ANOTHER FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY*
Two Policemen Shot Dead.
THE CORONER'S INQUEST.
[Reported for The News and Herald.]
On* Saturday night last, about eleven o'clock, the
citizens in the viciuity of the Central Railroad depot
were startled by the report of fire-arms, accompanied
by the springing of watchmen's rattles. Upon repair
ing to the spot our reporter found some police officers
beating a man who was clutching a revolver, and who
had to be very severely dealt with before he would re-
leaso his hold of the weapon. It was soon learned
that the person whom they were endeavoring to arrest
had already shot and killed two men and was endeav
oring to continue his bloody work. It appears that
the offender., James Bartley, was a member of tho po-
lico force, who was not on duty that night, and who
had, after answering his name at roll call, in company
with some others, scaled the walls of the barracks and
started upon a spree. Bartley had had a quarrel of
seme kind in the bar-room of Mr. Neville, at the cor
ner of Liberty and West Broad street, and on getting
into the street and persisting in being noisy and dis
orderly, an officer threatened to arrest him, when he
said he would shoot any one attempting it. The of
ficer then sprang his rattle for help, and others arri
ving on the ground they attempted to arrest him
The desperado carried out his threat and fired three
shots, each of which took effect—two of them fatally.
It appears^from the evidence, which we give below,
that the murderer deliberately aimed each shot at
some one of the officers. The orly thing which saved
officer Galloglay was his turning his head slightly, al
lowing the ball to pass him, jnst grazing his neck.
Alter Bartley was secured and a second pistol taken
from him, officer Galloglay turned him over to two
other policemen, and with the aid of some citizens
arrested and sent to the Barracks several persons who
were supposed to have some knowledge of the affair-
physician a were .sent for, and one who was found
stopped under a'j^as light to write out a prescription,
but by the time it was written the wounded men were
beyond the reach of medical aid.
One of the deceased, Foley, lay on Liberty street,
about twenty feet from where he was shot, and a
gentleman who saw him fall says the man uttered an
exclamation, fell oh his right sfde, then rolled over on
his back and drawing up his limbs convulsively, al
most immediately expired. When our reporter
reached the spot, the crowd had almost forgotten him
and as he lay directly in the foot-path and there was
no light, people almost fell over his lifeless body as
they came upon the scene.
The other man, McNichols, lay nearly in tho same
spot where he fell, and could have lived but few
minutes after receiving the fatal bullet. The specta
cle was truly shocking, and the excitement in the
vicinity was intense. Some injudicious person went
toMcNichol's home and informed his wife of his death
and she was soon on the spot, and falling on tho body
of her husband, with her piteous screams and wail
ings made the scene still more appalling.
Drs. Sherzer, Smith, Hams and Clift arriving on
the spot, proceeded to examine the bodies and to see
if their efforts would avail anything, but they found
that life was already extinct.
Coroner H, H. Eden arriving on the spot, took the
bodies of the murdered men in charge, and instrueted
Lt. Howard of the police force to have them removed to
the Barracks, where he would hold an inquest on Sun
day morning.

