St. Mathews, Aug. 16.-A
narrowing tale comes from the
COngaree section about ten miles
from this place. A few days ago
Ned SclPio, colored, inflicted an
unmerciful beating upon the per-
son of his inamorata, Lavinia
.Diggins.
The woman taken to her bed
and never recovered, dying on the
10th. Scipio buried his victim
amid the protest of few of the
Diggins woman's friends which
eventually became so strong that
the case was reported to the
coroner who had tho body disin-
TERED on the 14th.
THE POST MoRTEM
revealed = horrible condition, the
fosb about the throat and breust
was beaten to pulp, tive of the
ribs we're broken one in two
places, ard the lungs congested,
showing that pnsumonia existed.
Tho coronsr's jury promptly
decided that death was probably
caused by the terrible beating
given by Scipio, who was arrested
and lodged IN Jail by the coroner.
Scipio has been regarded as a
pillar in the church.
