at work IN the same field, for assistance but IN

hoes and soon put him to death. The three ne
groes sccrcted the body of Alr. b., in a brush
heap bat in two days time 1t beginning 10
smell they removed it to log pile, sci every
thing on fire, and burnt the body TO ashes
The negroes, suspecting that the absence Of
their master would soon be known, assumed
boldness enough to tell some of the neighbors
that Mr.. b., had been absent for some days
that his horse had come up saddled, bridled
&c. and that they suspected foul play. a
search was Immediately instituted by the neigh
bors, and after some time they came upon the
spot in the field where the combat had takel
place between MIR. Boyd and the negroes. One
thing led to another until the negroes were al
arrested, when they acknowledged their crime