Wm. J Neville sworn—Jas. Bartley came into my
bar-room with six as seven 'Irishmen; It was In the
neighborhood of eleven o'clock Saturday night; he
told me to give those mon drinks at his expense; see
ing that they were under tlie influence of liquor, I
gave them nothing but porter, soda and sarsaparilla,
Bartley insisting on my giving him liquor, which I re
fused; he drank twice of soda-water whilst in the bar
room : the prisoner then stepped towards the door aqd
commenced singing a song, the words of which were
••I’ll shoot,” which I never heard before; the smallest
man of the party approached him and asked, ” Who
lie was going to shoot? the mun was a small man
and approached the prisoner in a threatening manner;
Bartley told him not to crottd him (Bartley); and on
approaching nearer Bartley exclaimed; “.Don’fogime
any nearer or I’ll shoot;” he then jerked oui
pistol, cooked it and presented it at the man; I don't
It commenced I know the parties; I then got between Bartley and this,
man, and succeeded in persuading Bartley that the
man meant no harm, and to put up his pistol, which
he did; he (Bartley) then turned .to gomtof the door,
when I persuadod him to go to the bafacks and re
port, telling him that it was eleven o’clock and he had
to go on duty at twelve; the small man and another
one went out after him; on hearing a renewal of tho
difficulty, I went out to him and found him in the
middle of the street, with his pistol again drawn and
prepared to tire; I saw the pistol, suppose it one of
those used on the force; I approached him and re
quested him to put his pistol up, which he did after
parleying; he then came on the sidewalk, when a
policeman appaoached him and took him by the arm;
this policeman was neither of the parties killed; con
sidering him under arrest and the difficulty quashed,
I went back into my bar-room to attend to three or
four customers, directly after which the firpig com
menced; I heard three distiuot shots; did not see the
party shooting nor the party shot at.
The prisoner was then brought in, when the witness
identified him as the man who had the pistol.
Crosi-ejMnXiiieQ—The prisoner was under the influ
ence of liquor; I considered him frenzied from liquor;
I don’t think thatauy of the party who came with him
into the bar-room had any fire-arms. \
Tfiomas Carroll, sworn.—1 went into Mr. Neville’s
barroom witfi the prisoner after 10 o’clock on Satur
day night; Mr. Flood asked me to lake a drink; I did
so, and soon afterward found them all going out in a
hurry; 1 walked out to see what the matter was; I saw
this man (the prisoner) standing on the sidewalk at
the stoop, with a pistol in his hand; I said "that mail
ought to be arrested, he will shoot somebody”; Me-
Nichols, one of the deceased, came up at the time; he
sprang his rattle and policeman Galloglay came to Ilia
assistance; McNichols then went to srrest prisoner
aud Galloglay then called on me to assist him in ma
king the arrest; while Galloglay was trying to arrest
him’, three shots were fired; 1 could not say who fired
them; the prisoner had a pistol in his hand; saw Gal-
loglay taking it away from him after he knocked him
down; the prisoner resisted the officer; I thank with
ran to the spot; found a crowd of people on the side
walk ; they asked Galloglay to arrest the prisoner, who
bad a pistol in his hand; Galloglay said he was not
the arresting officer; that he came to assist; Thomas
Carroll said McNichols was too mnch afraid to arrest
the man; then MoNichols stepped forward and took
hold of the prisoner, as did Galloglay; they tuaaelled
for a few seconds, when the priaoner got loose from
the crowd, and raised his pistol and flred at McNich
ols; the deceased made one exclamation and fell;
prisoner turned in the direction of where Foley stood
and flred again; Foley remarked that he was shot, and
staggered back into Liberty street; the prisoner then
flred another shot in the direction of Galloglay; can’t
toll who he aimed it at; Foley stood a little sideways,
about five yards from Galloglay when the prisoner
flred the second shot; prisoner then made a motion
towards the crowd when Galloglay closed on him and
threw him to the ground; prisoner made several at
tempts to shoot Galloglay, when the officer had to
strike him on the hand; McCarroU and myself ar
rested Galloglay, when we got the pistol from him;
Galloglay then left the prisoner in charge of myself
and another officer; when ^ took him up from the
sand officer Hartloe found another pistol iu the sand
which dropped from the person of the prisoner; when
taking prisoner to the barracks he said, “he wag
dammed sonf* he had not shot the whole crowd.”
[Witness identified the prisoner as the man who flred
the shots.]
Lieut. J. T. Howard, sworn.—Am 1st Lieutenant of
Police; was on duty on .Saturday night; tho prisoner
was brought in shortly after 11 o'clock; I asked prison
er if he had shot the two men, McNichols and Foley;
he said that he had, and wished he had shot more of
the d d s s of b s; prisoner did not appear
to be very drunk, spoke connectedly.
Hr. Fish, sworn.—Made a post mortem, 'examina
tion of the body of E. G. McNichols; find that he died
from the efl'ecte of a gun-shot wound; the ball entered
between the fourth aud filth ribs, one inch to the left
of the mesial line, passing through the parietes of
thorax, through the pericardium, then the right ven
tricle of the heart, and passing through the pericar-
cardium posterially, then cutting the descending
aorta at the last dorsal vertabra, and rebounded from
striking against the spine; the ball was found in tbe
cavity of the abdomen.
Dr. Sherzer, sworn—Made a post mortem examina
tion of the body of James Foley; found a gun-shot
wound; the ball entered the left side, between the fifth
and sixth ribs, passing through the lower lobe of the
left lung and pericardium, entering the left ventricle
of the heart, and through the lower lobe of the right
lung, fracturing the seventh rib of the right Bide,
from which the ball rebounded. After a minute ex
amination was unable to find the ball. Deceased died
evidently from said wound.
On Saturday night two police officers, Hope Farmer
and Grai^ffle Bevell, were arrested near the spot and
con£q£}£ftthe barracks. They had been with Bart
ley up^fp within a short time of the murder, and the
extra pistol found on the prisoner was proved to be
long to belong to one of these men, who Btated that
he had lost it or had it taken from him by some one.
They had reported at the roll call at the barracks at
six o’clock, and had afterwards- scaled the wall and
gone oil' upon a frolic, little reckoning upon ita tragic
termination. According to the evidence of themselves
and others they had their pistols with them and wore
masks on their faces a part of the time.
Tho evidence of neither of these men threw any ad
ditional light on the subject, and we refrain from pub
lishing it.
One or two other parties were examined, but theur
testimony amounted to little, and after a brief sum
ming up by Air. Philip M. Russell, Jr., aud an expla
nation of the law, the room waa cleared, and in a few

