own the road some distance, I don't know how far, into the woods. They stopped the car and took him out and carried him into the woods. I told them that I could not, and they got out and one of them hit me in the side and said "get out of the way, you are not worth a damn." They took him ut and carried him down into the woods themselves. They were not gone but a little bit. They come back and got in the car and told me that if I ever told or mentioned anything they would do me the same way. We come on tnis way v towards Augusta/. I think it must have been about 2:00 'clock. I think the boy looked at his clock. The boy had said it was 2:00 o'clock and time for us all to go home. "We got to Augusta about 3 o'clock. We broke down about 8 o'clock and went on down to where the chaingang was working. They told me to ask if we could get a tire at the next station, they said they did not think so but said if I would phone back to Augusta I might have it sent out. Then they said I might get it at Waynesboro. "We all went to the top of the hill th see if I could get the tire and to see if I could wire for some money. I found I could not get either. They told me to stay there and ger the first car that came along and that if I did not get one to walk to Waynesboro, and to wire for money and if I got the money to wait there at the depot for them, and they told me that if I toWanything that they would give me the same thing they had given the loy. "I stayed there some minutes and a man ami a lady come along and ther T toM ttipm to toli a rhaincanc cuard ty come up there; I wanted to see lim. I first asked them to take me to Waynesboro. They told me they could ot, they thought. We talked a min te or two. I told him about the trouble and he went and called for the sheriff to come, he come back and I went to the work place and stayed until the sheriff coue, except he and I got the car and brought it to the work place. The number was taken off the car while it was broke down and thrown in the bushes they stated, ana without the number the officers could ot trace the car. \ Body of Murdered Man Recovered. With a wide jagged wound over the heart and punctures in the abdomen and other parts, the body of William Brazell, 19-year-Oid taxicao qriver 01 Columbia, was found near the public highway in a chump of bushes three miles east of Leesville, Lexington county, early Tuesday morning by a party of searciiers, in which were Sheriff J. T. Plunkett, of Richmond oounty, Ga., Sheriff Ruff, of Lexington county, and Sheriff T. Alex Heise, of Richland county. The body was brought to Columbia immediately and taken to local undertaking establishment where it was prepared for burial from the home o: the.youth's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Brazell, Calhoun street, Pine hurst, Columbia. Three men?F. J. Kirby, C. 0. Fox and Jesse Gappins, all of Columbia? -a *rp heinc- held as implicated in the W " murder. According to an alleged confession made to Sheriff Plunkitt in the Augusta, Ga., jail by F. J. Kirby, Fox and Gappins did the actual killing, the latter holding Brazell and the former stabbing '.he youth with a pocket knife. The three rented the car driven by Brazell to take a trip into Lexingtno county, according to the alleged confession, and the killing took place near Leesville. Sheriff Plunkett brought Kirby with him Tuesday from Augusta to identify the spot where the body of Eraze 11 was thrown. He was joined by Sheriffs Ruff and Heise and a number ?f people in automobiles. Kirby, said Sheriff Heise, could not exactly identify'the spot, ani went beyond where the body was found about a mile. It was finally located by buzzards circulating over it in the air. Sheriff Heise said that the body was badly hacked. Five stabs were over the heart, he stated, and it looked as if a knife had been ground'around in the wounds to enlarge them. A place as big as a man's fist was gashed out. ' \ he said. There were a number of stabs in the abdomen and the hands were lacerated. Sheriff Plunkett told Sheriff Heise that in his many years experience he had never seen such a brutal murder. There was considerable feeling in Lexington county about the murder and there was much talk that if Cox and Gappins were brought to the county jail in Lexington that there migth be attempts at lynching. Kirby was incarcerated in :he Lexington county jail Tuesday and Sheriff Plunkett and Sheriff Ruff went back to Augusta to" get Cox and Gappins. It is believed that they will be brought by a circuitous route to Columbia and lodged in the state per ltenuary ior sait- ^1115. Sheriff Plunkett said that Cox ard Cappins had confessed to him, implicating themselves with the killing, according to a statement by Sheriff Heise. o W. J. Bryan Violates Speed Laws.
