MURDER OF A hoy IN WEST FE-
LICIANA,

LAUREL HILL, La, Dec. 3D. 1867.
Ed. CreSceHt-Within the past week our quiet
and orderly neighborhOod has been shocked by
one of the foulest murders on record in all the
annals of crime, and, as q most legitimate result
of radical teachings and ineendiary harangues, l
take the liberty of making you acquainted with
the details. The crime was committed upon the
person of a lad Of scarcely thirteen years Of age,
the only son Of a widow, by two negro men
about twenty-oue years of age-one of them the
son Of a negro preacher. The child was shot
down by one of the negroes, and, after he was
down, the other negro approached so close as to
fire the contents Of his gun into the child's ear.
All Of this occurred within q few rods
of the house where lived the grandmother Of the
child. They then took the body and concealed il
between some logs in the vicinity and after two
or three DAYS fruitless sc .rch for the missing
child. the neigbbors became convinced that he
was fOully dealt with, and procured the arrest of
every negro man living on the plantation. When
arrested, one OF the perpetrators of the crime
came forward and confessed his completely in the
act 10 one Of the gentlemen present and offered
HIM twenty (S20) dollars TO put the blame" on
an innocent party, and offered to conduct him to
The place where the body was concealed. He af-
forwards conducted the party TO the spot, and
gave the detailed account OF the act as above
stated.
These details believe to be correct. Such is the
state of society We are reduced TO the lamenta0le
necessity of existing in, anditis but the Legitimate
fruit of incendiary harangues to the negroes on
the prOpTiety OF carrying guns constantly. In
the above case the only fault of the poor little
boy was that che had been watching the negroes
10 prevent them from stealing his grandmother's
CATTLE" which, on the part OF the child, was
highly proper, as she had already lost some OF
her cattle by thieves; and the thief who profted
by the first raid on the old ladys cattle Is walking
the woods continually gun.in-hsnd, seeking whose
hn of
cruel murder Is the first act of the kind committed
in the usually quiet peighborhood OF Laurel Hill,
most probably within the past thirty years.
