From the Memphis Avalanche June III
Our readers will remember that on Thurs
day morning last, We published the particu-
lars of the diabolical murder of Mr.. PAINE,
near his residence on the Hallowford road,
by gang of three unknown rufians, for the
only reason that Mr.. PAINE could not, or
would not inform them of the whereabouts
of pair of steers. Mr.. CARMACK, son-in-
law of Mr.. PAINE, it will be remembered,
escaped death from the same source merely
by accident On the evening of the murder
of Mr.. PAINE a warrant was sued out before
Esquire HALL for the arrest of one GEORGE
HUGHBANKs, on suspicion of being impli-
Gated in the affair, and given to officer SAINT
to execute, which he did by producing the
person of HUGHBANKs at the office of the
Squire on Thursday morning. In the
meantime, however, and while under arrest
HUGHBANKs acknowledged being present at
the time of the killing of PAINE, but dis
avowed any active connection with the
transaction, although he confessed that
BoYETT, WINGATE and himself composed
the party, and that he gave countenance to
its inhuman designs He also stated to Of
icer SAINT that he desired to turn States evil
dence, and disclose the names and where
abouts of his companions, suggesting, at the
same time, that he would like to accompany
the officer and take him TO the spot where
these men were secreted. His suggestions
were favorably acted upon, and after the
burial Of PAINE, officer SAINT and his
deputies-Messrs. SINGLETON, GRooMs, and
GRIDLEY-together with the prisoner, start
ed for Mrs. WMBURN's old place, on
the fernando road, about nine miles
from the city. Upon reaching the place,
the house was entered and the two
men pointed out by HUGHBANKs, ar
rested and placed under guard. They gave
their names as FRANKFORT BOYETT and
WILLIAM WINGATE. On their return to
the city, and Just as they had reached Nom
connah creek, the party were met by DAN
TEL HENDERSON, a brother-in-law of Mr..
PAINE and nephew of Mr.. SAINT He
called SAINT aside and told him he intended
to kill the men, then and there, who had so
brutally murdered his father-in-law Mr..
SAINT demonstrated with him, and told him
that the men had been disarmed, and were
now under the protection of and amenable
to the law, and that they must not and should
not be harmed while in his charge. With
this HENDERSON turned his horses head to-
wards the woods, the party continuing their
Journey to the city. A short time after
dusk, when about three miles from the city,
on the Pigeon Roost road, and near Mrs. Ro-
sELLE's farm, the party were startled by the
report of a shot and the simultaneous fall of
HUGHBANKs from the mule upon which he
and BoYETT were riding. On looking around,
HENDERSON was seen rapidly advancing, pis-
tol cooked and pointed and coming up with
BOYETT, he shot at and wounded him, and
turned in his saddle and shot WINGATE;
BoYETT recovering himself, attempted to
seek safety behind fence, and while in the
act of running was again shot, and this time
brought to the ground by HENDERSON, who
then turned and fired twice on his unclee, Mr.
SAINT, the first shot woudning the mule on
which Mr.. SAINT was riding, and the second
Just grazing Mr.. SAINTS head. The officer
then pulled his pistol and shot HENDERSON,
the ball entering the spinal column and
lodging in the region Of the heart, which,
strange to say, was the precise place which
HENDERSON had but few seconds before
shot HUGHBANRs HENDERSON died al
most simultaneously. WINGATE's wound
will prove rather serious, the ball entering
the left arm just above the muscle, and rang
ing downward, passed through the elbows,
SCATTERING the bone badly. 1t is thought
that amputation of the limb will be necessa-
ny. BoYETT was wounded twice-the firsl
ball entering and passing through the lower
part of the left arm, and CHANGING off through
the knuckle of the middle finger; the second
entering the arm also, and lodging in the
shoulder. After the occurrence, Mr.. SAINT
rode to the city and delivered himself up to
Deputy Sheriff LANFoRD. This officer i'm
mediately started for the scene of the occur
renee, and arrested and lodged in jail, early
this morning, both WINGATE and BoYETT.
An inquest was held over the remains of
HENDERSON and HUGHBANKs by Esquire
HALL, and verdict rendered substantially
in accordance with the facts above stated,
generating Mr.. SAINT from all blame in
the bloody affair. Upon hearing, Mr.. SAINT
has been placed under So, 900 bonds.
