folio wing particulars Of q recent murder:
"0n Thursday last a most brutal murder
was pcrpctratcd in Williamsburg District,
on Santcc, few miles north of ,Lenud's
Ferry. 1t seems that man named James
y. Thomas, n poor but honest and hard
worhing white citizen, had been for somc
time in tho habit of hauling from the woods
to the river small lots of turpentinc for the
freedmen in the neighborhood. He had
hauled some on several occasions for tho
freedmen named respectively Wallace Crops
alias Evens, and Thomas Graham, and they
having failed TO pay him he had succeeded
in stopping the amount due him in tho
hande Of Captain Foster Of the steamer
which took away tho turpentipo on the riv-
er. On Thursday last these freodmen and
MIR. Thomas happened to meet at tho steam
or, whore they remained till jus. before
night, when The former induced tho latte
to take passage with them in thcir canoe
UP a small creek, which run out from the
river in tho direction of their respective
homes. After getting up tho creek q short
distance they turned upon Mr.. Thomas and
brutally murdered him, and then, In order
70 hide the awful deed they had commit ell
they sunk the body in the creek aud fasten-
ed it down to the bottom with chain, A
Jury Of inquest vas held over tho body by
the Coroner the next day, and the facts
found by them as stated Crops and Gra-
