HORRIBLE CRIME.
a BOY Murders His sleeping Father and
Burns the House.

a BOY Murders His Sleeping Father and
Burns the House.
The Wilmington On. O. Star of re-
cent date says A correspondent at
Fair Bluff, Columbus county, enables
us this morning to lay before our read
ers additional information concerning
the terrible events which occurred at the
house of Mr.. Eli Coleman, four miles
from Fair Bluff, on Friday night last.
Mr.. Coleman was awidower, living alone
with his two children-a boy II, and
girl little more than IA years old. 1t
will be remembered that ON the night in
question the neighborhood was aroused
by an alarm of fire proceeding from Cole
mans house, and, on arriving at the
scene of the conhagration, it was found
that the boy and his sister had escaped
and saved most of the property from the
flames, but that their father had been
burned with the building. Under such
circumstances, suspicion naturally rested
upon the children, and on Monday they
were privately and separately examined,
when the boy confessed that he shot and
killed his father while the latter was ly
ing on his bed asleep, after which he got
most of the property out of the house
and then fired it. He then requested his
interrogation to go and see his sister, who
would tell all about it. This was done.
The girl stated that her father, Eli Cole
man, was absent from home on that day,
but came home about 10 o'clock at
night, when she and her brother got up
and fixed him something to eat, and then
went and lay down again, her father GO
ing to bed directly afterward. Some
time about midnight or little after, her
brother walked her up, ana there was a
light in the house and he had gun in
his hand, and told her that he was going
to kill their father. She begged him
not to do it, but he said he would, and
he carried out his threat by walking up
near the bed where their father was ly-
ing, and shooting the load through his
head, killing him instantly, The girl
says she was standing i'll the door when
her brother shot her father, and she
never saw him move after the gun was
fired. They then carried nearly all Of
their things out of the house, and the
boy fired it in two places and she III one.
They remained in the house until the
top commenced falling in before they
made any cutlery about the fire or any
thing else. After the children had been
arrested the girl told our informant the
same tale, and on examination before a
Justice of the Peace she again repeated
it. They were both committed to Jail.
These are the facts as reported to our
correspondent, but he gives no hint as
to the motive which prompted the COM
mission of the fearful deed.
