The Te.atimnony at the Coroner's Inquest .1 Monument to his Memtory After '2 Years. A good deal of interest has been man ifested in the circumstances attetding the killing of the brave Texan here by negro troops 25 years ago. We pub lished last week a very full account of the dreadful affair, and the account as published in The Newberry Herald at the time. We give this week the tostimony of the Coroner's inquest which was taken the day of the killing. The remains of this brave Texan lie buried in the old grave yard with not even a stone or a board to mark the spot. But they shall be neglected no f longer, for already since the matter has been suggested, a considerhble sum has been subscribed and paid to have his remains moved to Rosemout Ceme tery and a niee monument erected over them. Sheriff Riser has the list, and if you desire to have a part in this noble work, hand your amount to him. This matter has also attracted atten tion in Texas, and we publish in this connection a letter to Mayor (loggans from a Texan in regard to it. AN ELOQUENT 'rRIBUTE FROM A BROTHER TEXAN. BE EvILLE, TEX AS, April 19th, 1890. Hon. Mayor of Newberry, Newberry, S. C: Dear Sir: Herewith I hand you a clipping from the Houston, (Texas) Post, of April 17th: Will you kindly inform me whether the incidents therein related be true or false. Whether "hero worship" be a virtue or a fault, I lay no claims to that char acteristic; but I feel that no other race of women are so worthy of the unselfish, disinterested honor, reverence and ser vice of imen as the lovely, virtuous and brave women of our Southland. Also I feel that we have thousands as truly chivalric and true men as he who is said to have carried himself so nobly in that trying hour. While that is true, and while I know there are thou sands of Southerners who would do likewise; still, I feel that such deeds are meritorious, and that he who per forms them should not only be remem bered, but should have his praises sung f so that the young of our country may realize the nobility of courage displayed in the defense of any principle of right, and that he who defends the weak and oppressed is especially worthy of his country's love and honor, that the purity of our women is our highest glory, and that life amid dishonor is not worth the living. For these reasons I feel my heart go out in love, sympathy and gratitude to him who is said to be sleeping in an unlenown grave in your lovely little city. His grave should not remain un marked. It should be cared for rev erently and tenderly. The heart that I has mouldered in that lonely grave was a jewel before whose brilliancy the lustre of the rarest jewel in any oriental . diadem would be as (lull as sandstone, : and his grave should be a beautiful text from which mothers and sisters of New berry could teach their sons and bro thers to honor and reverence woman ,hood, andl tell them that though like this hero they may die and no Peri be watching to catch a drop of I"The last libation libe'rty draws. From a heart that breaks and bleeds ln his cause," still the consciousness of duty done is a dliadem always worth the sacrifice of life. If these things be true, I desire to see if I cannot raise enough means to erect a suitable monument over that hero's grave; and wvhen once that is done I feel that the lovely women of New berry ?will see to it that the grave of him who willingly gave his life for the honor of an unknown daughter of Sou th Caro lina is carefully protected. BPlease accept my apology, if apology be necessary, for this long intrusion, andi please favor me with an early re ply, returning the enclosed slip. Respect fully,B..RAS .

Testimony on inquisition taken upon view of body of' Calvin ('rozier 8th BSept., 1865. Jacob 8. Bowers sworn testifies: Witness has charge on repairs of 1st Division of G3. & C. Railroad which passes through this place. Tfrain hay injg run off track, I camne from shops Slast night to put it on, about one or two o'clock. When we came to cars, having seen condition of train I took 5the hands to back end of cars and there I saw two men engaged in a fight. After a while one of them ran past me, eand the other went in the contrary di rection callIng out that he was cut; presently some three or four colored soldiers passed by me in pursuit of the one who first passed by me, and the ifourth, in passing, caught hold of me sand cried out "here he is" and took me up on the platform of depot where there were some fifty or more colored -troops. I protested that I was not the man who hatd cut the colored soldier; athe privates threatetned to kill me, but the sergeant interfered, and for a time Sprevented them till they brought up the man whose body this is. The de ceased stated that he was the man who cut the ctolored soldier. The sergeant, a colored man, gave me his namec as oPrince Rivers, Colored Provost Guard, Co., A., :;3d C'ol'd Troops. James B. Brown sworn, testifies: Am acting Superintendent of G. & C. 1. Road, came to depot at Newberry - this morning between one and two do'clock for the purpose of replacing ~train which had run off' the track; I esuspect thme tr'ain had been thrown off by obstacle placed on track by negro 11troops camped near by. Mr. Jacob S. Bowers, Supervisor 1st Division G3. & C. R. Rt. came with me; he went ahead to see conductor of train which had run off, was in his rear, and found a manini, who is deceased, comploining to t a Captaini about the treatment he had recei~'ed from a negro soldier. As fat as I can remember le stated his case in this manner: "Are you a Captain in the U. S. service? I have ladies in my charge whom I am compelled to see respected. A negro soldier came into the cars and insulted the ladies grossly. I ordered him out. He ,the negro said I had no business to interfere." Several negro soldiers coming up at the time this Captain told them they knew their orders and how they nutt obey them. The man must be taken to your commissioned officer ieceased was under arrest) and you must not hurt hin. The Sergeant's reply was "I will do so." The deceased said "I have hurt one, if the others attempt to impose on me I will hurt as many as I can.'' In