KILLING NEAR NEECES
WHITE MAN KILLS NEGRO WHO
CHASED HIS WIFE.
Mr. j. L. johnson Shot and Killed
Negro Named 1ige Walker Who
Had Chased His Wife.

The Orangeburgs correspondent
of The News and, Courier says an
other homicide has been recorded
in Orangeburg County. Between 8
and O'Clock Friday morning j. L.
johnson, white. shot and killed ne
gro named Lige Walker, about two
and half miles from the town of
Neeces, in this county. The cause
of the shooting was the alleged at
tempt on the part of the negro to
assault the wife of Mr.. Johnson.
Nothing was known here Of the affair
until Saturday morning, when Mr..
Johnson came to the city and sur
rendered to Sheriff Dukes.
Following is complete story OF
the killing and the events leading
up to it as told to The News and
Courier correspondent by Mr.. john
son: Mr.. Johnson and family live
on the place of Mr.. J. M. Stephenson,
by whom the former is employed,
their. residences being about half
mile apart. About IL o'clock Thurs
day morning Mrs. johnson was in
the cotton field right by Stephen
sons house, near which the negro
was sharpening some farm imple-
ward her home, and when about l5o
yards from Stephenson's house the
negro suddenly quit his work and
began running in the direction taken
by Mrs. Johnson, who was accompanl-
ed by her seven-year-old son. They
became alarmed and also commence
ed to run, the negro gaining on them
all the time. When very near the
house Walker stopped, running, evil
IDENTIFY frightened al the screams OF
the lady and child, and disappeared.
The husband reached home about II
o'clock and found his wife in high
ly nervous state, and was informed
about the occurrence. He had no
shells in the house at the time but
procured some that afternoon. He.
was unable to locate the negro at
that time SO took his gun to the field
Friday morning with the intention
of shooting Walker. on sight. Be-
tween s and 9 o'clock, seeing the
negro at Stephenson's gate in con-
versation with the latter, he picked
up the gun and started toward the
two men. When within hearing dis
tance he found that Stephenson had
discharged Walker and was order
ing him of the place. The negro
saw him coming and turned to run
when Johnson fred the load strik-
ing Walker in the back. The negro
fell on his back, when Johnson re-
loaded and fired again, the second
shot lodging in the abdomen, pro-
ducing instant death. Johnson then
left the scene of the trouble with the
intention OF remaining away until
after the inquest, telling Stephenson
where he was going, distance of
about two miles. He returned home'
before night and remained there un-
til Saturday morning, when he came
to Orangeburg and gave himself up.
1t seems that Walker had been in
the neighborhood only about month
and told conflicting stories concern
ing his former whereabouts, He had
also made himself Objectionable on
several previous occasions, and al
together was considered something
of suspicious, character. ,,.,,;.c,.
The inquest was held by MagistratN
Tyler, at Norway. 1t is understood
that application will be made. for
bail at once.
