Special to the News and Observer. Chablotte, N. C., July 15. The bell rang from the court house in Lexington this morning about 8 o’clock, and the people from far and near hur ried to the build mg, some driving their carts on as they ran. The prisoner, Shemwell, was sent for and the judge pressed his way through to his seat. ‘•There is one juryman who wants in structions,” said Foreman Prim, the Quaker, and immediately there arose Yarnier, another juror. Yarnier said the solicitor had charged or said that they must find either that Shemwell should hang or that he should go free. Then the judge went over the charges the second time in a brief way, where upon it was observed that Foreman Prim nodded to juror Yarnier in away that seemed significant, and the jury re turned to the little side room. Then all those who had come began leaving the building, and as the judge was on the stairway going down, the jury knocked at the door, and were again admitted to the court room, and the judge was summoned back and all re | turned, some of the counsel, however, getting no further than the door in the crush; for even defender Watson said he did not then expect the jury to return before night. All was still. The prisoner stood up and faced the jury; his face was white and steady, free from all emotions. Without formality foreman Prim in an swer to the formal question, said “Not guilty.” The prisoner sat down. There arose a hubbub, and the beginning of a shout, and the judge was prompt to tell the sheriff to arrest all who had joined in the uproar, and all became passably tjuiet again, when the judge said: “The prisoner is discharged. ” Then the peo ple crowded about him in great numbers, and presently there came through the crowd, his wife, who at last reached her husband, and threw herself upon him and wept copiously, and Dermott also, Shemwell’s little son, had his arms about his father, and he was weeping too, and then the father wept. And the wife re peated her embraces several times, until she was somewhat subsided in her paroxysm of joy. That was all. The Paynes were not present at the time of the rendering of the verdict, nor was defender Watson at the time of the entering of the wife. “He knew she would come in a moment,” he said, and he escaped from the building, for he said he did not wish to see th ?.t meet ing. ’There was an orderly, but crowd ed passing from the court room, and the people wondered what would be the re sult in the village. And when they had scattered about and talked for awhile, there seemed to spread over the place a feeling of calm satisfaction, not only that the case was ended, but also that the prisoner was free. There was no mur mur, nor sign of discontent among the people. Many talked in the streets, many went to their homes, many went to the depot to take the trains both ways. Shemwell's words were these : “Thank God.” Dr. Lee Payne’s were these: 4 I have nothing to say except that I think that there has been a great miscarriage of justice.” Shemwell and his wife went to their home; Dr. and Mrs. Lee Payne, and the widow, Mrs. Dr. R. L. Payne, took the train south bound for Black Mountain. Also on the south-bound train were Judge Aimfield, Cy. Watson and J. C. Buxton who had been telegraphed for from Greer sboro. Watson was embrac ed at Salisbury by friends who had caught tbe tidiDgs from the wire one hour before. Judge Boykin had board ed the north-bound for Greensboro to begin his special term tfiere. Saturday afternoon late, prostrated, Mrs Shemwell had left the cc urt room, aud before reaching her room she was in a fainting condition, and the physicians could discover no pulse and there was fear of heart failure, aud a little later her father, Itev. Mr. Bernheim, came into the street, and going to where some lawyers for the State were sitting under the hotel balcony, after the ter rible day, he said, “Inhuman wretches that you are,” for Long had just finished his shivering arraign ment during which Mrs. Shem wt 11 crouched near her husband’s heart and seemed to shudder at each word as it came pointed and glittering. “Inhu man wretches,” continued the father-in law, “not satisfied with one life, you want two,” for he was thinking of his daughter, who was lying ill in the cot tage near by, and he was so troubled as to be beyond himself, but some of the counsel for the defence took him aside, among them Unney, aud quieted him for a while. This got abroad, and a feeling of sympathy for the devoted wife seemed to pervade the town, and there were ngly looks upon the faces of many, and to some there seemed to be fear of trouble during the fight, but prudence prevailed, and there was discreet silence on the part of all which doubtless averted disorder, and led to the peace that followed. When the trains meeting one another near Lexington rolled out this morning the village looked peaceful enough, and as if nothing had happened, and almost the last thing to be seen was the little church steeple in front of which had been slain a man who had been greatly beloved and great among his people. The Charlotte Observer will say edito rially in the morning that there is very little use for newspapers to denounce lynch law and seek to educate the peo pie to respect the law in the courts and yield obedience to them so long as such verdicts as this are found under such a state of facts. The expression of opin ion in this city to-day, as far as I have heard, has been without exception that of surprise and indignation at the ver dict, which has been the talk of all the people. The News says editorially this even ing: “Our high regard for courts of justice and trial by jury prevent our in dulging in criticism at this time, but we can not refrain from saying that in the estimation of fully four-fifths of our rple the verdict in the Shemwell case a miscarriage of justice. There is a settled conviction that a great crime has gone unpunished and a crim inal has escaped the justice