MIR. BIS. RHErr, sr., citizen of
Charleston, was shot in the vicinity of that
city some ten days since. The Charleston
Ne,os publishes the proceedings of the
Coroner's Jury in the case, from which we
make the following extract:
Horace Greeley, alias johnson, made
confession before the Jury, to the effect
that Mr.. Rhett was killed by gun in the
hands of John Bull and himself The
following is the principal part of it:
Horace Greeley alias johnson, and John
Bull alias Bennett, were in branch and
saw Mr.. Rhett coming on the causeway on
horseback. John said, fire and shoot that
man. Horace said, for what John said,
shoot hin, and took hold of the gun, and
while both had hold of it, both barrels
went off at or about the same time, and
shot Mr. Rhett. ID . -.
The Jury found verdict that Mr.. Rhett
was killed by firearms in the hands of
Horace Greeley and John Bull, and that
the said Greeley as principal, and the said
Bennett as accessory, feloniously did kill the
said Mr.. Rhett. ..
