After the introduction and ihe allu
sions referrred to, Gen. Clanton re
marked, addressing Col. Nelson, that
having dosed his professional business,
he proposed now to look a little at the
town. To this Col. N. replied, evi
dently regarding Gen. ClantonV re-
nmrk as referring to social pleasure,
' I can take you where there is some
thing very nice if you are uot afraid.
Clanton said pleasantly: "Do I
look as if I was afraid ?”
Nelson repped: “ I do not know
whether you do or not.'
Clanton replied: “ 1 am not afraid
of anything or any man
Nelspn again repeated: “ I do not
know whether vou are or not,” in _
manner which Clanton seemed to think
insulting, and he retorted:
“ If you think I am, try me, name
your friend, time and place, any time
or any place.”
Nelson, very excitedly, said: “ This
time and place is as good as any.
Take your stand.”
At this, Gen. Clanton walked into
the middle of the street; and said : “ I
have taken my stand. Col. Fort,
measure the ground for your friend,
and let him take his.”
Col. Fort insisted, there was no cause
for any personal difficulty, and that
Gen. Clanton should come off from the
street Just then, Gen. C. observed
Col. N: go into the sa oon, and further
remarked: " He told me to take my
stand, aud I have done so, and yet he
has gone off.” During this, and simi
lar conversation with'Col. Fort, Gen.
C, was standing directly facing the
pavement, with nis hands holding the
collar of ius .cant The saloon door
was qt least thirty-five feet to his left,
at a radius of abOut onefeighth of acit-
cle. While - in this position, and this
engaged in conversation, he heard, the
Venitian blind .door of the saloon close.
Lqokiqg up,, he saw Col.. Nelson with
gun nlready at rest againsf an awning
post; and partially covered by the same,
and an intervening cast-iron lamp-post
and four empty leer casks. Quick as
thought, Gen. C. seemed to compre-
hena the' situation, and faced nearly
around, bringing his right shoulder to
wards CoL N. He then made a move
ment vjf reaching for tlie skirts of his
cnat^whea he was struck with the fatal
shot, in. thy right shoulder and breast.
He hroaght both" hands' forward, but
not being able to raise his right, in
.which was his pistol, did so by resting
it on bis left. Simultaneous'with this
movement he began to sink, discharged
his piste# at random, and fell dead.—
The hall from his pistol struck the
curb-stone at least twelve feet below
where Col. Nelson was standing. The
mark shows this; and the hall is found.
Just ns Gen. C. fell Col. N. discharg
ed his second shot, which took effect ui
the plastered wall of the Lamar Honse,
across the street, and in a line directly
under a window of a room occupied by
Hon, Judge Trigg and his wife; who
witnessed the affair, with others occii
S ing rftoms on (lie same front of the
otel." ’ , .. 1 !*-
When -Col; Nelson left Col. Fort
and Gen. Clanton, after the latter had
startedior the middle of the street, he
went into the saloon in quest of a pis
tol, which he failed to obtain,
however, found in theTsaloOn « gentle^
man who is book-keeper in a store, the
rear of which juts almost against <hat
of the saloon, and in ivhich store was*
loaded double-barrelled sire-gun be
longing to himself. He demanded his
gun, but was informed that the store
was dosed and the gun not accessible.
The Colonel peremptorily demanded
Ids gas notwithstanding—saying '
would hare it, if he had to stave in
dear. - Not knowing why he wanted it,
aad oat wilting to incur fata anger, the
look-keeper contented to opep the door,
which he did The Colond entered
the store, found tils gun and started
again for the saloon through the rear
yard. The book-keeper and two other
friends endeavored to pacify him, but
he threatened them if they obstructed
his passage. He, passed into, aad di
rectly through thfesaloon, duttlie front

The Court was opened yesterday
morning at 94 o’slock. Quite a num
ber of citizens were present, manifes-
ing their interest in the expected inves
tigation of the charges against Foster
Blodgett. When the case was called,
Col. Bleckley and Gen. Gartrell both
announced that they had cases before
the United States Court anil the Su
preme Court, and proposed with the
assent of the Court to adjourn until
Monday morning. The Court consen
ted, and was on the eve of adjourning,
when suddenly the sheriff
arrested col. h. p. farrow,
who was present. The affidavit upon
which the warrant was issued, sworn
to by Maj. C. P. McCa la, was as fol

