HORN LAKE.
The Accepted Version of the Armlstead-
helms Affair.
HORN LAKE. MISS. June |

HORN LAKE, Miss, June l.
EDITOR LEDdER-SIR In your
daily issue of the 18th ult YOU have
an account Of the killing of the col
ored man helms by the deputy sheriff,
MIR. Kim Armistead, which from later
and more recent developments | am
afraid does Mr.. Armistead. Justice
Stewart and the parties named injus-
tice. By order of Governor Stone, of
this State, a reheafing of the case was
had on the 18th at fernando before
the mayor and two justices of the
peace, where all the witnesses were
present, and after a full hearing of the
case Mr.. Armistead was again ac-
quilted and %exonerqted from all blame,
and by its action the judges fully
affirmed and ratified the decision
previously rendered. The testimony
of some of the witnesses for the prof
%ecution on the 18th was so vague and
different from what it was before the
inquest that hardly any credance or
belief could be attached to it (their
testimony.
In regard to Armistead making any
threats on hisreturn, after Nelms, with
gun in hand, had advised him to turn
the horse loose, is incorrect, SO far as
my knowledge extends. The ~retrial
of the case before the three justices of
the peace in a different district, and
the acquittal of Mr.. A., proves con
clusively that he was acting in his line
of duty as an executive officer, as it
was demonstrated that he had a war
rant to arrest helms. Mr.. Armistead
has been a deputy sheriff here for
some time, and | have always heard
him spoken of as a prompt, efficient
and faithful officer. The excitement
amongst the colored people was in
tense, but since the trial and acquittal
at fernando, has entirely subsidized
and the general expressed sentiment
in the immediate vicinity of the late
tragedy now is, that Armistead was
forced to do the act in his line of duty
and in self-defense, which later de-
velopments have justified. In regard
to the first trial the impression was
general that it was held by Justice
Stewart, but l have learned since that
Mr.. Armistead surrendered to Justice
Halliday, who acquitted Mr.. a..
which was confirmed by the fernando
trial.
To-day is tho first time that | have
seen your issue of the 18th. Would
have written earlier had | known of
the published account, Please give
this space in your columns, for l am
afraid from latest developments of the
case, the article might do the parties
injustice. Yours,
JOSEPH A. TERRY.
