Troy Messenger.
The wife of one Albert Graham. colored,
created quite / sensation this morning by
appearing on the public square early in
search of her husband. She visited the
jail to see If he was there, and found
him not. She went to the guard house
and found no trace of him there She
next went TO the sheriffs office and made
inquiries as to whether warrant had
been issued for his arrest, and was told
that the officials knew nothing of him
or his whereabouts. She said that her
husband had committed no crime and
there was no charges against him that
she could learn anything about, but last
night at II o'clock party of men went
to her house and took her husband from
his bed and carried him off, tied, without
giving him time to get his hat or clothing
OF any kind. She says she attempted to
make her escape by the door, but met
large pistol with the command to be
quiet and stay where she was: that four
men entered and got her husband while
others stayed outside at the buggies,
which were occupied by other men. She
seemed to be greatly distressed and in
doubts as to the safety Of the missing
one. She says she recognized one man
in the crowd and this man has been ar
rested.
We will withhold all names until fur
ther developments.
Our citizens received this story with
considerable doubt and some think the
whole business a canard made from the
whole cloth. Developments may be made
to the story, however, and some one or
more may find themselves in deep and
lasting trouble.
