Taken There Yesterdsy to Aiswer ia Pebraary the Charge of Mnrder. Tells of His Escape. Arthur Bishop, the young travelling man who aarrendered himself at his home in Petersburg Sunday night, was taken yesterday to Charlotte, where on the second week in February he will be arraigned in the Superior Court for the murder of Mr. Thos. J. Wilson. The particulara of the crime are well known in Wilmington, where Bishop has a wide acquaintance. The Richmond Dispatch of yester day, in giving an account of Bishop's surrender, contains the following in a special from Petersburg: "Bishop claims that he ahot Wilson in self-defence, and that he shot only after he had been thrice struck over the head with a stick. He exhibits the bruises caused by the blows. He says he never saw Mr. Wilson before that fatal night, and that he would not know him now if he were to see him. alivr. The blows on bis bead were atruck with such violence. Jie says, that he waa temporarily- dazed, and ahot, hardly knowing what he did, aave to protect himself. Mr. Bishop declined, when seen this morning, to make any further statement as to the shooting, deeming it best that all the facta should be withheld until the trial. It waa the first time he had ever been in Mr. Wilson's house, and be was there then by invitation. ''While Bishop refused to talk on the details of the fatal occurrence in Wilson's house, he told without re straint of bis subsequent adventures. After the shooting he escorted to her home the young lady with whom he went to Mr. Wiison's. Later, as he was standing on the street, a man who was passing stopped and asked him for a match. The match was furnished, and the stranger volunteered the in formation that a man -had just been killed down the street by a drummer, whose name he did not know. "Bishop lost his hat at Wilson's and he borrowed a cap from a friend, which very much changed his appear ance. Wearing this, he returned to the Buford Hotel, where he had been stopping, and where the news of the shooting had not yet been brought, and boldly went up to his room. He found his door locked, and feeling the need of rest, he took the elevator to another floor, where he went to bed. He was afterwards informed that the hotel was being watched by the po lice. He remained in the hotel until Wednesday morning, and about noon left Charlotte on a tramp of 52 miles by public road to New London. He bad effectually concealed hia identity by shaving off hia moustache and wearing the cap that had been given him, and buttoning up his overcoat about his face. "The first day he travelled 32 miles, and at night slept in a barn. The sec ond night, near New London, he alept in a bay rick. At New London he took a train to Salisbury, going about in public and making no effort to con ceal himself. Friday night he took a sleeper on the Southern railroad for Norfolk, reaching the latter city Sat urday morning. He walked the streets a greater part of ithe day, passed a number of policemen, and recognized a number of friends, who, however, faiied to recognize him; and at 7.30 P. 11. boarded the passenger train for Petersburg. He had considered the matter of surrendering himself in Charlotte or at his home in Petersburg, and decided on the latter coarse, be cause of the feeling against him in Charlotte. And then, too, the desire was strong with him to see his family." COLUMBUS TELEPHONE CONNECTION Special Meetiag of the Chamber of Com merce Called for This Afternoon.
