AT POINT OF DEATH
A Charlton Colored Man is Badly
Out Up.
RECEIVES NINE CASHES ON BODY
Another coored Man Is Under Arrest
Charged With the Crime Which May
Amount to Murder - The Trouble
Originated Over a Lawsuit,

Charlton, Oct 5.-Walter Scott a
colored man, lies at the point of death
from the effects of knife thrusts and
Henry Miller, another colored man, is
in jail charged with the crime. Scott
is badly cut across the face, on the
neck, on the leg, in the back and in the
side nine deep gashes in all. The
trouble originated over law suit
which was to have been he!S in JUS
tice Longs court at O'CLOCK Friday
afternoon. 1t seems that Miller had
search warrent issued for the home
of Alfred Shelton where Scott was
boarding claiming Mrs. Shelton had
some of his household goods. Mrs.
Shelton gave up the lot of goods claim
ed, saying they did belong to Miller
and that they had been left there by
his brother. Friday Miller swore out
another search warrent for some chairs
which he claimed belonged to- him.
The chairs were found but Mrs. Shell
ton refused to give them up claiming
she could prove her ownership. There
was to have been trial at 3 p. m. but
about noon Scott called Miller out of
the cigar store with the purpose as
he claims Of securing settlement
without law suit. During the dis
pute that followed the lie was passed
and filler, it is alleged drew a pocket
knife and slashed Scott across the
face. The latter began to back off
kicking at Miller as he went, Miller
it is said followed him up and cut him
again. Scott then started to run and
Miller it is charged struck him again,
Scott then tripped and fell and Mil
Ter was upon him again and struck
him with the knife, it is charged.
while he was down. Scott then kicked
Miller Of and started to run
again when Miller struck him
again, it is alleged. Scott
ran around the Herald Office and aross
the street to Copeland's bicycle shop,
followed by Miller with his knife still
open. When Scott reached the shop
he sank to a chair. Miller then gave
himself up to the officers. Scott was
taken home and cared for by physic.
ians who say his condition is serious
and that he may not recover. His
neck Is cut deeply. His hip has all
the flesh cut off. Scott will probably
die and Miller is in Jail awaiting de-
velopments. He claims his work was
done in self defense. 1t is claimed
that Miller has been in several scrapes
