Editor Colfsr Croaicls 3:
On the 10th Of this month George
Starks, while blowing in HE field.
was wayIaid and shot in the back.
He was knocked down, but not f.
tally hurt. Though negro, such an
outrage on humanity elicited sympa-
thy, and . feeling that such an out
rage should not be tolerated in the
neighborhood. A man that would
waylay and murder one man, # offen-
ded would waylay and murder an
other. Several white men exerted
themselves to find out il possible who
did the shooting, but made no dis
coveries that would lead to the per-
petrator. Starks, having had . pre-
NOUS difficulty with John Ashton.
another negro, had him arrested on
suspicion and carried before Esquire
Chelette. Upon examination Cheiette
dismissed the accused for want Of
sufficient evidence to commit him.
Starks believing Ashton TO be the
guilty party had him again arrested
| and carried to Colfax and incar.
csrafed until Judge Blackman could
be sent for at Alexandria All The
iwitnesses, twelve or fifteen, wes,<
