WAYLAID AND KILLED.
Negro Shot From Ambush Sat
urday Night.

While two negroes. Sylvester
Stack and Henry Funderburk,
who lived near Lynch's river.
were travelling the Chesterfield
and Lancaster public road, near
the old Sam Robertson place,
Saturday night. about 8 o'clock.
they were fired upon by some
one secreted near the road with
a shotgun, with the result that
Sylvester received a charge of
No. l shot in his side from the
effects of which he died few
hours later. Sheriff Hunter and
his deputy, Mr.. Carnes, went
Sunday to the scene of the shoot
ing to look into the matter and
brought back with them, two
negroes, Wriston White and his
son, Henry White, the former
being charged as principal in the
shooting and the latter as acces-
sorry. Coroner M. N. Johnson
held the inquest Sunday and
the verdict of the jury was that
the deceased came to his death
from the effect of a gun-shot
wound inflicted by a party un-
known.
The evidence which led to the
arrest Of the two White negroes
lis circumstantial. Walter White
was found with gun which had
been recently discharged, and his
father with shells loaded with
No. 1 shot, the same size shot
as those fired into the body of
the dead negro. Walter claimed
that he had shot at squirrel in
"a tree on the bank of Lynch's s
river and threw the shell down
on the ground near the tree. An
examination of the ground near
the tree disclosed the fact that
there was no empty shell there
and no shot marks in the tree.
Harvey Funderburk, the negro
that was in company with the
deceased when he was shot is q
lstep-son of Wriston White, and
lit is thought the fatal shot was
intended for Harvey.
