Mr.. WILSON, in his speech at
Erin, made charge which, if he is
IA gentleman, he will either prove
or withdraw. He charged that sew
enl papers in the state had offered
to support him for governor if he
would pay them various sums from
800 to $50. We have no doubt of
the falsity of the charge, and de-
mand proof.

stated that the fusion candidate was
elected governor by 1000 or 5000

legislature either anti-republican or
very equally divided, and a thor

SHOCKING EVENTS HIN ROBERT
ERTS0N COUNTY.
Murder with superstition
and Terrible RetrtbuffOn.

and Terrible RetrtbutfOn.
About the end of last month {
well-known gentleman OF Sadlers
vile, in Robertson county, named
EaPrade, a bachelor and of eccentric
habits, was found to be missing, and
careful search was instituted by
his brother, Mr.. Gus. LaPrade, and
his sister, Mrs. Dunn. This search
was prosecuted until the body was
found in sink-hoIe near the resi-
dence of the deceased.
A remarkable circumstance con-
nected with this search was the part
taken by a negro woman, a reputed
fortune-teller, in discovering the
hiding-place of the body. She was
visited by Mr.. David Allen and Mr..
Walter Rust, and after some Jug
Cling with the cards, she told them
many circumstances which were
afterwards corroborated by facts;
described infinitely the murder, de-
scrfbed the general appearance of
the murdered man, and two negroes
TO whom she attributed the murder,
and the place where the body was
deposited. This woman was a pro-
fessed fortune-tellerand her husband
negro who lives by gambling, no
toriouSly bad character. OF course
we discard at once the theory of any
supernatural means, but it is obvi-
Gus that this woman was an accom-
plice, if not before, az least after
the fact.
The body was found by Messrs.
t. M. Rust and James Hill in
sink-hOle some little distance from
Mr.. Dunn's residence. 1t was shock
ingly mutilated, with evidences of
torture during life, and the back of
the skull beaten in.
Eight negroes altogether were ar
rested on suspicion of this deed and
sent to Springfield (the county-seat
for safe-keeping. We have not been
informed what was the evidence on
which they were arrested. Our
neighbor Mr.. Ingram, of the To-
bacco Leaf, interviewed them at
Springfield, but elected nothing of
except the acknowledge
ment of two of them that they were
with the fortune-teller
aforementioned, and had recent
conversation with her.
THE LYNCnING.
On Tuesday night large number
of men took violent possession of
the. Jail, shot a white man named |
Ramsey, who was in on charge of |
shooting lady, and took out Bell |
and Jamison, two of the negroes ar
rested for the LaPrade murder, and
hung them within two miles of the
Jail. We have heard rumors that
more of the prisoners were lynched
on Wednesday night. tbs believed
that there are gang of desperadoes
in that part of the country bent on
murder and robbery.
1t is said that the negroes con-
fessed before their death to the MUIR
der, and to having tortured and
mutilated their victim in order to
force him to produce his money.
