The Rev. Win. E. Johnson, the t

nd testified as follows:
I am a minister of the gospel y
f the Baptist denomination; am
astor of Bamberg, Hunter's ^
ha pel and Denmark Baptist ?
liurches; have been located at r
amberg about four years. In 1
une, 1899, I was called on by t
Ir. Brown to perform a marriage f
jremony betvyeen himself and *
liss Bellinger. The Saturday ?
ight following the marriage 1
Irs. Bellinger came to my house "
nd 1 left her and Mrs. .Johnson
1 conversation on my piazza. j.
was in back part of my house t
nd heard Mrs. Bellinger abusing r
le to my wife; I also heard a I
tan's voice: "I am surprised at J
our conduct." Willie Bellinger
ho had come for his mother, H
>id my wife to "shut up, I've *
eard enough of that."
I did not see Willie Bellinger ^
2 ai 11 until the dnv h?fnr? tlm J
agedy, when I found him setting
line fence which separated my ^
ouse from Mr. Bellinger's. Mrs. r
ellinger was also present. A ^
pgro painter named Walker was 1
i my yard painting a fence; 1 s
died Walker quietly to my r
ep and said to him: 4,I)o tho "
ninting as you agreed to do or u
it out of hero." I then went
awn town and asked Mr. J. 0. ?

lis several times, and he would e
art hut Willie Bellinger would "

im to paint the tence. Finally ''
ellinger asked if he was going u
paint that fence? Walker
lid, 4 I'm afraid." Bellinger
lid, "Afraid? What, afraid of ^

le same time using several other e
Hthets. r'
I told Bellinger he could not go it
in the road and say that, lie

turned and walked back to mv ti

tnd pronounced it the gun winch

The gun was loaded ; 1
00k it aud put it in ray sitting
00m ; I expected to need the gun
o defend myself, my family and
ny home, which hud been intruled
upon.
The next morning as I was
ibout to go down town Mr.Brown
Irove up to my gate and told me
hat if I was going down town he
vould take me. I went with
lim ; transacted my business at
he postoflice, and returned to
ny home. During my trip to the
lostoflice I was armed with a
)istol, because I thought I was in
langcr of being shot by Bellinjer.
A phort time after my re
I - c . - ?

dr. Brown again drove up to my
;ate and 1 started out to meet
lim. I then saw Mr. Willie Bel
inger exiling across the campus,
rhieh is located in front of my
louse, and I picked up iWy shot
:un to defend myself against anv
>ossible danger. Ab soon as I
;ot out the house and into the
oad where Mr. Brown was Mr.
Bellinger had by that time come
o within 10 or 15 steps of us, and
le opened fire on us, with a p^*
ol. 1 raised nfy gun and fired,
dr. Bellinger shot at me twice,
hen I shot, and he shot twice
nore after I fired. 1 was standing
n the r?>ad at the time and had
to reference to th? telephone

he pole was about; there was
inthing between us that I saw;
shot him to save my life which
believed to be in great danger ;
fter that I returned to mv house
nd reloaded the gun, fearing
hat. I might have further trouble.
On the cross examination by
Lttorney General Bellinger, Mr.
obiiBon said when he went out
o meet Mr. Brown that lie Blood

landing there the horse became
esfloss and Mr. Brown jerked
im back just as Bellinger came
p, thus exposing him, (Johnson)
o full view of Bellinger, when he
poned fire.
Johnson said after firing first
hot he brought the gun (o posiion
of "ready" so that he could
se it again if necessary.
The lumber which was ordered
o build the proposed new diviion

After the shooting I returned

)NESDAY. DECEMBi
I have been since living, follov
ing my usual avocation of preacl
ing at my lormer churches.
Bellinger and myself had n<
seen much of each other since tl
marriage. When 1 address*
him 1 called him Mr. Bellinge
1 did not speak any one of tl
Bellingers.
Joe Brown, Col. Counts and !
H. Sanders told me of threa
made by Bellinger. I did n<
arm myself because I was n<
fond of carrying weapons. I hr
apprehension that Bellinger \yi
going to shoot me, but not i
strong until the day before tl
trouble.
Col. Counts advised me i
kill the negro or any one el:
who would not leave my yar<
I did not think of necessity <
asking an oflicer of the law i
get him out. I did not tell Mr
Bellinger to "shut up." I tol
her "1 have heaud from yc
before."
Question by attorney generi
?When you told Bellinger t
come on the street what di
you meyiY
Ai^wer?I meaiU to whip liii
if I could. My height is <> foe
weight 140; that of Bellingei
5 feet, weight 110. 1 thougl
there was more honor in whij

returning liis words.
Question?Why did you rt
tire when you found Bellingc
lind a pistol?
Answer?Did not want thr
kind of a difficulty.
Attorney general questionYou
were then not willing t
meet poor little Willie Bellingc
as man and man usually dc
but you had something in you
house which would kill an eh
pliant. With this you wante
to meet Willie Bellinger wh
was only armed with a pistol
eh? This question elicited n
response and was rather dran
atic in its appeal.
Mr. Bellinger then asked wi
ness if the two witnesses wh
were put up this morning b
the defense, and who testilie
that he had rosted his gu

statement The request wa
granted and ho said : "Thor
