Middle Ga. Argus – Week of April 27, 1882
Murder on Christmas Night

On Christmas night, 1880, a white man was found on the railroad track, near 
Hampton, terribly mangled by having been run over by the train.  At the time it 
was supposed to have been an accident, but last week, a Negro on his death bed 
confessed to having murdered and robbed the man, and placed the body on the 
track to prevent suspicion.  He implicated two other Negroes, who have been 
arrested and lodged in jail
