The Pulaski Citizen of the 18th ina,
says: The jury in the case of Jordan
Petty, colored, who murdered Mr.. z. F..
Wilkerson, of Riehland Station, a few
months sgo, having failed to agree after
deliberating several days, during which
time their meditatiOns were undisturbed
by the outside world, were discharged.
This recesitates postponement of the
case until the next term OF the court. We
understand that eleven Of the Jurors We're
in favor of inaicting capital punishment,
while one was memorable in substituting
imprisonment for life.
We clip the following from the Pulaski
Citizen Of the 18th: We are informed
that negro man who Is supposed to be
insane, attacked o little white boy by the
name of Henry Ysnt living on the widow
HockshaT's farm on Buchanan's creek, a
few days ago, while he was playing in a
field near the house, and after choking
him nearly 10 death tried to drown him
in the creek. The cries of the boy at
tracted the attention of his brother who
Immediately came to his rescue, when the
negro ran off. The little boy was sense
less when his brother reached him, but he
has recovered from his injuries. If the
negro is insane he should be secured at
once
At Pulaski on Tuesday the 10Th inst,
Green Turner, cOlored, who was con-
victed of stealing a mule in that county
several months age, was sentenced by
Judge Martin to be hanged within q mile
OF the courthouse in Pulaski on the 17Lh
day of November next. The Judge in
pronouncing the awful sentence of death,
advised the negro to devote what time re.
NAMED to him in preparing for the world
to come, to consume it in those spiritual
offices that prepare the soul of man 4. r
the presence of Him from whose iuGg-
ment seat there is no appeal. During the
delivery of The sentence Turner displayed
much emotion, and seemed utterly over
Whelmed in contemplating the terrible
fate awaiting him.
We take the following from the JOnes-
boro Herald and Tribune of the 18th
inst. We learn from reliable source
of the death of Joseph Vice, ESQ near
Clear Greek, in Greene county, which &C.
CURED quite strangely. On last Saturday
evening, about 4 T. NJ, Vice and William
Detherridge who had a gun, in lane
near the house of Mr.. John II. Bradon.
A number of other boys were present,
and all were indulging in sports. The
gun was loaded, and Detherridge was in
the act of presenting it with no evil in
tention, however, when Vice threw q
rock backward over his shoulder, which,
striking the hammer, caused the gun to
go off. The ball entered the back OF
Vices head and ranging through the brain
lodged in the bone of the forehead,
breaking the same. 1t came 50 near
through that the blood oozed on. Of the
fracture. The unfortunate man died in
two hours and half. This is another
sad warning against the reckless use of
firearms.
