UNION, MONROE Co, I
Sept 18th, 1854.
Editor Dispatch-The case of the two negroes,
who are charged with the murder of Miss Jane
Graham, to-day came up before the Court. Gen.
A. A. Chapman appeared for the prisoners, Major
John Echols appeared for the Commonwealth N
Harrison, Esq, being absent. The counsel for the
prisoners professed willingness to go to trial, but
Major Echols argued for postponement, on account
of the absence of the Commonwealth Attorney
the difficulty, owing to the anomalous position in
which the prosecution was placed by reason of the
attempts of the whole Graham family to shield the
real murderers, in finding evidence-together with
many other cogent and satisfactory reasons. The
Court finally postponed the case. The evidence Is
strong against one of the blacks, and things are
working" which will Iperhaps make some whites
blacker yet than the negroes. The DEVILS work,
fear, has been done by more cunning hands than
those OF those poor ignorant slaves.
