BARNARD B. EVANS BEHIND THE BARS.
Tho dispatches bout out from Colum
bia lato Saturday afternoon announcing
thc killing of ('apt. J. J. Griffin in the
room of Major 1). 13. Kv an s gavo a sui
priso and shook to all. lt was moro stir
prise at tho occurrence of au event that
might bo oxpected at any timo than at
its possibility. These who have known
Mr. Kvans personally, or have watched
ovon casually Iiis carcor for tho past few
years, will liavo no reason for surprise
boyond that commonly experienced
when tho expected happens. There
were no eye-witnesses to this lamentable
tragedy, and whether Kvans Hied the
fatal shot, or, as he claims, Griffin put
an ond to his own lifo, may never be
known. Tho testimony brought out at
tho coroner's inquest looks decidedly in
favor of the theory that Grifllu mot (loath
at tho hands of Kvans. Mad Kvans been
himself-in other words, had ho been
sober-wo do not behove the tragedy
would have taken place. His greatest
weakness is his fondness for whiskey,
and when under its influence ho is not
himself. Kvans sober is a gentleman;
Kvans drunk ls-anything oise. What
ho was before ho entered polities we do
not profess to know. For several years
ho has dabbled freely in polities and
moro freely in whiskey. Naturally tal
ented, ho has thrown away many oppor
tunities that another would have eagerly
grasped. His family connection and in
tinonee are such that, had ho seen Ht to
make a proper use of them, his I ut ure
would have been blight. He has been
constantly '"dropping the substance and
grasping at Shadows." The uso and
abuse of whiskey has put him behind
tho bars. He has placed himself in the
position of a "horrible example" for the
young men of the Slate. Let us hope
that many who are traveling lb?' same
road Evans has traveled will draw a los
son from his experience and change their
course. There aro those holding posi
lions of honor ami trust in the Slate gov
ernment who may profit by Kvans' down
fall. The final outcome ot this tragedy
will bo awaited with interest by the
whole state, 'flu! two most damning
inlhienees at work in the country - whis
key and tho ever-ready pistol-have as
Usual figured prominently in the adair
lt would ho well for every mau lo give
careful thought to the danger he runs in
tampering with whiskey; it would be
well for him to consider the fuel thal lie
who, as a privat** citizen, habitually car
ries a pistol is a coward-if not physi
cally, then morally.

Columbia, ?April 13.-Capt;. John J.
Griffin, Commercial Agent of tho Norfolk
?& Wcatorn Railroad, with headquarters
iu this city, waa k!H?d thia afternoon io
tho room of Major B.' Ii. Bvans. Kvans
was arrested and placed in jail to await
tho verdict of tho corner's jury.
INCIDENTS OK TN K T It AO KI) Y.
Capt. c?iiliu and Major Kvans woro in
tho latter's room and had evidently boon
drinking togothor. Tho first known of
tho tragedy was when Major Evans
rushed out of lils room and wont to tele
phone for a physician. Mooting ouo on
tho street ho carried him lo tho room.
Thoro on tito lloor lay Capt. Griffin
broathing bis last, with a -M-calibro pis
tol bullet, fired from Major livens' pistol,
in his left breast. Tho physician, Dr.
Gibbes, informed Major Evans that tho
wound was mortal, mid tho latter turned
upon him in a frenzy. Tho physician
attributes his escaping to his coolness.
Ho went to tho street and sonta police
man to tho room. Thoro it was found
that Major Kvans had lookod himsolf in,
and it was only after friendly persuasion
that ho oponed tho door and submitted
to arrest.
Capt. Griffin died about tho timo tho
police gained ad m i tl ance to tho room.
Tho appearance of tho room indicated a
struggle, tho dead man's face being
bruised, and thoro was blood upon his
stick. Tho shot was fired front Major
Kvans' pistol, but Kvans claims that
Griffin killed himsolf. Major Kvans re
fused to talk after being taken to jail.
Ho is a brother of former O o vernor John
Cary Kvans, and his family is ono of tho
most prominent in youth Carolina. Tho
arrest of Major Kvans subsequently cre
ated a pronounced sensation.
Tho two meit woro alono and occu
pants of adjoining apartments woro at
dinner. Major Kvans summoned a
physician, saying that a mau was hurt
in his rooms. Dr. lt. W. Gibbes found
Capt. G ri Alu lying in a dying condition
and speechless on Major Kvans' bed. A
.llcalihro Colt's revolver bullet .had
entered just above tho left nipple.
When Dr. Gibbes announced that
G rifll t) was dying, ho doola ros that Kvans,
who had been drinking heavily, becamo
wildly excited and exclaimed that Dr.
Gibbes lied; thal Dr. Gibbes and not he
himself had killed G ri (ll lt, Tho physi
cian, under pretext of replacing a broken
instrument, managed to get out of tho
room, although Kvans declared that ito
should not do so.
Dr. Gibbes suWmotiod police and they
were refused admittance until .Judge'
Kniest Gary, a cousin of Kvans, arrived j
and demanded admittance and submis
sion to tito ollieers. Kvans s'ruek Judge
Gary and was taken to jail in a state of
hysteria, having declared that Griffin
had taken his own lifo.
TU H Y HAI) UK KN IMUNKtNO.
In tho room wero evidences of tho
fact that ono or both of tho men had
been drinking Aside from this thoro is
no reason why G ri flin should have killed
himself or that Kvans should have shot
him.
The dead man's face was bruised oil
hot h sides and t here was an abrasion of
the skin on the bridge of tho nose. His
walking cane, clotted with blood, was
several foot from whore blinni marks
indicated that the fatal shot had taken
effect. Tito right forearm of the dead
man showed powder burns, but none
were visible in the neighborhood of tho
wound. These circumstances would
Boom damaging to the theory of self
destruction.
SHOUT UlSTOItV OK THK TWO MEN.
Capt. Gi ibu served in tho Confederate
army with a company from .Macon, Ga.,
and after tho war entered the railroad
service. Ile had held tho position of

