PLEADS SELF DEFENSE HELD DOWS BY UIS ANTAGONIST TINSLEY SAYS HE FEARED FOR HIS LIFE A AD HE GAS SHOOTING. Bunny Tinsley, the negro man who kllieu nis 1:0101 eii opponent over 11 Same ot carus, was captured tnree Hours alter the deed by mounted Of ficer Toots, its the former was fleeing toward tno mick&hotumy hwamp. The tragedy occurred Tuesday af ternoon at tne homo ot the murdered man, Thomas btokes. 8 23 Norm Third street, says the former, and when the winner refused to return the wad. Stokes sprang at him and knocked him over on the bed. Tinsley pay* ho began to fear for his life, and pulled the trigger of Ills pistol with the mouth almost against Stokes' body. The first shot did not stop Stokes, so Tinsley says he ilred again and again; one bullet passed through Stokes' arm, two entered the body and a fourth found lodgment In his mouth. The last shot brought death, and Stokes, rolling from underneath the dead body, lied out of the house bareheacrtll and covered with the blood that had spouted over him Bicycle Policeman Bryant and Pa trolman Walton were the first to ar rive on the scene, and had to beat out the fire on Stokes clothes. The pistol had been fired at such close rangi' that the garments had become Ignited. The officers found that Tins ley had decamped, alarmed the po lice of the city and county and went to search Tinsley’s house, hut the man had not been near there since the shooting. It seems that County Officer Tem ple saw the negro go by his house and telephoned to the First Station to ask If there had been n cutting row. He was acquainted with the true state, and Mounted Officer Toots was ordered to leave hi* place at Oak wood Cemetery and follow the trail of the murderer down Meohanlrsville turnpike The officer overtook the negro about eight miles out of Richmond, and"'af ter sorne ugly behavior from the crim inal, marched him back to Richmond before the mouth of a Mg ."* pistol.
