Killing Near Clinton
Joseph C. Strader, on of the most subsentantial business men of Clinton and Anderson county, member of the livery firm of Wallace & Strader, was found murdered by the public roadside six miles south of Clinton Tuesday afternoon about 3 o'clock by a passerby. Life had fled, by the body was yet warm. A deep fracture at the vase of the skull silently told the tale of an awful crime.
Railroad Foreman Hammond, of the Eubanks, Underwood & Co., railroad camps, is now lying in Anderson county jail charged with the deed.
Hammond has confessed, but claims he killed Strader as a result of a quarrel in self defense. He hit his victim with a piece of railing.
