Nashville, Tennessee, special says:
Capt. Richman gives the following explanation
of the killing of Brown, in Franklin county:
James Brown was killed by my men on the
9th ut.
One of my men, passing through Brown s
neighborhood, fell in with him. Brown told him
he was bushwacker and belonged to Roger
Guerrillas. He also told how many Union SOL
diers he had killed. and wanted to show him the
bones of two federal soldiers he had killed close
by his house. | sent Lieut.. Holt to arrest Brown
and after they had caught him and while on the
way to the graves of the soldiers he had killed
he broke and ran, when three men fired and
killed him.
A terrible and bloody affair occurred yesterday,
at Doyle's Brewery, which is feared will termin-
ate in the death of one of the parties concerned.
The facts, rs far ascertained, as TO flows -
1t appears two men named Thomas Duffey and
John Maher had been engaged at the brewery
and for some time past there had been ill-feeling
between them on account of an alleged freak of
Maher in placing some Jalap in beer drank by
Duffey. The two men labering near each other, a
fierce quarrel ensued. Duffey, becoming greatly
exasperated, seized a carpenters adj and, with
the blunt end of the heavy instrument, struck
Maher sweeping blow the head completely
crushing in his skull. Not satisfied with this, he
struck the fallen Maher another fearful blow with
the sharp edge of the ADJ, then rushed from the
brewery and escaped. He was afterwards arrested
sitting in water closet, coolly smoking his pipe.
Maher at a late hour this a. is still alive, but
in critical condition.
