BOYS BULLET
KILLS BROTHER
BY ACCIDENT

Norman Luther capwell. aged 10. was
shot and almost instantly killed by bull
let from a gun In the hands OF his broth
or clarke A. Capwell. aged II. fired by
accident in barn in the rear OF the
capwell home, III Arnold avenue, Edge
wood. shortly before 4:3o o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
Medical Examiner Longfellow officially
declared death due 10 accident and gave
permission for the removal OF the body.
The dead boy was one OF the five chill
dren OF William A. Capwen. manager or
the Olneyvile branch OF the Union trust
company.
The two boys. with Granville Wilcox
and Richard Dennis about the same age
were engaged in rigging up spring
gun" I'm the barn with which to shoot
rats string had been attached to the
trigger of a .22-calibre 20-shot magazine
rife and the muzzlo trained upon rat
hole across the area. The string was then
passed through an eyelet In stall post
against which the butt rested and thence
through a hole I'm the ceiling, through
which the boys were 70 watch for the rat.
Clarke Capwell was working over the
contrivance while his brother, Norman,
and the other two boys were some dis
lance away out OF line with the rat hole.
Clarke says he thought all three OF the
others were standing TO the right or the
direction in which the rifle was pointing.
but Norman had shifted his position with
out being noticed by his brother, so that
ne stood on the left of the line OF fire.
Clarke lifted the rifle from its resting
place 10 see that II was In proper work
Ing order and swung the muzzle to the
left believing that his brother and the
others were still standing on his right.
This action caused the string Fastened 10
the trigger TO tighten and the rifle was
discharged
The bullet struck Norman full In the
forehead just above the back OF the right
eye and penetrated the brain.
Or. Charles Mathewson responded and
with Dr. Frank A. Fearney. who also was
summoned afforded what relief they
could. A hasty examination Indicated the
fatal nature OF the wound, however. and
death ensued few moments after the
arrival of the physicians and within 10
minutes after the shooting without the
victim having regained consciousness.
Mr. and Mrs. Capwell, the parents,
were away from home at the time, but

IN the house, FASTENED into the barn and

1t was il, August, 1862, that Long

Bull Run range through Thoroughfare
gap to fail suddenly on the flank of
Pope's army at Manassas, and make
that III fated Virginia township for
second time the scene of bloody earn
age. Since then more than forty lazy
Southern summers have passed over
the graves of the thousands who march
ed down from the hills never to return,

by the gap they will tell you that each
year there comes night when the gray

the last time. In the night one Of the
slaves, young woman, rose stealthily,
as he lay. BY his keys she released
the party. and they separated and
sought to escape.
No inquiry can ascertain what be-
came of this unfortunate party. Seine
of the old residents say the girl made
her way successfully to freedom. There
is another story that she was captured
and made an example Of" We can
we'll imagine what this would mean.
In the late SOS the attitude of tie
slaves in this part of Northern Vir-
GINA was rebellious and defiant to a
great degree. 1t was within a mile Of
Triplett's hill that the white residents
found over 100 muskets, that had been
brought into the neighberhood under
ground stored in a cabin and ready
for the black mems hands when they
should rise. Northern abolitionists
were among the negroes melting them
to rise in rebellion. The race and Sec
tional feeling was high. and it was
at this epoch that the famous Black
Horse cavalry was organized, it being
primarily night patrol, whose purpose
was to ride the roads, send all blacks
home when found roaming. and break
up all meetings of negroes and attempts
at organization.
Under such conditions. In a country
patrolled by riders whose authority
was of the nature OF a vigilance COM
mittee, who held slave life at trifiing
value, and who owned bloodhounds, II
is hardly possible that the slave girl
who had murdered her prosecutor could
escape. And what the vengeance would
have been on black who had MUIR
dered white at such time 1t Is
painful to conjecture. But whatever
