four revenue officials by the names Of Mouse,
Cor Moose) Durham, Kane and Scruggs, Eve
do not know their initials,) went to the house
of Mrs. Ladd, widow lady, living in the
mountainous section Of this county, and bru.
tally murdered her son, Amos Ladd, ayoung
man, aged about 81 years. We have not the
full particulars of this most atrocious and
fendish murder, but will give briefly only
what has come to US, as we consider it, we'll
authenticated, and reserve fuller particulars
for future time, when all the facts can be
properly brought out. Itappears that heyoung
man was standing or rather leaning, against
the door facing. when the revenue officers rode
up, or walked up, 1--WE believe they were walk
ng,) and deliberatel y shot him dead on the
spot without making known to him their
design. The young man fell out of the door
lifeless, when the official said to his brother,
"Who have we shot" The reply was, "Y ou
have shot my brother" The officers then
turned and left the house, but concealed
themselves on small hill near the house
in the brush, and remained there for some
time, for what purpose it is not known.
They then went to the store of Mr.. King,
some four miles off, where they endeavored
to hire conveyance to Easley Station. Mr.
King told them that be could not carry them
that evening, but if they would wait until
morning he would carry them. This, they
said, they could not do, as they had business
of Importance to attend to and must 90 that
night. They then hired one mule from him,
and Kane rode rapidly for the station, passing
through this place by back way about dusk
and arriving at Easley just in time to take
the o'clock train going north. He gave
negro ten cents to carry the mule to the livery
stable, with instructions to send it back to
Mr.. Bayis Hendricks, at this place, where
the officials had told Mr.. King they desired
the mule to ride to.
1t appears that two shots were fired at
Ladd, the first talking effect and killing him,
while the second missed. From this fact, and
the fact that he rode off Mr.. Kings mule, and
left Immediately on the train, it is supposed he
did the killing. The other three went across
the country towards Greenville on foot, and
at this writing we know not where they are.
