MELANCHOLY REsuLT-SAMUEL FLEMING KILLED.
1t has, doubtless been reported to most of rea'
ders that, at Marion Court, Mcdowell county N. C..
on Saturday week last as Col. w. w. Avery. in an
unarmed defenceess condition, passing from the
Courthouse to his room after arduous discharge
of duty to his client, in then pending, wherein
Fleming was party, he was attacked, IN ruit1anly
manner, by Samuel Fleming, who, having armed him
self with every necessary weapon OF offence, used
cowhde which he had seereted abouthis person. The
fight that time is said have been long and Sc
we're one, Fleming using stone with stunning effect
but before Col. Avery, in his defenceless condition.
having been disabled by the blows inflicted by the
stone in Femings hand could properly aVeDge the In
dignity offered his person. the parties were sePara-
ted, and he taken to his room, and all weapons OF Of
fence or defence denied him.
In Morganton, on Tuesday last, few minutes al
ter Judge Battle had taken his seat, on the bench, in
the afternoon session, Fleming fully armed, walked
within the bar of the court, appearing In COL Ave-
rvs presence for the first time since the attack with
the cow-hide whereupon the latter arose and shot
Fleming dead the spot, the ball it is thought
passing through the heart.
Col. Avery at once placed himself in the custody
of the proper officer, with view to judicial inves-
tigaton. AS far ascertain it, public opin-
ion fully susains Col. Avery, from the nature OF
the first insult and subsequent provocations, he could
pursue other course to protect himself from one
who had not only manifested determination to dis
grace him, but TO bully him afterwards.
The occurrence is deplored by all; but
quainted with the circumstances which led TO this
result, attaches any blame to Col. Avery.
Col. Avery has the sympathy of all, for he has al
ways been distinguished for kind and peaceable
disposition, before having a serious difficulty
with any one-not even in the heat of political
element, in which he has acted conspicuous part.
