NEGRO ATTACKS MOTHER AND SON. Wife of Florence Man is Decoyed and Beaten on Head?Strikes Boy aa He Tries to Run?He is Captured Several Hours Later and Placed in JaiL Florence, S. C. April 21.?The wife of a prominent Florence citizen and her son, of 12 years, were murderously assaulted by a negro, Herman Kelly, late yesterday. Kelly applied at the home of his victim to buy a pint or milk for a restaurant accustomed to buy from her. She delivered the milk in her own pitcher, none having been brought. In a few minutes Kelly returned the pitcher, paying for the milk, and as the lady reached for it, he caught her by the left arm and swung a long handled wrench, used by car inspectors, striking her on the head. He forced her into the room, striking her several times with the heavy wrench, she screaming aloud. Her son attempted to dash from the room for assistance and Kelly caught : him, dealing him a fearful blow on i head with the wrench and following him to the yard and striking him again.? He then dashed towards the 1 back fence, as the woman's cries were attracting persons from all around, for the home is near the old Jacobi hotel on Front street. In trying to get over the fence his feet slipped and his arms were skinned, but he got 'j away before the crowd reached him. i He was captured at the restaurant < next door several hours later, with s every evidence of being the right ne- 1 gro, even to blood stains and freshly i washed cuffs and skinned arms. He < is now in jail. His victims are in a . serious condition. The woman is the wife of a well known yard conductor of the Atlantic Coast Line. Kelly is the same negro who was sent to the chaingang for three years some time ago, being caught under a bed in a private house in the city. He is about 22 years of age. He has worked recently at the industrial school. He was a good worker when on the chaingang, but the police have been watching him since he was released. SPARTANBURG TO BETTER STREET CAR SYSTEM. F.
