XIII a Boy and His Pursuers.
Columbia, S. c., March 15-News of
horrible tragedy reaches here from Aiken
county. The two principals are bright mu-
lattoes. Philip Thomas and his wife
Americas were living near Aiken. The
man becoming dissatisfied with his wife's
conduct made arrangements to move to a
farm in a distant part of the county, but
when he transported his household goods,
Americas refused to go with him and took
up her abode with Laura Mccain, an old
negro woman. A few days ago Thomas
consulted a magistrate in Aiken as to the
proper legal steps to take to force his wife
to live with him. He was told that South
Cardinals laws did not provide for such
contingencies. The next heard of the
jealous husband was when he appeared at
Laura McCain's house and asked to see
his wife. The old woman tried to keep
him out, but he forced his way in and i'm
medlately dashed at Americas with a razor.
She fled out the back door into a field.
Thomas drew a pistol and shot several
times at the fleeing woman. Being I'M
able to hit her, he gave chase, caught and
threw her down, breaking her back. Then
kneeling over her body, one knee on each
arm of the PROSTATE woman he held back
her head with one hand while he almost
severed it from the body with his razor.
Thomas then returned to the house. He
had reloaded his pistol and fired two shots
a a small boy who had witnessed his ter
ribe deed. Then, with pistol and razor
in hand, Thomas pursued old Laura Nc
Cain from house to house in the settle
ment, shooting at her several times. Mr..
]. t. Wingard fired at him with a shotgun
and he fled, taking to the woods Under
the leadership of Chief of Police Weeks
of Aiken, posse of negroes followed him.
When they came up with Thomas he re-
fused to surrender and began shooting. The
negroes returned the fire. shooting him in
the head, then they ran in, striking him
with dubbed guns, breaking his jaw and
one arm. And in this condition he was
taken to pail. He may live to be hanged

DEATH ENDS DEsPONDENoY.
Inability to Get Work Drives an At
lanta Man to Suicide.


Atlanta, Ga, March ia man named
Lawrence, "a years of age, com
mitted suicide in a room at the Kimbau
house this afternoon. His act was cool
and prearranged. Last night he went to
the hotel and secured a room, taking sup
per and breakfast in the regular dining
room. He spent the forenoon in his room
writing and destroying letters About A
o'clock this afternoon his corpse was dis
covered by w. S. Hancock, engineer of
the hotel. who had gone to the room, in
company with Manager George w. SEQ
vile. The door had been locked from
the inside. and the engineer could not set
in without a ladder, climbing through the
transom.
Lawrence had registered at the hotel
as w. D. Upshaw of Waco Tex. Last
night he sent a telegram to his brother,
who was at Athens, asking him to come
Immediately to Atlanta, and he came over
this morning. He saw his brother, ana
left the hotel to see his family in the
northern part of the city. When he re-
turned the dead body had been discovered
Lawrence had destroyed most of his
letters and papers, but left fragments
of one addressed to his mother, in which
he complained of dependency and the
blues.
The Lawrence family lives at Elberton,
and is highly esteemed there. Young
Lawrence, up to about a year ago, was
connected with the Atlanta Mantel Com
pany, and was an exemplary and popu-
lar young man. Since that company
went out of business he has had nothing
regular to do. and his dependency is at
triDutable to business troubles.
