Crump relates that the physicians had

AARON BURR'5 PISTOLS.
A Formidable Pair OF Weapons, With One
of Which Hamilton Was Killed.
louisville Courier-JournaI.l

louisville Courier-Journal.l
Some weeks ago l ran across perhaps the
most famous and fatal firearms OIL this con-
tinent-tbe superb duelling pistols of Aaron
Burr. They are a Undertaking brace of
the first caliber, and the property
of Captain Brent Hopkins, of this
ball that killed Alexander Hamilton
at Weehawken. 1t is identified by a
long. deep notch indented on the handle
The pistols we're made by Mortimer of Lon
don, England. and were imported by Burr
at the close of the Revolutionary War. The
barrels re thirteen inches long and carry an
ounce ball. They are hint-locks, and the
pans for the prim. ng are lined with gold, and
same metal. They are hair triggers
and shoot with great force and &C.
curacy. The locks are very superior
and of exquisite mechanism. The
pair came into the possession OF Captain
Brent Hopkins, the present owner, throue b
his uncle, Captain Sam Goode Hopkins of
the Forty second Regiment of United Statts
Dragons, who purchased them from Bnrr
in Washington City, In the winter of 1918 or
1914, paying $500 in gold for them. Burr
remarked at the time that he would not let
anyone else have the pistols, as he had used
them with Hamilton.
The weapons have surely blood-stained
history. They have been used with fatal
effect in eleven duels. Among the sanguin-
airy combats, Pettis, of Virginia, killed
Biddle on Bloody Island near ST. Louis;
Edward Towns of Virginia, killed French
man near New Orleans; Captain Sam Goode
Hopkins killed Spanish Count near
Madrid. Mo-; Hugh Brent killed a man
from Georgia on Diamond Island. below
Henderson, KY. They were used several
times in Virginia, twice in South Carolina,
and more than once in Kentucky, with
deadly effect. Robert Triplett, of Owens
boro, shot the old lawyer, Phil Thompson,
of that city, through and through with one
of them, but, strange to say, Thompson re-
covered, and grew as fat as a bear. Henry
Clay and Captain Hopkins were fast friends,
and the former was to have used the pistols
in one of his duels, but they arrived day
too late.
