Yoskvilus, December 15.—About two weeks ago, or on the night of November 30, John Lee Good, a little son of Mr. W. E. Good, who live# in the western at thiff county was brutally mur derod: The Nows and Courier has pub lished several very meagre accounts of the horrible affitir, from which it has ap peared that about forty negroes m this county have banded together to rob and plunder and murder all persons who might detect them in their lawlessness. ... ROW WERT AJtV MIKPEK. The coroner’s investigation of the murder of little John Lee Good lias re vealed a most alarming state affairs in that section, showing most conclusively that a stupendous conspiracy had been formed among the negroes, the object being robbery and murder. An inno cent child was the first victim of the fiendish miscreants, but developments have proved that other murders were freely discussed and planned, and that only recently members of the gang lay in wait one night for a prominent dozen, knowing he would pass a certain point on the evening named. TTie confession of one of the uartici}*nts in this nflair is oorroUiratci by the gentleman him •elf so far as to place, action of hit bone, he., and a day or two after the occur nooe he mentioned it to a friend, but without the least suspicion that by a (for tuitous circumstance, cither lack of cour age of the man on watch, or IwcanM he hp, he was i»\ cd from sis Trial Justice i.

The object ofthe club was to make • living by misdemeanor—-to take that which don’t belong to yon. If we were caught by any one we wore to do away with him. Giles Good was captain and carried his gnu. All that was stolen was to go to the bon man, Giles Good, to be distributed among the 'members of the club. Amos Bm&rr testified as to his mem-, bership and his knowledge of the society. “TIUC KIHIKO STAR UOIXtB.” With this testimony the coroner’s in quest was adjourned until to-day, but on toaforday ajufy of investigation heard testimony of members of a known secret society in the neighborhood. ' This is called Rising Star Dodge, No. 24, of the Gland United Older of the National Laborer's Aid Protective Society of North America. The printed laws of the Order and the charter of this lodge were produced. The charter emanated from Charlotte, K. C., bears date December, 18H4; and is signed by S. M. Fhars. supreme scribe. These documents re veal only benevolent and fraternal tea hues of the Order, and several witnesses were examined, their testimony bearing out this state of facts, though the jury in their verdict, regard the lodge es a nuisance to their neighborhood. / The proceeding! of the day were closed with the testimony of Adam Thompson, a colored youth 16 or 17 ream old, of medium mteiligenoe, who'revealed the following startling episode in this event ful chapter he having on a previous ex ami nation oonfeeecd to being a member wanted were not in the jafl the wmtM-be ere I »Mii 3 the pr%)ner«i had tmgMJroin Judge ingMoses Lipecoi men wanted, danger to the order last / transferring erts,.“ “ Giles jA#Kl- „ I . .. via Gastonia, N.
