Inn. Another Tragedy Several
Years Ago.
THAT an evil genius seems to inilu-
cnce the lives Of the little Tucker chill
dren, whose father committed suicide
at the Laurcns mill about two weeks
ago, may be inferred from the follow
ing, taken from the last issue Of The
Fountain Inn Tribune:
Sunday night T.. NJ. Barnctt's chill
dren found an S-year-old girl wander
ing in the woods near their home east
Of town. She was hungry, dirty, ut
tcrly exhausted. After being taken to
tho house, the child explained that
she was daughter Of l.. d. Tucker,
who shot himself to death at the Lau-
rens mill village last Friday. Short
" before taking his life Tucker gave
the child to John Sharp, who lives at
Gray Court. Sharp took her to her
fathers funeral, and then carried her
to his own home. Sunday afternoon
the child became frightened at Sharp's
rough speech and ran away, hiding
In weeds and brush along the road to
avoid capture. Mr.. Barnett kept her
Sunday night and on Monday carried
her to Simpsonville where she has an
uncle.
fuckers suicide last Friday recalls
another tragedy that occurred twelve
years ago. At that time he lived on
Gray's plantation on Enoree nivcr,
While fishing one night, he directed
his wife to lock the four youngest
children in the house and bring the
Oldest child to the river with his sup

who arrived first on the scene found
two charred bodies at the threshold
of the front door, where they had
struggled to get out. The two young
