The Raleigh Register (Raleigh North Carolina) Sep 12, 1826 September 12, 1826

Barbarous. -- A letter from the Yellow Banks, dated
August 13th, relates a disgusting, shocking occurrence, 
as follows:
"Thos. Crews, of this county, was murdered by a young man 
of this town, (Joseph Potts) on Wednesday evening about
dark. Crews and Thos. Potts fought, and Crews bit his
underlip entirely off. His brother Jo hearing of it, came
out into the street, gathered a large stick, and gave
Crews a fatal blow upon the head, so that he expired
next morning. I am glad to state that the controversy
did not grow out of the election."
