"The object Of attack by negroes is
the puzzling part OF The case up TO Che
present. The mode of attack, the three
shots. two of them in the back. and vari-
Gus other circumstances are wholly unlike
what might be expected from negro foot
pads. 10 is thought that the negroes
might have had some object other than
ROBBERY in killing the young MAN. This
belief is also borne ont Dos tne statement
of Mr. Minor. who says he heard one of
TWO negroes, who had followed him. zee
mark. on. come on. that amt him. lf
robbery had been tho object OF attack

mysterious one. and are 40 loss to know
why anyone should have had 90 motive

popular among NJ who knew him. The
