Bats, an old negro, was murdered
last October on this side Of BlOomery
Swamp bridge. Amos was found In

suspected of the crime and these
were arraigned, but discharged, the
State finding insufficient evidence to
hold them, and until short while
back those ree ponsible for the crime
remained inexperienced until Dave
Bird admitted to different parties
that he and another negro, Jesse Nc
Neili, came out of the woods and
ovestaking Amos Bats on the road
from Wilson knocked him on the
head for his whiskey aud money,
and then placing him back in his
buggy allowed his mule to take him
on home.
