Thomas M. Dodd, aged follower of I .oe and Jackson through thc valley of tho shadow of do'tth. and victim of .i dastardly and mysterious assault lalo Saturday afternoon in the little grocery shop on Eait Hampton street, where he calmly awaited the Kunset of life amid Iii- humble surroundings, succumbed to his Injuries at 12:40 o'clock 'this morning at the Anderson County Hospital, where he lay In a stupor from the time he was operat ed upon Saturday afternoon in an ?(fort to save his life. Was l'iiroiisrlouH. Mr. Dodd way In an unconscious state when discovered lying in the floor of his Htore. and remained in this condition until he dlod thin morning. He wus at no time ablo to speuk or .zlvo any ono any word of descrip tion of his assailant. . Thc aged man was 77 year3 of agc cn Sunday, the day after he was as saulted. He wus struck some four times over the head with a brick. Ile waB struck once over either eye. once ove rthe left ear and once in the back of tho head. His skull was fearfully broken by the blows, and lt is considered ; emarkable that he lasted as long as ho did. No Funeral Pinns. At the time The Intelligencer went to press this morning no plans for Mr. Dodd's. funoral had been made. It is supposed that those matters will be arranged tome limo this morning. , The crime is one of tho most das tardly that ha 4 been committed in the city since Duvid I lotto, another aged man, war mysteriously, killed under similar circumstances hore several yours ago. No one was ever convict ed of Hutt.)'.; Death. '?wo Suspects Held. As a result of rigid investigations into the murder of Mr. Dodd, Sheriff Ashley and Deputy Sheriff Sanders have lodged In tho county Jail two negroes who arc suspocted of either being implicated in the crime or of knowing mn c about it than they have ns yet told. Those negroes are Wil llo Chapman, aged li) years, and P. L. Hu rr ls?, aged ?ft years. The evidence against these tw*> is rather weak, 'or at leusi lt hos that appearance now. ft may be that with further Investi gation thc evidence against them will bo strengthened. Willie Chapman was placed under irrest Sui.dav morning, ho-being ap prehended in the vicinity of the Gluck Mille. His arrest followed on the heels of a statoment, said to have been made by negro girls, to the effect that they saw Chapman near the intersection of Hampton and McDuffle streets be tween ? and 6 o'clock Saturday after noon, which ls supposed to be about tho hour Mr. Dodd vas assaulted. Tell Conflicting Stories. Chapman denies that he was In that vicinity Saturday afternoon, but did not como any farther up the street than the Cromer concrete store build ing, which sits about two blocks south ot the Intersection of Hampton Streets with McDuffio street. Chapman has told a number of conflicting stories. Some of thea? stories the officers have Investigated, with the result that thev were found to be without foundation In fact. Because of the report that Chapman was seen '.n tho vicinity of Hampton. and Mc Duffle streets and because of the con flicting stories he tells the officers believe that be knows something about the case. ' Chapman is said to be a coal passer at the Cluck Mills. P. L. Barr?as Arrested. P. lt. Burrlss was arrested Sunday by Captain Bell ot the city police force, but was turner1, loose after the officer had satisfied himself that the negro knew nothing about the mat ter. ' Monday afternoon Sheriff Aahley re-arrested the negro and placed him In the county Jail. ' Murrias works in the linter room of the People's Oil and Fertilizer Company's oil mill, and lives near Cleveland avenue. Hurries wap ar rested on the strength of conflicting stories which he baa told. A negro named Joe Clark, who also worka at the oil mill, states that ho heard Mur rias say he saw Mr. Dodd when h fell "n the floor of his atore. Joe Clark told another negro. Artls Mrown. and this negro told Mr. Levi N. Geer, the manager bf the mill. Upon..being placed under arrest Bnrrlss told a different story. He said that his statement about the af fair was misconstrued. He says that he saw Mr. Dodd Disced In an auto mobile, after he was injured, and drl<J?n away to the hospital. He de nies having told anyone that he saw Mr. Dodd fall. If? Further Arrests. No other arrests had been made hy the officers up until a late hour teat hight, though the authorities have other clues on which they are work ing ead on the r/rength of which oth er arresta will probably fpllow short ly. ^ ? Capt. Bell tl the city police force arrested another negro Sunday, but later turned him loose, after satisfy ing himself that the negro knew noth ing, of the ?ff?lr.
