Roseboro, -. c., July 10.
Mr.. Editor:
An erroneous impression seems to
have gotten out in regard 10 the killing
of Dan Alexson by John Bedsoe. |
was an eye witness. and attempted TO
stop the difficulty.
The facts are these: Mr.. Alexson had
made threats that he wanted to kill
Bledsoe before the excursion train
reached Autryville. | was d~oorkeeper
at rear of the second reserved car and
though AleXson attempted to get in by
me, he failed to do so, and did not get
in until the 4. G. l.. conductor came in
and unlocked the front door of the
car. The car vas almost destitute of
passengers when Alexson entered and
I directed two or three young men 10
stand on the steps outside of the car,
ia order to be out of danger from fy-
ing missiles. | entered the car and
found Bledsoe sitting in his seat, not
saying a word, while AleXsOn was ours
ing him and repeatedly. throwing his
pistol in Bledsee face. | went up 10
AleXsOn and endeavOred to quiet him,
W%hereupon he cursed me and told me if
I didn't stay out Of his way he would
kill me. AS he turned back to Mr.. BLEED
soc, that gentleman shot him in the
eve, killing him instantly. | was stand
ing so close that | expected to find
blood on my hat and clothes, or wa3
afraid that I might, but didn't. No
one was in the car except BledsOe,
Alexson and myself. Some boys were
standing at the door in the Jim Crow"
end of the car. AIeXson and Bledsoe
had never had previous trouble, though
Alexson had had some difficulty with
Bledsoe's brother. Bledsoe is an ex-
cellent young nan man Of good
character, having taught in the public
schools and is unmarried.
Mr.. Bledsoe had a hearing today at
Roseboro. before Uriah Seasons, ]. P,
and D. w. Culbreth. J. P, assisted by
NJ. NJ. Hall, mayor Of the town.
F. R. Cooper, Esq. Of the Clinton bar
represented the defendant while Mr..
- Alexson, father Of the deceased
was looking after the prosecution.
Mr.. Bledsoe vas discharged, as the
evidence showed clearly hat the
shooting was done in self-defense. Nh.
Alexson admitted that the decision 81
the court was just. This is a true
statement of the facts in the case, as
seen by the closest eye witness.
Yours,
