cover the ball that caused his death
They were unabls to trace It's course but
a short distance, though they we've salts
fed from the course it took that it lodg-
ed somewhere in the bowels. From tie
quantity Of blood taken from him during
the examination it Is thought that an in
tcrnal hemorrhage commenced from the
time he was shot and continued up to his
death. Modification took place the day
he died.
Es-Governor Henry A. Wise has
been engaged by Clark's father to assist
in the prosecution Of Fewell.
Fewell is still in jail. He is in good
spirits and has no fear of conviction by a
jury. Ii is thought a jury in this case
csnnot be gotten in this county, most
every Que having disqualified himself as
juror BY expression Of opinion.
The old man of carpet-bag motor iety,
who assisted Miss Fewel in the elopemenf
with Clark, was formerly a porter at
Boyle's Hotel, Washington, D. c.. bu!
had been discharged sho:t time previous
to the elopsment, and was employed by
Clark to come to Manassas.
| Since Clark was arrested, it is stated
that this old man has left Washington for
parts unknown, fearing his arrest would
soon follow that OF Clark.
| have understood that rumors are
afoat charging Miss Fewell with impure
| ty prior to her elop enlent with CLARK, for
which there is no foundation and they
are not believed in this community.
The public sentiment in regard to the
shooting of Clark while within the pale OF
the law, seems to be much divided; the
people "aboye the run" jussifying Fewell
and the people ''pelow the run" er ter
tanning very bitter feelings against him,
Miss Fewcll continues weak and ner-
vous. She has not been Informed Of the
shooting, as her attending physician
thinks the reve lation of such shocking
news would probable result fatally.
The completely OF those of this place
in This disgraeelul affair will be published
at some future day, probably not far dis
tant.
Judge Nicol has not yet decided as to
bail for Fewell
