Doomed Slayer Painter Denied Writ of Error
Fred Clifford Painter a 30 year old of 220% Clendenin Street was denied a writ of error by Circuit Judge Julian F Bouchelle. Painter one of two men sentenced to death for the death stomping of Edward C OBrien a Charleston soft drink salesman last July. Burdette was denied an appeal but later allowed by the State Supreme Court of Appeals. The case concerns whether the trial properly instructed on first degree murder versus manslaughter. The attack on OBrien occurred around midnight July 30 in the 300 block of Summers Street as he walked to visit a girl friend.
