I didn't pull my pi>tol at all. Mr. Crawf -rd returned two shots-. I walked on out of the gate and he followed me." Ia answer to the question by Toe State's reporter, Doru said that Mrs. Stuart fell backward almost in the j door. Constable J. B. Coleman's story of j the fight was as follows: coleman's statement. "When we reached Mrs. Stuart's house Mrs. Stuart's little gi:l met us at the gate. We told the little girl our business. Her mother came to the door and we-told her?that is, Crawford told her?that we were State constables and wanted to search the house. She said that we had a very low position. "We went through the gate and on the steps. She refused to let us in the house, and locked the door. "Mr. Crawford told her that we were State constables and would be obliged to search the house. She refused us again and then asked us , to wait until her husband came if we were determined to search. We did wait. "When he (Stuart) came, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Dorn were in the back yard. She and her little chil\ dren, two or three of them, and myself were standing on the piazza. She told the children 'to go in the house; I see your papa coming, and , I know he will be mad.' She un- ( locked the door and the little children and herself walked into the room. She was locked on the outside of the house until Mr. Stuart 1 came up the steps. When Mr. Stuart 1 came up the steps he spoke to me 1 and asked what I wanted. I told ' him that I was a State constable and < that Mr. Crawford was in the yard, 1 who had charge of the men and 1 would talk to him. By that time 5 Mr. Crawford came up, told him who 5 he was; that he had a search war- ^ rant and wanted to search the house. ( "Mr. Stuaifcsaid: 'Well, you can't ? search it; you nor no other man.' ? Mr tnlrl him Vio thrmoht. ( *?** V/A M ft V? ?V*v? Uftuw MV * he was wrong; that we were officers * and were obliged to discharge our * duties. He told him that his bouse * had been reported to us as having * liquor in it for sale; that we would have to search the governor s house if it was reported to us. "Mr. Stuart said: Tf you search it, you will have to search it over my dead body.' "They multiplied words something similiar to this for some time, and Mr. Crawford called Mr. Stuart a fool. Mr. Stuart told Crawford he was a damn fool. Mr. Crawford then slapped him. I got between them as quick as I could and asked them not to have any trouble, and I push ed Mr. Crawford back over on the piazza. By that time Mrs. Stuart opened the door. I still had hold of Crawford. "She walked right in front of the door. Mr. Stuart went in the house behind her and shot his pistol from behind and around her. Mr. Crawls ford bred. Mr. Stuart fired the ' V second time. Mr. Crawford fired W his second shot and hit Mrs. Stuart, j i "I can't tell whether there were i any more shots fired on the piazza or j < not. I started down the steps and Mr. Crawford followed. I walked straight on to the gate. Just before ( I got to the gate I heard another | pistol fire. I looked around and there were two or three more shots from the house. Crawford shot two j or three more times in direction cf | the house. "That is about all I know. We i came on up town." Coleman said he did not see Craw- j ford strike Stuart with his pistol j after slapping his face. The first he j saw of Crawford's pistol was after j Stuart had gone into the house and j before the first shot was fired. Crawford struck Stuart twice. The j first time I know he didn't hit hira | with his pistol, but the second time j he struck I had my side to him. STATE CF SIEGE After the warrants had been taken out the sheriff went to the door around which the crowd was packed, j He made an appeal to them to dis- j . perse. He said that he desired to J say to them that he bad arrested these men in his official character as sheriff. It was due to their votes that he had been placed in the posi- j tion of an officer of the law, and he | hoped they would uphold him in tb6 j performance of his duty. At this point he was interrupt* d j with calls cf "Biing them cut, j ' Bring them cut." ''Play bali!" ami . a bedlam of calls aDd whoops. When he was able to be beard Sheriff Cathcait continued that it i I was his bounded duty to protect these ! men, and under the oath of bis office , he would do eo to the best of his j power. As he concluded there weie other cries of ' Bring them cu !" At one time it was thought that l, the men could be slipped from the rear door of the office and spirited to the jail without the cognizance of the i crowd, but a few whoops from the back of the office showed that this ! plan would be futile of execution. ! At 11 o'clock the Gove rnor's* Guards, under command of Captain B. B. McCreery, arrived and were greeted ! with miDgled howls of derision and cheers. A short time afterwards the Kichland Volunteers, with Captain W. N. Kirkland at their head, arrived to reinforce the Guards. The militia pressed back the crowd and remained posted ss a cordon around the door. Mrs. Stuart died last Sunday from the effects of th9 wounds received the day previous, at the hospital at 5:30 p. m , aDd was buried from her late home on Monday, the interment taking place at Elmwood cemetery. Corocor Green held an inquest. The jury after hearing the testimony of three witnesses (which differs very little from that given out on the evening of the shooting except that of the little girl) signed the following verdict: "We the undersigned jurors fiDd that one Mrs. John M. Stuart, came to her death from a gunshot wound inflicted by the hand of one W. 11. Crawford, willfully and maliciously, and that J. C. Dorn, J. B. Cooley and J. B. Coleman, are accessories to the crime/' That part of the little girl's second statement which materially differs from the first is as follows: "The tall man with the black moustache then knocked father down. Father got up and the tall man with the black mustache then shot father. Father fell and drew his pistol and fired once. Tall man with black mustache was still shooting. Then mother fell on her knees, picked up the pistol that father had shot and 3hot three times." AT THE STATE PRISON. Cjnstable3 Crawford, Dorn, Coleman and Cooley are not in close confinement at the penitentiary. They ivere placed there principally for prelection, and have comfortable quarters. They are granted the liberty of ;he yard, but of course are kept mder surveillance. Dorn