FIENDISu MURDER Nashville dis

soldier named Miner w. AIKEN. 1t
seems that Robert Ilogg, a colored man,
had simply spoken, in Il quiet way,
about Mr.. Lillard, the Representative IN
the Legislature from that county, when
AIKEN went for his gun, returned and
shot him. The first shot wounded him
and lie ran little ways and fell. AIKEN
then deliberately loaded his gun, walked
to the prostrate man and shot hun
through the head. IIesthen forbade any
one to bury him, and the murdered man
lay there three days unburied-the hogs
meanwhile eating portion Of his body.
No attempt was made at the time, or
has since been made to arrest AIKEN.
iiogg was sixty years old and highly
respected cUlored citizen.

that Che changes made by Mr.. johnson

Inexperienced men appointed in their
