her, held an inquest upon the body of an
old white man named Gideon Jeffries who
was found dead near Roses Mill, about six
teen miles from Columbia, on Sunday last.
After the examination of several witnesses,
and a post m'ortens by DR.. W. L. Templeton,
tho jury returned the following verdict
That Gideon Jctf'ries came to his death from
