Court called for the purpose of investigating the
case. The whole day was consumed in hearing tes-
timony for and against the accused.
One of the negro boys belonged to Mr.. Ashley
POWELL of Johnson county; the other to gentleman
in Sampson. The woman is the property of ME-.
Boykin, of Smithfeld.
The frequent plea of poverty. in excuse for rob-
berry, be forth in the present Stevens
is said to be wealthy man, which circumstance adds
greatly the enormity of his crime After the hear
ing of the witnesses, and the re-commita of the
cused to await their trial at the October term of the
Superior Court-the Attorney of the State craved OF
the Court the commttal of Mr.. John Williams, OF
Godsboro, being present. and aiding and abettfng
in the abduction of the negroes in question: Where
upon, he was held to bail in the sum of $1,000, and
not being able to comply with the conditions of the
! bond, committed to Jail.
A free negro, Micaah Burnett, implicated in this
affair." succeeded in making his escape.
Williams, above named, examined a wit
in favor of the other accused, before his arrest
and that he had witnessed a bill of sale for
said negroes to Stevens.
The belief is prevalent that Stevens is at the head
of sort of IS MurreA'' gang. Several negroes are
missing from Johnson county, and there is bu
little doubt of their having been taken away by this
rough, and the adjacent country. We trust it will
not subside till all the aiders and abettors of this in
famous project, are exposedand punished.
