Muisii Clalns fee lai Atteaptw
la Assault lis Vtfe.
UJRAXGEBCRG, July z.?jama
Johnson, a white man living on th<
plantation of Mr H M Stevenson
near Norway, surrendered to Sherif
Dukes yesterday. Johnson yesterday
shot and killed an uuknown negro.
Claiming that he had attempted ai
assault on Mrs. Johnson.
Mr Stevenson gave him employ
jnent and he had been working ir
the fields with Mr aud Mrs Johnson
who also worked for Mr Steven
son.
The story told by Johnson i
that on Thursday morning the negr<
and Mrs Johnson were wor iing ii
the same field, and that about l:
o'clock Mrs. Johnson started foi
her home, some distance away, ac
compained by her little 7-year ?1<
son.
After going some distance, Mrs
Johnson turned and and sav
the negro running after her. Shi
then commenced vanning and scream
ing and just before she reached th<
house the negro stopped and turnei
back.
Johnson savs that his wife tolc
bim of the occurrence when he cam<
to dinner, but having no shells foi
bis gun, he did nothing at the time.
He returned to work after dinnei
and that evening procured shells.
On Friday morning he loaded hit
gun and took it to the field with
bim. He was plowing near Mi
Stevenson's and daring the morning
be saw the negro talking to Mi
Stevenson near the latter's house.
He theQ got his gun and started
for them. As he approached he
heard Mr Stevenson tell tbe negro
to leave the place at once.
The negro saw Johnson abont this
time and started to run, and Johnson
shot him in the back.
The negro fell and Johnson shot
him again in the stomach.
Mr Stevenson says that on learning
of the trouble he had discharged
tbe negro, who claimed he was only
running to get out of the rain.
It appears that Johnson did not
request assistance of his neighbors.
Highest is the World.
