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,

nooe he mentioned it to a friend, but

If not the man who failed to do it was
to lie executed. The object was to kill
white men. ' They were going to kill
Elios Inman and Clinton Good. They
have guns and pistols and ammunition,
and they were kept by the bead man,
Giles Good, in his cellar. On one occa

Henry Bailey said he was made a
member of the club about two weeks
ago. The object ofthe club was to make

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.
