The Huntsville Weekly Democrat, 26 April 1882
Homicide
------------
  On Friday last, Ned. Williams, a negro man, was killed at or near the farm 
of Carver D. King, in this county.  On Monday last, affidavit was made before 
Robert W. Figg, by Moses B. Williams, negro, charging four negroes – Sandy 
Beasley and his wife, Lucy, and two daughters, Mary and Martha – with the 
killing.  We hear that Ned was stabbed in the breast and in the stomach, one 
wound in each, and that one or more of defendants held Ned, while one stabbed 
him.  Justice Figg issued his warrants against all four, and Bartley 
Lightfoot, colored constable, arrested the three women, and brought them 
before the Justice in this city, Monday afternoon, and they were committed to 
the county jail, to await future examination.  Sandy was not found.
