terrible in its results.
"Of the Marsliars force seven ont OF eleven lay
dea'i-of the assaiants, only three. some sixteen
tally, AS Deputy Marshal Owens, who was shot
through the body above the hips.
"The messenger who brought the Deputy
Marshals note, given above, to Capt. James
Donnellys IS is quite young man, and was one OF
the Marshal's force. He showed us three bullet
holes through his coat and one in his boot heel.
He knew the names of only two of the Marshals
force killed. Jamos Woods and Riley Woods
both well known here. There were missing James
Hawking, Panl Jones, and Eugene Brockett
Morris helped to lay out nine bodies, on porch,
about half a mile from the scene OF the deadly
affray, and thither the Federal wounded also
were carried there. Proctor, the han-killer
and desperado, guarded by eleven of his per-
sonal friends, who would not see him convicted.
The Sheriff was killed, and the Judge received
three buckshot in the knee. Indeed, it appears
from the sudden and deadly assault upon the
Marshars force, that the people inside the Court
House had been fully informed Of their approach,
and were prepared for them. The official had in.
structions to make demand for Proctor only in |
case of his acquittal, and as that woudbe brought
about except through intimidation or colusion of
the jury, they expected some resistance should |
they attempt to arrest Proctor after his acquital;
but for the murlerous' yolley of their first ap- |
preach they were not prepared, hence their |
slaughter.
