Jackson Argus – Week of April 26, 1895
Mr. J. H. Land one of our most energetic citizens, came in with Bob Lee, 
Saturday morning and says Bob is the man who wrecked the train near Jackson.  
Some time since, for which Caesar Banks was held and acquitted.

Col. Wright has been employed by the road to prosecute the Negro.  We learn 
that there is some very strong evidence against the accused and he will 
doubtless be bound over and may be finally convicted.   There is no good 
citizen in this section but who earnestly desires to see the mystery 
surrounding this incident solved.

There is no one who feels his own property is safe in a country where any other 
person’s property is not safe, and works still if a man is mean enough to risk 
the lives of helpless passengers to vent his hate, he is indeed dangerous.  If 
Bob or any other man did it, we will want to know it and know it now.
