Raleigh Standard 12 Mar 1860
         HOMICIDE
   An affray took place on Tuesday evening last in the Southwestern part of 
the City, between GREEN J. MAYNARD and BURWELL MANGUM, which resulted in the 
death of the latter about eight o'clock Wednesday morning. It seems there had 
been a previous difficulty between the parties. MANGUM went to the house of 
MAYNARD and, calling him by name, asked him to come out of the garden, 
whereupon MAYNARD came out with a hoe, with which he had been working, in his 
hand, and struck the deceased a very severe blow with his fist, knocking him 
down. After he was down MAYNARD dealt upon him many severe blows with the hoe 
which he held in his hand. The object of MAYNARD seems  to have been to 
mutilate and murder the deceased on the spot, and would have succeeded but for 
the interference of bystanders.
   On the examination by the jury of inquest Wednesday morning of the body it 
was found to be sadly mutilated and bruised.
   DR. DUPREE  testified that the wound on the head and those on the left 
breast would have caused death; but there were marks of vilence in many other 
parts.
   The verdict of the jury was that BURWELL MANGUM came to his death by blows 
inflicted on his head and left breast with a hoe by GREEN J. MAYNARD. The 
deceased leaves a widow and eleven children.
   MAYNARD was sent to jail by MAYOR HARRISON Tuesday night to await further 
process.
