Coroner Gregory empanelled jury, and
an inquest was held the rext MOI ming, and
the following is synopsis Of The testimony
alduced:
The testimony of Elias Bomar, co'ored,
was that Murrah nnd Bishop were in his
store, and the frs, thing he knew of any

ting Mt Murrah. The men were parted aud
Mu'rah was put out of the back door aud
Bishop out of the front door. In o short time
du,rah came hack and shot Bishop; the ball
catering just above the nipple. Both men
seemcl to be Intoxicated. Heard no threats
from either men during tic difficulty. As
the pistol fired the men clinchcd, and both
went out the Of the front door, where Bishcp
fell an died in ten or fifteen minutes.
Warren Sloan, colored, was in Bomar's
store when the difficulty commenced. Muir
rah and others were talking when Bishop
came in, Murroh told Bishop that he hal
cursed him during the day, and snid,
Bishop, you have been in the penitentiary
and worked like n d-n niger" At that
Bishop caught Murrah and jerked him
about the store with q knife in his hand
and cutting at Murrah. I caught Bishops
hand as it was RAISED to cut Murrah. Char
lie Jones took, him by the other hand. We
got them APART and pu. them out of tho
Sto'c. Bishop soon came back cursing
Murrah, thrca' a'ening to kill him, waving
his knife. AS ] was turning to the counter

jumped into the $ ore and shot Bishop. The
men then clinched and went scuffling out of
the front door where Bishop fell. Murrah
then called for the police, saying, al have
killed the d-n of a b-h." 1t was ten or

first put out until Murrah returned and
shot Bishop.
The verdict of the jury was: That

lent death was not surprise to many who

fate of all such desperate characters that we
have known. Murrah is in Jail, and will
apply to Judge Wallace fer release om bail,
