MEMPHIS, June 15.-Last Tuesday three
men called at the house of William Carmi-
chsel, about six miles from the city, on
Holly Ford road, and took Joseph Paine
and Mr.. Carmichael from the house into the
woods, whore they mOrtaily wounded the
former, while the latter barely escaped with
bis life. A warrant fer the murderers was
issued Immediately after information of the
murder of Paine was received, and the Off
GERS succeeded in capturing one of them
named E. w. Banks, on Wednesday night.
The next day, yesterday, as no officers
could 60 conveniently out in search of the
others, w J. Saint reluctantly consented to
be deputized to serve the warrant. He rode
out Pigeon Roost road, taking Richard
Graves, A. J. Finkleton, w. Carmichael aud
E. W. Banks to assist him in the arrest Of
the murderers, the latter to identify his
associates, he having confessed to the foul
crime.
On their way one Daniel Henderson, a
relative of Payne, the murdered man, on
learning their business, mounted his horse
and rode with them. Some say that Sin
gleton asked Henderson to 60, but it is moro
than probable that he went with purpose.
They found the other murderers, WiDgate
or Wingay, and Boyett, living at the John
Heron place, on the Pigeon Roost read,
about eight miles from town.
They had been at work in the field, but
one was just then on his way TO the house
Saint, ~ himself, approached the latter,
and told him ne had warrant, and would
arrest or shoot him. The murderer at onoo
gave up his arms and surrendered. The
other, who was surprised in the field at
work, did the same on summons.
The party then started back toward the
city. Henderson, who rode in front of
Saint, commenced cUrsing, as it is sa d, and
declaring that the murderers' blood should
be taken then and there. Saint told him
he had disarmed them and received their
surrender, ard he would shoot any man
who attempted to harm them while in his
keeping He was acting as an etiicer OF the
law, and the law should have its course.
Henderson continued to curse for time,
but at length became silent. The prisoners
were coming along pesceably. About dusk
Henderson dr0ppei behind the cavaloade.
After dark, about o'clock in the evening,
while Saint was still ct the head of the par
tv, Henderson rodeup alongside of Ewbank,
As they were riding together on the same
mule. Ewbank was resting one MP Og re
clining upon the other. Henderson al once
shot him in the back, the ball taking effect
in the spine lie rolled off, head hrst, on
tie side On which he was leaning, drawing
Wingate with hun.
While this was TRANSMITTING, Henderson
shot at Winga,e, shatterlng his arm near
the elbow, and immediately turned upon
Bovett, who was starECg to get out OF the
way, and slot him twice, wounGiug him so
seriously that he can scarcely recover.
As soon as Saint heard the firing, he
turned and rode towards Henderson, telling
him to desist OF he would shOot him. His
horse was FESTIVE under the pistol reports,
and galioped up near to Henderson. The
latter at once fred upon him but Missed.
Saint then shot Henderson, and he fell
from his horse and died in ten minutes.
All the shooting occurred in fifteen Sc
condo. Henderson shot as fast as be cou d
cock his pistol aud draw the trigger. he
was so near the prisoners that every shot
took effect Before Henderson died he told
a man living near the tragedy that he was
satisfied; he bad had his revenge.
