The Asheville Tragedy.
The Negro Desperado Shot
to Death was a York County
Man and not the Noted
Will Harris.
Abbeville s; ecia! in Charlotte
Obseiver: The negro desperado
who shot to death t>vo police olliceis
and thrte negroes here Tuesday
night and who in turn was
killed by a posEe of citizens yesterday
afternoon, was identified
today by an Asheville negro as
Ruff k Lindsay. of York county,
S. C. This Asheville negro told
a coronor's jury this afternoon
that lie had known the desperado
for years ; that the man had
stayed at his house ; that he had
two sisters in South Carolina
and that he was positive he was
Ruff Lindsay. The Asheville
negro had not seen the desperado
- -
lor probably lour years and knew
nothing ot Ins wandering during
that time. It is believed here
that the negro ha* only recently
been discharged from the army.
He gave every indication of heing
familiar with fire arms and
and also tactics of the soldier.
Lie was a crack shot and knew
well the carrying qualities of the
gun he used.
Sheriff Wallace, of Mecklenburg,
and 'Squire J. 1*. Hunter,
of Charlotte, arrived here this
afternoon to view the body in
the hope of identifying the negro
as Will Harris. Mr. Hunter
after inspecting tlie corpse well
said that lie was satisfied that
the nin.il was nnt. Wilt llor-io
Turning to a friend, Mr. Hunter
said: 411 would give $25 to be
able to say that he is Will Harris.
" Sheriff Wallace saw in
tl.e deid body some resemblance
to Harris. The muscular build;
the color of skin and size tallied
with Harris, but other face
features did not. Both the
Charlotte gentlemen positively
identified the woman, l'earl,
who was with the negro on the
night ot the killing, as not Pearl
Houston, the alleged^-ife of Will
Harris.