MY COTTAGE HOME.
Bt Miss Axna M. Bates.
My home was a cot 'mid the forreat trees.
Where the shadows were deep and long.
Where the thick leaves danced to the piping breeze
Like a green-robed festal throng.
There the dark vifles clang, and the wild birds Swung,
And the flowers bloomed meek and lair.
And a clear stream fell in a rocky deU,
And O, I waa happy there.
But I went to the world, the siren world.
And I left that cottage door;
The summer lay deep, o’er path and ataep,
The bird sang there as of yore ;
But the tender spell from my spirit fell,
Like a severed jewelled chain;
I went to the world, the siren world,
But I gathered only pain !
minutes the jury rendered a verdict that said E. G.
McNichols and James Foley had severally came to
their deaths from guuehot wounds inflicted by a pis

alias Bartlett, and that the said Granger is guilty of
murder.
But little can be learned concerning the antecedents
of the man Bartley or Granger which it appears is
his real name. Chief of Police Anderson testified that
he came to him with good testimonials, and stated ho
was from Cass county, and had served in Lee’s army.

The PozSANSifs.—Very few persons In this city
are acquainted with the meriisof these youthful ar
tists. The writer of this notice has watched all the
steps of their advancement, from their first appear
ance in Charleston until their departure for tho North
and Europe at the commencement of the war. They
are brothers aud nativep of Charleston. Having man
ifested decided talent for music, their father, an in
telligent Pole, determined to afford their nascent
ability all tho means of development that money and
the best instruction could obtain in those departments
of the art for which they separately evinced the
greatest inclination. After they had received the
most sedulous private instruction in Charleston, their
father was induced to bring them before the public.
They made their appearance in several concerts in
that city where the writer has witnessed the mos
. ^ not enthusiastic praises of them from
discriminating StraUlbrs of "the divine art,” the
elder as a violinist, and the younger as a piauist.
They left New Yorlcas wo said, early in the.war for
Europe. Arriving at Paris they were placed under
the best masters among whonu qelebrated
violinist Vieuxtempo. Sliej^ilR-wards viSted..va

I had been too long in Nature's wild,
Unused to the ways of art,
I came to it now as a simple child.
And it burned and seared my heart.
I found in the bowera of velvet flowers,
Tlie serpent lag qpllod to sting;
I learned to my ruth, That love and truth
Were only a hollow thing.
So I turned from the vaiu, false world again.
And to wash its stain away,
I sought the shade of the forest glade, .-
Where a child I used to play.
I tried in the gleam of its dimpling stream,'
To efface my spirit’s stain.
And the bitter strife, of the feverish life,
That will ne’er be mine again.
But it clung to me still, as the plague spr* jyill,
Even there, in that purer air.
I wont to the cot—’twas a lonely spot,
Yet, still it was fair, how fair.
And beside the hearth, one patient smile,
Was left from the wrecks of yore.
My Mother was there, 'twas her tender prayer,
That had lured me back once more.
And never again for the siren world,
Will I leave my wild-wood cot;
For peace is there, in the wood-land air.
That tlie ould world knoweth not.
And so when I die, will my spirit fly.
From the whispering forest shadb.
And there, oh! thore ’tis my earnest prayer.
That my last low bed be made.

The Paris Patrie denies that the French government
had consented to extend tbe period of the Extradition

German journals continue to represent the relations
