Then negro preacher named Con-
nelly rushed out of a house with a
gun in his hand, attempting to shoot,

also killed, though it is said she was

The shooting had nc direct connec-

it is undoubtedly the sequel to that

that the negroes have been holding
nightly meetings, preparing to attack
the whites.
