HAMLET, N.C., Feb. 27. — A coroner's jury today exonerated Deputy Sheriff Brown, of Richmond county, North Carolina, and a posse composed of a Hamlet policeman and three Marlboro county, South Carolina, officers from blame in the death of Colin McIntosh, who was shot and killed in a raid on a moonshine still on the State line six miles from Hamlet early this morning. A brother-in-law of McIntosh named Fry was captured by the officers, it is said, while making off with the still, and three other moonshiners opened fire on the raiders and attempted to free him. No one else was hurt.
