THE KILLING OF COL wfTHER

A Preliminary Examination of the
DOxeys, and they are Held I'm Bonds.
Col. r. A. Withers, formerly OF the Con-
federate army, was killed on last Satur-
day at Hendersonville, by Samuel Doxey,
depot agent at that place. 1t appears that
Withers was unarmed and was not expect
ing any rencounter, while Doxey was
armed and was determined to have q
difficulty. Col. Withers was almost in
SANITY killed, being shot three times BY
Doxey. His last words were, "You have
killed an unnamed man; oh, what will be-
come of my poor mother" The case came
up yesterday before Hugh Joiner, Justice
of the Peace, at HsndersonVille.
The defendants submitted their case
without examination. Samuel Doxey was
bound over to appear at the next term Of
the Sumner county court in band of ten
thousand dollars. John Doxey was also
bound over in bond of five thousand dol
lars, as being accessory to the murder.
Messrs. Guild, Burch and Cahal have
been employed by the prosecution, Messrs
East, Bate and Williamson are retained
for the defends ants.
