HORRID MURDER !
tif a letter fren
d-iicd Augud ti the Editor
of the Carolina Gazette.
t( A moil barbarous and horrid
reorder was lately committed on rise
bodies ci two Indies of thi* vicinity ’
of the names of Kirjh and Kerjlsy ,
by a negro fellow befooling to a
Mr. Carnes. He had quarrclled 1
with 8 wench belonging to one of 1
the-unfortunate tesnaie?, and having |
beaten her, left her for dead. Fear- \
ing that he had not completed his
diabolical intention, he returned and
difeovered the victim st his malice,
in the prefance of her raiftrefs.—•
The iac!y unfortunately threatened
the rvffian with punilhment, whan,
declaring that he would commie
fomcthUg worthy of it, he feizrd a
losded gu, and after fome ftrug
gling on her part, lodged the whole*
of it* contents in her body !—-She
fell and expired. Her filler, who
faw the horrid transaction, (bricked
with sfirght, and was immediately
attacked & actually beaten to death
with the bu*.t of th gun! It Is
with fomcthing lkc a melancholy
fatisfadion i add, that J tiftice has
had her due, and the blood third/
monfter has expiated his crime in
the flames.”
