ATT0RNEY-GEN. KILLS NEGRO.
PEOPLES ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTS
MAN AT ELKS CLUB IN CO.
LUMBIA.
Was Showing Pistol to Fricnd-Sher-
if Orders Deputy to Accompany
Attorney General to Governors
Mansion.

Columbia, Dec. 5.-Robert Mar
shall, cOlored, was killed tonight by
Attorney General Thomas III. Peoples
at the Elks' Club in this city, where
the negro was employed as chef. The
inquest will be held at noon tomor-
row. According to those at the club
the shooting was entirely accidental
and Mr.. Peoples is sorry beyond ex-
preston at the happening.
1t was q pistol shot, the ball pierre
ing the brain of the negro. The oc-
currence was about 10 o'clock tonight.
Mr.. Peoples rested tonight at the gov
ernors mansion, where he went just
after the shooting took place.
Governor Blease was out of .ie
city, being at his home in Newberry.
He made an effort, according &c
friends, to come here late tonight. but
could not reach the city. He is ex-
pected to return early tomorrow.
The news OF the shooting spread
about the city. although every effort
was made to keep it quiet. Many
friends thought it best not to publish
anything about the affair, according
to those at the club tonight, others
deemed it best that the facts be
known. The details will come out to-
morrow at the cOroners inquest.
Sheriff Mccain was on hand person
ally at the club soon after the shoot
ing and on the suggestion that Mr.
Peoples get q good nights rest at the
mansion he sent a deputy with him
Sheriff Mccain was heard to express
the opinion that this was a matter
Of form, although the shooting was
explained as accidental.
j. +. Weaver, attendant at the club
is quoted as saying that Mr.. Peoples
was passing a gun over the counter to
him when it exploded, the bullet

entered at centre Of right temple and
came out OF left tempe.
A brother Of the dead negro was
present at the sh. ,ting He afterwards
stated that he had heard no words
pass between his brother and Mr.
Peoples, and the first thing he knew
was the report of the pistol, which he
was very much surprised to hear. The
brother is an employee of the club
also. 1t has been very difficult to Sc
cure any coherent statement Of the
affair tonight and will be until after
the inquest at noon tomorrow before
all the details will be obtainable; all
those present agree, however, that
the shooting was accidental.
Mr.. Peoples was asked for a state.
ment, and said he would make one to-
morrow.

A negro giving his name as Moses

phoned in for coroner to come and
hold the inquest. However, as he was
late in arriving at the scene, Magis-
