BRUTAL ASSAULT
NEGRO CLUBS WIDOW OF MUIR
DERED MAN.
Hurried Away from Scene of Brutal
Deed to Escape Excited Crowd


Hurried to Police Station.
A brutal assault with stick of
wood was made Friday upon Mrs.
Lubelsky, the widow of the Jewish
merchant. who was clubbed to death
in his store on King street, Charles
ton, in broad daylight two weeks
ago, and Daniel Duncan, black ne
gro, 20 years of age, was arrested
and charged with the crime. Again
the midday hour seems to have been
chosen for the dastardly deed.
About eleven o'clock Mrs. Lubel-
sky ran out of the store of her hus-
band in which she has been trying
to make her living, with blood
streaming from her face and calling
for assistance. Just then a negro
emerged, and two men, Isaac Good
man and Moses Needle, who were
passing, gave chase of the negro. He
was caught a few blocks distant and
promptly turned over to Police Oil
Ger Stanley and Detective Levy, who
had also taken up the chase. Pro-
testing his innocence and declaring
that another negro had attempted to
kill the woman, Daniels was taken
to the station house amidst great ex-
citement and the patrol wagon did
not roll off any too soon from the
excited neighborhood of the scene.
Daniels was identified by Mrs.
Lubelsky before being taken to the
station house. The negro was put
through the third degree" but with
what success of making him admit
any connection with the assault on
Mrs. Lubelsky or the murder of her
husband it is not known. An old
negro, John Shuler, of the neighbor-
hood identified Daniels as having
been seen in Lubelsky's store on the
morning that the man was killed.
This is the most important testimony
vet secured and made public in the
case.
Mrs. Lubelsky was very nervous
and excited, and about all that she
would say was that the negro had
entered the store and attacked her
and that she was struck several
times in lodging the blows and max
ing her escape from the store. The
piece of wood was similar to that
which was used on the husband and
similar pieces were found on the
premises on which Duncan resided.
A number Of negroes have been ar
rested as witnesses. Mrs. Lubelsky s
wounds in the face had to be stitch
ed. She is not seriously hurt.

DENIES ALL CHARGES
THE AIKEN CAMPAIGN MEETING
4 LIVELY ONE.
Lyon Cited the Records to Prove
Evans Stories False.-Other Can
didates Warmed Up.

A sensation was sprung at the
campaign meeting at Aiken on Sat
urday when Chairman Henderson,
following the speech of Mr. B. B. Ev-
ans, arose and declared that ATTIC :
ney General Lyon did not employ
him to appear before the United
States Supreme Court, the South
Carolina Congressman employing an
attorney. Mr.. Henderson said that
Mr. Lyons argument before this
high court was good and that he
was an able lawyer.
A1r. Evans then arose and at
tempted to speak. He was cheered
and hissed.
Let him speak," requested Mr..
Lyon, but Mr.. Evans sat down.
IF there is any person in this
audience said Mr.. Lyon, who is
so simple or foolish as to believe a
single thing Barney tells you, he
will go and laugh at you"
Mr.. Lyon received an ovation, as
he told the large audience that MI.
Evans does not believe his fairy tales
himself. With ale brief time allow
ed to him, Mr.. Evans took up one by
one the charges made by Mr.. Evans.
He proved by the State treasurer,
the clerk of Richland county court,
the Comptroller General, the chair
man OF the dispensary winding-up
commission and others the falsity Of
the charges.
And yet" declared Mr.. Lyon,
Barney has the gall to stand up and
tell you that Lyon misused your
money. The merger case is on the
Richland county, docket, set for
trial this fail.
Mr.. Lyon said he employed a de-
tective to root out a crowd Of graft
ers. "And came near getting Bar
ney's Cousin Hub Evans. Would
Barney prosecute his Cousin Hub?
I don't think so." Here Mr.. Lyon
took up his opponents record and
declared that his most important
case in the Supreme Court was con-
cerning a pointer pup" And he
lost that" He has had nine cases
in all, and has lost seven, losing
several of these because he did not
know how to draw his pleadings.
Mr. Lyon declared amid great ap-
plause that outside his own word
Mr.. Evans couldn't prove single
charge that he has made.
Mr. Evans made practically the
same charges of incompetentcy and
extravaganza that he has made here
tofore. A few persons in the aud
ience shouted encouragement as he
spoke.
"Gve it to him, Eyans!" they
cried. When Mr.. Evans concluded
a part of the crowd cheered and a
few hissed
Mr. Lyon had bundle of afTi-
davits, which he referred to briefly
proving by them that every state
ment made by his opponent was
false.
Another mild sensation was sprung
when Capt. w. w. Moore. candidate
for adjutant general, replied to al
legged insinuations made by his op-
ponent, Capt. Richardson. He drew
the record of the adjutant general
to show that Richardson's men had
been guilty of insubordination. Capt.
Richardson had taken him to task
in regard to his stay at the Cidadel,
alleging that his opponent had left
the impression that he was grad
nate. This was Richardson's home
town and he received much applause.
