husband discovered boys in the orchard; that he
left the house, taking with him small switch, and
returned about sun down. saying that he had chased
the boys from tie orchard one of whom, in his
fright, had left q hat and basket. She said she
heard nothing more about it until Wednesday
evening when deceased and his wife came up to
the fence by the house, and inquired of little girl
her daughter, if Mr.. Devaughn lived there? Her
husband, who was seated at a table eating his
supper, jumped up, and answered yes-what ofit'
Or what do you WANT Deceased asked him il he
was 10, the gentleman that had his sons hat and
basket; her husband said he was, and If he wanted
it he must 60 and satisfy MIR. Moore for damages,
and he would get it, Deceaseds wife asked what
damage her son had done; upon which her hus-
band told them to begonc of the lot and not black
guard him, and fthey did not, he would put
load into them; deceased turned hastily to leave
the place, and her husband came into the house,
took UP his gun and went out-that in short time
she heard the report of gun, and Immediately af-
ter, woman scream and moan; that she wa afraid
to 60 out, and continued in the house, her husband
then TO the door, it being dark about this time
asked for his powder and shot, and Reloaded
Her husband then went ont, she fearing something
bad, put her children 10 bed-and in half an hour
her husband returned. put his gun behind the
door, Ii, his pipe, and seated himself the sill, he
occasionally muttering to himself; that for some
time she was afraid TO ask him any questions but at
last said, you have shot that woman he replied,
how do you kn w that ! answered, heard her
scream and moan. lie then said he had shot the
man in the leg.
She retired to bed shortly after, and had not been
there long. before she heard shouts, and looking
out, perceived lights moving about, some Of which
appeared to approach the house by the lane
The shouting reused the attention Of her husband,
who sprapgup, seized his gun, went out, and crept
through a gap in the fence, since when she has
heard or seen nothing of him.
