 George Johnson, a negro boy about town, was found dead, yesterday morning,
in front of Mr. V.F. Vogh’s residence with a bullet through his body.  He
had been to church the night before and when leaving was seen in company
with a negro boy, named Mose, porter for Mr. W.S. Leyens, with whom he had
had a difficulty and the supposition is that Mose killed him, as he is
missing.
