HAMBURG'S TRAGEDY.
Cassinis Father Denies Handing His
SON "a Revolver.

SON "a Revolver.
Augusta, Ca, June 2S.-The negro who
was so seriously shot across the river in
Hamburg on Saturday evening still fingers
between life and death at the negro hos
pital The young fellow, John Cassini, who
shot him, is still at large, but his father,
who works at a marble yard in Augusta,
was arrested this forenoon. The senior
Cassini talks very broken English but his
statement differs widely from the tesi-
mony of all the witnesses to the shooting.
He says that he did not go with his son to
shoot the negro, but when he reached
home was told that the boy had left with
a gun and his pistol togo after the negro
He Immediately pursued his son to dis
suade him, and reached the lumber yard
just In time to see the shooting, but did
not give him a pistol.
The story of the difficulty as given by
the men at the brick yard is that the ne
gro, Allen Johnson, was pushing a load Of
brick in a wheelbarrow over a narrow
plank walk. That he met young Cassini
walking on the plank. and ordered him to
get out Of the way. Young Cassini refus
ed. and the negro showed ahead with his
wheelbarrow and knocked him off the
plank Cassini went home and got a gun
and returned, his father accompanying
him. After emptying two loads of buck
shot into the negro, he then received a
pistol from his father and shot several
times more. The shooting caused such
CONSERVATION that nobody interfered. and
the two Cassinis walked of undisturbed

Midwife. Ga, June 2S.-Dr. Fitzpatrick
left here this afternoon presumably for
Waynesboro having purchased a ticket
for that point. He received a telegram
from Phil Johnston, his attorney, at
Waynesboro advising him to come there
at once. He seemed surprised to get the
message. and said he had no idea why he
was wanted.
An intimate friend claims he did not go
to Waynesboro, and that the purchasing
Of ticket for that place was only a ruse.
The reason the public is interested in his
whereabouts IS that the sheriff, when
here, remarked that in case DR.. Kilpat-
rick was rearrested it would not be nee
essaFy to come for him, but simply notify
him to come to Waynesboro, as he seemed
ready for trial and anxious for an oppor-
tunity to vindicate himself before the pub