of the law. A verdict of murder in the second de gree or even manslaughter would not have been so surprising, but that it should have been acquittal is beyond the understanding of those who expected a verdict in accordance with the evidence.” W. E. Christian. HEAD WAITER STRUCK. Hut It Was a Mole-Hill Mountain— The W ilson Military Company. Special to the News and Observer. Mobehead City, N. 0., July 15. Yesterday afternoon there was some excitement caused by the head waiter, who attempted to inaugurate a “strike” among the waiters after he had been dis missed, and ordered out of the hotel, but the troubb was speedily adjusted, and things are running smoothly again. The Wilson military company is in camp here, forty strong They are ac companied by quite a party of Wilson people, among them Mr. Frank W. Barnes, Paul Brr.nch, Edgar. K Gay. They are the best behaved set of military boys I have ever seen “off from home” for Jeneampment. In fact their good conduct was commcLtod oa by all. There has seldom been a nicer crowd of people at the Atlantic. In addition to such prominent North Carolinians, here with their families as ex-Senator Jarvis, Geo. W. Watts, L A. Carr, T. H. Martin, John O. Winder, Thos. H. Mc- Koy, Dr. Alexander, and others, there is quite a party from Arkansas, Georgia and other Southern Stales. The editors are existed down Friday night, and we ate all going fishing on Friday to get a big catch for them. DEATH OF MR. T. W. HUGHES. A Night Watchman Cut in Two by a Shif’ins Euglne. Spe.ial to the New- and Observer. Greensboro, N. C., July 15. Mr. T. W. Hughes, of Newbern, died here, between yesterday morning at 11 o’clock and tbis morning, in a room at the Benbow hotel. He registered Saturday night, and Sunday morning at break fast was seemingly* in his usual health.

TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1895. MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR. John D. Arnold Uses His Winchester Rifle on David Rives. Special to the News and Observer. Charlotte, N. C., July 15. At about 9:30 to-night in front of the Central Hotel, a man by the name of John D. Arnold raised a Winchester rifle loaded with 14 shells and shot Da vid Rives, who is the steward of the Central Hotel. There is a great crowd and sensation around and in the lobby of the hotel which is thickly packed with people, and the affair is as yet enveloped in mystery. Rives was leaning against the table talking from the outside with Ham Jus tice and Mr. Bryant, who were sitting immediately inside. At the shot Rives exclaimed, “My God, Mr. Bryant, I am shot.” He was taken up stairs and Dr. McCombs cut out the flattened bullet from the side, which had passed clear through the body. It struck between the shin and outside of the hip bone against the bone which caused It to range around, coming out about five inches below the right nipple, and the man will not die, the cavity not having been touched, Arnold was immediately taken to the station and seemed cool and insensible to the situation. He did not seem to be at all under the influence of liquor, yet he said later that he had told Ed. Robin son, a carriage driver, that he was full and wanted to be driven home. Ed. Johnson was standing almost between Rives and Arnold and says that Arnold told him to come and drive him home and then raised his rifle and shot. John son said he had known Arnold for three years and that there was no trouble be tween them. Arnold said in the station house in answer to questions that he did not know Mr. Rives and that he did not shoot any body. He seemed impatient to the gun away from the officers in the station in order to unload it, but was prevented. He called W. E. Culpeper a man well known here who said he had known Arnold for years and that he had never known him to be in any trouble. Ar nold says he was superintendent of the Charlotte cotton mills up to two months ago. At which time he said he quit his job off short, that he has been living here for three years and a half but few seem to know him. Immediately after the shooting Mr. Frank I. Osborn heard a man named Donaldson tell Arnold to stand his ground, but Arnold went off in the carriage and was caught later by policemen Rigler and Farrington in the back street. Later it was developed that he had to day sold his house and lot to D. M Fas nacht for S6OO. Wm. Rives, the brother ot tbe wounded man, worked with Ar nold in the cotton factory. Arnold told m" he sent a little boy to Brown ’Tod dington’s hardware store this afternoon for the cartridges, and he had the box with him. Some think there is a woman at the bottom, some think that the man’s mind is off, some think the Lexington tragedy may have affected him. Rives, the wounded man, says he never knew the man but slightly, and never had any trouble with him. The case will be tried in the morning. He said to me that he was on the way to the other side of town with the gun, he did not know why. The case is a great mystery, and there is a great crowd at 10:30 in front of the hotel discussing the mystery of it all. The doctor says the wound is more serious than he first thought, and may prove fatal. W. E. Christian. MILLIKEN IS INDIGNANT. And Will Return to Meet the Aceusa tien Against Him. Washington, D. O , July 15 Judge William A. Milliken, of the law branch of the Postoffice Department, gives out the following statement concerning his brother, B. H. Milliken, private secre tary to Senator Harris, who has been in dicted for entering the house of ex-Solici tor General Phillips with improper mo tives: “Mr. B. H. Milliken left town on the advice of his brother on Saturday, July 6th, with the understanding that no criminal proceedings would be bad against him. Since he has learned of the indictment aud the charges against him, he is surprised and indignant and will return to Washington to meet the accusation. A full statement of the case will be given to the press later ” A Horrible Murder Discovered.

