MRS, OWENS'S SLAYER
GOVERNOR OFFERS A REwk kRD
 OF $200.
The Crime, One of the Most Outrage ous in the History of thet State, Was Committed in
 Geneva

Governor Jeiks. yesterday announced the offer of reward by the state or S2OO for the capture and conviction or Luther Tinsel a negro charged with the murder of Mrs. J. H. Owens or Geneva County on the night of November 4tn. The reward was announced at the urgent solicitation of George w. Black, sheriff of that county.
 1t will be remembered that on the night of November 4th Mrs. Owens. who was in a wagon with her husband and several children, was shot to death by e drunken negro. When the bullet from a Winchester rife struck the unfortunate woman her infant child was clasped to her breast.
 The negro escaped in the darkness. It is charged that Luther Tinsei, well known negro who worked about the tur- pentine camps of Geneva County, did the shooting.
 Mir, and Mrs. Owens accompanied by their children and several white boys were on a country road returning to their home from Geneva where they had been spending the day. They were driv- ing in a wagon and when four miles from Geneva they met Tinsel and another negro. A controversy ensued. Sherin Black in writing to the Governor says that the difficulty was passed over and Mir. Owen, who is said to be one of the 
 best known and most highly esteemed citizens of Geneva County. continued on his way home with his family. When the party reached McDuffie's still. which is eight miles from Geneva. Sheriff Black says that without the least provocation some negroes stepped out from behind building and fired shet from Win chester rife. Mrs. Owens fell dead In her husbands arms. The grief stricken husband caught his infant child which was at its mothers breast.
 Sheriff Black has written the Governor that MT. Owens has offered e reward of sloO for the capture of the negro. This. the sheriff says. is all that MT. Owens Is able to offer and he asks the State to supplement the reward. Governor Jelks read the papers and with his characteristic quick decision in cases of this kind ordered that reward of $200 be offered for the arrest and con- victton of the negro.
