POPPENHEIM S DEFENSE PLEA.
TWO NEGROES TESTIFY IV THE
SLAYER'S FAVOR.
According to Their Story. Brown
Made a Hostile Movement Before
He Was Shot— Then Mazyck Reaelt
ed for His (ion and Was Also Shot,
llitd Feeling Between Brown noil
His Slayer, But Mm? ok Was a
Friend of Both.
Charleston, S. C.. Jan. 7.-The Inquest
on the bodies of J. F. Brown and Stephen
Mazyck, who were shot yesterday by John
Poppenheim, near Otranto, about fifteen.
Wiles from here, was begun to-day by
Magistrate Whaley.
There seems to have been several col
ored witnesses to the killing. The testi
mony of two negroes, taken to-day, is to
the effect that Brown and Mazyck were
in a boat on Forsters' creek, they had
left their horses on Foppenhelm s land,
and he hailed them and told them to get
their animals, and quit his premises.
The witnesses said the boat was turned
toward shore and that Brown got up with
Ills gun and made as If to land, saying,
*'We might as well settle this now.” The
witnesses said the gun was raised, when
Poppenheim fired. Brown fell Into the
river dead.
Tile witnesses said that Mazyck then
reached for his gun and started up and
Copperhelm shot him. Mazyck fell into
the boat.
Brown was shot In the right side and
Mazyck In the forehead. Death must
have been Instantaneous.
Copperhelm gave himself up to the sher
iff of Berkeley county and has engaged
counsel.
The inquest was adjourned until Tues
day. as some witnesses could not be ob
tained
All the parties are well known and pop
ular men. There had been bad blood be
tween Popperbeim and Brown for some
time, but Mazyck was a friend tg both.
Wednesday's tragedy near Otranto, S.
C., an account of which appeared in the
telegraphic columns of the Morning Nows
yesterday, possesses an added local inter
est here from the fact that Mr. Mazyck,
ane of the gentlemen killed. Is a cousin of
Mr. T. P. Ravenel, the well-known law
yer of this city. The Charleston News
and Courier of yesterday publishes the fol
lowing account of the affair, which is
somewhat fuller than the one telegraphed
the Morning News:
"At 7 o'clock Wednesday morning a party
of gentlemen left Charleston via the
Northeastern railroad for a deer hum
on premises leased by the club to which
they belong. Wednesday night a sad party
returned. The crowd was Just two less
than when It started, and out In the cold
and lonely woods beyond Otranto two
corpses lay waiting for the formalities of
law to be observed before they could
even be given burial. A day that had be
gun with only the brightest prospects had
ended in a fearful tragedy. Two men
were dead, and a third, not a member of
the hunting party, however, was under
arrest, having surrendered tq the sheriff
of Berkeley county.
"The party that left the city for the
hunting grounds, near Otranto, consisted
of Messrs. L. F. Brown, Stephen Mazyck,
Fred McKay, H. Schlufter, Beaseley,
Gorse, George Douglas and two others.
They left the train at Otranto and from
there hunted for some miles up the creek.
About 1 o’clock Mr. Brown and Mr. Ma
zyck left the party. They had wounded a
buck and went on ahead of the crowd af
ter him. Some three or four miles above
Otranto the wounded deer plunged into
Goose creek and swan across. Messrs.
Brown and Mazyck were In sight when
the buck took to the waier, and as soon
as possible they got a small boat to cross
also and follow him. The land on the op
posite bank of the creek belonged to John
Poppenheim, and it seems as If he must
have been ready and on the outlook, for
as they neared the edge of the stream he
tired upon them. Mr. Brown was shot
first and fell dead into the creek Mr. Ma
zyck received the next shot and fell In the
boat. Seeing his work, Mr. Poppenheim
at once left the scene, and taking his bug
gy drove to Monck's Corner and surren
dered to the authorities of Berkeley coun
ty, telling them he had killed Brown and
Mazack ‘ln self-defense.'
The remainder of the hunting party did
not know of the tragedy until about 7
o'clock Wednesday night, when they came
up to the station at Otranto. Here they
found some colored men looking for them
■with the terrible news. It was too late
then for them to go back, and nothing
could be done anyway. Messrs. Brown
and Mazyck were dead and their slayer
■was in the hands of the law. The bodies
could not be removed until an Inquest
could be held, and so the return was made
to the city. A messenger was sent for
the coroner of Berkeley county, and Mr.
George Douglas went back to watch with
the dead, the others of the hunting party
taking the train for Charleston.
"While Mr. Poppenheim is reported as
saying that the shooting was in self-de
fense, there has been no authenticated
version of what took place between the
three men. There seems to have been no
witnesses to the tragedy, and the cause
of it is now only to be assumed. The
men, if they had not landed, could not
have yet trespassed on Poppenhelm's land,
and yet that is supposed to have been the
excuse for a quarrel. But all of tills may
come out at the inauest.
"Mr. Ladson F. Brown, one of the men
who will never return from the hunt, was
a prominent and popular business man
of this city. He was the proprietor of the
crockery and glassware establishment, 227
Meeting street. Mr. Brown was a middle
