asked whore the boys were, and if some
one OF them would come down; Mr..
Din,more told them that this was the
wrong place that We had no boys he
SAID to them that he supposed 1t was Mr.
S!enning's that they were inauiring for;
two men then rushed into the kitchen
and said to Mr.. Din more, "you are the

they had severe russell in the kitchen
for good while; Mr. Dinsmore rushed
through the sitting room into the h III
where think II ey caught him. but was
so confused Ih.t lam not certainswhe her
they brought hlm back or he came back
hmseltl went to bed when the rap was
first heard at the door, Mir. Dlnsmore
having told me to do so when Mr.
DinsmoIc first came III from the kitchen
they were following him; the first one
had a pistol in his hand; when saw the
pistol, | followed, "Do not shoot,
thinking he was going to shoot ME
had got out of the large bed, and was
standing on the trundle bed after they
had come back from the hall, they tus-
seled as tar AS the dining table | then
saw the tall man, who had come in first,
shoot twice towards Mr. DinsmUre y
body; the tall man then told the other
to strike him (ilr. Dinsmorc), when he
took chair and st uck him on the head;
Mr.. Dinsmore then said "Oh | am
shot y | think he said he supposed he
was kil'ei the men then started and
ran out the door at which they came in
and left 1t open after them; the window
was broken when they were scutlling IN
the kitchen it they were white men
they were blackened l thiuk they were
young men one of them who did the
shooting was tall man, he had on dark
clothes and a broad brlmm d hat the
other one, who struck Mr.. Dlnsmore
with chair, was a small man, | think,
and sm-taced think the pistol was
revolver, for the SLOTS were so close
together tn he could not have time to
have loaded between them my opinion
is that i. was rather a long pistol.
Near one O'Clock we sent my daugh
ter Nancy for Mr., Robert Caldwell The
reason why we did not send sooner was
that there was but three of us in the house
myself, Nancy .Lavina and Ella, who
is about inc years of age, and we were
afraid that II amy OF us we'e to go out
they would rush in again and kill us all.
|. immediately after the men went away,
tasts ned all the doors. After he had
be, II shot ard struck with the char, Mr..
Dinsmore went into the hall, tainted and
fell he lay there perhaps for ten min
utes. then rose up and walked into the
sitting room, near the fire, and sunk
down IN the floor; think he was not
sen lille then. but we placed pillows
under his heal, and he became sensible
after awhile he said he had tainted -,
he said 81 see it now--tbey h2ve shot
me y asked what l thought hey had
done it tor, aud if they had taken his
pocket book; | told him they had not.
lie then asked what they did it tor, |
told him did not know asked him
il he had had any difficulty with any
erson, lie said he had not, that he
knew Of think he then asked who |
thought they weie--I told him again |
did not know. lie was insen,ible when
Mr.. Caldwell came, thought he was
dead, but Mr. Caldwell Thought he
brealhed \ few times after. The voice
of the person who first spoke at the
door was a soft one. did not hear
them say anything after the d cd was
done. II they did my attention was di
rrcted TO MIR Dnsmore, and did not
hear it. The children made confusion
mp stairs ard in the hall, but | do not
know whether the men were alarmed n
1t or no, l was stripped ready for bed
when the rap was first made at the door
and that WAS the reason NJ, Dlnsmore
told me TO 90 to bed when he went tc
open the door. j S. S.