Tho physician who mado tho post-mor

Dr. Gibbos oilt and said ho was trying to
kill tho man and ho had given him an
injection and thrown tho syringe away,
and ho wanted Dr. Gibbes to get out. Dr.
Gibbos told him if he did not want him

"Ile said ho wanted a doctor, hut did
not want Dr. Gibbes, Wo told him wo
woidd got any doctor ho wanted. I asked
him how Dr. Knowlton would do, and ho
said he did not want him. Then 1 called
Dr. l'hilpot's name, and ho said that ho
would do, 1 stopped to tho room door
to send for Dr. Philpot. 1 saw Dr. Kish
burno in tho hall and asked Evaus if ho
would ?lo, and ho said 'no,' he knew
nothing about him, 1 saw Ollicor Scott
and sent him after Dr. Philpot. In a
very few minutes Dr. Philpot carno. Wo
opened the door and Dr. Gibbes came Iii
with him.
"Major livens ordered Dr. Gibbes out
again and told him to 'get out of tho

Gibbos. Dr. Gibbes said ho was there
and was going to remain, and called on
us to protect him. Wo told him to rc
main and wo, as oflicors, would pro
toot him, Ile told Major Evans ho had
taken enough off of him and ho was
going ahead with his work, and it had to
stop. They carno very near getting into

DIDN'T WANT PHILPOT KITIIKU.
"Dr. Philpot walked around and felt
the wounded man's pulse and pronounced
him dying, and Kvans ordered him Ont of
the room. Meantime wo took Mr. Evana
out. We had to humor him a good deal
and coax him, Uko you would with

The New Ten-Dollar Bill.
Washington, April 15.-Assistant Sec
retary Ailes has approved a new design
for a $10 United Slates note. Tho en
gravers have spent some time in making
the design, which is considered a most
artistic one. In line with the determina
tion of the Treasury Department lo nive
emblems to notes and silver eertiticates,
tho buffalo is the emblem of tho new
note. The picture was made from a pho
tograph of tho stuffed b?llalo in tho
National Museum. On each side of tho
bnl?alo aro portraits of Lewis and ( lark,
the explorers. The denomination of tho
bill is printed in largo red letters, with
tho letter \ crossing tho letters. These
are tho distinguishing marks of the new
bill, wliich will probably attract much
attention, and is likely to bp pallod the
" Buffalo Hill."
