THE MURDERED KU-KLUX.
Faulkner Killed in his Bed.

We published a few days ago the reported
murder of Mr.. Watt Faulkner, who had been
wounded and captured in the late Ku-Klux
visit to Newberry. From the evidence elected
at the coroner's inquest. We learn that he was
living at the house of Mr.. Williams. in Edge
field County. attended by his wife.
On the evening Of May 20, Mr.. j.. C. Williams
testifed' a man came TO the house and desired
TO see MIR. Faulkner privately. He said 10 Mr..
Williams that his business was to aprise the
wounded man that his whereabouts was
knowp. and also OF the danger he was in if he
remained any longer in bis present condition;
that he came as a friend, and asked Mr.. Will
Iiams If he could loan him a wagon to carry
away the wounded man.
After the said conversation With the stran-
per. Mr.. Williams returned 10 the house and
acquainted Mr.. Faulkner with what the stran-
Ger had said, and, at the same time, asked Mr..
Faulkner II he must let him come in. Mr..
Faulkner said. ''Yes. let him come in ]
then returned to. the gate and told the gentle
man he might 60 in and talk with MIR. Faux.
ner. When the gentleman arrived at the door
of the room where Mr. Faulkner lay: he re-
ouested TO speak privately to Mr.. Faulkner. so
Mr.. Faulkner requested myself anu Mrs. Faulk-
ner to retire. which we did.
After talking a short time he came
ont of the room and went towards the
rate. AS soon as the gentleman left the
ROOM. l entered and asked BIT. F. what he
thought of the stranger. He replied that ne
thought he (the strangely was his friend, and
that he had gone out to bring IN o person
whom ne knew. The strange gentleman
agaju returned and said he wished to deliver
a message he had from the gentleman who
was at the gate. So Mr.. Faulkner asked my.
self and his wife to leave the room again nn-
iii the stranger deliVeredSfe message. The
stranger remained in The room a short time,
and when he came out asked me TO accompa-
nv him down 10 the gate aud remain with The
horses until he and the other gentleman came
~ and saw r. Faulkner together. So | walk
ed with him down to the gate, but saw no
horses. Just as / was passing through the
gate up rose three men who presented pistols
at me. and told me If attempted to move
they would shoot me dead. | told them l
would obey their commands.
The gentleman who came with me from the
house beckoned 10 one Of the four men VINO
were at the gate. The two men ran to the
house. rushed into the room, and fired tWo
shots at Mr.. Faulkner, both Of them taking et
feet. one passing through his head and the
| other in the Thigh. Immediately after The re
pOrIs CT ne pistols, the rTormen ran with al
their might down 10 the gate where the otnel
three men were, who had me in custody,
was then told to 60 TO the house. The I'VE
men then ran off with all their might. liner
