   MURDER! -- The dead body of JOHN DAVIS, of Wake County, planter, (who 
formerly filled the office of Sheriff) was on Saturday last, found in the 
woods, at some distance from his residence, and from the marks of violence 
which appeared upon it, not doubt was entertained of his having been murdered.
ELIJAH KIMBROUGH was last night committed to jail, on what evidence we have 
not heard, on charge of being guilty of the foul act. -- Raleigh Register
