NOT COMMITTED.
SULLIVAN CLEARED IN
COMMITMENT TRIAL.
Testimony of the Brothers of Each

Account.
The commitment trial of J.
Sullivan for the f illing of John W> 1
n last Tuesday commenced on
Thursday morning before
John Banks and Jasper Coggins, at
Hoilonville, ami tho decision was not
reached until a lull examination, last
ing until alter dark.
Tho most accurate and succinct
account of the tragedy was given t>y
Clark Su'livan, brother of tho ac
cusetl, and was as follows ;
“We were all down there running
the line between Sullivan and Wil
son when C. R. Wilson came up
and said that whoever said there
were two hedge rows there told a
-d lie. I replied that there were
two. He replied that 1 had sworn
in Zebulon that I owned this land,
I replied that I had done no such
thing, lie replied that I had tried
to leave that impression on the jury.
I replied that I had done no such
thing, but had stated that I had ten
ded the land and had rented it from
his son. At this juncture Clark Wil
son stepped up to me and said, “Don’t
you dispute my father’s word.” I
replied to him that “what 1 had said
was true and that 1 should not take
it back,” when he repeated, “Don’t
you dispute my father’s word,” aud I
replied that 1 had said it and would
not takeitback. He replied,“I
pose you want to fight then,’*
commenced pulling off his coat. I
plied, “No, Clark, I did not
here for a difficulty and don’t
any; but if nothing but a
will do you, you can get it.”
at this instant 1 heard some one
“Put up that pistol,” and
and saw John C. Wilson pointing
pistol at Will Sullivan mil
him snap it twice. Will
had been sitting on a log with an

axeman for the Surveyor and
cessioners in the survey—and
I saw J. C. Wilson presenting

his seat and dodged twice, as
pistol snapped in his half rising
sition. J, C. Wilson then placed
oylinder ot the pistol iu the
hand and held the handle in

ing Will Sullivan. Just as he

shot three times in very rapid
cession (two seconds would cover
time) and Wilson fell, pistol in
hand cocked. Then C. R.
rushed toward his buggy,
“G—d d—n ’em, I’ll fix ’em
rushed in front of him and told him
stop, that he should not go any
towards the buggy ; and Clark
then rushed up with knife in his
and told his father to go on and
“I will tend to Clark.” C. R.
son turned back. Will

Edge had told me John Wilson
made in his presence on Monday
ternoon before the killing.”
This tLrent was proven on tbe
by Mr, Edge and was this, that W
Bon told him that Will Sullivan
got a true bill against him and
him under a hundred dollar fine;
he was a d ’ n har, a d-u thief
ad—n rascal, ami he would kill
G-d <1—n him.
Tbe testimony of Clark
was sustained by the evidence

material variation except as to
details, among whom were

Blake and Surveyor McLean, and
