Fatal Shooting Near Dillon by Adopted Son
Hon. Sam Fields of the forty third district was shot and killed at his country home eight miles west of Dillon by his adopted son Dennis Taylor age twenty. Fields confronted Taylor over alleged neglect and a threatened whipping, prompting the boy to seize a shotgun and fire at close range. Fields collapsed, died on the scene, and Taylor surrendered to authorities. Fields left a wife, no children, and was known for wealth and influence. Taylor had been in an asylum two years earlier and returned to Fields afterward.
