BARNARD B. EVANS BEHIND THE BARS.
Tho dispatches sent out from Colum
bia lato Saturday afternoon announcing I
tho killing of Capt. J. J. Griffin in tito |
room of Major li. B. EvaiiB gavo a BUI
pri80 and shook to all. lt was moro sur
priso at tho occurronco of au ovont that
might bo oxpoctod at atty timo than at
it? possibility. Thoso who havo known
Mr. KvauB porsonally, or havo watchoil
ovon casually his career for tho past fow
years, will havo no reason for Burprise
boyond that commoidy oxporionccd
when tho oxpoctod happens. There
wero no oyo-witnesses to this lamontahlo
tragedy, and whether Evans Hied the
fatal shot, or, as he claims, Griffin put
an end to his own lifo, may novor be
known. Tho testimony brought out at
tho coroner's inquest looks decidedly in
favor of tho theory that Griffin met death
nt tho hands of Evans, Had Evans been
himself-in othor words, had ho been
sobor-wo do no*, beliovo tho tragedy
would havo taken place. His greatest |
woaknoss is his fondness for whiskey,
and when under its inlluoiico ho is not
himself. Evans sober is a gentleman;]
Evans drunk is-anything oise. What
ho was before ho entered polities wo do
not profess to know. Kor several years j
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
fluence aro such that, had ho seen lit lo
mako a proper uso of thom, his future
would havo been bright, Ho has boon
constantly "dropping tho substance mid
grasping at shadows." The uso and
abuse of whiskey has put him behind
the bars. He has placed himself in the
position of a "horrible example'" for the
young men of tho State. Lot us hope
that many who aro traveling tho same
road Evans has traveled will draw a los
Bon from his experience and change their
course. There are those holding posi
Mons of honor and trust in the State gov
ernment who may prollt by Evans' down
fall. The final outcome of this tragedy
will ho awaited with interest by the
whole State. The two most damning
influences at work in tho country-whis
key and tho ovor-roady pistol-have as
usual figured prominently in the affair
It would lie well for every man to jjivo
careful thought, to the danger he runs in
tampering with whiskey; it would he
well for him to consider the fact that lie
who, as a private citizen, habitually car
ries a pistol is a coward-if not physi
cally, then morally,

Columbia, April 18.-Cap?;. John J.
Uriffln, Commercial Agent of the Norfolk
& WcBtoru Railroad, with headquarters
in this eity, was killed this afternoon in
the room of Major ?. II. Evans. Evans
was arrostod aud placod in jail to await
tho verdict of tho cornor's jury.
INC1DKNTS OF TICK TKAOKUY.
Capt. Griffin mid Major Evnus woro in
tho latter's room aud had evidently boon
drinking togothor. Tho first known of
tho tragedy was when Major Evans
rushed out of Ids room and went to tele
phone for a physician. Mooting ono on
tho street ho carried him to tho room.
There on tho floor lay Capt. Griflln
breathing his last, with a <i4-calibro pis
tol bullot, fired from Major Evans' pistol,
in his left breast. Tho physician, Dr.
GibboB, informed Major Evans that tho
wound was mortal, and tho latter turned
upon him in a frenzy. Tho physician
attributes his escaping to his coolness.
Ho wont to tho stioot and sont a police
man to tho room. Thoro it was found
that Major Evans had lookod himsolf in,
and it was only after friendly persuasion
that ho oponed tho door and submitted
to arrest.
Capt. Griflln died about tho timo tho
polico gained admittance to tho room.
Tho appearance of tho room ir Heated a
struggle, tho dead man's faco being
bruised, and there was blood upon his
stick. Tho shot was fired from Major
Evans' pistol, but Evans claims that
iii iltin killed himself. Major Evans ro
fuscd to talk after being taken to jail.
Ho is a brother of former Governor John
Gary Evaus, and his family is ono of tho
most prominent in South Carolina. Tho
arrest of Major Evans subsequently cre
ated a pronounced sensation.
Tho two mon woro alono and occu
pants Of adjoining apart men t s woro nt
dinner. Major Evans summoned a
physician, saying that a man was hurt
in his rooms. Dr. lt. W. Gibbes found
Capt. Griflln lying in a dying condition
and speechless on Major Evans' bed. A
41-calibro (Jolt's rovolvor bullet .had
entered just above the loft nipple.
When Dr. Gibbes announced that
Griffie was dying, ho declares that Evaus,
who had been drinking heavily, bocamo
wildly excited and oxclaimod that Dr.
Gibbes lied; that Dr. Gibbes and not ho
himself had killed (iiiflin. Tho physi
cian, under pretext of replacing a broken
instrument, managed to got out of tho
room, although Evans declared that ho
should not do so.
Dr. Gibbes siunmoncd police and thoy
wore refused admittance until Judge
Ernest Gary, a cousin of Evans, arrived
and demanded admittance and submis
sion to tho offlcoi'8, Evans struok J migo
Gary and was taken to jail in a state of
hysteria, having declared that Griffin
had taken his own lifo.
Til KV HAD UK KN DRINKING.
In tho room woro evidences of tho
fact that ono or both of the men had
been drinking Aside from this thoro is
no reason why Griflln should have killed
himself or thal Evans should have shot
him.
Tho dead man's faco was bruised OIT
both sides and there was au abrasion of
tho skin on tho bridge of tho nose. His
walking cane, clouted with blood, was
several foot from where blood marks
indicated that tho fatal shot had taken
off oct. 'Ibo right forearm of tho dead
man showed powder burns, but nono
were visible in the neighborhood of the
wound. Th080 circumstances would
seem damaging lo tho theory of self
destruction.

"Dr. Philpot walked around and felt
tho wounded man's pulso and pronounced
him dying, and Kvans ordered him ont of
tho room. Meantime we took Mr. Evans
out. Wo had to humor him a good d,eal
and coax him, Uko you would with a
drunken man. Wo put him In a hack at
tho side gate and took him to jail."
OKNKUAI.I.Y ACCEPTED AS PKOPEK,
Tho verdict of tho coroner's jury has
boon generally accepted as proper,
rio thing except the homicide has been
talked of in Columbia to-day. Thero is
intense interest and in somo quarters
deep feeling. Capt. Griffin had but
recently moved his family to this city.
His death leaves them in very unfortu
nate circumstances.
EVIDENCE WAS SUFFICIENT,
Coroner Green olforcd tho jury more
testimony, but they stated that nono was
Hooded and found tho verdict as stated.
Only a part of tho available testimony
was brought, out hy the OOrOOOr, but the
jury was unanimous on the (list volo.
There aro many theories for tho kill
ing, but none have much to support
them. It ls known that Major Kvans
was in financial straits.
No New Developments.
Thero aro no now developments in tho
Kvaiis-Griffin altair. No statement has
been made by Kvans, but it is said that
his attorneys will claim that the shoot
ing was dono in self-defense. Some days
will elapse, before application for bail is
made.

for a $10 United States noto. Tho en
