The Georgetown correspondent Of the
Washington Star says:--The name of the in
dividual who was shot few days since upon
the line of the Washington Aqueduct, was
Thomas Gretty. After he was shot, the clerk
of Mr.. Allen brought the body to our city,
and had prepared, at the establishment OF j.
F. Burcb, neat coffin, into which the body
was placed, and sent on to Philadelphia,
where be formerly resided, accompanied by
his wife and one child The evidence before
the inquest III view of the body was to the
effect that Gretty had been discharged from
the employment of Messrs. Allen and Carr;
after which he went into the office of Mr.. Al
lea for some purpose; quarrel ensued,
Gretty rushed upon Allen who seized load
ed pistol lying near by, with which to de-
fend himself Gretty seizet bin, and 10 the
scuii. the pistol was either fired or went of
accidentally; killing Gretty, as heretofore
stated. After hearing the evidence the jury
of inquest returned a verdict Of accidental
shooting. Mr.. Alec. who Immediately sur
rendered himself to the officers Of the law, Is
again on the work, attending to his business
There are two rumurs atlOat in our city this
morning-Ine that Mr.. Allen was released
on bail, AID the other that he was tired ana
acquitted. We incline to the belief from all
We can gather, tnat the latter Is the true
state of the case.
