for $1,000 each aud transferred the bond
for titles to himself and borrowed $20m
from a Mr. Tyson of Savannah. He paid
off the $500 notes, but she has not received
any of the balance. He has since, she

threw him overheard to conceal the evil
CClceS of their crime.
1t seems that the man they wanted to
rob had been employed at the same phos-

he was paid off and it was learned that he
was going away, Gurley and his com
ranons decided to rob him. They went
Down to the depot that night while their
man was waiting for the train ana one
OF them enticed him away from the sta
tton, where they jumped on him and beat
him into a state of insensibility. After
securing his money they determined to
put him away. Accordingly they secured
piece of railroad iron and a cogwheei.
These they tied to his hands and feet
with some telegraph wire, and finished
ip the job by throwing him in the Pease
Their victim chanced to be from Mas
sau, and throwing him in the water was
similar to throwing brer rabbit in the
briar patch. The water revived him and
by the time he reached the bottom he was
endeavoring to unfasten himself. They
had not been able to tie the wire very
snugly about his limbs and II did not
take the Conch, as the Nassau negroes
are called, long TO loosen himself from
the deadly weights. After he came to the
surface he swan ashore and cautiously
made his way up town.
The next morning he swore out a war
rant for his assailantS and went with an
officer to point them out. When they ap-
preached the intended prisoners, the sup
posed murdered man was identified by the
crowd, who were more frightened at his
appearance than the officers, and they ran
away in frantic fright. Gurley is proba-
bly, the only one of the men who will ever
stand trial for the offense. 1t is needless
to say that the Nassau negro is regarded
with much awe
