MURDER OR SUICIDE-NySteTlous Dis1ppe1r-
Gnce Of a Released ITISOHer-A week or two ago
a colored man, named George Dorsey, alias Joe
Williams, who had been at work near Union.
town, was accused OF having attempted an out
rage on white girl-a Miss Brown, of Prince
George county-and on Wednesday q coIored
man, supposed to he Dorsey, was seen skuIking
near the ferry opposite Alexandria. When in
the act OF embarking on board the boat he was
arrested, bound hand and foot and a messenger
dispatched TO Marlboro for the sheriff. A large
bowie knlre was found on him, and the circum-
stances looked rather suspicious. 1t is aid that
ne refused 20 give any history of himself and
oy his actions excited the crowd of persons who
usually hang about the wharf, and preparations
were made 10 lynch him then and there. Some
persons OF good judgment interfered, however
and prevented any act of violence. Subse-
quently man from Alexandra, who knew
the prisoner declared that they had the wrong
person; that Dorsey was but twenty five wears
of age, sDd the man under arrest waSat least
forty, and had beard, while Dorsey had a
smooth face. an examination OF the printed
description of the psrpetratOr of the crime
which tie Alexandra man had with him, salts
fed them ali that they were mistaken and
without waiting for the sheriff of Marlboro TO
put IN an appearance they released him. The
same evening the man took the ferry boat and
proceeded on his way to Alexandria, but he
never got there. He was known to take the
boat, but he never landed on the Virginia shore
the engineer being positive t. at he saw hirR on
board while the boat was crossing the river
Whether he jumped overheard, or whether he
was "heped" overheard by the excited crowd on
the boat, are questions that have not been
answered. An investigation is being made into
the affair.
