Interview With Geo. Mckinney,

Being DESTROYS of letting the public
know all that could be found out con-
corning the late murder, representa-
tive of the RECORD was sent to interview
the homicide who is now confined in the
County Jail. Sheriff Travis courteously
escorted him to that institution, where
he found Mckinney, who was at the
time in the jaiers Office. After an intro
duction to the prisoner, (who received
him very politely and the reporter were
left alone in room. Mckinney who
appeared to be very quiet, though labor
ing under suppressed excitement, made,
in substance, the following statement:
The report in the RECORD said that
Courtney made dying statement, one
sentence of which was Mckinney shot
me in the back" One would naturally
infer from this, that / had made cow
ardly attack from behind. This, how
ever, is not true. do not blame YOU
for the report in the paper, because
suppose you could have no prejudice on
either side, but will thank you to give
my statement also. When the shooting
commenced we were face to face, sand
did not shoot Courtney in the back until
he turned and ran. | said Courtney |
am here to fight" then drew my PTS
tol and began to shoot.
IN WaJpapJay ,;rb, I
came to the window OF my room and
used very insulting language to me
threatening me also unless / should leave
town. At that time | was sick, and had
been SO for several days. Here Nc
Kinney quoted the language OF Moriarty
which was certainly the most insulting
that rough man could say. On FRI
day evening / was standing in front OF
Bishop X Lees drug store, when Court
ney came by me and again used very in
sulting and indecent language towards
me, and said: II told you to leave town
or fight. will make You pay attention
to what | say or leave town."
then procured pistol. and when
next we met the shooting commenced.
Knowing Courtney to be desr crate man
/ thought had to do us did or be muir
dered. This was the occasion of the
shooting. The cause is another affair.
He had as good chance to fight as did,
Since l have been here l have eaten
nothing and slept little.
THE CAUSE.
From one who is not connected with
the affair we learn that the cause of the
shooting was this Morarty had been on
intimate terms with woman of the
town named George Syphers, whom our
readers will remember as having given
testimony before the Coroner's jury;
Mckinney having fallen sick, this woman
was in the habit of visiting him, and
Moriarty became jealous. This led to
the hard words aud threats which were
given to our reporter in McKinney's
statement. We give this last just as we
heard it.

POLICE PICKINGS.

David Wilson, alias Green, concluded, or
r. Their lis counsel concluded, hpon mature
deliher2tion, that It would be somewhat
difficult matter to prove that David is an
individual whose character would rival the
uDdriven spow In its milk white purity, and
the, efcre no witnesses were brought for
ward for that purpose yesterday morning.
The defendants counsel stated that he was
wiling to rest The csse on the evidence
taken the day bafoIe, relying fos defense
upon The claim that the language used By
Wilson was not calculated to provoke
a breach Of the peace, aud also
claiming that tie Police Judge has
no Jurisdiction in cases of trespass, the par
tiss in ued by such trespass having right
to bring suit for damages. The court was
deeply impressed by the line of defense
adopted and by the profound argument Of
the couDsel-so deeply, indeed, that that
judicial hody only fined Wilson, alias
Green, fifty dollars for the language used,
and ire same amount for committing the
trespsas. Notice was given that the case
would be appealed.
Mr.. Newman, colored, was passing up
College street IN very salubrious condition.
Mr. Cole, also c0l0red sat cut on the sidewalk

comfortable as circumstances would allow.
Just as Mr.. Newman passed, Mr.. Cole OBJ
served to friend, "Hi, you there" which
remark Mr., Newman thought was addressed
TO himself, whereupon he turned and ad-
vised Mr.. Ccle to refrain from insulting gen.
tlemen in the future, when said gen lemen
were not disturbing him. Mr.. Cole ex-
PLANE that he vas not the party addressed,
but as Newman was bound to be insulted
anyway, lively little fight was the result.
Cole WIS fined s..
