jury Charges Murder.

Gaffney, Nov. 21.-Frank and
Floyd Kirby, whose mutilated bodies
were found in Blue Branch Creek, six
miles from here Saturday afternoon,
came to their death at the hand OF
Roy Henderson, was the verdict OF
the coroner's jury at the inquest COM

Henderson, 16-year-old youth, who
is alleged to have done the killing,

lodged in the Cherokee county jail.
The youth had gone to the home OF
farmer at Butler and having secured
lodging, was preparing to retire when
the officers made the arrest. No
statement had been obtained from
him tonight concerning the killing.
According to the story given to Of
ficers, Henderson IS alleged to have
enticed Frank and Floyd Kirby away
from home Saturday afternoon to go
hunting. When near the creek in
which the bodies were found, it is al
legged, he shot the smaller boy, blow
ing off the right hand and top of the
head, then caught the older boy and
beat him over the head with his gun
until he was dead, after which he
threw them into a deep hole Of water
It was learned tonight from officers
that Henderson denied the killing af-
ter his arrest. He is quoted as saying
that he left Frank and Floyd at GER
tain point after they went out hunt
ing with him. After parting with
the boys, he told officers, he was fired
upon by a negro. When asked how
his gun, which was found in two
pieces near the scene of the killing,
was broken, he is said to have claim
ed that when the negro fired at him
he fell, breaking the gun as he went
to the ground.
