NeWboId Kills a Good Man.
SHOT AS He MOVED OFF.

Special to The State.
Spartanburg, Nov. 10 Once
more Spartanburg is the seat of al
awfn! tragedy aud perhaps by mere
coincidence the scene of murder is
just two miles below the spot where
Will Durham and Jack Fisher were
murdered by the constables in Juue,
1895, on the Howard Gap road
The victim in this case is J. Henry
Turner, one of the most highly es-
teemed and influential citizens in the
county, farmer in good circum-
stances He came to his death by a
pistol shot this morning fred by Chief
State Constable Newbold
The facts of the case are about as
follows: A short while back New
bold received instructions from the
governor to take wagon and three
men and make touring expedition
though Spartanburg, Pickens and
Greenville counties. as many people
were complaining of the illicit sale
of whiskey in these counties. So
NewboId secured the services of s.
T Howie. LaFar and McCaskill to
assist him. Last night he left two
Of the party at the standpipe in the
city limits and be and Howie went
up The Howard Gap road until they
reached the Stephen Grove negro
church, two and half miles from the
city limits. Here they camped.
About 5 O'Clock this morning: Mr.. J..
Fl. Turner passed by on bis way to
Columbia to attend meeting of the
cotton growers in Columbia during
fair week He was accompanied by
a young man named Bruce and was
10 q buggy which mule was pulling.
Arriving near the church they both
saw the camp fire, but thought moth.
ing oft Newbold turned to Howie
as the buggy approached and told
him to go out and malt it This he!
proceeded to do but reaching the
vehicle he could see that there was
nothing suspicious about the buggy
or its inmates. SO he proceeded to, LET
t pass Newbold hurried up and
started to overtake the buggy, the
mule then trottlng briskly He sue
Eceeded In doing 80, and planting him
self 10 the middle of the road in front
of the buggy called on Mr. Turner
and Bruce to halt. Newbold had a
cooked pistol in each hand The
mule kept steadily on and Newbold
raised the pistol in his left hand to
fire. just afterwards the gun in his
right hand also went off and The ball
took effect in Mr. Tuners throat
The wound proved fatal. for 80 min
utee later ne died The victim was car
ried to town by Mr.. Bruce and ex-
State Constable Howie DR. Dean
| was summoned and he pronounced Mr.
Turner dead. His body was then ta-
ken back to his home. six miles above
/ the city
| Newbold claims that the killing
vas accidental purely he says that
when he raised the weapon to fire to
make the mule halt the other pistol
also went off inficting the deadly
wound. This is the story he tells his
attorney, Judge w. S. Thompson,
and it is corroborated by his compan-
ion. S Y. Howie.
Newbold came to town Immediately
after the killing. and through his at
torney procured horse and buggy
and drove out of the city little after
6 O'Clock He has not since been
seen Sheriff Dean is vigilant and
active and will certainly nab him.
