Murder in Morehouse.
Franklin Sinclair, who was one of the candidates to represent Ouachita 
parish in the lower
branch of the Legislature of this State, was killed near Linngrove, on 
Wednesday last, in the parish of Morehouse, while riding along the road, in 
company with another colored man. There is mystery in this foul deed, and 
as murder will out, we hope soon to be able to place the facts before our 
readers.
The murdered man was one of the best educated colored men in the community, 
had excellent qualities of head and heart, was a friend both to the whites 
and colored.
