The BlackmOn Homicide

Lancaster cor. News and Cour-
ier: Sheriff Hunter continues his
efforts to fathom the mystery
surrounding the recent killing of
Mr.. Ben +. Blackmon, in this
county. Only negroes witnessed
the homicide, and they, until
quite recently, have been very re-
luctant to talk about the matter.
their meagrc statements THROWING
little or no light on the killing.
Within the last few days, how,
ever, some of those present have
talked more freely with the sheriff
and others. One of them, in fact,
Bill Gregory, has gone so far as
to give his version of the killing
in the shape of an affidavit. And
two of the parties in Jail charged
with beng accessories to the mur-
der have certified in writing to the
correctness of Gregory's sworn
statement, which directly coutra.
diets the claim of Sandy Evans,
the man who did the shooting,
that he fired in sclf-defence-that
Mr.. Blackmon was beating him
on his head with demiiohn at
the time.
Gregory swears, in substance.
that Mr.. Blackmon did not strike
Evans, nor did he make any at
tempt to do so. According to
Gregory, all the parties were in
the house of Sebron Miller. Il ten,
ant on MIR. Blackmon's plantation.
when the wife of Evans said
something about his not coming
home. Mr.. Blackmon remarked
to her that she was ''jealous heart
ed, y whereupon the woman ours
ed him. With an oath, Mr.. Black
mon told her to "go on. =" Evans
then said 81 don't allow no =
man to curse my wife. +" Mr..
Blackmon walked out of the house
and said: eff you want me YOU
can get me-"
Evans came out ON the door
step and, saying: cd d-n
you," commenced to shoot Mr..
Blackmon, firing three shots in
rapid succession.
Evans, says Gregory, was
standing on the second step when
he did the shooting, which state
ment is consistent with the course
of the two bullets that struck Mr.
Blackmon, both ranging down
ward. Gregory swears that when
Evans began shooting Mr.. Black
non had a glass in his right hand
and demijohn in his left, and that
when shot he dropped both glass
and dcmijohn, turned and fell to
the ground without speaking.
Gregory procured light aud up
on examining Mr.. Blackmon
found that he was dead. The
demijohn, he says, was picked up
by Evans, who struck it againsta
tree, breaking it.
Evans will probably be tried ut
the next term of Court, which
convenes on the % instant.
