C., March 18—The murder of Captain Dawson was the most brutal and atrocious ever committed in Charleston. The popular indignation is intense. All classes the comm are aghast, and would in the murderer if they could get him out of jail. The circumstances attending the murder are as Capt. Dawson left the News and Courier office at 3:30 o'clock. Some time ago it had been tie, © stranger in" America, and one for woes ao one wi gonduct, being employedin an educational and fiduciary capacity, he was responsible, was con- ducting herself in s manner that his attention. As will appear elsewhere, Capt. gents pene Mprtanrh net uy never came out alive, The whole truth of the history of what really occurred in that office will lie buried in the grave of Capt. Dawson. The revelations only partially made last night indicate that the th of Capt Dawson was not only encompassed in a brutally murderous manner, but that a futile effort was made to bury the body of the victim, THE ASSASSIN’S STATEMENT. Dr. McDow, Capt. Dawson’s murderer, was called upon last night in jail and asked to ex- plain the circumstances of the tragedy. He at first declined to make any statement, but eventually said: “Here it is in a nut shell. Capt. Dawson entered my office, used abusive language and knocked me down with his cane. I (oe up and he was about to strike me again when I shot him.” Dr. McDow then went on to say that Capt. Dawson was not killed instantly, that he remained alive for half to three-quarters of an hour, during which time, he, Dr. McDow, remained’ in the room with the man, whose life was fast ebbing aw: making up his mind what to do. But there the strongest proof that Dr. McDow remained in the room at least an hour after the death of Capt. Dawson planning how be might of the body. Ata distance ofafew feet from the back door of the office, at the end ofa passageway, is a half-door open into arecess under a stairway. THE EFFORT TO BURY THE BODY, As was to be expected from the coroner and his jury, a thorough examination of the premises was made, Lieutenant Fordham made a startling discovery while this exami- nation was in progress, On the half door above referred to there were noticed some spots of fresh blood, This was of course an incentive to further inquiry, and the exami- nation was extended to all parts of the closet. Drops ot blood were found on the floor up toa space where the flooring terminated and the earth of the foundation was exposed. Here another horrible and startling revelation was made. The mould was noticed to be freshly turned 2p, to a depth which was only limited by a ner of bricks and other material which could not be penetrated by the spade or whatever instrument was used in the attempt to dig agrave. Such certainly is the conviction of all those who saw the upturned earth and the blood spots on the floor and the door. This closet door was found nailed us last last night, although it had evi- dently formerly been laid up against the open- ing into the closet. Thisis, therefore, almost certain that the assassin endeavored during his long occupancy of the room with the murdered man, to dig his grave and thus forever bury all proof of his crime with his victim. Certain it is, however, that Dr. McDow, after finding his efforts fuitle, on account of the obstruction noted, determined to set up THE PLEA OF SELF-DEFENSE, and went out and delivered himself to Private Gordon. It was stated that before being taken to the central station he was permitted to visit one or two lawyers. Dr. McDow said that he was standing up when he fired the fatal shot and Capt. Dawson was about to strike him a second time with his cane. Three things are, therefore, quite remarkable—one, that Captain Dawson could have been shot in the spot where the bullet entered; second, that if McDow was knocked down, he can exhibit no marks of violence, and thirdly, if it were self-defense, why the tell-tale grave beneath the stairs. Dr. McDow reached the central station at 6:51 p.m. and surrendered to Lieut. Hedt. He was immediately transferred to the county jail. Coroner Deveraux was promptly notified and went up and viewed the body, on which a ost mortem examination was held by Dr. Mid- leton Michel. Coroner Deveraux immedi- vy impaneled a jury, of which Mr. Geo. W. iams is foreman, and which, having viewed body, adjourned until to-morrow morning. ‘™M’DOW BADLY FRIGHTENED. Dr. McDow, when seen last night in jail, bore all the evidences of aman affrighted by the consciousness of a crime without an excuse. He was ashen pale, trembled visibly, and the erspiration was thick upon his fore! and face. Among other things, he desired it said that he had killed Captain Dawson in self de- fense, Captain Golden, the chief of police, said to a reporter for the News and Courier last night that the first information that he had received of the murder of Captain Dawson was about 6:30 p.m. Being asked if he knew anything that might account for the murder, Captain Golden said that he doubted whether it would be correct to publish in advance of the inquest what he knew about the matter, but finally made the following statement: WHAT LED UP TO THE CRIME. “On Friday of last week,” said he, “Captain Dawson asked me to come to his office, saying that he desired to ask my advice and assist- ance, I went to see him and he then told that he had a French or Swiss servant and that he had that been detected in disreputable company. He asked me to de- tail a man to shadow her and find out if the re- — were true or faise, saying that he did not sire a servant about his household who was not honest and upright. I accordingly detailed Sergt. Dunn, who under my instructions went out yesterday —— morning. a Dunn reported thay Barer the maid had taken an uptown car at Rutledge street, and that he had followed her; that Dr. McDow had also boarded the car and had ridden with her to the upper terminus that the two had got out of the car there and had strolled around the unfrequented streets in the northwestern section of the city, All the details were submitted by me to Ca) tain Dawson this morning. I also told him thathe must be careful, that McDow’s reputation was not of the best, and that it would be, perhaps, as well to take no noticeof him. This is all I know of the case. This afternoon about 3 o'clock or alittle after, while I was riding the rounds, a policeman on duty in the west end of the city told me that somebody had heard THE REPORT OF A PISTOL SHOT in Rutledge street, near Bull street. It oc- curred to me that perhaps something was wrong, and I rode around, rang the bell of Dr. McDow's residence and asked if anything was the matter. I was told that there was nothing the matter, off. Thinking thing wrong, I rode News and 0 I found that he had left for home shortly after Sp.m. I asked one of the clerks to telephone to his residence and ask if he had Wi the yet ren- red me still more suspicious, and I im- mediate! went pe, town jain.

The Agricultural department is out of the usual stream of travel, but the tide of people who want to help the new administration run things has found the door of Secretary Rusk’s office. There isa constant throng of visitors to see the Secretary and Gen. Rusk’s time is fully occupied. He has little opportunity at resent to give attention to details of adminis- ation. The private secretary, Mr. La Dow, will have a desk in the reception room where he can meet the visitors and learn their busi- ness. An effort will be made, it iz expected, to secure a new building for the department, the present one not being large enough to accom- modate the various divisions of the depart- ment. From necessity laboratories are pro- vided for in the building which, is held, should be located in a separate building. The present structure was erected twenty-six years ago. and since then the work of the depart- ment has largely increased. The Shooting of Champ Evans.
