John Agnew, of this city, were engaged
in an effort to divert attention from Bog
gan Cash's real hiding place by circuIat-

was to be buried there. No public notice
had been given Of the time or place of
the funeral, and consequently the atten-

wise have been. About seventy. five
persons were present, including some ten
or fifteen from Cheraw and the immedi-

held over the body, which was followed
to the grave by the entire family, with
the exception of his father, who remained
on the piazza of his residence, but with
