''Considerable excitement wm caused
In the city yesterday mornin z OTer tbe
news that Mr." Joseph G. Sitton, super
in tend ant of the Maryland and Char
lotte copper mine, located in Hopewell
township; had been abor. and killed by
Mr. Thos. Lv Shields. .Tbe news of the
shooting waa brougbtto the city by Mr.
Shields himself, wbot came in and de
livered bimself np to the o3cerstating
that ha bad killed Sitton; and bad come
directly to the city to give bimself up.
Mr. Shields employed .Judge Bynnm to
defend htm, and was arraigned before
Justloa Waring for a prelintiaary bsar
ing. On appearing before the Justice,
Mr. Shields waived examination' and
was sent to jail. Hia only statement
made before the justice was that -Sit
ton aedueed my aister, and refused to
marry her, . and ! tailed him." The
prisoner atarted oat for the jail under
escort bf deputy sheriff Grifitbollowed
by an excited crowd, eager , to see and
bear all that they could. The reporter
visited Mr. Shields a abort while after
hia Incaroeratioa la tbe JaiL and found
him sitting on a chair In tbe corridor.
with hia valise and overcoat at bis feet.
He appeared cool.and collected when
tbe reporter entered, and invited on to
take a seat. On being told that our mia-
aioa was to take hia atatement of tbe
affair. Mr. Shield, snowed a great re
luctance to talk, and' for some "time
would only repeat over" and over again
that "Sitton seduced my aister, and re
fused to make reparation, and I shot
him" Mr.Shields was visibly agitated
as he spoke ot the shock the occurrence
would be to his aged father and mother.
I knew It would almost kill them,- he
said, -but I bad to do It." After some
little conversation the reporter suc
ceeded In drawing out Mr. Shields, and
be gave bia statement aboat as follows
."The ahooting occurred early fa the
morning, just after breakfast. ; Sitton
at the house of my brother. David
IL Shields, who lives near the mine, and
bat a abort distance from my boose. : 1
carried my shot gun with ma, aad on
arriving at my brother. bouse, Iset my
gun down outside the room in which
Sitton waa at the timer I went in and
found Sitton preparing tortaave. He
had bundled np bis clothing for the
purpose of lea viae;. I toid him that he
bad aedueed rny aister, and asked him
point blank it be would not make tbe
necessary reparation .by marry ins; ber.
He replied: . 'No. not now. I begged
bim to reconsider and aay that be would
marry her. Ho replied: m not do it
I'll die first. - With that I went out
side the door, picked np my gun. and
re-antering the room, ixbot him down. I
took aim at bla head, and did not look
at bim after L fired, bat turned imme
diately and : left the rqpm. locking the
door after me. As quickly aa possible
I came on to Charlotte and delivered
myself np to tbe officers. ' This is all I
want to aay about it. The killing was
justifiable, and I only did what. I ought
to have done, . M y father ie an old man.
and my mother is an old lady and this
thing will almost kill them, bat I could
not help it 1 begged 5itton to marry
my aister, whom be bad ruined, and be
refused to do it, and I killed bim.,
Oo being further interviewed, Mr.
Shields atated ' that Sitton was about
twice tbe age.of hia aister, who Is only

When he started out Tuesday morning'
to find Sitton, be carried bis shot gun
with him for the purpose of making
Sitton marry the gixL or failing in this
purpose, to kill bim.' ; He waa exceed'
ingly cautious not to give, aay of the
circumstances of the seduction, and as
the subject seemed, to be so paint al to
him, the reporter did not press him tor
a history of the caao. - He expressed no
regret at what he bad done and his only
source of solicitude appeared to be for
tbe affect it would bay on his family.

currence. ' - V'
The people in the neighborhood ot
the tragedy are greatly .stirred over the
affair, and numbers -of them came to
-the city to see what disposition would
be made of the slayer. Of Course there
are two sides to tbe affair and our office
visited several times daring the
day by neighbors to the murdered man.
who desired to relate the other side of
the tragedy, prompted they said, out of
a desire to see ; j ostlce done the fair
name or the yoang gin whom Jt is
alleged Sitton seduced. The girl was
questioned : by the 'neighbors immedi
ately after the shooting as to the: truth
ot the alleged sad action and most bit
terly denied the charts." She stated in
tbe presence of two reliable witnesses
who will give their testimony in the
court bouse, that Sitton bad : never

dressed, and was evidently shot while
sitting on the side of the bed. Blood
was upon tbe floor, as well as upon the
bed clothes, r The load from the gun
look effect la Mr. Sittou's riht temple,
making a horrible hole, . into which a
fist coold almost be Uirust. From the
appearance of the wound it is evident
that the muzzle of the gun was in close
proximity to the deceased man's bead
when the shot was fired. Death was,
of coarse, Instantaneous. ' There) are no
witnesses to the shooting, and the evi
dence that will be adduced in the court
bouse, beyond the testimony of the ao
cosed, will only be circnmstantlaL:'. ;
v One of the nelzhbors reports that
early In the morning lir. Sitton w
reading a paper in - a room on the first
floor ot Mr. David Shield" house, when
Mr. Thos. Shields entered , with a shot
gun, and asked the deceased to walk np
stairs with blmi Mr. Sitton got np and
accompanied Mr. Shields, the latter car
rying tbe gun in his hands. When the
two reached the room up stairs, Mr.
Shields shot bim down, locked tbe door
and left for Charlotte.
The tragedy is doubly sad by reason
of the family relations of the parties
engaged. A sister of Mr. Sitton married
Mr. David 1 - Shields, brother to the
slayer, and it was under this sister's
roof tbat Mr. Sitton was killed. An
other sister of the deceased 'man was
married to Bev. D. G.Cald welL Of Con
cord, bat who is now pastor of Gilead
and Prosperity ehurches, in this county.
Tne deceased came to Mecklenburg
several years ago, from Dae WesLSouth
Carolina,where be was born and raised.
For a short while after coming to this
county he taught school .in the Hope
well neighhorboed, and appeared to
gain the respect and confidence of the
community. Later, he took charge of
the books of the Maryland and Char
lotte copper mine, and was for a time
rytnaster, bat C wss recently elected
superintendent and pat in f nil charge
of the mine. A telegram' was yesterday
sent to the president of tbe mine, in
Baltimore, notifying him of the killing
of the superintendent. " Mr. Sitton
comes from a very respectable family.
and waa well thought of by the ueighr
bora. He was not married. Mr. Shields
family is one of the oldest and beet
known In the county. The slayer has
for some time been in tbe employment
of the United States Government as a
revenue officer, and baa f our brothers
living, all clever men; and all having
many friends. :
