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, Thirty years is a long time fight so a trouble a r pit-, but Jacob Mitchell, of Lmouville, Pa., struggled k.
