After traveling some two or three ^ I miles, was met by a party and negro was taken away from me. I I could not tell how many were ( in the party: probably 20.

The negro was i lying on the ground when I found 1 him. lie said he had been whip- | ped. The jury returned the vediet that deceased came to his death from the effects of wounds inflicted by unknown parties. An interview with Constable s McCullough brought forth the fact that on Wednesday nLdit last is ii o y.. _ i_ r* 11 oumpsnii s giuuuuso was burned. Suspicion fell on Elbert J Hums, with his father and oroth- i or, who are now in jail. A search of their house revealed startling things.
