HOMJCTDE IN GOOSECBEEK. A Colored Man Accidentally Shot-Riot In 1 he Country-Arrest or tbe Partira Implicated. S. C. Brown and S. 0. Wiggins, two white men, were brought to the city yesterday af? ternoon under arrest and taten before a trial Justice on tne charge of being implicated in the killing of a colored man named Tbarin Grant, on last Monday, in St. James Goose creek. From the affidavits upon which the prlsonere aie confined and their own state ments the following facts are taken: Last Monday afternoon, about two o'clock, Brown and Wiggins, who are planting a place on Goosecreek belonging to the Rev. Mr. Miles, went out shooting fish in the creek. After they had been gone some time their powder gave out and they returned to the house for more. While returning they met Grant and talked with him some time, he laughing with them and claiming the load In the gun as his own, aa he had loaded it with his own ammu? nition in Mr. Wigglns's absence. The two prisoners proceeded on their hunt and cap? tured a large fish. They then started back, and the gun was placed In the bottom of the boat. They soon got back to where Grant was Bitting on the edge of the canal, and Brown states that be was busily pushing the boat along when ruudenly the gun was discharged and he saw Grant double np and fall over. Wiggins states that he had the gun, without knowing it was loaded, pointed towards Grant, who told bim to be careiul and hold the muzzle down. He was doing this when the piece was discharged. Wiggins then j napped out of the boat and waded to Grant, pul his arm around him and said, "Ob, Grant, you know it was an accident." Grant merely said "Oh, my God, I am shot," and died al< , moat immediately. The load of shot had gone clear throngh his breast. The prisoners, see ing he was dead, leit the body where it tell, and, takingta wagon at the house, drove to Porcher's Stationl on the Northeastern Rsi! road, for the purpose of taking the train to the city and, delivering themselves up to the prpper authorltiee. In the meantime the body was found by some colored people, who speedily spread the news abroad. The color? ed people were highly excited, and a large 11 crowd armed with guns, knives, poles, &c, | i started In pursuit of the prisoners. The lat? ter were found at the station, and were im? mediately taken into custody by the mob The more infuriated presented their guns and knives, and wanted to klil the two prisoners outright, but fortunately others who were more moderate In their views succeeded fa restraining the mob. 1 Surrounded by the crowd, the two white men E were then taken from the depot towards the 1 scene of tbe accident Their captors pressed i upon them on every side, and, while passing through a field, Brown wa.? struck and knock- j ed senseless by a blow upon the back of the e htiad. The crowd carried the men before the t father of the deceased Grant, and they here t stated how the killing had been the result of accident. The father heard their statement, f and must haye been; persuaded it was an acel- i 'dent, as for the time he was judge and jury, i and any extreme sentence from him would, i doubtlessly, have been executed by the inluri- i ated crowd. Yesterday morning the prisoners were conveyed by their captors to the depot, and brought under guard, to Charleston, as first stated. I ( An Inquest will probably be held over the | ( body of Grant, and the prisoners are held to await the result of the Investigation.* j ?
