JURY c0NV|C1S WHITE
TO HAVE MURDEI
NEGRO IN COLLETON COUN
TY.
Finding is Unprecedented in State
Since War Between ScctiOns-Quil-
lie Ostcen Declared Guilty With
Recommendation to Mercy.

Walterboro, Nov. ia Colleton
county jury, after only 90 min
utes deliberation, tonight found q
white man guilty of the murder OF q
negro. something that has not occur
red hc"e since before the war. Quillie
Osteei2, young white man of the up
per part Of the county, was convicted
with recommendation to mercy for the
killing of Ernest Copeland, a negro.
Many comments have been made on
the verdict and a few parallel cases
are recalled in South Carolina.
The testimony of the State was to
the effect that Osteen, accompanied
by Carter and Sullivan, went from
their homes on Sunday afternoon in
search of whiskey and at Caldwell
station came in contact with the ne
gro who was killed.
Osteen, as alleged by States wit
nesses, asked Copeland for some wh;s-
key, whereupon the negro with an
oath stated that he had no whislley
nor any money with which to buy any.
Osteen then said to his companions
that they had better take away the
pistol of the negro, which was seen
in his pocket. Some of the witnesses
stated that this comment was made in
a jocular manner. The State main
tanned that the negro ran and that
Osteen shot him in the back of the
head.
The defense offered the plea of self
defense, taking the position that the
negro drew his gun first, a pistol being
found with one cartridge in it near the
body Of the negro. The defense
claimed that Osteen vas not drunk
and sought to show that he had no
evil intent towards the negro, only
shooting in self-defense after the ne
gro had drawn his pistol. The de-
Tense also claimed that the bullet
entered the mouth of tiIcs- ..,egr0s and
went out the back of the head, in
stead, Of entering from the rear as all
legged by the State. This contention
was based on the fact that all of the
negro's front teeth were knocked out,
a fact which the State sought to ex-
plain on the ground that the fall could
have done this.
Notice was given of a motion for a
new trial, which will be heard this
week.
One of the most remarkable facts in
connection with the trial is that since
Osteen has been out on bail pending
trial he has served as special constable
| under the sheriff, charged with en-
forcement of the whiskey laws, and he
is now a witness for the State in at
least half dozen blind tiger cases set
for trial here this week, having ap-
peared in several at the last term of
court. He has also been marshal for
the town of Lodge and special consta-
bic for q magistrate since the shooting
took place.
A few years before the war two
white mon were hanged in Colleton
county for the murder Of negroes, the
testimony in that case being to the eff
feet that the negroes were run down
by white men with hounds and their
bodies cut up and fed to the dogs.
Alter most sensational trial these
men were convicted. A strong appeal
was made 20 the governor for their
pardon, the governor at that time be-
ing Gov. Manning. The pardon was
refused.
