DR.. VIM. H. Mowbry, one Of the
individuals arrested some months ago,
on suspicion of negro stealing has
been tried in the Superior Court OF
lredell county, IN. CO. found guilty Of
the charge, and sentenced to be hung
on the 18th instant. The Greensboro
Patriot gives the following facts as de-
tailed on the trial Z:
On the second day of December,
1884, the said DR.. Mowbry, in COM
pany with Isaac Albright, passed
through Salisbury, with oarryall, in
which they had negro which they
had stolen from Georgia. In passing
along back street, Mowbry saw a
aegro boy, the property Of Charles F..
Fisher. He invited the boy to the
camp near the race ground, where they
intended to stay that night alleging
that they had sundry articles TO trade
upon.
"The boy accordingly went. AL.
bright and Mowbry were then toge-
iher at the camp. They induced the
negro TO go with them alleging that
they would sell him to whomsoever
might offer the best price. The negro
was then to run away and return to
to them again, when they promised to
give him hundred dollars Of the mo-
ney for which he might be sold ; and
also to furnish him with papers that
would take him to free state. The
witnesses saw the said Mowbry and
Albright in Orange county, with the
same boy and another one, and Now
bry was Offering them for sale. AL
bright put up no claim to them in
Orange; but said they belonged to
Dr.. Mowbry. The evidence next
found them in Petersburg Jail, negroes
and all. MIR. Fisher and Mr.. Slater,
sheriff of Rowan, went to Petersburg
took possession of Fishers negro, and
conveyed Mowbry and Albright to
Salisbury Jail. Alter they had been
confined there Albright, in hearing of
the sheriff, charged Mowbry with having
been the cause of all his difficulties,-
to which Mowbry replied "God d--n
you,-you have been trying to pack the
whole blame on me, all along, and l
don't intend to bear it any longer. You
known very we'll that we were in Co.
in stealing the negroes and that we
we're to sell them, & divide the profits"
The Patriot further states
ave have understood from good aus
thority that the prisoner made foil
and circumstantial confession Of his
guilt to the bystanders, while the jury
had retired to make up their verdict
He said he first set out with Albright
in order TO get from him the amount OF
a claim he held against him. And
that Albright drew him into the felony
before he took time to reflect upon the
awful consequences.
"We undertand that his connexions
are respectable in Baltimore and Nor
folk and we honestly believe he was
led into his present difficulty by want
and wretchedness, which were the re-
suit of Incorporate habits, without any
original depravity of heart. He lived
for several months in this place, where
so far as we know, he was never sus.
pected of dishonesty. And we sacred
ly and religiously believe, fever there
was fit subject for executive clemen'
cy, it is this truly unfortunate victim O.!
