JohuNon, who was Well Known in Abbeville Connty, Shot W. T. Bellinger in Bnmbnrff Last Friday. The State. IV' . . "Trouble between the two began yesterday over the painting of a line fence between the premises of John R. Bellinger, father of the deceased, and the Baptist parsonage, at which time it is said hot words were passed and a pistol was drawn by Bellinger. "This morning as young Bellinger was returning from the post office to his father's residence Mr. Johnson, armed with a double barreled shot gun, dccosted him Id front of the Carlisle tilting school, a few words were passed, a few shots were exohanged and yonng BelliDger lay dying on the ground with a smoking pistol In bis right hand. "After the shooting occured Mr. Johnspn walked quietly into his bouse, unhurt, and remained there until about 1 o'clock when be went down to the jail and surrended to sheriff Hunter. "As to how the affair started this morning and as to who shot first there is considerable diversity of opinion, but it is generally claimed that Mr. Bellinger shot first and that Mr. Johnson only shot occe. Bellinger's pistol shot four times, twice at least after he bad fallen mortally wounded. Bellinger was struck in the right side by twelve buck and eight small shot, whicb penetrated bis lungs and liver, causing almost instant death. "Tbe families connected with the unfortunate affair are two of the mo6t prominent and influential in the town." A report of the proceedings of the coroner's Inquest appears in The State as follows: . "The coroner's Jury held the Inquest this evening. The first and principal witness was Air. Joe Brown. He testified that b6 went to the Iiev. Mr. Johnson's bouse thl6 morning to see him relative to some trouble Johnson bad tin- previous day with the deceased's father, John It. Bellinger. Esq., was told by Mr. Johnsou that he had been badly treated by Mr. Bellinger ;*did not advise him as to what course to take . "They then went to the post office together. "To the question of Solictor Townsend as to whether he got a pistol at the post office, he replied that ho had. Did not know to whom it belonged. 'Was in my buggy wben I saw Willie T. Bellinger crossing campus of fitting school and Mr. Johnson coming out of ills house, opposite, having a shot eun. Mr. Bellinger drew his pistol and fired at Mr. Johnson once before the latter fired.' Thinks the second shot from Mr. Bellinger's pistol was simultaneous with the report of Mr. Johnson's shot gun. Mr. Bellinger fell Immediately, and witness thinks be was shot one* after he fell. "Upon being questioned Mr. Brown replied that he provided himself with the pistol on account of trouble he expected at his place with a hand. "Mr. Johnson returned to his house after the trouble was over. "Several more minor witnesses were examined. "Dr. K. I). Branson testified that upon being called to the place of the trouble Mr. Bellinger lived about thirty seconds or a minute longer. "I knew he was mortally wounded; found twenty wounds on his right side, twelve from buckshot, the remainder from smaller shot, penetrating the right lung and liver." "Col. Kobert Aldrlcb, retained by the d?fendant, was present at the inquest. "The verdict of the jury was that deceased came to bis death by a gunshot wound at the hands of W. K. Johnson."
