EXECUTING GRANTS WARRANTS.
One of the most glarng outrages com
mtted by them was on the 23l Of June
last James Maloney, an Assistant 'nited
States Marshal, accompanied by Oscar
Cannon, a cOlored penitentiary convict,
Willis johnson and Peter Simmons, col
ored men, went to the store Of Thomas
w: Blease, at the cross roads near this
place, and two of the Grant rutlians sez-
ed Blease's son while Maloney stood in
front of him with a pistol, swearing that
he. intended to shoot him. After the boy
had been held in tins position several
minutes he was released MaIoney and
the negroes then went to Blease's house,
Mr. Blease, John j. Barre, d. NJ. Ward
I. T. Perry We're sitting on the piazza
and Maloney and his companions fired on
them without any warning. Barre re-
ceved severe wound, and several at
tempts were made to shoot Ward. Mrs
Blease was lying dangerously i'll in the
house, and was SO much affected by the
shooting, that her condition became hope
less. Having emptied their pistols, Ma
loney explained to the unressing and UNI
armed men who were still on the piazza
that he had warrants for Ward and
Barre. He permitted BarreIo remain at
the house, as the man was bleeding TO
death As Maloney vas leaving, Blease
told his son to 90 for a physician, at which
one of the: Grant gang turned and said,
t.'Ifyou leave the house | will shoot You"

little heed to what Greeley may have said,
