One ofthe Murderers taken We have
the sincere satisfaction that the disclosures
made by Ennis the negro are confirmed,
and that Warrick one Of the murderers,
has been arrested and is now in the Gala
:boose in this city! Thus is auhite nature
cleared from this most abominable stain,
and the crime fastened upon negroes.

not go unrewarded. Captains Dickerson,

Omega, distinguished themselves by their
assistance on the occasion. More anon
