The Wilson Advance Friday August 20, 1880 (Wilson, NC) August 14, 1880
An Atrocious Crime
The sad news reached here Monday that Gen. Bryan Grimes
an estimable citizen of Pitt county, while returning from 
Washington last Saturday was shot and killed between
sunset and dark near the line of Craven and Pitt, a few
miles above Chocowity X roads. He lived until he reached
Mr. Jos. B. Stickney's. There was a little boy, the son of
T. H. Satterthwaite of Washington with him in the buggy
at the time he was shot. This atrocious crime which is
perhaps the most atrocious ever perpetrated in this section
of the Sate has caused much indignation and if the 
murderer or muderers be found it is likely Judge Lynch
will execute the law.
