RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. pa few days
ago, these dispatches gave an account
of the murder of John Bare and Ed
ward Long,in Allegheny County, North
Carolina, by Daniel Slaughter, OF Vir-
ginia, cattle buyer, who had been IN
that section some time. He Was in
vited to a wedding at the house OF a
man named Robinson. In one room
sat an old man, relative of the bride,
and to him Slaughter behaved in a very
insulting manner. Some OF those pres
en5 forced Slaughter to Leave the house
and it was thought there would be no
trouble, but 10 a short time the man
returned. He renewed the disturbance,
whereupon friend of the family stood
between him and the crowd and told
MIN to keep quiet. Suddenly Slaught-
er drew knife, and, without warning
jumped at Bare and stabbed him to
the heart, Death was instantaneous.
Slaughter was not satisfied and made
another cut at him, but the bride
spraug forward and seizsd Slaugnter's
arm. He drew the knife from her,
cutting her in the hand. The crowd
began to move, and Slaughter jumped
for the doorway, where Long stool,
who was quite young. He, too, was
killed in an instant, and then Slaught-
er dashed out of the door. Pursuit be-
gan at once, and the next morning the
murderer was found not far away. The
country is very wild and he did nos
know his way. Ao inquest was held.
There was no doubt Of Slaughter's
guilt, and be did not deny it, assigning
as cause of the killing that the peo-
pie at the house were croWding him
aud sIapping him. Au attempt was
then made to lynch him, but for some
reason it failed. The people were
greatly wrought up by the brutal muir
der, and Slaughter was hurried to jail
at the little mountain town Of Sparta.
The jalier was Vigilant, but as the
night passed without any appearance
of a lynching party, be began tc think
Slaughter was safe. Sparta is far away
from any railway or telegraph line.
News has just reached here from FL
kin, the nearest point, that MOB mad
gone to the jail and roade a most de-
termined attack on the building. The
taller was on hand. and when the mob
adyancedln defiance ofh warning he
shot one of the men in it. He Was
quickly captured. Slaughter was tax
en- out and hanged near the jail. It Is
coDjectured that among the mob were
people who were at the wedding and
saw the double murder committed.
