Was 1t Accident or Murder.
ANOTHER VERSION OF THE RECENT
SHOOTING ACCIDENT IN SUSSEX.

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE RECENT
SHOOTING ACCIDENT IN SUSSEX.
On the night of Feb. 22d last Ezekiel
Williams, Of Williamsville, Sussex
county, was killed by the discharge of a
pistol, which, 1t was asserted, was lying
on shelf in his store, at the time, and
was not touched by any one. The mys-
terious nature of the accident causes
much comment, and a correspondent of
the Snow Hill, Hill, Md, Messenger
makes the following reference 10 the
case.
On the day previous man had loaded
pistol 10 fire at a mark. For some rea-
son he did not shoot, but put up his pis-
tol cooked on shelf of the store and
back of the counter. On Friday Mr..
Williams being In the store was asked
by the woman then attending the store
as clerk, and being behind the counter,
to write due-hll for her. At the mo
ment Of his stepping forward to the coun-
ter to do this, the pistol lying on the
shelf behind the counter discharged itself
the charge entering his left bre ast and
one buck-shot passing through the heart.
Though several persons were in the store
at the moment, no one was within reach
of the pistol except the woman spoken
of above. She affirms that she is not
aware of having touched the fire arm,
and thinks she did not. The pistol was
picked up from the floor afterward, to
which 1t fell at the instant of being dis
charged, and was found to be of stiff
spring and not easy to be discharged.
Query-Row does a pistol of that
description, lying untouched on the shelf
discharges itself and kill its man?
Yours Truly, II. j. G.
