Attack OF Negro Soldiers upon two Po-
licemen-Death Of Officer McFaddep.

Attack OF Negro SOldterS upon two PO-
ucemen-Death Of Officer McFaddeu.
The greatest CONSERVATION prevailed in
the city last night, on account 81 the killing
of Officer Thomas j. McFadden, of the city
police, by negro soldier. As near as we
could gather them, the facts are these: Be
tween nine and ten o'clock, Officers McFad-
den, Spaulding, and another, while patrol
ing their beat on Water street, between Third
and Fourth, heard two or three shots fired
In what is known as O'Neips alley. The
officers advanced into the alley to ascertain
the cause of the firing, which they found to
have proceeded from disreputable negro
den about half way up the alley. They
started into the, house and were met by a
party of negroes, armed and unarmed, who
resisted their approach. A general scuffle
and shooting ensued between the officers and
negroes, during which Thomas ]. McFadden
was shot through the head with Spencer
rifle ball and instantly killed Mr.. Spaul-
ding received several Commissions upon the
head and body, but was not seriously hurt.
The negro soldier who shot Officer McFad-
den was arrested shortly afterwards by Off
Ger Slater. His name is John Berdet, and
he has been stationed as guard at the Gov
eminent buildings on Second street, between
Main and the river. There were several
other guards with the murderer. They left
their posts and visited the negro house of ill
fame early in the night, and were no doubt
drunk at the time of the melee.
The report of Mr.. McFadden's death
spread over the city like wildfre, and the
police force of the city were incensed to an
alarming degree. For while disastrous
riot seemed inevitable, but luckily the ex-
element subsidized before any of the negroes
were caught. Almost the entire police force
rallied to the neighborhood of the murder, |
and up to twelve o'clock they had made ten |
arrests, all negroes, seven men and three
women. With the exception of the negro
soldier, Berdet, the parties arrested were
those living in the house where McFadden |
was killed. General Palmer promptly de- |
tailed extra guards from the I'd United States
infantry to aid the police in patroling the
city and apprehending the negro soldiers.
We could not learn whether the guards had |
captured any of the negro soldiers or not,
but it is probable that all of them will be |
caught. This diabolical case demands i'm
mediate action, and we trust there will be no
useless ceremony in bringing the guilty to
justice. The body of Officer McFadden was
to the police Office by his fellow
officers, and the Coroner summoned to hold
an inquest. We will furnish all additional
tomorrow. Louisville Journal.
