A Negro Killed and the Affair Wrapped
In Mystery.
New BERNE, N. c., May 23.-Spe-
cial.-Robert Mccoy, colored, was
shot last night about 1890 o'clock,
the ball passing entirely through
his heart, from which he died.
About 1O:45 William rushed into the
Office of DR.. Leinster Duffy, on
Broad street, between Hancock and
Middle, aud stated that a man had
shot at dog in the street and had
hit him. DR.. Duffy at once took the
wounded man into his rear Office
and proceeded to examine the
wound, but Mccoy soon fell over
| dead.
An autopsy today reveals the fact
that the ball passed through the
heart, and yet he walked or run
over four squares to the Doctors
where he expired, if the point o1
the shooting has been correctly
stated as near the railroad station
There is much mystery about the
affair, and the coroner is busy to
night investigating. twenty-five o.
mere witnesses have been sum
moned, but none are known to hav'
seen the shooting or know who i
was done by. A verdict will proba
