Morgan tonight issued 4 brief state
ment outlining the purpose of his

MAN FOUND DEAD
NEAR LITTLETON

A white man, who up until last
night had not been identified, was
found dead in culvert on the Spar
tanburg division of the Southern rail
way, near Littleton, Fairfield county
yesterday. j. B. Scott, Richland cor
oner, was notified and proceeded rs
far as Bookman, en- route to the
scene, where he found out that the
body had been discovered about a
mile over in Fairfield county. There
fore as the case was out of his juris-
diction, he returned to Columbia, ask
ing Bookman people to notify the
Fairfield authorities.
While Coroner Scott did not see the
body, he talked with persons who
had viewed it, and was told that from
all appearances the man had been
hit by train and that the accident
had occurred several days ago. The
body had been under water and was
found yesterday when the stream un
der the culvert subsided.
Bookman people, with whom Mr..
Scott talked, said that the man was
not known to them. He was de-
scribed as having red hair but fur
ther than that Mr.. Scott obtained no
accurate description. Only a casual
investigation has so far been made,
but Mr.. Scott said apparently there
was no foul play.
AS the roads are in bad shape in
that community, the Fairfield coroner
could hardly make the trip to the
scene last night, it being late in the
afternoon when he was notified.-The
