MURDER. AND SUMMARY JUS.

MURDER, AND SUMMARY JUS
diobolcal murder was perpetrated
on Tuesday last, on the body of Mr.. Leroy
Shackleford worthy and respectable planter
of this county, by two of his negroes.
From gentleman, who was present at the
inquest. we have obtained the following par
tcuars.
Mr.. Shackelford had gone into the|
woods where these negroes were gettIngI
timber fer cotton gin. The boy Wlley,|
who II seems from the evidence ofthe boyl
DO tr had on several occasions express
sed his determination of numbering his
master. He stated that an opportunity
now presented itself. better perhaps than
they would have again for some time, and
whilst Mr.. S. was STOPPING down TO
scribe block of timber they he'd sawed,
Wiley gave him the first blow, on the back
of the head, succeeded by a second in the
forehead, which so disabled him, that they
easily carried out their design by choak !.
ing him to death. This was done for the
purpose of drawing as little blood as pos
slble, as we'll as to prevent his cries being
heard in an adjoining field where some
of the hands were ploughing. They i'm
medately placed the dead body Of their
master on his horse, and carried him
about quarter of a mile, carefully oblit-
Ierated. all signs of blood. They then
Presumed their labor as if nothing had hap
pened. The next morning, however, fol
fear they had not used sufficient precau-
ton, they again sought the body Of their
victim, and putting one of the feet of the
deceased in the strip of his saddle, they
dragged the body quarter of mile fur

killed by his horse.
In attempting TO arrest them on WedneS-
day, Wiley made his escape, and has moi
| vet been taken. The boy, Doctor how.
ever was taken, and confessed the fact:
as above stated. A Jury Of inquest wa,
he'd over The body by justice Randle
ThN ury returned verdict, that the de-
ceased came TO his death, by the hands O
the two men Wiley and doctor.
A meeting of the citizens ofthe neigh
borhood was called in order to determin,
what course to pursue towards the muir
, dered. when they resolved to adjourn tc
meet again on Saturday the Bra instant.
On Saturday about one hundred of on
most respectable citizens met at the lat
I residence of the deceased. The mee;in,
was duly organized by calling Mr.. JON
Gilmer TO the chair, and after mature an,
1 deliberate consideration they resolved t
; administer summary Justice to Doctor b

ried into execution by committee appoir
