At an early hour this morning the Caughman bloodhounds from Columbia caused the arrest at Lugoff of the negro Philip Trapp, accused by a coroner’s jury of killing at Blaney last Sunday his stepdaughter, the widow of Jules Smith, who was shot in the affray several months ago at the Winnsboro court house.
The dogs trailed Trapp from Blaney to Lugoff, eight miles. THe prisoner was turned over to the sheriff of Kershaw county. The same dogs were used in the investigation of the train robbery on the Atlantic Coast Line at Ferrebee, between Charleston and Savannah, Friday night. They picked up the trail after 22 hours and their work resulted in the arrest of a suspect.
