Before any witnesses were called, States
Attorney William S. Evans gave the jury
short history of the case, and said he would
not ask the jury to render Il verdict of murder
in the first degree. but thought he would be
justified by the evidence to be presented
later in asking for verdict of murder in the
second degree.
State Senator Austin L. Crothers as one of
the counsel for the prisoner, also gave a brief
account Of the affair.
1t was agreed, the States Attorney stated,
that both sides acknowledged that the man
died from the bullet wound received at Perry
vile. ard therefore they would not have the
doctors from Baltimore present, who made
the post -mortcm examination.
Constable William p. Windish, the prisoner
was next called. He stated he has lived in
Wilmington for the last thirty years. Had
been county constable for about six years.
That he went to PcrryviIle with Detective
William Jones after four necros who had shot
they got there, they learned that three men
had stoned one of the fast trains near Wood
burn tower on that afternoon. Walked up
the railroad and when coming back. saw
three colorcd men lying along the bank.
Noticed their description, and one Of them
answered the description Of one OF the men
wanted for stone throwing. When he met
Jones he had two prisoners, who nodded to
him that there were others in the box car.
Went to the ear, and realizing the dangerous
characters of some Of these men. drew my
revolver and rested it on the car floor, which
was about up to my shoulders. Heard Il
noise inside and cried "come out lust
then n man started forward, and l cried
"halt,' but the man rushed forward and
swung around the car door and started to
jump. In some manner my revolver went off
without my intention or without aim. | did
not know anyone was shot until told. | went
where the man was and asked some of the
people there il there was a doctor
in town. l took charge of the prisoner
and told Detective Jones to send for physi-
elan. Brought the prisoners to the Elkton
jail and gave myself up to Sheriff j. Ross
Conoly.
William Booker, colored, the man whom
Windish had under arrest when he shot
Terra stated that the officer had hold of
him when the revolver WAS discharged. Did
not think he took aim. Didn't notice his
hand or see anything to indicate shat he shot
purposely. He thought Terraz was about
ready to jump when the revolver was dis
charged.
Detective Jones told about his mission to
Pe'ryville. Did not see the shooting.
