w ride in His Bed.

Cesar Smith, a colorcd man living at Don,
aldSrillc, was murdered at home in his bcd
last Monday night. He was heutcn on the
head with sticks until his scalp was almost
completely cmovcu and his lace was so hnr-
yibly mangled that the corpse presented a
CHASTITY spectacle. He was fuInG lying under
tn" bed, in his night clothes, and from the ap-
rcarai!cc Of the surroundings, it is supposed
that he was attacked while asleep. There was
blood ON the clubs and blood on nearly every
thing in the room. one club WAS {; green
stick two inches in diameter, which evidently
had been cut for the purpose.
Caesar Smith was about fifty years Old, and
lived in the house with another negro named
Andy Gricr. Andy Gricr explains his alb
scnce from HON on Monday night, by saying
that the murdered man brought Il message
flOln q negro woman living on Charlie Cal
hOun'S place, telling him to come up there
that night to write Il letter. and consequently
he was away from hoInc that night. Tive Eo
man denies having sent the message. The de-
ceased WAS discovered dead in the morning
under tile bed. : watch was Ound in his pos
session, supposed to Belong to linn He had
received some money a few days ago, but 1t Is
supposed he had very little at the time OF his
death.
The news of tic murder created considera-
bic interest amnng trtth white and black citi-
ZcnS. Trial Justice Martin organized !; jury
IF inquest, but up to the time the ll:3o tram
passed that place no clue to the perpetrators
of the deed had been discovered.
The features Of harbarity which character
iZc this murder together with the Instruments
used, would lead us to believe that the decd
was committed by negroes. The deceased was
considered an excellent negro and was liked
by all the White people who knew him.
