had negro hired by the name of Samuel Gala
way, who had seduced his daughter, and upon
the fact being discovered, Anderson threatened
to shoot the negro whereupoh the negro left
Anderson, however, went to the Negroes master,
his time and gotta bill of sale, he then
sold him to trader by the ndne of Tindale, who
employed two men named-- Collins and
----llearn TO take him, and the negro having
left his clothes at Anderson's, lie IAnderson1
sent him word that he could return and get them,
the negro kept his clothes in u granery Or some
other out house, wherein Collins and Iiearn had
secreted themselves for the purpose Of tying
him when he enteredto get them. The negro
came and Anderson went with him to this house,
and when the negro entered he Henderson,
closed the door and the two men inside attempted
10 seize lin, when the negro knocked Collins
down with club and stabbed him to the heart
with butcher knife, killing him almost instant
ly.
Upon hearing the scuffie Anderson rushed in,
and the negro fell upon him and Hcarn, cutting
Ilearn's throat in such horrid manner that his
life Ia despaired of, and nAicting fearful cash
in Andersons stomach which exposed his en-
trails. Anderson's wound has been sewed up,
and his physician has some slight hope of lis
recovery, but learns It is feared is beyond recO-
very. The negro is still at large, and the
Governor has offered reward of 5000 for his
detection. We have no doubt but he will be
caught, as II is supposed he is not out of the
State yet. We cannot describe him lie is,
however, nearly six feet high, and stout built"
We copy the above from the Milford Beacon.
VI. II. Anderson was one of the most rcspecta-
bic citizens of Laurel, a builder, one of the best
architects in the State. The young lady sedu-
csd by the negro, was pretty. VOL behaved
young girl about Is years Of age but deficient IN
intellect. William Collins and Edgar Heam
were sober, Industrious men, blacksmiths, well
Thought Of, and were selected for the business
on account of their great bodily strength.
We learn that they succeeded in knocking
down and tying him and started to go a short
distance for assistance when they fell from loss of
blood and exhaustion, during which time the
negro succeeded in making his escape, and
sought refuge in swamp near the locality. The
sheriff of the county started with possee, and a
large number of citizens surrounded the swamp
armed. The negro however soon came ont, and
gave himself upto the authorities, asserting that
he noted in self defence.

BILE murder perpetrated Mt or near Laurel, Sussex
