this county at different times. Be-
sides a widow and three children he

NEGRO KILLED
FOR HIS MONEY.
Dan Fuller Found Dead in
His Home.
ROBBERY THE MOTIVE.
The Murdered Man Lived Alone and
Had Been Dead Several Days When
Body Was Discovered.

Dan Fuller, colored, was found dead
on the floor OF his one room cottage in
the town Of Mountville Christmas morn
ing. Fuller had been dead week per-
haps, but there was no mis- akiDg TIE
fact that he bad been done to death In
a brutal and horrible manner, his
throat having been cut from ear to ear
end his head crushed in with the pole
of an axe or some blunt Implement.
The ghastly discovery was made by
Mr.. Conway Smith, Fuller's landlord.
Tue house was locked and MIR. Smith
had to force an entrance. Later the
key was found in the yard.
Robbery was undoubtedly the motive
f3r the foul deed as it is said by the
white citizens of the vicinity that it
was known or genrally supposed that
Fuller had a considerable some of money.
He was about so years old, lived by
himself all his life, worked hard and
saved his earnings. For his savings he
must have forfeited his life as no one
so far as known had aught against Dan
Fuller.
So far there seems to be no cue as to
he murderer and robber. a negro
W man has tod OF seeing Fuller and
aLother negro sitting by the fire in
Fuler's house o few evenings ago just
at nightfall and after that time, as she
remembers, the house was closed daily.
This fact, however, does not seem to
have caused suspicion among the neigh-
bors or passersby as no Investigation
was made. Mr.. Smith visited the place
with prospective tenant with the view
of ascertaining when the old man in
tended to vacato the house as ne had
given i. up for another year.
The finding in the vicinity of pocket
book which has been identified as
Fuller's removes all doubt, if any ex-
istcl, as to the theory of robbery.
