The wounded man subsequently died Conflicting
statements with regard to the case and consequently
uneasiness and dissatisfaction among the freedmen,
brought frequent complaints to captain Sage, of the
frecdmens bureau, demanding further investigation
At the suggestion Of W. J. Bryan Esq, Of Geor-
gia editor Of the negro paper in augusta, jury Of
twelve black men was impanneled, and the un(ortu-
nate man was allowed trial by his peers after
hearing the jury rendered verdict of 'snslaughter
