Murder and Robbery.
From the Planters Bauner.J

From the Planters BauneEJ
Last Friday at half-past six o'clock in the
afternoon, the dead body of an itinerant
map and picture peddler was discovered in
the road, near DR.. McGulre's place, below
Jeannerette, in the parish Of St. Mary. Our
informant saw the body, and says that
death was caused by a gunshOt or pistol
wound just behind the left ear, and that it
must have been instantaneous. A short
time before the body was discovered, the
peddler had been seen in conversation with
negro man who wore gray clothes and q
white hat, and it is supposed that this negro
is the murderer. The peddler had been
seen with silver watch and money which
were missing when his body was found. His
pockets were turned inside out. and his per
son exposed as though search had been
made for money belt, such as are worn
underneath the clothing, around the body.
The dead man had on an iron gray shirt,
dark gray clothes, black felt hat, and is sup
posed to have been about thirty five years
overcOat, tied up with a string. which dis
appeared during the night, while the body
remained lying in the road awaiting the
arrival Of the coroner. An inquest was held
on Saturday, but no clue to the perpetrator
of the murder was obtained.
No papers or articles were found on the
person that gave any clue to the name or
tcslUcUce OI tne murdered man.
Considerable excitement exists below
Jeannerette, in the neighborhood where the
map peddler was murdered and robbed last
Friday. 1t is thought that number of
desperate men, who have escaped from diff
ferent parish prisons recently, are secreted
IN the swamps in that vicinity. and raid
by them is feared, at any time.
Since the above was written, We learn
from reliable gentleman that last Sunday
morning a negro boy was stopped at the
point where the murder of last Friday took
place, and robbed Of fifteen cents by three
negro men, whom he recognized as Richard,
the murderer who escaped from the Frank
Lin jail; Charles, who escaped from our Jail,
while under sentence of five years in the
Penitentiary for burglary. and one-armed
negro, who formerly belonged to Mr.. M.
Sorrel, accompanied by white man, sup
posed to be Abshire, who recently escaped !
from the Jail in this parish. As soon as the |
boy was released he gave the alarm, and |
Immediately the whole neighborhood was |
and about two hundred citizens,
white and black, are hunting for this band |
of desperadOes, with the determination of |
finding and bring them to justice.
