Murdcr and Robbery by Negroes
in South Carolina.
One Of the Murdercrs Killcp ana
the Other Captured.

The Columbia South Carolinian gives
the following account of u brutal muir,
der committed by negroes recently, ana
the swift retribution that overlook the
wrctches:
Mr.. LcmAol Lane, one Of the most
respected citizens Of Newberry Dis
tr.ct, had accumulated, from the sale of
cotton and from other sources, II con
siderable sun of money, which it was
known he kept on his premises. That
opportunity to obtain this by foul means
had been carefully watched, and by
more than one person, there IA be but
little doubt; but it was notuntil Friday
night that the moment arrived for the
contamination ofthe hellish deed CON
tempiated. Mr.. Lane had then retired
rs usual, but the heat being oppressive,
he lay down in the open air, and there
he was found in the morning, his head
split open with an axe, life extinct, and
great pools of blood covering the
ground around.
Proceeding to the house, the muir
dcrcr. now ransackcd the premises, the
wife of Mr., Lane having taken flight to
cscapet the fate that surely awaited her
itfound, and all the gold and silver
on the place, amounting to between
cirht and nine thousand dollars, as we
learn, was carried away.
Intelligence of the diabolical act
quickly spreak, and is q short time par
ties started in pursuit. One, at least
of the murderers successfully evaded
capture and reached Columbia on Sun
day morning, accompanied by another
NEGRO named Armstead Cook. Accost-
inc Il little colored boy, they here de-
sired to know the direction to the Char
Iotte depot, handing him at the same
time n silver quarter Ola dollar. The
lad noticed that one of the negroes Il
yied Il BAG which to him seemed to be
money, and making all haste after the
parties left him, he communicated the
iactst to Messps. Starting and Pope, two
citizens living in the neighborhood.
These mounting horses, started at
once to head the tugitives, and over
took them in q %corntield beyond the
Lunatic Asylum. The negroes were
ordered to halt, when John Counts
alias Dawkins, one of them took to M
heels. Mr.. Sterling at once fired, ano
wounded him slightly, but the villain
kent on, when Mr.. s., discharged &
second shot, which brought the negro
to the ground, the ball entering his body
lie lived about fifteen minutes, bu'
made no remark. The Other had m an.
while surrendered, and is now in Gus
tody.
On examining the body of the dead
man, eighteen hundred and odd dollars
in specie were found sewcd in his cloth
mo and concealed in his stockings anC
elsewhere besides the bag Of specie be.
fore referred to,
The pistol of Mr.. Lane, with hi:
name engraved upon it, and five or Sin
dollars, were found on the person o
Armistaad. The story of the latter i:
that he was hired by the murderer t'
pilot him to Columbia, and as he, Armi
stead, had to come down on Monday
he accepted the proposition and re
ceivcd the reward.
