The other negro. Albert Royal, It
said to have gone on the bond for the
accused man.
After having kept silent about the
matter for the time Intervening, the
negroes, It was alleged, began to
boast openly of the deed, and speak
of It with pride to their fellows.
They kept up the talk. It Is alleged
until ihe matter was brought to the
ears of several white men in that
community. The two men were chas
ed down and captured, and then the
killing Is said to have resulted.
The local population Is greatly ex*|
cited over the matter. It Is not
known whether the white men Impll*
