Murder VIII Out.

\ MAN ARRESTED AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS WAN
DERING.
Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock Con-
stable J. l.. L. Kellum and Dr.. Bell, OF
Princess Anne county, brought to this city
and lodged in jail 4 man by the name OF
Samuel Sherrar, who is accused OF having
shot and killed man by the name OF Will
liam Walker in Drummondtown, Accomac
county. Sherrar was arrested Monday al
ternoon at Princess Anne Courthouse,
where he was seen and recognized. The
party is on its way TO Accomac county,
where the prisoner will be examined on the
charge.
In the absence OF any record OF the affair
for which Sherrar is under arrest we give
the following statement, us made to us, the
story OF the killing being told only as Il
rumor:
At the breaking out OF the war Sherrar
was living in Princess Aune county, and
Joined the company OF cavalry raised in
that county. He Obtained 4 transfer to the
Wise Legion, put in a substitute, and went
TO Accomac county to live, aud engaged in
running the blockade. He was a man OF
some means, fond OF sporting, OF 4 convi-
vial nature, and q fayoritc with nearly
every enc. At Dummondtown he, with
two friends. were enjoying themselves, ;one
day, when the friends became in an alterca-
ton. ending in blows. Sherrar, the friend
OF both combatants. drew u pistol, and said
he would shoot the first man who interfered.
Walker did so. was shot and killed, and
Siberian escaped. 'a @staa. a. ~ss'n
At the close OF the war be came TO this
city and visited Princess Anne for the; pul-
pose OF selling some property which be-
longed to him in the county. He then dis
appeared, and although frequently heard
from in Florida, Georgia, and South Caro-
lima, was not seen in this section again until
Saturday night, when he appeared al DIR.
BelPs house, near North Landing. Hewas
welcomed as an old acquaintance, and re-
mained until Monday, when he,with DR..
Bell, visited the courthouse for the
purpose OF examining the records, md
seeing what disposition had been made
OF the proceeds Of his estate, which
had been sold by the Messrs. Taze-
we'll Taylor and Charles Sharp by,
order OF court. He had examined the re-
cords. and was talking withan old aequaint-
ance, when he was arrested on a warrant
issued by Judge Keeling on the complaintof
