there are some things which they have

ing to trace the movements OF a gang
Of negroes a short time before the army

Saturday night he noticed three negroes
talking on the pOstOnice steps As he
started up the ROAD toward West End
the negroes followed him, making in
sulting remarks. The general paid no
heed to them at first, but finally turned
and asked them what they meant.
As they reached the main business
corner Of the town, General King says
two OF the negroes struck him IN the
face while the third hit him with
stone Taking out his pocket knife he
stabbed Will Martin IN the side. Both
the Martin brothers. however. assert
that they were not implicated ir the