W. M. Butt, Justice Peace.
CoL Farrow, after reading the af
fidavit, remarked to the Court, that
here was an order for his arrest, being
charged with being a common cheat
and swindler; that Charles P. McCalla
had sworn to a lie, which he would
prove during the day!
He then said to the sheriff, “ I am
yjur prisoner;” and then asked the
ijourt to excuse him for not,
in his official capacity as Attorney
General, prosecuting himself.
At this point, at the instance of
Major Hargrove, the Court issue!
subpoenas and sent for several witnes
ses. While waiting for them, there
was considerable private conversation
between Gen. Gartrell and Capt.
Blodgett, in whieh Col. Farrow par
ticipated. >
Maj. Hargove rose aud made
calm and dispassionate address to the
Court, stating that he approached the
work of conducting these prosecutions
without any prejudice or ill feling to
wards any one, but from solemn con
victions of duty, aud announced him
self ready for the investigation.
Captain John Milledgc announced
that ne had been employed by Colonel
Farrow to assist him in the prosecu
tion of all eases connected with the
State Road investigations. He knew
nothing of the facts—the evidence—
against Col. F., but thoughtthe charges
not well founded; but if he is guilt
let him fell and be the first to fell
that being thus employed he would
stand br the prosecution and assist
Major Hargrove all in his power till he
should fell or the cloud had passed.
General Gartrell then announced
himself as attoruey for CoL F., and,
stated that he was ready to proceed
with tho case. ‘ ‘'*
Major Hargrove proposed to post
pone the case till 2 o’clock, on account
of the difficulty of procuring witnesses
immediately.
Colonel Farrow said: No, sir? so, sir.
to which Maj. fl. replied he was ready
to wait there till the retting of the sun,
and the rising thereof also, if necessa
ry- :
L P. Harris and C. P. MnCalla
were then sworn as witnesses on the
part of the prosecution.
Mr. Harris took the stand. Mr. Har
grove handed him some papers, pur
porting to cover a claim of CoL Far
row against the NY. & A. R. R., for
services from 1st January to 1st July,
1871. He then testified that he had
seen the paper. It was presented to
him by Col. F. for payment about the
last of July or 1st of August; told him
I. was not paying out any money then.
CoL F. raid he Ead-understood severe
thousand dollars would be paid into
the State Road Treasury iq a few days,
«nd would leave the claim with me till
the money was received and the claim
paid. This paper was returned to Mr.
nawsoa, one of the Committee having
chage of the State Road books.
Cross-examined—CoL Farrow wrote
a note asking me to hand the papers to
Mr. Raweoa, which I did.
MMien Col. F. called on are I stated
to him that I understood MoCnlla was
making payments. Afterwards he fold
me that he had received $700.
Re-diredr-^I told CoL F. that I was
not paying money; that I did not want
to exhunst the Treasury; but that if I
received the two or three thousand dol
lars I would pay him.
Q. Would you have paid the bill in
esentfbnrtf •> 1
I would aot havapaid tbe bffl if
had observed- the discrepancies of
te which I now perceive. I would
said he could not explain the distre-
jancy of dates on the passed bill, and
lad never -feu the piper until recently*
Cross-examined—I paid.other bills
to other parties—don't know in what
amounts. I authorized the publica
tion of my late statement in the Daily
Sun. ■ ’ - • V'-« ;
I. P. Harris recalled, and 'asked if
he would have paid the money on the
iissed bill in its present form, to which
e answered he would tint;'' \ -
It was admitted by the' defense that
this passed bill had never been before
the Auditing Board; and by the pros
ecution that the receipts taken by Mc
Calla had never been before that
Board.
E. E. Rawson, Jutige : Hammock
and Faster Blodgett were then quali
fied by the defense. Mr. Rawson
stated, in reference to the passed bill,
that CoL Farrow had given him a note
for I. P. Harris to turn over his claim
for $1,800 to the f’ommittee; that he
had.received it, and it had been in the
safe ever’since;' that he wits present at
the consultation between CoL Farrow,
Mr. Hill, Major Hargroveand others;
that some difference of opinion sprung
up.
Major Hargrove: About the man
ner in which > the paper*'got into the
safe? rVT - •- *
, A. Yes»«*r. <
Major Haiqiqock, confirmed Mr.
Rawson’s testimony.
Foster Blodgett testified to signature
of the Governor’s initial “ B” to the
account; that he was iu the Governor’s
office in July when Col. F, presented
the claim for the Governor’s endorse
ment, and he saw the Governor sign it.
Cross-examined- -Witnlss was asked
to state some eases in which CoL F.
had been employed or consulted. He
could not specify any carej but knew
they were numerous. It was his (wit
ness’) duty to sign warrants without
reference to the bill, but he would not
have signed this one had he observed
the discrepancy in dates.
(Court adjourned tilt 2JJclock)'
In the afternoon Scssmj no other

this morning at 9 o’clock, Maj. Har

that it ought to demand the retraction
of the insult offered thy prosecutor by
the prisoner this morning, br- fine him
for contempt of Court. CoL Farrow
then arose and stated-that !h, respect te
the Court he had withdrawn his asser
tion already, not that we was mistaken
in the statement, for he was ready to re

The Court then adjourned, when

struck him .several times, brealdr

at one of the strokes? CoL Farrow drew
his pistol, but did not fire breyen pres-

bystanders, or having drawn it only
to be used in self-defense as a last re
sort in extremity. The spectatore ii
