Shooting Scrape Saturday
Lewis Pitt was waylaid and shot on
Saturday night last. The scene ol
the shooting was oh Nash street ju it
bejond its intersec ion with the Stan
tonsLur roid almost at the spot at
which Nettie Jones was murdered a
few weeks ago.
Two negroes, John Spader and
Bill Ayers, have been arrested,
charged with the shooting. The ball
entered Pitt's back just below the
shoulder blade and has not been lo
cated. No cause is assigned for the
act, altho there is some rumor that
he was commanded to hold up his
hands and was asked if he had any
money. On his attempting to run the
shot was fired. Pitt finally succeeded
in getting into the house of a man
named Harris'thereby ridding bimsd
of his oursuers.
-The whole occurrence looks like a
piece ol wanton deyilitry. This view
of it is made the more pronounced
when we consider the fact that the
same parties- had previously halted
another man and threatened to shoot
him it he offered any resistance.
Oh Monday afternoon the prison
ers were taken to Pitt's house that he
might 'identify them this he did
without hesitation, stating that Ayers
was the man who did the shooting,
while Sawder was his other assailant.
