A Murderer Kiddled With Bullets.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April II
Charles Bagsley, the negro who killed
Officer Wood at Blockton few days
since, was shot and killed by posse at
Johns Station, yesterday. Several
officers learned that the negro was con
cealed in negro house near Johns, and
going there demanded his surrender.
Instead, as in the former instance,
Bagsley opened fire with two pistols
Deputy John Saunders fell painfully
wounded, and Bagsley broke out of the
rear door Of tho house and ran. Before
he had gone many steps the crowd
opened fire on him, and he fell with
fully twenty bullet holes in his body.
Death was instantaneous.
