C. ?^( e Killing of Mr. TrayiicK t Believed Feasible Mr. Mcluish's Bullet Indicted Fatal Wound. the Editor of The State: In view of the fact that many jounts of the.killing of Mr Wal Traywick at Cheraw on the 1 of January have been publied in various nowspapers, both this stato and inNorth Carolina of which are uiore or less in nirato and misleading and all of* Mil without exception doing Mr. ilntosh groat injustice and placid him in n very false and painful sition,l beg in justico to Mr Mc tosh, to publish the following :ount of the matter: I was are at the time and therefore eak with full knowledge of the iolo occurrence. On the afternoon in question Mr clntosh was (shooting sparrows the ground back of the depot. 10 ground at the point is an ep* field running off level for a ig distance, dropping off rather arply into a valley. Mr. Trayck had gone to examine some a her. It was in this valley Mr. aywick received the fatal ?und. Owing to the formation the ground,"a-^ person at that int could not be seen from lere Mr. Mclntoih was standing, ing hidden by the hill. The gun used by Mr Mcintosh is a Mnall 22 calibre rifle and s cartridges were 22 shorts. )w the distance from where Mr clntosh was standing to the int where tho first mark of 3od was found in the valley is, actual measurement, 250 yards d, as there ^ was no external morrhuge,the point at which Mr aywick was wounded must have an some distance beyond the ;t blood marks, which was spit from the lungs. MrTraywick Iked before'falling from ^where was woundedTto withnTabeut /TA ' ' * * * or <uyaru8 ox] the railroad ick. Iho ball that infiioted the und entered hie right side, near ) collar bone,ranging downward ough both lungs and^lodged in i liver on the left'side, having ised through two thicknesses of coat, where the collar was ded over, through the collar 1 body of the vest and through 3 slurts. Now, in view of the great penation of the bullet and the long tance, it is incredible that ould have been 6red by Mr. '.Intosh; a 22 short could lot ry 250 yards; and taking into isideration the romarkable penation of the ball it becom an impossibility, The probability is Mr. Trayck wub accidentally^shot whilo in near the outskirts of the woods someno hunting in the woods.
