The Aiken Reporter January 24, 1882
page 2

R.K. Scott, one of the carpet-bag scoundrels who devastated South Carolina when 
the bottom rail was on top and disgraced the State as he Governor for four 
years, some months ago shot a poor boy up in Ohio, an apothecaries clerk, while 
endeavoring to conceal his drunken son from disgraceful exposure. It seems 
however, that Ohio justice has allowed him to go scott free upon payment to the 
mother of the murdered boy of the pitiful sum of $500. Surely his South Carolina 
stealings would have warranted greater generosity to the poor mother, but we 
need not be astonished for Scott always was a close cunning fellow, stealing 
with on hand and hiding with the other.
