statement, he went to Mr.. Williams house
to see Mr.. Roundtree, when he was ordered

and borrowed the musket under the pre-
tense that lie wanted to shoot a squirrel in
the woods. After getting the muSket he
again went to Mr.. Williams, when, Ridley
says Williams attacked him with q pitch
fork. Then it was he pointed the weapon
at him and it was accidentally discharged.
4 posse of men had been searching all
through the country for the murderer, who
is about thirty-five years of age and weighs
1G0 pounds. The feeling against Ridley in
Sussex county is very bitter. and 1t is be-
lieved that he will certainly he lynched.
He will be taken to Sussex Court House