aged man, of geneial and kindly disposi
tion, and had scores of friends. He leaves
no family, and his only relative in this
city was his younger brotner, who was
engaged with him in the crockery busi
ness. Mr. Stephen Mazyck was a farmer
and had lived at 375 Rutledge avenue. He
was a young man and a prime favorite
amongst his companions and friends."
SYNAGOGUE COLLECTOR SHORT.
Ai tempt at Suicide Follow* the Dis
covery of the Discrepancy.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 7.—A sensation has
come to the surface In the financial af
fairs of the Jewish synagogue ip this city.
East Sunday the finance committee of the
thurch. after a thorough investigation,
discovered that L. S. Solomonson, who
i.ad been acting as collector for the con
gregation, was S3OO short in his accounts
wjth the church. Ho was accordingly
dropped, and there Is now a vacancy in
Jiis position.
Solomonson has been connected with the
> church for twenty years. When the col
lector realized that exposure was bound to
come and lie had to face the committee
with the shortage, which he was unable
to make up ;1 t the time, he became desper
ate and it is reported attempted to commit
suicide by taking a drug, but was discov
ered before it was too late to save him.
The matter has been kept quiet and
there will be no prosecution of the delin
quent collector, vho is expected to mate
good his shortage, though the matter has
cieated a sensation in the synagogue.
UN ADII.LA'S MURDERER LYNCHED.
A Mob Take* Him From the Lock-Up
nml Hangs Him.
Unadllla, Ga„ Jan. 7 Anthony Hender
son. the negro who was arrested Monday
night for the murder of old man George
Sumner and attempted an assault upon
his daughter, Christmas week, was lynch
ed here last night Henderson was ar
rested near Auburn, and brought here
yesterday for a preliminary trial. On his
arrival here he made a full confession of
the crime. During the night he was taken
from the town lock-up and hanged to a
tree within a stone's throw of the center
of the town.
The crime for which Henderson was
lynched occurred on the night of Dec. 27,
when old man George Sumner. living six
miles from T'nadilla, was murdered. The
murderer first set (ire to Mr. Sumner's
barn. The glare from the flames aroused
the old man and he rushed from the
house to protect his barn. As soon as he
emerged from the house he was shot
down, and then the murderer finished his
work by shooting him several times more.
While the old man was gasping his last,
the fiend entered the house and attempt
ed the assault on the young lady, who
had been aroused by the shooting.
The negro was identified by Miss Sum
ner, and a posse started In hot pursuit.
The chase was not abandoned till the
fiend was captured.
CALVIN'S ANTI-TRUST BILL.
The American Tobacco Company
Bow* lo the I. aw.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 7.—As a result of the
Calvin anti-trust bill passed by the last
legislature, the American Tobacco Com
pany, controlling the output of cigarettes
in thi3 country, and the Lorillard Snuff
Company, have notified jobbers in Geor
gia handling their goods that the con
tracts under which they have heretofore
been doing business are now declared off.
This leaves these houses free to handle
goods of other concerns if offered to them
and marks the breaking up of the reign
of the trusts in this state. Merchants in
other cities as well as Atlanta received the
same notice as sent to those here.
The Lorillard company includes Ala
bama and Florida in its order also, because
it was found that it would be necessary
to revoke their Iron-clad agreement In
those states, as well as in Georgia, In or
der to place all dealers on the same foot
ing in handling their goods. The Ameri
can Tobacco Company was the direct cause
of the Calvin act, which has. there
fore, quickly accomplished the purpose
for which it was intended—that is to open
the way for competition with that con
cern in the cigarette business.
STEAMER lOLA BURNED.
Fire Break* Out in Her Hold While
Docked at Carrabelle.
Carrabelle, Fla., Jan. 7.—The Gulf Ter

lola burned at her dock at Carrabelle last
night. The lola is the companion United
Slates mail steamer to the Crescent City,
the daily line between Carrabelle and Ap
alachicola, running in connection with the
Carrabelle, Tallahassee and Gulf railroad.
The steamer was discovered to be on fire
at about 7p. m. She was loosed from
her moorings and towed out into mid
stream, and the fire extinguished, after it
had gotten down to the hull. The extent
to which she Is damaged will not be known
until a survey is made. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but it appears to have
caught in the hold. The company have
insurance on the steamer, and she will be
rebuilt. The daily service between Car.

paired.

Quackery is always discov
ering remedies which will
act upon the germs of disease
c irectly and kill them. But
no discovery has ever yet
been approved by doctors
which will cure consump
tion that way. Germs can
only be killed by making the
body strong enough to over
come them, and the early
use of such a remedy as
Scott’s Emulsion is one of
the helps. In the daily war
fare man keeps up, lie wins
best, who is provided with
the needed strength, such as
Scott’s Emulsion supplies.
