Waynesboro. Ga., December 11.
Nothing has hapi>ened in recent years
that has wrought so much excitement
as the stabbing of Mose Green. Wed
nesday night, about eight miles from
the city. In the afternoon about dark,
•he, with a party, left the city,' going
cut on the Quaker road about eigh,
miles. About 2 o’clock that night
word was received in the city of tin-
serious cutting of Mr. Green.
It seems tltat the party were drink
ing and Green was stabbed in re ■ riv
100 plaees, the ettis varying from nr-
qnarter of an inclt to an inch d ■-p,
covering almost his entire body. !>rs.
Milner and Cox went to his assist
ance, and at 10 o’clock Thursday he
was brought to the city, and is at his
heme, doing as w-ell as could be ex
pected at present.
Green accuses Byrom Evans of do
ing the cutting, while Evans stoutly
denies it- No warrants have hern
issued up to this time. Green is a
paralytic and! is almost helpless when
well, and the cutting of him has
created much excitement for he was
universally liked by all who knew
him. Several theories are advanced
as to (how this afltack was made,
but no one knows just how it happen
ed. The affair seems to be a mys
tery. and developments will be watch
ed with interest.
