SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.

WHITE BOV KILLED NEGKO BOY-
Clinton Patterson killed John
Brown at Wadworth’s stables
about 4 o’clock yesterday even-
ing.
Clinton is seventeen •‘•ears old.
lias worked at the stables several
months, is a son of Mr. 0. P.
Patterson, and is an industrious
boy. John Brown is a negro
about the same age, and was din¬
ing room servant at the Pinnix
House.
It seems that a difficulty arose
between the two boys over a very
frivolous affair, Eye-witnesses
say that the negro was meddling
with a horse which Clinton was
handling, and when asked to de¬
sist rough words were passed.
One witness says John struck at
Clinton with an open knife, but
was not close enough to strike
him, and that he advanced with
uplifted blade, as if to plunge it
in the body of the white boy,
when Clinton drew a pistol from
a pocket and fired a ball through
the’ negro’s heart. Another wit¬
ness says John’s hands were in
his pockets at the time the fatal
shot was fired, and that in lifting
him after he fell, his hands, with
an open knife, fell out of his
pockets. The knife, a spring-
back dirk eight inches long, is
now in the possesion of a citizen.
The ball was a 32 calibre, fired
from a hammer’ess pistol, and en¬
tered the body nearly in the cen-
ter of the breast, a little to the
left side, two and half inches
from the nipple. I)r. R. 11.
Stephens looked at the hole in
the dead ooys breast, and said
the ball went through the side of
the heart. The negro fell when
lie was shot, arid died in about,
ten minutes,
Young Patterson walked up the
street and surrendered to Marshal
Hallman, saying Iu- did the deed
in self-defence.
The dead body was taken
in charge by]the negroes about
dark last night, and buried to¬
day. No inquest was held.
A warrant was sworn out for
youg Patterson last night which
was dismissed after a preliminary
examination this morning, the
verdict of the court being, justifi-
able homicide,
