THE EVIDENCE
The following evidence was given before
Coroner McCahey and Justice Bostock—
both gentlemen military appointees. Every
one was examined who could throw any
light on the transaction. Tlie body was
lying In the room untouched all the while,
during the four hours examination. Sollc
Itor Peabodvconducted it:
A. G. Bennett, sworn.—1 had been with
Mr. Ashburu during tiie night. I hud been
out and returned between 11 add 12 r.
>i. I slept In tlie front room. Amundu
Patterson (white) and Hannah Flournoy
(eoloied). were in the middle room—Mr.
Ashburu by himself in the rear one.' I
heard persons Knocking at the door after 1
came in-between 12 an*' 1 o’clock. To my
question of who was there, came the reply
‘•Mary Flournoy, who wants to come in
I replied no one could come in that time of
night. The voices then said tlie door would
be broken down If I did nut let them In.
I rushed to Aslibiiru's room, telling him
the house was about to be broken open and
asked if he had u-uis. He said he had u
revolver. Wouldn’t give it to me, as he
would use it himselt At that moment
hear i crash of slat In front door. 1 asked
him again for the pistol. He said they
woiihfirt hurt anylHMly. I said no trust
could lie given those who broke in houses.
Men then rushed by me. and I ran behind
a uoor covered with some clothing, in the
middle room, 1 left Mr. Asliburn lighting a
candle. Ash burn demanded of the men
what they wanted. Tlie reply was, •‘you're
a d—d —and one fired, and then (bur
others standing in the doorway fired pis
tols two by two. Fourteen pistol shots
were tired. Onu man got down on his
knots, in d shot through the legs ot the ta
ble—and then said, ** Come on boys, let’s
go.”
Cross-Examined.—I rushed from the
front room to Ash burn’s. 1 saw the tive
men distinctly. Ash burn didn't tire his
pistol. He lighted the caudle before they
readied his room. At tirst there was rap
ping at all the doors. The men were
masked as far as I could see. Hid n't
know any of them. 1 was sleeping by my
self.
Amanda Patterson, sworn.—Men at door
demanded entrance. It was refused. Door
was broken open. I was badly seared. All
were masked but one. One mask fcl i off as
party was going out door. Could not
swear to any one. Thought there wore
about fifty men. Moon was not shluiug.
During shooting 1 was in front room. Hud
been sleeping in middle room, it was
crowded with men. The one from whom
the mask fell said, “D—n you, If you tell
on me I will kill you.’* The mask Ml at
the door.
(Ashburn’s son, about 17, produced a
black paper mask, recently cut, said to be
the one. It was delivered to the Coro
ner.)
Tom Johnson, (colored,) sworn.—About
was Joined by Lawrence ami Smith. He
saw on the vacant lot opposite Hannah's
house a body ot men—about, thirty in num
ber—in some confusion. He ordered them
to halt, but hearing the click of pistols, and
seeing they were determined In* should
come no nearer, he retired. Attracted by a
woman’s scream, he went over the street,
found A ah burn had been murdered, and
sent Information to the civil and military
authorities. Recognized none of them.
Night very dark.
Policeman Smith testified lie patsed at
12J J o’clock by Hannah's bouse, and saw no
one there. Was on Broad street when 1
beard tlie pistols. Ran with other office
to the spot. There saw a squadron of. r d
moving eastward across a vacant V ,

Hannah Flournoy, negnrss^—When I
heard the knocking at tlie door. 1 wanted
to know who they were. Said •*Mary
TilllnghaH.” Voices were a Item!. They
asked ror Manda and wanted to sen her. and
- then wanted me. Asked me to open the
doors; wouldn’t do it as it was no time to
call. Said they would break open the door
Told them to break It. Went back and told
Mr. Ashburn a crowd of men were out
tin-re. lie got up, lit a candle, and stood
near Ids beu with a pistol in his hand. A
little boy of mine ran under the bed. By
this time twenty-five men were In each of
the room-*, ami about tin- alley. All of
them were well dressed gentlemen; about
the same size, and wore masks or were
smutted. When shooting commenced I got
out of the window and ran. They said,
“don’t hurt Hannah." Seven shot* were
fired after lie (fell. I was too frightened to
know any of them. Saw none witiiout
masks. Were nice dandy young gentle
men belonging to Columbus. Ashburn
had lit his cundleand put on iiis coat. Said
••let them come.” It was between 12 and 1
o’clock Monday night. Bennett was In the
room; me and Manda in the middle one,
and Ashburu by himself. There were no
lights in the room. Tlie men had a candle
with tb:m.

know It isn’t. I could recognize the man.
who was tall and flne looking. If I saw him
He wore a black coat and small check pants.
Was called in this morning to make affidavit
against Mr. —■—, but 1 wouldn’t.
Two paper masks—one white, tlieoth..
black, and a blackened handkerchief torn
as a mask with no name on it. and a cloth
glove, picked up on the vacant lot, were
shown by Justice Bostock and given to the
Coroner.
I)iek White—Hannah’s son—a boy u.
about 12, swore the men broke open both
fho front and side Uoor. There was knock
ing on ad sides. When they burst them
open I ran into Mr. Ashburn’s room and
hid under the bed. Mr. Ashburn was
standing by tlie bed with a pistol in his
hand. The candle was burning. lie told
the men at the side door not to come in or
he would shoot them. Three entered from
the side door and two from the one toward
the middle room. As soon as Asiihurn
said lie would shoot, one called out to the
live to ‘•shoot the U—*1 rascal.” One mar
fired from the side door and hit tlie bed.
Ashburn started to run, but they turned
him back. After three shots one struck
him in the head. He fell in one corner
Several shots were fired afterwards. Ash
burn started io shoot twice, hut didn’t.
One man got on his knees nnd fired, hit
ting Him In the loot—tliett ran off. Faces
blucked like negri.es. Knew no one. They
look d like they had gloves on.
Jordan Clark, negro, knew nothing ex
cept from hearsay.
Bennett, recalled—Five men did the
shooting. One had on “English walking
coat” with large horn buttons.
Tom/Johnson, negro, recalled—Thought
the man tn brown clotlies was Mr. —.
Night was dark. Thought he knew him
by his clothes. Didn’t see his ,faco—only
judged by clothes and form—clothes all of
one color. The other man I know posi
tively. Had on dark clothes. Wouli
know him darkest nigliU ;
Violet Pitts, Lizzie. Pitts, and Mary
Munfield. negroes, nil swore that Torn
Johnson had beei in Lizzie's room before
tlie firing commenced, and until all was
quiet and everybody bad left, ho did not
leave that room. They all unite in tills
statement. Hannah Flournoy also testi
fied that he was there when she ran in, and
that she left him there. Hence his testi
mony cannot be relied upon.
This closed the examination. The fol
