The controversy and trial took place
in tho warehouse Of Foard & Comegy,

johnson, negro, was hanged here
to-day for muIdenng John Davis,
also colored, on the 5th of February
last, at Hope swamp, about twenty
miles from this place. On account
of its many peculiarities among
which superstition and witchcratt
largely figured the crime for which
johnson to-day paid the death pen
atty, was one OF the most remark
able that has occurred IN the South
for many years. Up to the hour of
his death johnson maintained his
belief IN witchcraft but admitted
that the conjuror, Orange Isaac,
whom he charged with leading him
into the commission of the murder
of Davis in order to gain possession
OF his wife, had deceived him and
escaped by means of his act. He
met his fate firmly. The execution
was private, taking place in the jail
yard, shortly after one o'clock.