The W itnpss Ilccame Badly Entangled when Conironted by Depositions Charging Him with Briberjr—Breaks \ Completely Down when Closely Questioned as to Some ot bis Finan cial Transactions, and Says he Doesn’t Remember. Norfolk, Va., July 15.- Court did not open until 11:05 o’clock to day, Judge Prentis, who spent Sunday with his family, arrived late on account of a de layed train. The plaintiff in the great libel suit, Rev. John E. Massey was in the witness chair awaiting him. Capt. Wise resumed the cross-examin ation of the witness, subjecting him to the severest test of the trial and com pletely breaking him down twice so com plete. y that Mr. Massey’s only answer to questions that he answered promptly and with claraneee Saturday was “I don’t remember.” On Saturday witness testified that in 1880, he had very little money on hand. His tax returns for that year showed that he had none. To-day, he said that he had about $6,000, and when the law yer confronted him with the previous sworn statement and the tax return, he answered that he must have made a mis take in giving in his property to the as sessor, lidding: “Let him that is without sin cast the first stone, and I don’t think there will be many windows ieft in Norfolk.” Winess became badly tangled when Capt. Wise confronted him with two depositions, one revealed that Mr. Mas: sey had been sued for slander and a ver dict of one cent damages given against him. The suit grew out of his alleged offer to procure as a wife for a young man a widew, well fixed, if the young man would pay him $2,000. Mr. Massey said it was false. The other deposition was to the effeet that being sent for by a man who supposed he was dy ing, Mr. Massey wrote his last will and testament. The man recovered and found that the will left everything to Mr. Massey. Witness said this was false. He admitted that this deposition had been used against him in the slander suit, and letters from John B. Baldwin and Gov. Letchen ruled out. Capt Wise: “Why, Mr. Massey, these men were dead 1” “Yes, but their signatures were gen uine,” retorted Mr. Massey. There was very UAHe wrangling among the lawyers today. Capt. Wise, when the Judge told him that he must eonfine himself to legal questions, said: “Judge, I would not have yoar dispo sition for one thousand dollars.” Judge Prentis sailed wearily and aa swered : “Captain, lam very tired.” The defence has several witnesses here from Roanoke City and Franklin county to back up the testimony of Col. Waddy, T. James, that Mr. Massey of fered him, as a member of the Legisla ture, a bribe to vote for him for United •States Senator. THE SESSION WILL BE SECRET.

GEORGIA’S SILVER CONVENTION. General Lack ot Interest Manifested on the Part of the Democrats. Atlanta, Ga, July 15.—Reports from meetings held throughout the State to-day, to elect delegates to the Free Silver Convention, to be held at Griffin on Thursday, indicate a general lack of interest. Only 12 attended the meeting at Douglassville. At Dalton there were 57 present, but all were Pop ulists but 25 At Forsyth, the meetii g was attended by but 11. At Thomastou there were only 13 present, and the same number attended in Madison. The unexpected lack of interest is at tributed to the mixed character of the convention which will inolude Populists and Republicans, which has caused the Democrats to lose interest in it. A NEGRO MURDERER LYNCHED. He was Swung to a Tree and Ills Body Riddled with Bullets. Greenville, S. C., July 15—Ira Johnson, colored, who killed a young white man named Longford, in a quar rel at Piedmont, a factory town ten miles fromj here on the 7th inst. was taken from the county jail at 3 o’clock this morning by a mob of one hundred, who carried him outside the city limits, swung him to a tree and riddled his body with ballets.
