sent, ana Il score o1 men nurrleu atroSS
the lot, following in Carberry's foot
steps. The majority Of them were of
Adams own color, but there were a
few white men among them, and many
threats were made as the men hurried
along.
Near TO Cannon's saloon a man met
them "Hc'S upon Elliott'S porch,
said he, and the mob hurried forward,
and rushing around cried to the crouch
ing fugitive to come down and give
| himself ur He saw that he was out
Ofharm's way for the time being and
refused, Mr.. Cannon came around and
smoke to the enraged men. "Don' t do
any thing rash, boys said he, LET the
law take its course, whatever you do,
and that will be better" Then he call
ed for help, and he ana George Buck
and Charles Sluice Went up stairs and
brought Carberry down.
| ARRESTED AND LOCKED UP.
Carbcrry gazed fearfully at the low
cring crowd, but made no effort to es-
cape and 10 offer was made To assault
him. He walked quietly along with
the three men, who at once started
with him toward the city hall. At
Third street bridge they met Policeman
Thomas Mccormick, and he took the
prisoner in charge. Carberry hal moth
ing to say, except once he remarked,
"that the other side of the question,
(his side lad not been heard. The
least You say Morris is the best oryou,
cautioned the officer That's 50, he
answered, ana he kept quiet until ne
was locked up and since then he has re-

THE MURDERED MAN.
Adams, aS stated, died in Il short time.
| The bullet entered his let; breast Just
to the right Of the nipple, and it Is like
| lv that it touched his heart, although
the coroner has not vet had poStmor-
TEN examination made Adams was a
quiet and inotlrnSivc negro, aged about
- years, and lived in the neighborhood
Of Fourth and Union streets. He has
wife and three children. He is Il good
worknrn, and one OF the better class Of
his race, being a skilled mechanic haV-
ing charge Of cutting by iron machln-
cry at the old Ferry Mill.
He is not n day laborer, but works by
the Job, and comes to his work and
goes away when he cares 20. lie has
been in the employ of the Diamond
State Iron Company for from three to
four years, and has always given salts
faction. He was at work last night un-
til about 8 o'clock, and came to 60 to
work earlier than usual. Those who
know Adams say he is not al all quar-
rrlSomc, and no one saw any prOvOca-
ton on his part before the shooting.
THE PISTOL.
The pistol with which the shooting
was done is IL thirty-two calibre rcv"I-
yer, seven shot, and when Carherry
tossed it away it fell on the ground and
the chamber came ont. A man named
Cook picked itup. 1t seems that Car
| berry has been very trcein drawing MS
pistol and that he has drawn it ON
Adams on several previous occasions
when he (AdamS,) tried to go through
the door. This is what the murdered
man alluded to Just before the shooting
when he said: "You have drawn that
pistol on ne three or four times before.
THE CAUSE OF THE CRIME.
A careful investigation fails to re-
veal any cause for the shooting other
| than anger and Immature. 1t is true
| that Carherry had orders to allow no
one pass through the door at which he
was stationed except people on business.
Adams was on business and had been
told to pass through by McClattcrty,
who is one of the bosses.
1t is not known whether Carberry
had been drinking or not, but some of
the workmcn said they thought he had
"sworn Oft. 81 did not notice anything
like that about him." said Mr.. McClaf-
terty to a REPUBLICAN, repOrter, land
he did not seem to be acting in strange
way, except that his face got pale as he
drew the pistol, and | noticed blush
cast about his mouth.
The accounts of all who saw the affair
agree with the details as given above.
THE MAN WHO DID THE SHOOTING.
Morris Carberry, who has put him
self in such an unenviable position, by
committing II cOd-blOOded murder, is
about 5S years of age, and an lrishman
by birth. He came from Ireland to
| Pennsylvania where for time he ell
gagged in farming, and stock raising,
and made considerable money. He
came from there to Wilmington and
went into the tea business, and SubSe-
quently he started II tobacco factory
near Ninth and Poplar streets. III this
last enterprise he was unfortunate and
Lost considerable money.
In the fall of 1872, Carberry having

asa watchman at the Diamond State
Rolling Mill. During the spring and
winter he was in charge of the gymna-
stun of the Wilmington Athletic AS
sociation, and was performing the dou-
BILE duty of janitor at that place and
day watchman at the mill when the
! tragedy occurred. He was queer but
not generally quarrelsome. and has had
family troubles, which caused him to
not live at home for n while. He has IL
wife and three grown up children-two
daughters and a son. He lives at No
3l2 East Ninth street.
CARBERRv AND BIG FRANK.

was given considerable notoriety on
account of his connection with the ar
rest of "Big Frank" the bank burglar

! street, it will be remembered, and eX-
changed shots with him. 1t was through
Carherry's inStrumentality that Frank
was brought TO justice.