going to examine the train I met Mr. Bowers and asked him the cause of disturbance. He said the de (eased and a negro h'td had a scufe. In moving back from train I saw sev eral negro soldiers take hold of Mr. Bowers, exclain: ng "here's the dam tied rel el who cut hiu-kill him-kill him." I walked back to the car and saw Mr. Bowers on the cotton plat form protesting to the mern that if tlhey killed him (Bowers) they would kill an innocent man. I went inmediately to a Captain of- troop)s, near by, and asked him to come and intercede for Mr. Bowers. He paid no attention to me whatever. I went back and found they had released Mr. Bowers only temporarily till they found the deceased who admitted that he had cut the ne gro soldier. The deceased stated that he had done the deed, and with the knife he had in his pocket. He was made to produce the knife. The Ser geant in charge said there was no blood on the knife; and deceased said, "this is the knife I did the deed with." The colered soldiers wanted to kill him at sight. The Sergeant prevented it and said he would take him to superior oft cer. The soldiers said unless lie was killed they would put a bullet through the Sergeant. They tied his hands and took him to camp. The man tied last night by these soldiers is the man over whose body we are holding this in quest, here where I utnderstand is the headquarters of the Colonel of colored troops. Solomon P. Kinard sworn testifies: Lives in this place about two hundred vards from where the body lies about half an hour before day I was aroused at my residence by three negro sol dies, who asked me for a mattock and shovel. They told me they wanted theni to bury a rebel who had cut the throat of one of their comrades while he was asleep, and whom they were going to shoot. One of them stated that he supposed his comrade was dead. About daylight I came through myorchard towards the camp here and heard the gun tire. I met one of the negro troops whom 1 took to be a sen tinel. He told me the troops were very much excited, and that I had bet ter not go among them. I thought there was only one gun, but the wounds of the body show that there were more fired together. After a short lapse of time-about half a minute-I heard another shot. I then approached nearer, but was again cautioned by the negro whom I took to be a sentinel. I was about fifty yards from the party. The grave was dug before the firing. Then I came up to the party where they were burying the body, and some ten of them jumped on the grave and stamped the body. A negro soldier while stamping his body said: "Now damn you, lie there. I wish every damned rebel was in your fix." The Regiment was just moving off. I heard a v'oice say "Gen. tlenien anid soldiers I assume the re sponsibility of this act." A negro sol dier told nme that it was the Col's. voice upon my asking him who made use o1 that expression. One of the negroes who was stamping and dancing over the grave threatened that before ter o'clock to-day that the town of New berry should be in ashes if the Regi. merit stayed here. Willis R. Phillips sworn testifies Lives about one hundred and thirty yards from where deceased was shot. .I heard the guns, saw the flash; just al daylight. Did not ktnow that they were shooting; I beard, however, tbh negro soldiers say: "Now we have killed the damned rebel." I was aboul fifty yards off. I drew nearer arid asked them what they had done, and they said: "We have killed the damned reb, and they wished that all the damrned rebs were in the sanme fix.' They were stamping and dancing over the grave. The Regiment was in line to march, drawn up some fifty yards from the grave. I saw some two or three white officers on their horses in front of the Regiment. After break. fast some eight or nine o'clock I as sisted Mr' John WN. Miller and others in taking up the body from the small grave in which the negroes had buried it in order to wash it anid prepare it for burial. I heard one of the teamsters of the .56th New York Regiment say that the Col. of the colored Regiment as serted that he was alone responsible for the act. Dr. Geo. WN. Garmrany sworn testi fies: Have made a post mortem ex amination of body. Deceased came to his death from gunshot wounds. Five gunshot wounds from minnie balls ini the chest and one pistol shot la4 left temple. The last shot miust have been fired close to his face, as it was powdet burnt. A. C. Small sworn testifies: Anm carmaster on G. and C. R. R.. The 33d Regimont colored troops came on down train yesterday to Newherry and stayed here last night, and I do not know of any other colored troops hav ing passed over the road. Geo. E. Isaac sworn testifies: Anm conductor on G. anid C. R. R. Was not in charge of train yesterday, I was at Aiston from one o'clock yesterday till the train came up. I canme 0on it, I saw deceased there yesterday. He was with a party of some four or five other passengers from Charlot-e road. I heard him called Crozier, and learned that he was from Texas. Heard him say he had not been to his borne since the beginning of the war. I was re quested to take charge of a lady on the train, but the deceased relieved mue and came with her to the depot. Jnio. C. Martin sworn testifies: A m a hotel keeper in this place. Two offi cers of 33d colored troops stoppied with me last night. Their names on myv register book are "Maj. Whitney, 33d U. S. C. T.; Dr. Stewart, ditto." I was aroused between three and four o'clock this morning by some one asking ne at my door if Maj. Whitney wa stop ping with me. 1 told hinm yes. He then requested me to tell him arnd all the officers of the 313d colored troops in my house that the Col. desired themr to come to the camp immediately. Af ter arousing Maj. Whitney, I asked the negro what was the matter, and he said "WVe are about to hang one 01 your secessionists for cuttinrg the throat of one of our troop." Leut. Sorles o1 :3:;d colored troops introduced Moj. Whitney and Dr. Steward to nie when they first came to my house. "oFFICE PRO. 3.4AR. POST, "Charlotte, N. C., Sept. .5, 15t65.

The benefit will be given Monday night, a May 5th, when local talent will aid in the undertaking.
