Found in The State 06 July 1921:Special to The State-Laurens, July 5-Greenwood officers who spirited the negro slayer of Dr. Lipscomb out of Greenwood this afternoon to avoid possible mob violence arrived in Laurens shortly after 6 o'clock. They also had with them the negro who the murderer is said to have forced to carry him out of Ninety-Six in a car and who is said to have informed the officers of the slayer's identity. The prisoners were lodged in the county jail until some repairs could be made on the officer's car. Then accompanied by Sheriff Reid, the party proceeded toward Spartanburg or Greenville. Deputy Sheriff Owings and four rural policemen who went to the scene of the tragedy after first going to Saluda and vicinity to assist in the man hunt returned here tonight. Dr. Lipscomb was a brother-in-law of W. D. Byrd and was related to many other Laurens people. Dr. Lipscomb was for nearly 20 years a resident of Columbia and for 15 years was the owner and proprietor of the drug store that still bears his name. Coming to Columbia as a young man he accepted a position as pharmacist at the state penitentiary under Dr. D. S. Pope and Col. D. J. Griffith, who was then superintendent of the penitentiary. He also worked for a time in Fisher's Drug store, later going into business on his own account establishing Lipscomb's drug store near the post office. In 1913, his health failing, he sold his business interest to the Wingfield drug store and moved to Ninety-Six, his former home, to take up life on his farm. Dr. Lipscomb was married to Miss Sallie Cathcart of Columbia, who with three brothers and a sister, all of Ninety-Six, survives him. Dr. Lipscomb was a consistent and faithful member of the First Baptist church during his life in Columbia and prior to moving to Nintey-Six had been for several years a deacon in this church.
