Exrlt.-.l.
Considerable exelteincnt has prevailed
among the colored people of this city
since '1 uesday night, occasioned by the
death of one of their race while relu-lng
to be taken to jail by a deputized officer.
The circumstances surrounding tho case
are not, evidently, understood by many,
and as many stoiles have been In circula
tion hi regard to tho lamentable occur
rence, It has aroused a feeling of hidlg
nation In the breasts of ninny colored
people, who will, doubtless, when thev
have learned the true facts, look upon it
In another light. On Tuesday night, It
was thought by some, thai the ncirroca
would seek rcdrcs through violence, but
their better Judgment prevailed and no
disturbance was raised.

Lime followed and caught up with him ;
Htorlass said to Lane, "Don't put your
hand on me." Lnno told him (Storla's)
to stop; Storlns turned down Sixth
street towards Walnut street, and mo
tioned to Lauo not to follow him. Mr.
Sargent then brought Storlass back,
Storlnsssald, "Mr. Lane, did you call me
it d n black son of u b h? I don't
take that oil' ot no man." Saw them go
along a little ways nnd Jim Lane shot
him, (Storias).

Washington avenue and Sixth street ;
then he made light ; saw him draw his
arm to strike Lane, and advanced to
ward Lane; Lane backed up a lew steps,
and then I heard the report of the pistol,
and saw that Storlass was shot.
John Taylor, being July sworn said :
Storluss and some oncelse were lighting ;
Sargent came down und tried to separate
them, nnd couldn't do it; so he called
for as-istunce to a number ol parties;
Sai gent tlicn called on me to help him
make the arrest ; I went over and tried
to separate them but couldn't do it; both
parties were very strong ; I then asked
Sargent for his whi-tie and he went to
the corner and blew It several times for
assistance; Storlass and the man he w;u
lighting with became separated, and j
met Sargent and he told me he had
placed Storlass In charge ol Jim Lane;
Sargent told me to go to Jim Lane and
a-ist him hi making the arrest. When
I came up with Lane he was about
twenty l'eet behind Storlas, who was
going toward the Mississippi levee; he
was walking very fast ; Lane told him to
stop several times ; that be was author
ized to take him to the Justice and lie had
to do It; Lane didn't catch up with him;
he Hopted and commenced arguing, and
said he would die before he would ko :
used that expression several times and
nlfO threats ; he said there were not
men enough to take him; Lane and I
tlit u took hold of him and he Jerked loose
a nunioer or turn.- In ucwk,oh; liu
dropiied a piece of gum on the sidewalk
and nsked me to pick It up lor him; 1
told lil tn to stand aside u little and I
would: be said, "No, I will stand here,"
at the 'auie time he had himself In posi
tion to strike me; both Jim Lane and I
talked to him and reasoned with him for
ome time, and told him there was no
u-e of resUllug, t tint we were deputized
to take him; ' e 'aid he wouldn't go with
I,- ue but would go with me; lie said he
wouldn't go with a son of n b h that

as though he wanted to get nt Lane;
Lane then said he would have to take the
d it black son of a b h; that he was
authorized to take him and he would be
obliged to do It. Then he (Storinss) tried
to get at Lane and struck him over my
shoulders; he started oil' then and said he
would not go to Jail; that he would kill
the son of u b h before ho got to Jail,
mid made a pass at Lane; then he walked
about eight or ten If-ct up Washington

your reporter lelng late in nrrlving In
the court room failed to get his evidence.

