THE SHOOTING OF RICHARDS.
CHARLESTON, s. c., March 10.-The state
constables and posse surrounded Cash's quar-
tiers, before day this morning, but did not
find Began Cash. The Neos and Courier re-
ports Cash not in the neighborhood since
Saturday night. 1t is said he was seen in the
swamp last night with dozen armed men.
There is little doubt that If he does not soon
surrender, he will be captured or killed. The
murderer, at all events, is now confined to
the swamp. His capture is regarded only as
a matter of time. The Nears and Courier pub
fishes the following letters tomorrow:
CAsH's DEPOT, Feb. 81, 1SS4.-Dear
Friend: l received the message sent me
through Mr.. King Timmons, and beg to as
sure you have no ill-feeling in the world
towards you for what you said against me.
l know men are apt to say and do under ex-
element that which they would be unwilling
to do upon reflection. 1 am glad you are
willing to give fair hearing. I have no re-
greet whatever for shooting Richards, and
hope he may die. My only regret is, the ac-
cidental wounding of Mr.. Coward, who I am
proud to hear is now on the mend. Truly
yours, Began CASH.
CAsH's DEPOT, s. c., Feb 90, 1Ss4.-My
Dear Friend: Madison has told me you are
under the impression that Began and l are
angry with you. We are not angry with you
now, nor have we been angry with you at
any time. We know how natural it is for all
to sympathize with the fellow who gets the
hot end of the poker, and men are apt to
make remarks before they stop to inquire
into all the particulars. If Began had not
killed Richards / would have done it the
same day he was shot, and if he had recov
cred intended to kill him on sight. We
have heard from 500 people, and there is al
most universal rejoicing over the act, and
we have heard of ouly three men who con-
denim the deed. Of course our enemies will
try to blow, but we ask no odds. Your truly,
[Signed. E. B. CASH.