and Cooley ?eem very much worried over the jituation, especially when told of the rerdict of the coroner's jury, for they lo not like the idea of being held as tccessoiies. Mr. Coleman does not ;eem to be much excited. Mr. Urawford is in the quarters assigned ,o the penitentiary guards. He is in aed, suffering with his left arm, ;hrough which a bullet passed. The >all passed through the arm, coming jut on the side nearest his body, and creaking the smaller bone. The ?hot was evidently fired at short range, for the sleeve of his coat is scorched. His clothes show other marks of bullets. His vest was opeD, le says, and a bullet struck just beow the lower pocket on the left side, making a glancing shot. The coat >how8 a similar rent, though the ho'e s smaller. In answer to the question if he vas drunk at the time of the sbootng Mr. Crawford said that he was aot. That he had not taken a drink "or about six weeks. Re admitted ihat at his room at the Adams boarding house he took a drink to lull the pain in his arm. He stated this in mswer to an inquiry if he had not been seen drinking by Sergeant Jones nocl Deputy Sheriff Coleman. He expressed regret over th? death of Mrs. Stuart. WHO CRAWFORD IS Sheriff MeCravy of Laurens says, that he was raised up with Mr. Crawford. That the latter was a 'power for Democracy in 1S7G. He has been cn raids with Crawford, and always found him quiet and uncxcitable. On account of his temperate and regular habits he is known among his familiars as "old maid." In reply to the statement that he had been engaged in difficulties before, Crawford said that there were but two occasions when he was in the neighborhood. When John Nicbolls was killed in Greenville by constables he was not within half a mile. When Sim?, the white man was killed in Spartanburg, he did not reach the scene until Sims was dead. Messrs. Blease and Blease of Newberry and Saluda have been retained as attorneys for Coleman and Cooley. The others have cot retained counsels. DID HE SKI J. LIQl'OK? The friends of Mr. J. M. Stuart at first refused to believe that he sold whisky. C .nstable Crawford said that he could prove that Mr. Stuait was engaged in the illicit sale of liquor, but he refused to give the name of the informant. He seemed to think that doing so would be a violation of professional etiquette. It is stated that Mr. Stuart last year had a license from the Uuited States government to sell liquor. There were over 800 of these liceuses when the original package bouses were in existence. The license is said to have been in the name of "Stuart & Coyer." The dispeusaiy law in section 17 says that the holding of such a license is prima facie evidence of violation of the dispensary law. Cut that was last \ear. ; The records show that only four such | licenses in Columbia have been granted this jear. j The latest report says that Mr. Stuarts condition is though not necessarily daDgerous. His tongue, ' mouth and throat are much swollen. % The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25tb; rebuilt July 19, 1S94. G. M. RAHMAN. I-Mitor ar.-l I'lih'i^hor. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. MARCH 1. 1890. The deplorable and regretable I tragedy which occurred in Columbia j laBt Saturday night, has sent a thrill I of horror into theroines of the peo' pie of this State. It certainly was a very unfortunate affair, and is made more so when the exercise of a little judgment and coolness could have averted the ti agedy and the life of the wife spared to the husband and the mother's love and miuistrations continued to the children. Our warmest and deepest sympathy goes out to the stricken husband and mother less children whoso loved one has been so ruthlessly and so cruelly torn from the home were a short time before her life's blood stained her home with its crimson flow, there was not the semblance of warning j that the wings'of death overshadowed it. We give in this issue the statements of the constables who 6tand charged with the murder: that of tb^little gril of Mrs. Stuart and that of the negro Isreal. This is not now the time nor place for us to comment upon the evidence. It is in the province of the court to do this and in doing it, let exact justice be done. Another deplorable tragedy occurred in Columbia last night and as a result one young man has been stricken down in the prime and bloom of his manhood by gunshot wounds at the hands of another young man who now languishes in jail and two homes are overshadowed with the pall of mourning and sorrow. List night young Willie Meetze, son of our former fellow townsman, Mr. W. B. Meetze, shot and killed young Alex Cartledge. Meetze twitted Cartledge who had just received his commission as State constable, with being a dispensary spy; blows followed and several pistol shots rang out and Cartledge fell pierced by three balls. Cartledge was removed to the hospital, where he died in a few hours and Meetze surrendered to Sheriff Cathcart. It is reported that Germany has withdrawn all her battleships from Manila and vicinity and asked the Americans to protect the interest of Germany's subjects in the Philippines. ,S. T Poineer has been appointed postmaster at Spartanburg. Aguinaldo, it is said, is inclined to accept pacific overtures.

A Cnoafimnar nf the MflSt n I VI VI UIII1VI va ... Fatal Disease. Though its offensive features!1 are sometimes almost unbearably few people are aware of the danger of which Catarrh is the forerunner. Catarrh invariably leads to Consumption. Growing worse and worse each winter, those who rely upon the usual treatment of sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures find that it is impossible toj check the disease with these local applications which only reach thesurface. The offensive discharge increases all the while, causing a feeling of personal defilement, and 1 gets deeper and deeper until it is' only a question of a short time until the lungs are affected. The importance of the proper j treatment can therefore bp readily! appreciated. Rut no good what-' ever can be expected from local i applications, as such treatment never did cure Catarrh, and neyer! will. j J; CURE ALL YOUR PAINS WITH I. |Pain-Ki!ler.| ??i A Yedicina Chest In Itself. ? ? ^ X Simple, Safe and Quick Cure for *?: pj CRAMPS, DIARRHOEA, COUGHS, x g COLDS, RHEUMATISM, p NEURALGIA. | p 25 and 50 cent Bottles. y ^ BEWARE OF IMITATIONS- ^ p BUY ONLY THE GENUINE 3* PERRY DAVIS' X ? i-: S.
