the circumstances connected with the kill
ing of DR.. Earle by WIN. L. Yanccy:
'"The fact that W. l.. Yancey killed his
uncle DIR. Earle of South Carolina he's been
stated in general terms, but the details
have not been given. DIR. Earle lived one
mile and half west of Greenville, where
his widow still resides if alive. A few
hundred yards distant is an old field, some
times used for practicing on horseback, but
more frequently resorted to as q muster.

muster. when DR.. Earle's son, about ten
years old. went on to the ground, as oil
boys seek to do. and during their wheeling
and turning, the boy got in the way. Yam
cey ordered him to get out of the way,
but the boy in his confusion, got more and
more in the way, whereupon Yancey lash
ed him most numerically with horse
whip. DR.. Earle was not at home, but ON
returning home through the town friend
told him how cruelty Yancey had treated
his son. DIR. Earle called on Yancey for
an xplanation-Yancey told him that the
boy had been very insolent, and that he
had served him right. When DR.. Earle
reached home and learned the facts, and
found that Yancey had lied to him he re-
turned to Greenville in search of him.
Yancey. knowing the pluck of DIR. Earle,
and that he would be detected in falsehood
prepared himself for fight. DIR. Earle
found Yancey, on Crittenden's porch, and
in marching upon him was shot down by
Yancey, with pistol. These ara the facts
as we have them from one born and reared
in the vicinity. The fact that he was con-
victed upon trial and imprisoned, and af-
terward became the subject of Executive
clemency, corroborates the truth of this
version. This is the man who procured

himself credit for not voting in 1848, when

with six or eight gentlemen belonging to
the Whig party, and added that :. II every
man had done as well as himself, we 49,
