\ ... ' v.- ' 1 V ' K i * 5 4 * fc * > ^ pl: > .*uus Clubbed to Den Another murder has taken place n Slmm's Cross Roads, in this county, a little farmhouse known as IndigoSpriu There lived Mr. Georjje Franklin and v ai'.tor Mi-ts Drusilla, both unmarried : both well up in years. No servants li' in tho house or yard. Their neai neighbors were soiuu negroes who li\ . in cabins about two hundred yards fr the liouso. A young boy, the son of c of those negroes, wasdailv in the habit ?oi lg to the houso to wait on the old Of pie. On Friday morning the servant li went as usual to carry fresh water, a on coming near the house observed t door open, and ho stated in his evidei before Trial Justice Tarrant that when approached the door he saw Mr. Frank! DKAD ON THE FLOoK : and without going into the house he i turned to tho house of his parents aero the road, and distant about two hundr yards, and reported tho fact. At tli cabin several negroes were that mornii engaged in hog killing His father witho going over to Mr. Franklin's house, in mediately sont messengers lbr some < the white ueighbors, and I)r. H. < Waddell and quite a number of citizei soon hurried to the spot, and thev we: shocked at the spectacle they belieli They found Mr. Franklin on "tho lloo killed by a blow on the back ol' ti head which had crashed the skull. I the adjoining room his sister, Miss Dri silia t ranklin. was found dwtd. with lw feet upon the floor i^nd her body restiti upon the bed. Her head had been erusl eU by a blow from u stick in much tli same maunsr as her brother hud bee killed. MURDKRRD AT SUPPER. It seems that the murder was commit ted while they were at supper, as the sii{ per was 011 the table and the coffee onl; partly drunk. Mr. Franklin evident! was killed by the lirst blow, as he ha< fallen back up<m the floor from his eliai at the table. From the blood left upoi the floor, it A'ould appear that his siste w is struck also at the table, and that sin alter wards recovered sufficiently to go into the adjoining room where the linit and fatal blow was uiven. The wound bled profusely. Hlood covered tiie lloo and saturated the bed. TUK IJJSTKCMKNT OF DKATH was a g . een persimmon club about tw< inches in diameter and two feet long which had been cut in a wood near tin house, with a oocket knife. The sticl was bloody anu gray hairs were fount upon it. At the place in the wood. when it was plain that the deadly club had beer cut, another old cudgel was found lyinji on a stump. FOOT PHI NTS. In the field ut the bait of tiie house, I two distinct sets of foot prints were observed as of persons making for the woods. One of these tracks was peculiarly marked, and it is thought it will afford material aid in detecting tiie mur/lun.rw ITIJK OBJKCT was plunder and robbery. Tho murderers liad broken ooen a trunk with a poker and afterwards ransacked it, scattering tiie papers on the floor. The bureau drawers had been pulled open and left in that condition. It is not known how much money these old people had, but it is certain that the murderers did not got all of it. In the very trunk which they ransacked a roll of more than live hundred dollars in greenbacks was found next morning. MQN'KY QVir/TKU INTO A SKIRT. A Tikirt of eoatse cloth belonging to MKh Franklin was found upon the floor with gold and silver coins to tfhe amount of several hundred dollars quilted into it. TIIK iNQrKST. Trial Justices Rogers and Tarrant were sent for, and a Court of Inquest was organized which is stiil in session.Susnicnm has j>oiiited to four negroes, Jelf bavis, John Davis, D n:k Higgins, and a recent immigrant from Alabama, who are still in the custody of the Court. Tho evidence so far tends to criminate these men. Of course a deed of such enormity has wrought the highest indignation, j Hundreds of persons have visited the; [scone daily since the occurrence. The Iictims were buried in the graveyard at k'thlchotn Church cm Saturday. HOAJtL) OF MONKY."
