Hearing that PuRilist Mitchell had promised
TO second Smith. Baird. believing that Mitchell
had some lingering spark OF chvalry In his

EDITOR MURDERED.

For some weeks, Capt. F. w. Daw-
son, the editor of the Charleston, S. c.,
Nesos and Courier suspected that DR.. T.
b. Mellow, young physician, married
man with an unsavory reputation, had
been showing attentions to young girl
employed as nurse girl in Capt. Dawson's
family. He asked the chief of police to
detail a detective to shadow the girl,
stating that if she was honorably courted
he would have nothing to say, but that
he did not desire his children to be in
trusted to girl who was not strictly
honest. The detective accordingly
Swallowed the girl. On Monday morn
ing he saw her get on Rutledge avenue
STR ct car, where she was soon Joined
by DR.. Mellow, the murderer. The de-
tective followed the pair for several
hours, and submitted a report in writing
10 the chief OF police, who communicated
its details to Capt. Dawson on Tuesday.
Capt. Dawson left his office at $40 D.
M, and was found murdered about $50
In the office of DR.. Mellow. His face
was badly beaten and pistol bullet was
found in his heart. 1t is supposed that
he went to DR.. McDow's to demonstrate
with nina married man and the father
OF several children-agalnst his attentions
to his maid servant, and that DIR. Mellow
shot him after the two had been engaged
III a scrimmage. The body of the muir
oered man had, in the meantime. lain
in ne office of the murderer, not one
hundred yards from his own residenc.
After the murder, Mellow disappeared
III L 80 p. M, when he appeared at the
police station and surrendered himself.
Mellow isssaid to be the only doctor in
Charleston who is not a member of the
State Medical Society. He married some
years ago the daughter of G. G. Ahrens,
rich retired grocer, and it is known
that the police have been asked to
shadow him several times. After MUIR
dering his victim, it is said, DR.. Mellow
eft the body, weltering in blood, lying
n the floor, locked his office door and
went out to corner grocery shop
There is evidence that he tired to bury
the corpse of his victim, but that in the
meantime suspicious had got out, and
finally three hours after he had killed his
victim, he ~oluntarily surrendered
himself to the police authorities.
Capt. Dawson was native of England,
but he passed the greater part of his life
IN the Southern States. Early in the
War, Commodore Robert B. Pegram, of
the Confederate Navy, was in English
waters in command of the Nashville.
Dawson asked him for passage to the
Southern States as he wished to join the
Confederate army. The gallant Dawson
on reaching the South went into the navy
and afterwards joined the artillery branch
He was on Gen. Longstreet's staff in the
Knoxville campaign, and served with
conspicuous gallantry until the close of
the War; He was an intimate friend of
Gen. Lee, and was regarded by all as one
of the most chivalrous and gallant SOL
aiers and officers of the Confederacy.
