kr. Amos E Davis
is Acquitted.
Accused of the Murder of His
Brothsr>in-Law, J S Lylss, in
fairfield County.
Special to The State.

Winnsboro, Feb. 80. Mr..
Amos f Davis has by jury of
his country men has boon found
not guilty Of the charge of mur
dor. Mr.. Davis WAS accused of
having taken the life of his broth
sr,in>lsv, j S Lylss.
Owing to the prominence and
high social standing of all the
parties connected with this unfor.
tunats tragedy brief resume of
the facts which led up to the sad
affair will be given.
The accused, MIR. A E Davis, is
one of the best men of this county
and his family 10 large and con-
nections numerous. Therefore his
trial excited = great deal of inter-
est and from the commence ment
Of the trial to it's finish tho court
house was denssly packed with
friends and sympstbizsr,.
Mr.. j S Lyles was a hrother-in
law of the accused and fell out
with Mr. DAVIS ON account of
some Misunderstanding about the
management of some property of
the estate Of Capt Thos Lylss of
which Mr.. Davis had the ma age.
msst.
MIR. Davis and the deceased
uero very close friends previous
to the occurrence Of tho difficulty
about the property.
Previous to the fstsd Sunday
morning when } 5 Lyles was shot,
he had made numerous threats to
tnke the life of Mr.. Davis and
those threats were communicated
t. Davis by his neighbors WHO
cautioned him to he on his gnard
against his brother in,Iaw. The
proof clearly showed that the de-
tendant did everything in his
power to plscats his kinsm IN
but all Of his attempts we're Of no
avail.
On the morning Of the trg gedy
tho deceased came to Davis house
xnd asked to see him. Davis went
out and invited deceased to come
into the house. Thi. uas rndeIv
refused by Lyles who almost i'm
msdiatsly y drew his pistol. Davis
lost no time in drawing his aud
both parties began friag. Lylss
was shot twice and died almost
Immediately aftsr~ard. The
smoke OF tho firing had scarcely
cleared away whom the wife of Mr.
Davis, who was also the sister of
the dead man, rushed out of her
home to her husband.
The hrst words spoken by Mr..
Davis were: "Mattis, there he
liss. hste it hut it was nv life
or his" The facts developed on
this trial showed beyond question
that Davis WAS not at fault and
that ne was long suffering. 1t WAS
trul J hard fate that after having
done all IL his power to make
peace bstwesn himself and his
brother and former friend he
should at last be doomed to the
awful necessity of taking his life
or losing his own.
