THEORY Of The MURDER
BELIEVED BY SOME THAT NEGRO
ECY SLEW LAD.
Eight -Icar-OId Andrew Jackson May
Have Been Killed by Negro Boys
in Nci@hborhood.

While nothing definite regarding
the identity OF the slayer or slayers Of
young Andrew Jackson, the Florence
boy who was foully done to death
Wednesday afternoon or night, and
whose body was found in a box car In
the Atlantic Coast Line yards at Flor
ence Friday, has been revealed, it is
now held by many that the little
eigh-year-old lad was killed by some
negro children in the neighborhood.
Lending color to this theory is the
fact, as stated by citizens of-Florence
who claim to be in a position to
know, that there is what might be
cermed feud between the little
white boys and the negro children Of
the neishborhood i is believed that
little Andrew Jackson was set upon
by some OF these small blacks and
beat into an unconscious condition by
negro children.
That the negro men and women Of
the district. finding the lad in this
condition, took him into one Of the
houses and when he began to regain
consciousness realized the seriousness
of their predicament and, thinking
it the easiest way out, choked the
little fellow to death. To hide their
crime, according to the theory, the
body was taken in a hack to the
Coast Line yards and there hidden in
the box car.
It is stated that on Wednesday
afternoon, just about the time the 1T
tie fellow left his grandmother's
home there was a fire alarm and the
automobile fire trucks going to the
scene was stuck in the mud near
the section Of town in question. The
theory is that, boy like, Andrew join
ed the crowd about the auto and that
he later became involved in difficult
Y with some Of the little negro boys.
It was stated, in support Of the
theory, that buggy tracks had been
traced from the section OF town in
question to the grounds in the vici2-
itv of the car where the body was
found. It is said further that TIE
little boy seemed to have been chok-
ed to death by means OF an old apron
or apron string and that such an ar
ticle was found in the box car nea1
the boys body.
The Florence Times says this case
has reawakened the interest in the
two others that have occurred in that
same neighborhood where white boys
or young men had been found dead
en- the tracks Of the yard, and there
was doubt as to whether they nac
been killed by an engine as they were
sleeping on the tracks Or killed frs!
and put there to hide the evidence OF
crime. The police Will follow up ev,
ery clue that is possible and they viii
run the culprit to earth if possible.

ONE NAN KILLED And OTHERS
INJURED At WINDSOR
IN fight With POLICE
manford Cushman Killed by John
Cleckly, Chief Of Police, and +. 3.
Johnson, His Assistant. and Three
Other Citizens Were Fatally Hurt
by the Town Officers in the Row.

Windsor, in Aiken County, was the
scene of a bloody battle Saturday
night, in which Hanford Cushman
was killed and three others were
seriously wounded by the town Of
fcers, and John Cleckly, chief Of po-
lice, sustained more or less serious
injuries. Cleckly and his assistant,
l.. 3. Johnson, are in the Aiken
County Jail and John DuBose, Smil-
ey Randall and Jet Atkinson are held
in the Windsor lookup.
The injured are Aleck Nun, shot
in the arm; George WeatnerforG,
shot in the leg; Sweet Cushman,
brother Of the dead. man, shot
through the hand. The fight, which
was general, seems to have grown
out of an attempt to intimidate the
officer, John Cleckley, who was for
merly a member of the police force
in Aiken, and for the past year, since
Windsor was incorporated and
branch dispensary located there, has
been town marshal Of Windsor.
Threats have been made, it is al
legged, to drive him away from the
town because of his activity in main
tanning law and order, and last night
he trouble began when, between S
and 9 o'clock, the officer heard a
shot in Jet Atkinson's butcher shop.
Going into the shop Cleckley found
crowd gathered and saw something
slash as it fell into tub of water.
Thinking it was a weapon that
some one had thrown away, he made
search for it but without success,
then demanded to know who fired
the shot. He arrested Atkinson,
whose sons were present, and it is
said. declared that their father
should not be taken into custody
without fight Outside. the door on
the street the fight began as Cieckley
led Atkinson away toward the town
lookup. and no one will ever know
how many shots were fired.
There was fIsilade which
brought ClecAley's assistant, L. B.
Johnson, to the scene to help his
chief, and another fusilade followed,
and when the smoke had cleared
away Haniord c. Cushman, who is
:amiliarly known as "Son," lay dead
and the others who were shot were
nursing their wounds.
The combatants not only used their
guns but brought knives into play,
Cleckley sustaining several severe
cuts in the arm and face and head.
he and his assistant, however, made
wholesale arrests, locking John Du-
bose, Smiley Randall and Jet AtkIn-
son in the Windsor jail before COM
ing to Aiken. where they are being
held pending an investigation.
The coroner went to Windsor Sun
! day afternoon to hold an inquest ov-
er the body Of Hanford Cushman. IN
the past Windsor has been the scene
Of many fatal street fights, but the
town had quieted down during the
past few years.
Cleckley was known as fearless
officer. 1t is understood that the town
of Windsor will defray the expenses
Of his and Johnson's defense 1t is
not known whether Cleckley or John
son fired the shot that killed Cush-
man as the fighting took place IN
the dimly lighted street and firing
was general.

during the past two weeks, have as

previous to the attack upon the
Northern resident, two girls, while
standing about two hundred yards
from the woman's home and at the
extreme southern intersection OF Lau-
rens street and Park avenue, were
approached by negro. who attempt

The mysterious attack. upon tn

The mysterious attack. upon the
prominent Northern society women
at Aiken which was made several
nights ago continues to puzzle the
police of the place, who are just as
much at sea as they ever were. The
Investigation is still being pushed,
hut no additional light has been shed
upon the matter.
1t is known that Pinkerton de-
tective is in Aiken, trying to fathom
the mystery, and it is also stated
that the reward of $500 has at
tracted private detectives to the
place, and they are working on the
case, but just what progress, if any,
they are making remains secret.
OF the $500 reward already Of
fered, $500 was made by city coun-
ell. This sum supplemented by Mr..
{. Oliver Iselin, a prominent winter
resident, to the extent of $1,000.
And Saturday Mr.. Iselin offers the
additional incentive Of $1,000, max
ing a reward of $4,000 for the arrest
and conviction of the person who so
murderously assaulted the woman.
The offer was made through letter
to Mayor Gyles, which, in part, reads
as follows:
"In order to stimula the entire
police forces of the United States Of
America to run to earth the person
or persons who during the past two
weeks, have assaulted four different
white women, I am prepared to offer,
in the name of the city council, ST.

have already guaranteed for the ar
rest and conviction of the person
or persons who attacked -, pro-
vided that the persons who may be
found guilty are convicted Of assault
with intent to ravish. I am also pre-
pared to offer $3.50 for the arrest
and conviction Of the person or per-
sons who assaulted - (still an
other woman) on Dupre avenue, in
this city, on the evening OF Friday,
March 1, and I agree to increase this
reward to $500, provided the person
