of pistol Snyder and Ridgely moment afterward
made their appearance theiormer very muchfrghtened
and excaimng that "Rdgely had shot the man. Another
witness testifes that he Snyder and Rdgey have

Poor Smith fell dead instantly
There effort made to rescue VIM. Smith,
though he was within one hundred feet OF at least
dozen colored men, who were at work in the lumber
yard The perpetrator of the murder was allowed to

our law.abiding citizens
Rdgey made his escape to Baltimore, taking by
road las has since been asceraned) around the town
of York and Strasburg, to avoid detection. When he
arrived within the borders of the State Of Maryland he
took the cars for Baltimore.
