particularly culored men, to which they would
be likely to give heed, but We learn from the
Easton Star that Henry Benson, cousin to
the condemned boy, Ernest Smith, made a
most determined attempt to commit the same
crime upon white woman last Monday. He
was chased from one hiding place to another
for two days, and was finally captured near
Ridgely, Caroline county, on Wednesday after
noon. These wretched rascals must be punish
