Just across tho river bridge in South

in her arms, was shot and killed 10y Zen
Smith. the father OF her chlld. There We're
no witnesses to the shooting and the deep
is shrouded In mystery. Smith says it was
accidental; that he did not know the
pistol was loaded and popped it at her as
a joke and was shocked when she fell deau
before him with bullet hole In her
forehead Smiths mother had LETT tho
room but a moment or SO before and says
Smith had no pistol in his hand at the
time
Tho first person who ran into the room
after the shot saw Smith over the woman
beseeching her to speak to him and then
attempting TO turn the pistol upon himself.
In the opinion OF those who think the KILL
ing murder this was all n part OF the
game but those who accept Smiths state
ment that II was accidental think that
Smith was Mortified at the accident and
would have also killed himself IL he had
not been prevented
After the shooting Smith jumped into
road cart and drove rapidly 20 Augusta
for medical aid. and after It was all over
surrendered to the Aiken authorities TO
await the result of the coroner's investi-
cation.
Elizabeth Afuricr was about twenty years
old and the baby was horn about two years