sworn to by Mr. Botto were substan
tially the same as stated by him at the
coroner's Inquest.
Mr. Henry Lattner, proprietor of the
building in which Mr. Eschbach had his
shop, was the second witness.
Mr. Lattner testified: My name is Hen
ry Lattner; 1 live in St. Louis ; lived in
Cairo in June, 1874; I knew Eschbach for
about ten years; In June, 1S7L I was
doing biiclness on Commercial avenue In
Cairo, m the same building with Esah
baeh. He rented his shop from me. I
don't remember the day but It wns ou n
Sunday In June, 1871, that Eschbach got
killed ; 1 did not see the ditllctilty ; I was
iu my saloon and heard the shots; I
heard two shots fired ; I did not notice It
much at first; I heard three shots, when
Eschbach opened the door aud ran Into
the hull and said, "Henry, I am killed,
catch him ;" I went out und Gupton was
standing ou the steps; I thought ho
would shoot me aud ran around thebarbar
pole; Mr. Al. Helghtiuan came out and
caught Gupton ; I don't know that Gup
ton said n word when we went out ; I
think Eschbach and 1 went out together;
when we went Into the shop Eschbach
sat ou u chair; he then laid down on tlm
lloor ; ho died hi about twenty or thirty
minutes ; two shots wero llred In succes
sion, but there was more time be
tween the second and third shots;
Cross-cxninincd by McCartney: I um
not related to Eschbach ; he rented from
me n long time ; there wns a door lend
ing from his shop into tho hall In the
rear of the saloon ; hall wus used for sit
ting room ; first I heurd wus pistol firing;
could not tell just where tho firing was ;
sounded like it was iu tho barber shop ;
went around to see, nnd Eschbach came
Into the hall and said, "Henry, I nut kill
ed, catch him;" I saw blood ou his breast;
the shop was not open ; Eschbach just
cumo from a funeral, he told me so; his
shop door wns open when I got ou tho
sidewalk ; could not tell whether tho
shooting was In the shop or ou tho side
walk ; when I came out of the saloon
Gupton was standing on the cud of tha
steps nt the Crystal saloon, three or four
feet from tho barber shop door; the
steps extend ns fur ns the building
reaches ; there is a spaco of six inches be
tween the Crystal saloon and my build
ing; Gupton was not at tho door of the
burner shop when I came out;
think ho wus on the step, 3 feet frout the
building ; there were two other men In
my saloon when the tiring took place ;
think they got two ghmea beer; I wm
standing outside when Gupton came
down the street and went Into Crystal sa
loon, and butt hltu go Into barber shop
und sit down In the back chair ; ho noted
like a man who had had n drink ; I went
Into snloon nnd got two gentlemen sonic
beer; heard at one lime like If some one
kicked on chair ; knew Gupton before v
knew him to be pilot ; supposed him to
be in tho liablt of patronizing barbers ;
I was behind the counter when I heard
the shots ; when Gupton went into shop
hschbach was close to window, brushing
lil clothes ; the chair that Gupton sat
down In wns the ono nt which Eschbach
worked; was no other bnrber In the
shop ; don't think any one wns working
lor Eschbach at that time ; I nm not rein-
ted to Eschbach.
Rc-Olrcct by Allen: It wns on
Sunday; think nbout 5 o'clock;
Eschbach had occupied my
house about six years ; the barber shop
wns generally shut up on Sundays nt
12 o'clock ; sometimes they would open
If some one wanted to be shaved, but
did not make a practice of doing so; It
Is the ususl practice to cloe up nt 12
o'clock, unless some one wanted to go
away aud then would open ; don't know
that the shops were ever open on Sunday
night.
ievi Harris sworn : I wns sworn yes
terday. I live In Cairo; I have been
there three years ; I recollect Eschbach
being shot; knew hlui by sight; I saw
the prisoner nbout time of murder;
never saw him before ; I had bccnatBot
to's, und was coming across the street to
get drink of whbky ; I was right by the
switch ; I had been to the circus grounds
aud was In street near the switch ; switch
was near middle ot street on left tide ; I
was twenty-three steps from the barber
shop door wheu heard fuss ; when I got
across there I saw Eschbach pulling Gup
ton up out of the chair by the collar;
Eschbach pushed and Gupton fell down;
Gupton got to the door. I never was In
the shop in my life ; can't tell how far
chair is from door ; Gupton did not offer
any resistance to Eschbach ; Gupton fell
clear down when Eschbach pushed him
out; he put his hand Iu his pocket mid
pulled out n pistol ; Eschbach came to
door and opened It about a foot and
peeped out ; one door was shut aud the
other door was open; when Gupton
llred first shot Eschbach ran back In
house; lleightmau ran out and
gathered Gupton; Heighttnau's business
was a bartender at Lane's; saw Esch
bach when ran out the house; Gupton
raised up to make another shot; then
some one caught him; Eschbach went
back in house; heard no words in barber
shop between Eschbach nnd Gupton;
saw r.schUach alter he was dead; I was
attending baggage nt Cairo & Vincennes
office; was not a witness before coroner's
Inquest; it looked like Eschbach pushed
Gupton out and then went into the shop
and came right bnck.

did not see Eschbach kick Gupton ; Gup
ton did not lay on floor in shop ; laid on
the ground outside ; Eschbach gave him

Gupton laid on tho ground, but was a
few minutes. He kinder "leant" over
against a post. Gupton was up before
Eschbach got back to the door; Gupton
never llred till Eschbach came back to
tho door, and looked out; Eschbach
opened the door; Gupton did not open It;
when Eschbach looked out, stuck his
head out, Gupton fired. Tho door was
not clear open, about (ono toot). Esch

shot him in the right arm ; I called Mr.
Botto's attention, wheu I saw Eschbach

Eschbach ;wns, but could see
him when Gupton tired the last shot;;
Eschbach cried, "Oil, ho has killed me 1"
Gupton did not go Into tne harbar shop
after Eschbach pushed him out ; I was
right near to Bolts when the shooting oc
curred ; Heard Esclibach hollow ho wus
shot; Esclibach did not come out; S.iw
him after ho was dead ; ho was laying on
the floor; Mr. Eschbach had beon out to

Eschbach went Into tho shop when Gup-
ton went in ; first saw uuptou ut Del

Gupton did not lutvo his pistol out nntll
Eschbach opened the door;-Eschbach

Into Lane's saloon, but did not stay long,
and came out and went Into barbershop ;

Gupton wns not in there long. He was
shoved out In n very rath way and caught
on his hands. It Is a low step from the

Gupton out with his face foremost.
Eschbach was at his back. Gupton fell
and kinder caught on his hands. Gup
ton wns not down quite not enough to
s.y lay there, but It took htm a while to
straighten up. Gupton took out his pis

Thos. Coyne sworn : I live in Cairo; I
have lived there since came from Tennes
see, nbout three mouths ; on evening of
day Iu question, boarded at Commercial
Hotel; my bed room was in front room
up stairs ; was In my room nnd

my attention ; looked cross the street

ho was standing on the outside of the

minutes; he came out of Lattuer's saloon;
Gupton stood a little way back from the

saloon; he hud a revolver in
hU hand; Eschbach when he
came out calkd out "Catch him, catch

about 5 o'clock, or after, when the shoot
ing was done ; my room was south room
up stairs; I was reading I think when
shooting occurred; the first shot at

don't think it was a minute, till the sec
