of assaulting and stabbing Mr. Julian r.
Llpscomb, a young man well known in
the city. The alteration between Mr..
Lipscomb and the negro occurred about

an ugly wound in his right arm, as he
warded off the blow the negro aimed for
his breast. The assault was unprovoked,

captured until several hours later. The
