Wanted For Murder, He Re sists Arrest, And is Shot by Sheriff Haslett, the Wound Producing Death. John Johnson, colored, au es caped murderer was shot through the body by Sheriff Haslett, while resisting arrest, Tuesday aftor noou of last week, the wound caus ing the negro’s death Saturday. The facts as we gather them are about as follows: The negro Johnson has been at work on the Loganville & Law reuceville railroad as a section hand for some months past, and had not been suspected of the crime of murder until Sheriff'Has lett, a week or two ago, received a warrant from Sherritf Nelmes, of Fulton county, charging Johnson with the murder of Eiijah Gay. The crime was committed in Bar tow county Sept, loth, 1898, John son splitting Gay’s head open with a shovel. It was an atrocious murder, and Johnson made his escape. Sheriff Nelmes wrote Sheriff Haslett that Johnson was sup posed to be near Lawrenceville, working as a section hand on some railroad, and upon inquiry Sheriff Haslett located Johnson as being at work on the L. & L, road. This information was furnished our sheriff by Charley Rawlins, and he was deputized by Sheriff Haslett to aid him in the arrest. On Tuesday of last week Sheriff Haslett, in company with Mr. Rawlins, went out to arrest John son. He was fouud with the sec tion squad near Jim Brogdon’s house, and after scrutenizing him closely and finding that he fitted accurately the description, Sheriff Haslett told Johnson to lay down his shovel and consider himself under arrest. Johnson appeared to be greatly surprised, and asked what he was being arrested for, protesting that he had done noth ing to warrant his arrest. At this juncture the sheriff told Mr. Raw lins to take hold of Johnson and hold him till he read him tlfb war rant. When the negro heard the charge of murder read against him he broke loose from Mr. Rawlins, and Mr. Rawlins gave pursuit. Overtaking him, a scuflio ensued, the negro fighting desper ately, striking Rawlins several blows in the chest and stomach, and trying to draw a knife from his pocket. The sheriff came up to the relief of Mr. Rawlins, and finding that force was necessary to subdue the enraged negro, drew bis pistol and fired just as the negro broke loose from Mr." Ra wlins and started to run. The ball entered just above the right hip, but failed to stop Johnson. He ran at the top of his speed and made his escape into the thick woods near the home of Lige Ken nedy. . , The sheriff was not certain that the shot had taken effect until Friday, when he received word that a wounded negro had been found near the Kennedy spring. He went out and found that this negro was John Johnson, and that he was desperately wounded. Dr. Bush was summoned, aud the negro brought to town and taken to jail. Everything possible was done to save his life, but on Sat day he died. The ball had no doubt cut his intestines, setting up inflamation. Before dying he made a confes sion, admitting that he was the negro called for in the warrant. After the negro’s death Coroner Wilson held an inquest over his remains, at which all the eye-wit nesses to the shooting gave in their testimony. All concurred that the negro became desperate and was determined on making his escape. The inquest was concluded Sun day morning, and after a thorough investigation returned the follow ing verdict: We, the jury, find that John John son, col., now lying dead before us, came to his death from a pistol shot wound inflicted by Thus. A. Haslett, Sheriff, and that said act was justified by the testimony produced. And we recommend that Hr. Thos. B Bush be paid five dollars for services rendered as physician on this inquest.
