der were the opening chapters of story
which began at Bostwick last Sunday
morning, and the final chapter of which
will depict penitent niger dangling
from the end of rope in the Putnam
county Jail yard during the waning days
of autumn.
The negros were gambling. Levi
Knox claimed that his partner (name
not known) had taken so cents of his
money. There were some words.
Then Levi rose UP and plunged his
knife into the mans neck. He turned
and started to get away, but Levi follow
ed him and plunged his knife into the
back of the fleeing, bleeding negro.
That back stab is the one that put a
rquietus on life. He dfopped in his
tracks and died in few moments.
Within three hours Levi was under
arrest. Goss Mattox and Mr.. Gibson
took him in custody and delivered him
up 10 Sheriff Kennerly. The evidence
is complete. He will have a prelimi-
nary hearing before Justice John E.
Marshall tomorrow.
Both the murderer and his victim
were employees OF the Maltox turpentine
farm at Bostwick.
