NEGRO MAN ellington, slave boy
belonging to Mr.. Sprague, was yesterday morning
stabbed in the back and killed by the driver of a
bread-cart, named John Hodgins, near the St.
Mary's Market, on Tchoupitoulas street. Hodgins
was arrested and sent to prison to await an inves-
tigation into the affair. From his story, it would
appear that he acted in sefdefence, and killed the
negro to save his own life. He says that for some
time certain persons had been in the habit of steal
customers in the market, and that the losses grew
larger and larger every day, until he determined
to watch and try to catch the rogue. Consequent
ly, yesterday morning he stopped his cart before
the market, and pretended to leave it, as usual,
but only stepped to a hiding place near by to
watch. He soon saw the boy Wellington go to
his cart and begin to help himself. Running out
from his hiding place, Hodgins seized the negro

The negro resisted, and finally knocked Hodgns
down, and was about to beat him severely, but
just then was effectualy stopped by receiving the
fatal stab. Wellington died in short time, and
the Coroner made post mortem examination up
on his body, which showed that the knife had en-
tered his left lung causing death from hemorrhage.
| He is said to have been notorious thief.
