4 TERRIBLE CHARGE.
A Father Suspected of Having Caused the
Death of his Daughter by Administer ng
Poison,

Death of his Daughter by Administer ng
Poison.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan H.
At Prosperity, S. c., Laura Kinnard,
white, was found dead in her fathers
house January s. She had apparently been
sitting in front of the fire place and had
fallen forward on her face into the fire.
Her arms were burned nearly off and her
face charred beyond recognition. As soon
as it was known in the community her
friends and relatives went to perform the
last rites, but the father refused them ad-
mission to the rooms and would allow no.
one to enter. The Coroner was driven off
by him on Saturday, but afterward return
ed and forced his way into the room and
held the inquest. Her father refuses to al
low her remains to be inferred. At the in
quest Kinnard admitted that he had given
his daughter some medicine the day before,
but refused TO tell the Jury what it
was in the presence of the physicians who
had been attending at the inquest. After
the physicians had retired he said it was
an infusion of baybery, skull-cap and al
der. This created a suspicion in the minds
IF the jury, and they bad the stomach
5aken out and sent to Charleston for analy-
sis. The father bears a rather bad repu-
.atiOn in the community as a root doctor
and among the negroes as "cOnjurer."
He now permits negroes 20 enter the room
where the corpse lies. but strictly refuses
white people admission. Laura was Kin
cards only child, and she was expected to
come in possession of a large sum OF money
'hortly, hence foul play is suspected.
