C1EvEr.sp, Ohio, Dec. c, 1853.
Our citizens have been good de.l excited .or some
DAYS past, erourg on: Of tue killing Of Capt. Jones
of the big Concord, by Deputy L. ;. Marshal W.
H. Tyler, al Port Ssrria, in Canada, opposite Port
Hwon. Toe Concord, it eppear-, some two months
sIce coLited th tie propeller Gen Taylor on L.Ae
Superior, Whereby the ls,;er was dsmagei. The
propeller ws- owned ~ Detroit and the Concori at
this Port. The propeller had process issued from
the L. s. Dstrct Court q. Detroit, agan-t the Con-
cord and placed i, for service IN the hands Of Tyler.
The matter of tue Coacord prefenins 10 have the
case tiled herr determined 20 take ha vessel past De-
troit in such 20 prevent service of process
which cond be- done by lying up TO the Canals shore
when danger appeared, ard running by oa >nn1ay,
when DO process could be- seTved. He hsd reached
Port Ssrnis in Canada, aud learning that the process
was OUT tied up ns vessel to the docs that she wts
cl,ariy within British iufieiictlyp.
80 taut was she hauled up that she was partially
aground TIE steamtus { If Beli.n, with Tyler on
board came toward her, and Tyler, on beirg hailed.
said b. wasicd 10 lie alongside a little while. Capt.
Ione- ,od lin il could not be done, and that he mast
not ,ttach his lines to the brig. Two men jumped on
10 tie brig 20 make the tus fast, when Capt. Jones
approached with Al az to cu; the nes. Tyler jumped
Il 10 the rail of the brig, with revolver 10 hani, sari
he WAS ned S'a.es officer and thst the bret inhn
that re-i,fed him was @ dead man. Capt j. replied
tnht TIE captain o[ tutL N"--Si, bnu tihs Hc
was on Br sl soil. Tyler without showing any pro-
cess then instantly fired. Capt. Jones never spoke
af,r he wa -ho ami died within an hour. The ir-
shal- account varies somewhat from the above, Out
tb, facts | have given them seem Ia be the most
reliable and are manly Drawn nom the cyId5ace gwen
op the inquest.
TIE Marshal ssys ne did not intend 10 shoot; that
hi- revolver must have got cooked IN his pocket and
that lie only pr, ,sented IL to inuidate the captain.
Capt. Jones was a great faYorite the Lakes, and
. IL ms
Detroit and this city Tyler gave limseit mp - Dep
uty- -Marshal jane. who was with him o1 the steam
tug, srd brought TO Detroit, where be Is nelt fr
exAmiuat.on.
At por, sarpia the excitement against him WAS very
high and had he been caught his lie would have been
in danger. At Port Huron the excitement. was also
very great. There n '.e doubt but that ho Will be
claimed by tie Canadian ANTIQUITIES upon requsi-
,ion based upln the terms of the Ashburton treaty.
That tie homicide committed upon British soil Is
very clear ard il il difficult 20 any good reason
for refusing - deliver him up for tial
