Apectal Dispatch to The Tribune, Nasnvireg, Tenn, Aug. 10—Gen. Henry Darnell, of Lake County, Tenn., was indicted two sears ago for tho murder of Albert Nall, who was minning asteam ferry boat alongalde ofone run by Darnelt, Darnell sought to ron Nall out of busincss, but Nall was not to bo bulidozed. Subsequently Darnell, with five arined rufilans, went down to Nall’s host. Find- ing him alone they opened firo upon him in- stantly, and Nall returned {t. Every ball did {ts work, killing one of Darnell’s Qutlaws and wounding several others, among them Darnell himself. Nall was killed after he» had emptied his Inst barrel ot his as. wasing. Since that time Darnell. has been hiding out, or rather has fenced himsclf tn by calling nbout him aset of outlaws or despera- docs, but he recently surrendered himself to the Sheriff of Lake County, but refused to be lodged in jaitor to be guarded save by men of his own selection, vowing that be would dle first. He was accordingly placed In charge of a man of hls own choosing. The Court was convened at Tiptonville on Wednesday, Judge J. A. Hawkins presiding. Upon the ¢xamina- tlon of two witnesses In Darucli’s case, Just previous to adjournment, the Attorney- General presented alfidayits for the prosecution showing that Darnell was only nominally in custody, and that he had a squad of fifteen friends, with arms buckled about them, ready to resist the olficers. At this time Darucll’s squad was reinforced by ten other rufiians, all of them swearing they woula protect Darnell if they had to witin the whole county, The Court tustructed the Sheriff that it was his duty to Judge Darneil In Jall, but instead the Sherlit hnetily made his exit through a rear door. After the adjournment of the Court Darnell made a apeech denouncing the Court to a largo assemblage of citizens, Darnell and his outlaws swearing there were not men enough in Lake County to put him In jail, and openly boasting that, if convicted, the judgment of the Court could not be enforced. ‘Thursday morning the Court onfered the Deputy Sheriff to order a posse of fifty men or more, Which Grder he refused to obey, thercup- on the Judge telegraphed Gov. Porter to send the Chickasaw Guards of Memphis to his as- sistance. About this time, 10 a. m., the Sheriff arrived, and tardily commenced) summoning a pores. Darnell up to this time had sworn he would fight itoutif it took all day, but soon after left for Kentucky. The jury was dis- charged, the court adjourned, and the order tor troops countermanded. The citizens generally are indignadt at tho lawless proceedings of Darnell, and denounce the inelliciency of the Sheriff and his deputies. Darnell is 63 years old, Ile {6 worth 000, mixes witti the lowest clans of people, poastful of his exploits and craves tho tion of a fighting man. He and his crowd of outlaws are greatly feared by the community. ‘The title General’ seems to haye been given him. by common consent four years ago, Dar- netl’s son and nephew killed the two Lano brothers and aman named Kalwards, Darnell was indicted as an ‘accessory before the fact, but was acquitted, The acquittal waa signalized by Darnell's having o flzht In. the court-room wit! bis tawyer over the foes, .

Tho whole affair was conducted so quictly, except the noise made in breaking open the shop, that very few persons werg aware of thelr prescncy ubtll they wera leaving town.
